See Talk:Baroque music#Fux et al. Please reply there, not here. Also, you're edit-warring: see WP:3RR. --Francis Schonken (talk) 20:04, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EKT0315, I was alerted to this as I received a notice that you were copying material from elsewhere. It looks like you are copying from other Wikipedia articles, however in order to do this you must attribute it or it becomes a copyright issue. Also, when your edits have been challenged it's important to discuss the changes on the article's talk page - do not re-add them until the concerns have been met.

In response to the content that you're trying to add, Francis is correct in that there must not be undue weight given to one artist above another. While yes, Handel's Messiah is a vitally important piece as far as musical history goes, there are other artists and pieces from that time period that are of equal import. As such, what I would recommend is that you look at creating content that focuses on late baroque music in general rather than focusing on one specific person.

Suggestion

I just started Late Baroque (music) as a stub (currently containing one single sentence of prose). I don't know whether modifying your school assignment is even an option, but anyhow, here's my suggestion: instead of working on Baroque music it might be a good idea for you to just write the Late Baroque (music) article, less encumbered by prior content, and giving a bit more freedom to give details about the people, publications and music you apparently like to write about. When that works out, its content could be summarized in the Baroque music#Late baroque music (1680–1750) section. Greetz. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:29, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
