Ok, this is a call for Reaper (DAW) users to put together some info on Reaper for inclusion on the Reaper Wikipedia page.

here are some ideas for a structure: -

- Brief description paragraph.

- Paragraph about Justin and Cockos (mmaybe get a quote from Justin on what he set out to achieve).

- Severeral paragraphs charting the history of the program (one for each major version update).

- Paragraph containing info on specific 'good bits'

- Paragraph about program size/memory key/portability and compatability.

- paragraph about plugins.

- Paragraph about skin themes.

- Paragraph about the community.

- Paragraph containing some quotes from reveiws.

hi dazza, i post on the REAPER forums (fora?) as hourglass - thanks for making it over here. i think you're definitely on the right track with this - as it stands, the article is little more thana stub since it just has one section and no lead-in paragraph. i'd suggest looking at other DAW articles for inspiration (and possible a template that could be adopted) - Logic Pro is a B-class article (good, not great), as is Pro-Tools - i also think the layout of Digital Performer is pretty good too. Wikipedia tends to like articles about similar things to follow similar patterns - an example of a featured-article level software article is Mozilla Firefox.

the key point for me here is that we want to expand the article, not just make it longer - so we're looking for good, verifiable, unbiased content. of course, unbiased doesn't mean we can't be positive - REAPER is clearly a good product. we just need to be careful that we are stressing that this is the opinion held by users and reviewers, not by Wikipedia itself.

Hello. I can but agree to what you propose. Also the 64-bit build could use a mention as well. Maybe the "Feature highlights" from the reaper home page could be a starting point to a guide to the reaper features?

Keeping up with Justin's numerous updates might prove to be undoable, since the man works so fast! :)

Citations missing

Hi Scott.

I noticed that you put a Citations missing tag on the page. I'm just a wee bit curious how the miniscule content on the page could be cited, since I think all of it is just straight out of the home page? Is the content debatable in any way so that it needs to be sourced? I'm just a newbie on here, so please bear with me! :)

--mightylikearose (talk) 22:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For notability to be established data must come from a third party reliable source, not from the home page of the product itself. See WP:N and WP:CITE for the appropriate guidelines. Cheers, Scott.wheeler (talk) 23:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that the article should be deleted, if it's not improved upon and sourced? --mightylikearose (talk) 07:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added references from Sound On Sound magazine. I made them as a general reference according to WP:CITE. --mightylikearose (talk) 08:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do have two links to the articles on SOS's web site, should they be added and where?

--mightylikearose (talk) 16:45, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it's had more than a passing mention (e.g. at least a paragraph or two) in Sound on Sound a couple of times that meets the criteria for notability. However, the article should be written based on the references. That's to say that the content should be based on cited references, like in a journal article. Notability must be established by third party sources (i.e. Sound on Sound) but once notability is established you can also reference primary sources (i.e. the software's website).

Prices

I deleted the mention of the price of the product per WP:NOPRICES. Please don't include prices of products unless there is a justified reason for their inclusion. Thanks. SnottyWong talk 16:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on REAPER. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Remove "This article has multiple issues" tag

The page is relatively factual now, with a lot more references. I added the History section, cleaned up or corrected inaccuracies in a few places, and changed some headings for consistency with similar pages such as Pro Tools. Any issue with removing the "This article has multiple issues" tag now? Tenvolt (talk) 18:01, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
