"the Music of Oregon article is a mess and needs to be cleaned up extensively before it is included. Katr67 20:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)" Comment copied over from main talk page.
 * Discussion:


 * the Music of Tennessee article fails to mention Bristol, Tennessee with regard to early country music/bluegrass artists hailing from the Bristol, Tennessee area along with the recording industry making the "Bristol Recordings" of these same artists.

Music of England has been thrownnw into complete disarray by merging with Folk music of England thus linking morris dancing with Elgar and Purcell. Needs complete reorganisation. releasing this with Wikipedia imprimatur would damage Wikipedia's reputation. --Smerus 12:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Question - Exactly what are we supposed to do with a list of 287 articles? I can certainly see including some of the "national music" articles, like "Music of (the United States, Nigeria, the Lesser Antilles, Albania, Italy, Barbados, Dominica, Hungary, Trinidad and Tobago, Ireland, New Zealand, Finland, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Spain, and Thailand - all of which are GA class or better), and maybe several of the "national" B-class articles, but is Music of North Dakota, for instance, really being nominated here? John Carter 15:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I agree that it is rather overwhelming - that's why no one's tackled this task so far, though at least the articles have been rated. I've reviewed all of the FAs and A-Class articles, and I think all of these could be included (none of the ratings have changed in 9 months - remarkable!).  I expect the same to be true for the GAs, though I haven't had time to review those yet.  Regarding the B-Class, I think we'll have to look over those and choose carefully; those that are Start-Class or below should not make it, IMHO.  While I do think Athens, GA and Philly are notable for their contributions to music, I agree that we can manage without a Start-Class article on the Music of North Dakota.  I think unless any of the Start-class articles really stands out in terms of importance, we should not include any of those. Walkerma 06:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I've included all of the FAs and As that are still FA/A (most), and all of the GAs. I noticed with the GA list that some were tagged as GA-Class yet they didn't look like they'd ever been reviewed for GA - perhaps a project member misunderstood the meaning of a GA tag.  I would propose that we now include Music of Saint Lucia, now promoted to GA.  I will review the B-Class articles as time allows. Walkerma 04:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Just on the off-chance anyone has this on their watchlist, the Music of Zambia article is horrific as is. Needs to be checked for copyvio issues and has dozens of red links throughout. --Not to mention that it has no references. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 18:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Music of Russia: I had hoped to link this article to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and The Five, an FA which I recently expanded to give a fuller explanation of the Western vs. Slavic argument prevalent in 19th century Russian arts. This expansion, which is part of a larger effort to revamp Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and its related articles, necessitated considerable research and my sources, including several authors in the 2001 edition of the New Grove, are solid. I was therefore surprised, horrified and embarrassed in reading this article. Much of the info was inaccurate, at least in the section on 18th and 19th century classical music, the language un-encyclopedic and flowery. The article did not even have a proper bibliography. And the powers that be are attempting to market Wikipedia more aggressively to institutes of higher learning?! No wonder college instructors routinely tell their students not to use Wikipedia for essays and research projects.

Being a firm believer in "If you don't like something on Wikipedia, fix it because that's one reason anybody is allowed to edit it," I have updated some of the info in 18th/19th classical music, added sources from PIT & The Five and created a bibliography. However, if the rest of the article is in as sad a shape as the section on which I worked, it needs a thorough and complete overhaul. Because of my commitment to the Tchaikovsky articles and bios of others related to him, I do not have the time to do so at this juncture. Nevertheless, I wanted to say something for two reasons: to alert others to my concern that including Music in Russia at this point would reflect negatively on Wikipedia and in hope that by my saying something here, someone else would pick up from where I left off.Jonyungk (talk) 17:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

To be included
Besides the ones that I added already (mentioned above), I propose that we add the following:
 * Music of Athens, Georgia FA, rated Top importance by the Georgia WikiProject, home of REM, Indigo Girls, B-52s, etc.
 * Music of Trinidad and Tobago B, home of calypso
 * Music of Hawaii B
 * Music of Antigua and Barbuda B
 * Music of Spain B
 * Latin American music B, good overview
 * Music of Turkey Nice B
 * Jewish music B
 * Music of the United Kingdom Almost no coverage pre-1960, but rated B, and obviously important
 * Music of China Decent B
 * Music of California B, though mainly post-1950
 * Music of Brazil B
 * Music of Cuba B
 * (More to be added)

The remainder will need to be judged from the SelectionBot selection, which wasn't available when this nomination was made. Walkerma (talk) 08:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
