User talk:TheRationalGuitarist

Thank you for excellent edits in classical guitar. I wish to make you aware that Wiki has a classical guitar technique article. You may wish to direct technical performance content to the more specific article to avoid excessive length of the main article. BTW your username intrigues me - it has a familiar ring to it that reminds me of a certain book's title. RichardJ Christie 21:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Edvard Grieg
Hi. You recently replaced free links to audio files with commercial links. Do you think this was the best thing to do? Viriditas (talk) 14:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Maby.

Without getting into too much detail let me just mention a few thoughs:
 * The article is about Edvard Grieg, so if Grieg himself recorded, then it is very fitting to provide information about these recordings.
 * Wikipedia is not just about links to free stuff. If relevant, anything can be added. (Perhaps the "Recordings by Edvard Grieg"-section should be above the "External Links"-section.
 * The free links to audio files were... rubbish. Why? Well the first link 1 just goes to some mp3s without mentioning the performer. What the heck is that? That's more than enough reason, to remove the link. The second link is to midi files, which - ask any true musician (oh wait... there aren't any left) - is not really music but just sound-scraps with no musicianly value whatsoever.

If you still feel bad about it, you can always go and add those links again.TheRationalGuitarist (talk) 15:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I've just noticed that some midis, may have been sequenced from historical piano rolls (ref), as opposed to the usual midi-junk that is sequenced directly one-to-one from scores. That might be interesting... but the sound probably isn't good. If you do add the link in again (I wouldn't), do mention that it may include some midis sequenced from historical piano rolls left by performers Marguerite Volavy, Hans Barth, anon, ...Adler, Percy Grainger etc. (and if you really feel bold, mention that some other midis, might be sequenced directly from the score and thus be junk - just joking... or am I?).TheRationalGuitarist (talk) 16:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

As reviewing administrator, I apparently missed the early history of the article and I have restored the whole. I'm removing the prod; it seems there is a decent version to revert to, and I will revert to it--before your material was added. I'm no expert, but some of what you subsequently put in may be usable, and I leave that to you and the other editors interested. In any case, we do not link to people's blogs, except when the blog is that of the person who is the subject of the article. We also do not link directly to commercial recordings, though we can certainly mention them. DGG (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
