So... what's with the dashes? Why do some - become — and some –? --Ben Brockert 00:07, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

"–" (–) should be used for ranges such as measurements ("five–six meters") and periods in time ("1984–2003"), whereas "—" (—) make breaks in the text ("the old man was — despite his age — still healthy"). — Pladask 10:51, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ok. I should have looked before asking you;

Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) specifically discourages single spaced hyphens. As such, thanks for doing what you're doing, and keep up the good work. --Ben Brockert

Hi Pladask! Funny, I was just about to make that same fix to Grieg, and you already did it! Great minds think alike, LOL. Also I added Grieg to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Composers since the article is really short. Happy editing! Antandrus 16:14, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it's embarrassingly short! I'm travelling next week, but after that I'm planning to grab a pile of biographies and do some serious expanding. :-) BTW, it's funny that the article on his great piano concerto is actually longer than the article on its composer. — Pladask 16:22, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That would be great; I'd love to see the article grow. Have a happy week of traveling! Antandrus 16:29, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I shall add the category 'Classical pianists' to all of the articles I've edited :) You agree on replacing e.g. 'Russian musicians' with 'Russian pianists' though, right? --Missmarple 07:47, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely! :-) I'll join in on the work you're doing. Keep it up. — Pladask 21:23, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it's me again. I was looking through the Pekinel sisters article and I noticed that all the countries they've had concerts in are linked. That's quite a lot of links which are not completely relevant to the article. I mean, when I click on 'What links here' on the, for example, Italy page, I'm probably not looking for the Pekinel sisters, right? What's your opinion on that? --Missmarple 07:37, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If everyone were to think like that before adding a link, I don't think there would be a lot of them left. The more, the better (usually, and to a certain degree), IMO. It's the myriad of links that ties Wikipedia together and is the beauty of it. :-) — Pladask 13:46, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

In future, you can nominate category renamings like this at

"Category:Mozart symphonies - The contents have been moved to Category:Symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to match the naming scheme." - there was some talk on CSD whether this should be a speedy deletion criterion. Since a proposal for expanding speedy criteria is likely going to happen soon, I'd like to have your feedback on wording one for cases such as this. Yours, Radiant_>|< 07:38, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Pladask! Thanks for the note. Unfortunately I don't have a full biography of Horowitz, and I haven't read one either. I was using the online Grove article ([1], but it requires a subscription) which is fairly detailed; in addition to the birthplace issue, it explains the birthdate issue, which is already handled correctly in the Wiki article.

Hello, Pladask! Since I remember you edited quite a few articles on classical pianists (even before I came here :)) I would like you to look at this: Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 February 11. I do think the 'Classical pianists' category works just perfect right now and would like to keep it as it is. Vote (or not :P)! --Missmarple 10:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am from the french-speaking WikiPedia (and I can't speak english very well, sorry). I saw your photo in the Evgeny Kissin article, and I take it and put it in the french-speaking WikiPedia. But over there, someone ask me for the tag (copyright, copyleft, etc.). I answer him that I took it in the english-speaking WikiPedia, I took the tag you put ({{promophoto}}), and put it in the picture.

There is an URL in your tag where it is said :

Photos may not be used for advertising or other purposes without the written permission of the SFS

So, have you it ? Have you the written permission of the SFS So to take this photo ?

Thank you, bye.

Hello. This image has a source ([2]), but it isn't working, so I can't verify it. Do you have an additional source? / Fred-Chess 10:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me understand what's going on here? Did you mean to start an article stub or something? -- nae'blis 17:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember, and that URL just gives me the regular "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for The Happy Widow in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings.". Can you give me something more? — Pladask 00:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, hehe. Now I remember. I meant to redirect it to The Merry Widow. I can see why it must have looked weird. :-) — Pladask 00:18, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, yeah that makes more sense. -- nae'blis 03:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Pladask, I saw you started Fundamentals of Piano Practice a couple of years ago and it was deleted, do you have any saved archives of the entry by coincidence?

Either case, I presume this is about Chuan C. Chang's concept; he's started a renewed website and all - I sincerely think we can give this an interesting NPOV article because, for what it's worth, if there is any purpose behind Chang's book, it is not commercial, regardless of what the other votes claimed mirroring on the article. Furthermore, the entry might become a kind of survey on the website, which is constantly evolving.

Do you think it's possible?
thedarkestclear ^Talk 09:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thanks a lot for noticing this! I was very disappointed when I saw the article was deleted in IMHO a very rushed and ignorant fashion. No one even answered my attempts to

defend the entry. Anyway, the answer to your question is yes! I saved a copy in my user namespace when I saw it was nominated for deletion. It's not much of an article yet, but I'd love to see a new article grow without being voted down again. I'm re-adding a stripped version of the entry at Fundamentals of Piano Practice right now. Hopefully you will make some additions/improvements and help me defend it against deletion if so should happen. :-) — Pladask 14:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply

]

No problem, count me in to make improvements. What we'll do, in principio, is make sure that the practice is considered a very a priori alternative method collection instead of a discipline that considers itself better than the rest. Chang's position is more stable than one might think because he's a prolific and controversial science authority and wrote all his findings through looking and searching. That's an aspect we have to show the readers.
thedarkestclear ^Talk 09:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Pladask, as of April 30 2007 we're in the shit with the article, some admin deleted it again. I suggest we focus on the actual principles and not what they are against, I don't know what them guys consider so advertising (I don't see nobody deleting the Google article, right). I can use some help.
thedarkestclear ^Talk 17:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. I am the "some admin" who deleted the page. Thedarkestclear left me a fairly rude message on my user page about the deletion, but I won't blame you for that. I deleted the article per policy. It was proposed for deletion by another editor and the proposal went unobjected for a week. As it was previously deleted per consensus in an old VfD, you will need to go through DRV to get the article back. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask. --Jeffrey O.

Rachmaninof Third Concerto

Hi. I've updated your edit to the above article. The legend goes that Rachmaninoff never played his Third Concerto again after hearing Horowitz play it. That performance, took place in Steinway's basement in 1928. The composer accompanied Horowitz on the second piano. I've never seen a reliable source that Rachmaninoff never played the work again in public (on the other hand, I've never seen a reliable source that refutes it), he certainly recorded it in 1939.THD3 (talk) 15:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is
