I realize your edits are in good faith, but this new category looks completely redundant. We already have Category:Compositions for trumpet. DavidRF (talk) 03:18, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Compositions for trumpet is totally useless, and looks completely abandoned, with only 3 entries in it. There are repertoire categories established for Piano Trio, Euphonium, Organ and other instruments. I'm just following those protocols and trying to provide a better resource for trumpeters. Thanks
It contains the subcategory Category:Trumpet concertos. Isn't it assumed that a trumpet concerto is in the trumpet repertoire? I think a better solution is to add Category:Compositions for trumpet to more articles instead of creating a category that means exactly the same thing. DavidRF (talk) 03:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your category should be renamed Category:Trumpet repertoire, which actually already exists. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 03:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the feedback, but there wasn't anything in 'Trumpet repertoire'. I'm just following the pre-existing naming convention for other repertoire categories. That's the most reasonable way to proceed.

I'm unfamiliar with any other "repertoire" categories. We can create an article. You tried that earlier this evening, but it got deleted because it stayed empty too long. I'll take the text from the top of your category and put it in an article.DavidRF (talk) 03:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just search 'repertoire' and you'll see the protocols that have already been established for Piano trio, Organ and Euphonium. All I'm doing is adding to the knowledge base, which is non-existent on the subject here. Trumpeters will really appreciate. Your rolling edits are hampering my efforts to centralize what little information there is on Wikipedia about trumpet repertoire.

You're also proceeding from a fundamental misunderstanding of the word 'repertoire'. Mahler 5 is not a 'composition for trumpet', it is a composition for orchestra. However, it contains such extended solo passages for the trumpet that it is an important part of our repertoire. You guys are sticking to a category that wasn't correct in the first place.

I appreciate the good faith edits here. There's just a few little organizational details that need to be hammered out or the admins will keep deleting your stuff. I'm all for creating a Trumpet repertoire article in the next day or two. For now, please place new information here: User:DavidRF/Sandbox. Thanks. DavidRF (talk) 03:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are no other categories by the name of <Instrument> repertoire. There are articles, but no categories. I went ahead and stubbed the article here, and recategorized them. Q T C 03:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't you guys 'the admins'? Again, 'compositions for trumpet' isn't the protocol that's used for other instruments on Wikipedia, and it's also inaccurate. Thanks for the sandbox. Trumpetrep (talk) 04:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are global admins who quickly delete articles that are empty. I'm just an editor that's familiar with how to get articles past the stub phase. I put a question on the talk page of the new stub here: Talk:Trumpet repertoire DavidRF (talk) 04:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have examples of this? I couldn't find a category for another instrument that was called "<Instrument> repertoire" but as can be seen here there is a large number of categories name "Compositions for <Instrument>". Q T C 04:16, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, according to the Music WikiProject their categorization structure can be seen Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music/Categories. It basically goes: Music>>Musical compositions>>Compositions by instrument>>Compositions for ... Q T C 04:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've went ahead and asked them for help regarding this issue. Q T C 04:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could you also ask here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music? This list is looking to be classical music centric. DavidRF (talk) 04:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I posted a note here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music. Those editors usually have some suggestions. For now, there's Trumpet repertoire (by composer) and User:DavidRF/Sandbox (by type). Not sure which format is preferred. Maybe we can keep both? DavidRF (talk) 05:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't both redundant? That seems a bit antithetical to the point of Wikipedia. The 'repertoire' naming convention that I've seen elsewhere is typically done in 'list' format. (see List_of_compositions_for_violin_and_orchestra), which is what your Trumpet repertoire page does. I'm happy to follow whatever convention is considered best by Wikipedia, but I'd just point out that DavidRF's sandbox follows the convention of the music world. Publishers list repertoire by category, and musicians (for whom this page is intended) look for things by category. It's of no use to us to look at an alphabetical list of hundreds of compositions, if we're looking for a duo. We want to laser right in on where the duo rep is, and ignore everything else. If the idea is to conform to industry standards in organizing information, the sandbox version is the most appropriate way.Trumpetrep (talk) 14:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References and sources

