The article Franz Schubert you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Franz Schubert for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 20:41, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the automated bot message, please allow me to add my personal congratulations. An excellent overhaul and now an excellent article. Tim riley talk 20:42, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tim, thank you so much again for your detailed review and for your time! I am very happy to hear that the article is now a GA. Now on to FA... :-) —Zingarese (talk) 21:06, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations from me too, a bystander who enjoyed the procedings! Schubert could now appear in the DYK section of the Main page. Do you have a preference for one line about him? Compare Pierre Boulez. - Tim, may I ask you in this quiet corner if you have any information about the Katie Clarke who appeared with Boulez 8 times, and that is about all we know about her, + that she joined the ENO in 1975 and appeared as different valkyrie there in 1976. Opera Scotland claims that she sang Brünnhilde "on the continent", but I doubt it, seems more likely that she sang "Brünnhild'" as part of her Schwertleite text. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ps: The last DYK I recall mentioning Schubert was for Cathinka Buchwieser, - see the pic by his friend showing him in danger from two nude women (related to poetry, of course) ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you so much! Love the picture :-) Did you want to help nominate him for DYK? It's about time he makes it to the Main Page again! I think "...despite a lifespan of just 31 years, Franz Schubert composed over 1,500 works?" is a good hook, or maybe "...that Franz Schubert was a torchbearer at Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral?" Zingarese (talk) 22:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good ideas. We had his 700 songs already (with

Pierre Boulez Hall, - delightful. Bedtime for me, and yes, I can nominate for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply

Wow, that must have been a unforgettable experience to hear those works in that hall! I assume Barenboim was conducting? He also performed the completed Schubert sonatas in the Boulez Saal recently. Zingarese (talk) 22:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he was conducting, and they turn the performers 180° during intermission, so every listener gets two views. He seemed to enjoy it all as we did! -

Beethoven piano quartets: can you positively add that detail (... published as a piano quartet ...) to the article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

That is sensational - there needs to be more halls like that around the globe :-) - and no problem, I just added that information into the article! Zingarese (talk) 16:05, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On 5 July 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Daniil Trifonov discography, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the discography of pianist Daniil Trifonov includes one Grammy Award-winning album and two Grammy-nominated albums? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Daniil Trifonov discography. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Daniil Trifonov discography), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Thank you for quality articles beginning with Yekwon Sunwoo, for Daniil Trifonov discography, for your expansion of Franz Schubert, Lion's Choice and Piano Sonata No. 2 (Chopin), for adding the "vital article" tags and fighting vandalsim, with precise messages, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:43, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gerda, Thank you so much! It means a lot, especially coming from you :-) Zingarese (talk) 16:49, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you ;) - I went ahead and nominated Schubert, - I missed the deadline for too many to risk it for him. Feel free to add ALT1 to ALTn ;) - but remember that too many options are stressful for the reviewer. - Language question (warning: OR): to my knowledge, Schwamm is German (meaning both a certain family of mushroom and a sponge), never heard that in Austria, only Schwammerln (plural, you rarely have only one). Great new image on you user page! I just received news that a friend died, a bass in one of my choirs and on its board, - I take anything uplifting with pleasure. We sang The Company of Heaven next to each other, here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry for your loss.😰😰 My deepest sympathies go out to you and everyone whose lives were impacted by your late friend - a good soul has certainly ascended to heaven.

Thank you so much for the nomination - I really like the current hook as it is, so won’t add any more. Regarding Schwamm - it’s certainly supposed to refer the German language - will fix now. :-) Zingarese (talk) 20:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not just what I think, its common knowledge in the gaming community. Did you bother to look around online? plenty of reliable sources that state its a poor port... IGN, GameSpot, and PCGamer are just a few. They also "lost" the source code, just so the game can never be updated by anyone, including the mod community.

It is your responsibility to provide a credible citation to your claim published along with the claim.

I assume this is some kind of "rule", if so, is there not one that states before reverting an edit, you should check if the information is true? I cant find editing rules anywhere, perhaps you'd like to point me in the right direction? Funny how you're talking about providing information with reliable sources but at the same time aren't providing any sources. FieldEffect (talk) 02:32, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

XYZtSpace is absolutely correct - the burden on providing reliable sources to new content is on the person who introduced the content. Gamespot and IGN are only reliable if the content is staff-written. Refer to

neutral point of view policy and to accurately reflect the source. In any case, I was more concerned about this edit , which was pure vandalism and the main reason I reverted the edits. Hope this helps; please let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance. Zingarese (talk) 03:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

Why do you allow people to cast themselves in a false good light, when there are verifiable questions about their character with references?

You allowed comments in the FreedomWorks page about criticisms from astroturfing, citing a news/opinion piece,

I thought wikipedia was supposed to be informative and complete, not a PR shill for conservatives.

@Lucybut: The primary reason I reverted your edit is because it appeared to add content that was a copy and paste of the entire text of the article. However, in regards to the information you introduced, your references do not provide any information (such as a link) that would help readers identify the source/origin of the content. Please see Help:Referencing for beginners for more information on how to properly cite a source, and let me know if you have any questions. Zingarese talk · contribs 00:45, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand what you are conveying in terms of reliable source, thanks for correcting me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnybrook (talk • contribs) 03:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reversal was indeed a mistake on your part. Much of what you see on the page was added by myself (as the primary caretaker of the page for well over a year), and most of what I edited was merely paring down and fixing minor grammar/formatting issues in my own contributions to the page. The only part that I removed that was another user's recent contribution was because it contributed nothing new and made the sentence in question grammatically incorrect. To this end, many of my recent edits were given as "Minor Edits", a categorization I believe is justified, and one I see little reason for explaining as it clutters up the edit history (particularly seeing as how every change can be seen in the version comparison). I try to give reasons for my major edits most of the time, but again, I am of the opinion that most Minor Edits do not warrant a full blown explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Digital inf3rno (talk • contribs) 06:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@

WP:FIES: “Edits that do not have an edit summary are more likely to be reverted, because it may not be obvious what the purpose of the edit was.” When I came across your removal of content without a summary, I decided to revert it as unexplained content removal. (My intention was to just undo that edit alone, so that is my mistake.) Let me know if you have further questions. Regards, Zingarese talk · contribs 16:23, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply
