Fugue

Hi. What do you actually know of music theory? Some of your copyedits to the fugue article have been good - but others have been seriously detrimental - some of the terminology is now flagrantly misused, and renders the information misleading. You're just undoing hard work! Matt.kaner 16:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey that's cool. What I think needs really serious work is the history section - it's so incoherent! Matt.kaner 22:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Featured sound nom

Thanks for nominating a sound at featured sound! I hope you don't mind, but I refactored your nomination slightly. You hadn't filled out the 'reasons for nominating', but had expounded in your support, so I moved it up. Feel free to change it at all if need be. Also, I commented on the sound.

Scott Joplin

In contexts where the article talks about his family, we should refer to him as "Scott" or "Scott Joplin" to distinguish him from other family members, especially Giles. Would you mind reverting those two changes? --Stepheng3 (talk) 16:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar

I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.

It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.

Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.

Featured Sounds needs you

Featured sounds was booming with activity in the March/April period, ideally that should be all the time. FS has been a battleground at times, however, it is my hope that that is in the past. I ask you all to reconsider your positions and set aside the differences you may have had with other participants for the good of the project and encyclopedia. Don't let FS become like VP, it is a path that a featured process should traverse. You were sent this message because you are listed at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Contributors or have been a past contributor.

Fortunately the FSC process is accomodating to fluctuating levels of availability. Some processes you have a week or 10 days and it is done. Here they give the reviewers time to track down sheet music and take time to evaluate everything. Eventually, people will come by and make some decisions.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:42, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Epsom College Photo

Hi, I am enquiring about a picture you added to the Epsom College Wikipedia page (looking up at the main tower from below). I am a student here at Epsom College, and I am designing a new cover for the Offical Prep diary's next year. I have included your picture in my design, but have not yet published it since I was aware of some type of Copyright. I am aware that it is probably not as simply as me just asking you, but is this alright? I will gladly send you a copy of the design if you require one. 77.96.122.13 (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Grace file usage

Since you voted at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Three versions of Amazing Grace, I was hoping you would comment at Wikipedia_talk:Featured_sound_candidates#Message_on_behalf_of_TonyTheTiger.C2.A0.28talk.C2.A0.C2.B7_contribs.29.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am a bit bewildered by your response. You rambled quite a bit and I see no opinion on whether you feel the files I raised an issue about would be well-suited to the article. However, you gave what appears to be a pro-WP:OWNership statement "I think an FS should be used to enhance WP, and that the sound recordings should be used to give added value to an article in collaboration with the editors who have worked on the article in question already." If I am interpreting the statement correctly, it means that when an editor spends a lot of time on an article the does sort of OWN it in the sense that rather than considering what is best for the article we actually consider their preferences. Am I reading this correctly that the preferences of people who spend time on an article are more important in this regard.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. As I understand it, you basically feel that extensive involvement in an article is often associated with topical expertise and newly involved editors should not make lightly-considered changes to well-conceived pages such as FAs. I also gather that you consider yourself not qualified/interested enough in the specific song and files at issue to state an opinion on whether the files at issue should be included as I suggest. Basically, I consider you neutral out of deference to a likely topical expert. I hope to get some opinions one way or another from other audiophiles, but I understand. I also agree that the author knows more about the article subject than most. However, this remains the only time in my use of over 200 sound files that I have contributed to Wikipedia where I continue to disagree with other editors on the inclusion of a file. Thus, I remain hopeful that someone at FSC is enough of an expert to provide an opinion one way or another.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:59, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Can you post my last reply above at FSC so that people might be clearer on what I am looking for. You may want to add your reply on my talk page there as well.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:02, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of compositions by Scott Joplin

Hi, I see that you are rewriting List of compositions by Scott Joplin. However, I have made a bunch of edits on the article that I feel are improvements, such as improving the sortability of the table. Also, I disagree with creating a separate table for lost works, as we can make all of the lost works appear next to each other when the notes column of the table is sorted. I think it is best to consolidate things in one table when possible.Hoops gza (talk) 00:03, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help decide the future of Wikimania

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).

After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.

In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

With thanks,