I see you've added a lot of new material to

point of view or opinion into articles - e.g., assessments of the importance of a piece or a player, or claims about what constitutes common practice are only valid in articles if they are from a published source. You're adding lots of information, but any editor would be completely within his rights to remove all of that material for the above reasons. Happy editing! - Special-T (talk) 23:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply
]

Yes, it's a fine line, right? Most of the information that is already present lacks citations. For instance, the 'Legende' entry contains the assertion that 'Legende now holds an important place in the trumpet repertoire and is considered one of the most beautiful pieces available in a somewhat limited modern repertoire'. All of that is pure opinion, in the technical sense. It's all conventional wisdom, as well, which requires no citation in academia.
All of what I've added has been well within the realm of conventional wisdom.Trumpetrep (talk) 00:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That article, and that sentence in particular, is an example of what shouldn't be here - unsourced claims laced with pure POV and opinion. Of course, lots of articles started out with editors just adding what they thought was true, but check the links in the Welcome message above and you'll see that just because there's some sub-par editing out there, we still need to stick to published, cited facts. - Special-T (talk) 11:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know what Wikipedia aspires to be, but again, take a look at any single page on here, and you will find that most of the verbiage is not sourced. I appreciate your intentions, though.Trumpetrep (talk) 00:20, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haggadah of Passover

You added the Haggadah to the category of musical allusions in Ulysses. I can only assume this was a mistake and reverted it, however if I was mistaken please let me know. The Haggadah is a text that is used to guide a Jewish ritual known as the

talk) 13:53, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply
]

Sort of. The Haggadah is incorporated into Ulysses as a musical allusion, particularly to the 'Chad Gadya'. The main character thinks of it as he watches a typesetter at work, which makes him think of a Jew and his 'hagadah book, reading backwards with his finger.' He then goes on to chant a few lines to himself, as part of his never ending interior monologue. He does the same thing with the Ordinary of the Mass, at the outset of the book.
However, what's been pointed out to me is that the use of the Category tag is incorrect on Wikipedia, as the Haggadah's not essentially an allusion in Joyce's novel. I find the distinction highly subjective, but I've learned not to argue with the folks who are invested enough in Wikipedia to make a fuss.

Thank you for your work on Logorama. I made a couple of changes to your edits in accordance with Wikipedia policy but please don't let that discourage you from continuing to improve the article! - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:47, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Split-tones, Rep, etc.

Greetings. I'm doing a little research for my quals on split-tone multiphonics. I've been searching for notated pieces that use them, but I haven't found many. Do you recommend anything?

Also, I have the score to that Isabel Mundry piece mentioned on the split tone page. I doesn't appear to me that there are any multiphonics of any type in that score, although the player is asked to crossfade between the bells of the double-bell trumpet. Do you know anything about that piece?

Please see the Talk page. I've addressed this already, and it doesn't appear that you are working towards a consensus on the issue. There needs to be a general bulking up of PW's commendable work on other topics.Trumpetrep (talk) 01:15, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP policy works. You either haven't read it or you're making this up as you go along. GraniteSand (talk) 01:17, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

Is any of the C&C section poorly sourced? No. Meanwhile, the "Career" section of his article is a bunch of bullet points from his bio. Please spend your time bulking up that section, rather than undoing edits which cite mainstream resources.Trumpetrep (talk) 01:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not even going to get into your use of primary sources or
WP:COATRACK. Let's not play this silly game where you set out to smear a guy you don't like and pretend you're just writing an article and I pretend that I think that you don't know what you're doing. GraniteSand (talk) 01:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

I made it very clear that the Career section was a joke before I even added the C&C section. Why don't you bulk that section up? I've been trying to do that myself, but you keep reverting the article. If you give me a few hours, I'd be happy to build up his Career section! The dude has done some really fantastic work!Trumpetrep (talk) 01:49, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you know that's not how it works. You don't create a bogus COATRACK, then say to others, "oh, well just balance it out". The form and function of the content you've added, esp in the External Links, make your motivations here transparent. You also don't "keep getting reverted". You edits are not compliant with

Prokofiev

Hi there,

You're right that one of the two links doesn't work. However, the other says:

‘To hell with this futurist music!’ people were heard to exclaim. ‘We came here for pleasure. The cats on the roof make better music!’

Did you read this part? The reference to cats sounds more than "hissing," doesn't it? Adam78 (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly did read it, Adam. But does someone saying "cats on the roof make better music" rise to the level of a "riot"? That's Grade A heckling, but it's not a riot.Trumpetrep (talk) 21:36, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for the answer. I'd be very sorry if this article were deleted, since—among other things—such articles (and their particular perspectives) make Wikipedia richer, broader and (last but not least) more enjoyable than a paper encyclopedia.

In fact, the category that you suggested does exist but its content cannot be provided with footnotes, so the insertion or the removal of an article will be more likely to lack reference (within articles). In addition, page changes are more difficult to track in categories than in articles (if an article is removed from a category without justification, it is rather difficult to restore). I would appreciate if you withdrew your proposal for deletion. Adam78 (talk) 21:54, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The footnotes that establish a "riot" (a dubious claim in most instances) took place should come in the article itself. If someone wants to look up the documentation behind the claim that a riot occurred, they can click through to the article and see for themselves. Now that you mention it, that's another big issue with the Classical Music Riots list. Often, the articles don't contain any information that a riot occurred.
This page has been a problem for a while now, and I've been posting regular questions on the Talk page about its viability as an article. I first raised the specter of deletion a year ago. No one has commented on that. So, I finally decided to nominate it for deletion, because no one seems to pay attention to the page unless they are adding another piece to the list, which rarely meets the vague and unencyclopedic criteria. If you check out the Talk page, you'll get a sense of the issues with this article and how they could be addressed to avoid deletion. As it is right now, the list is so short and the definition so unworkable, that it does not merit inclusion in Wikipedia.Trumpetrep (talk) 22:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If nothing else, then solely the most striking cases of music impacting on the world of art, this particular overlap between the domain of music and society, seems sufficient in itself to justify that the article should be retained. If there is music psychology, how would anyone question the most tangible instances of music sociology? Irrespective of the condition of the article (and a dozen examples are far from few), the topic itself lends significance to the article. Adam78 (talk) 23:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but much of what you are saying doesn't make sense. I can't quite follow what you are trying to say. A "dozen examples" don't count if more than half of them are B.S. Trumpetrep (talk) 01:32, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To tell the truth, even one single real incident ("riot") that actually happened (which certainly exists, to say the least) would be sufficient to show how music can influence society. And the fact is that there are more than one. You can arrange the other instances in whatever way you like, sort them by intensity or classify them as you like, but it doesn't affect the significance of the tangible overlap between music and society. Adam78 (talk) 19:08, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one is arguing that music doesn't have the potential to or hasn't influenced society. That's a totally separate issue from the "Classical Music Riots" article. Nothing on that page speaks to your concern. It doesn't serve that purpose. It's designed as a collection of information, which is already tenuous ground for Wikipedia. Close examination reveals that it is an error-plagued, indiscriminate collection of information, which is grounds for deletion.Trumpetrep (talk) 19:29, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fight Club/Mr Robot

Thanks, I'm not sure those all need to be there in the first place. It seems excessive, and eliminating duplicates is the least we should do!Trumpetrep (talk) 00:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog drive feedback

Hi, I was reviewing some of your contributions to the unreferenced articles backlog drive. Please note that in

WP:PRIMARY source, which I now tagged as such. Please only use reliable secondary sources as references. Would you mind quickly checking the articles you edited? If you used primary sources in other articles, it would be great if you could find higher quality sources. Thanks again for helping with the backlog! Broc (talk) 09:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Same for Fusion Fire. Interviews with the subject (or author, in this case) are primary sources as well. Only use with care ;) Broc (talk) 09:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
