I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Your additions to National Chamber Choir are likely more up to date, but they are not written in encyclopedic language, also may raise the question of copyright. Please rephrase, and raise questions with the Project Classical music. I will watch here for an answer --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:10, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your request for help now. Let's start with a few hints for editing. If you go to a talk page, please don't edit the complete page, but click on "New section", to supply a heading. If you want to link within Wikipedia, you use only the internal name. Every new entry on talk pages should be indented by one more ":" than the one before. I will answer more questions as they come up. Colin Mawby composed a Mass for us ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:19, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If I was you I would change single facts that are wrong supplying an independent (!) source. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question about language/content

I don't understand what you mean about the language of my edit not be encyclopaedic? It is a factual representation of the people who have conducted the choir (history), and its recent history of performing and recording and the key people who have held key posts therein. The version that is reverted to (now by another user/admin/editor) is actually factually incorrect and I am endeavouring to ensure that the facts contained in the public domain about this organisation are factual and up to date. Can you please explain why my version is unacceptable. Many thanks Majella Hollywood (talk) 11:24, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(copied from the assistance board)I have undone your edit again, because it was overly promotional. Wikipedia does not allow editors to edit about subjects with which they have a conflict of interest as you do, because you will automatically be biased, you probably don't even realise your changes were promotional. What you need to do is request neutral, referenced changes to the article on the talk page, Talk:National Chamber Choir, using the {{editrequest}} tag--Jac16888 ^Talk 11:25, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(ec - edit conflict, we edited at the same time) There are examples for references in the article which you can use as models. You can present your version on the talk page - with references please - or one a user page, where we can discuss it before it becomes the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:31, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
