{{helpme}} I am not sure how to get a rating from the project's quality scale for Borodin Scherzo page, please could you advise me on how to do it. --Etincelles (talk) 20:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much for explaining that to me, I would be very grateful if you could assess the page. Thanks Again --Etincelles (talk) 20:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey there. I made a post over at Pianoplonkers about something you might also be interested in. See this: User_talk:Pianoplonkers#Hey.21. Kind regards and keep up the great work.Calaka (talk) 13:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello Etincelles. I hope that you manage to create the page for Medtner's Fairy Tale in A major, Op. 51 No. 3; it would be very interesting--Egemont (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Looks good --Pianoplonkers (talk) 06:19, 20 September 2009 (U
Hello Etincelles. Glad to see we now have a user box for Task Force Romantic Music. I was just wandering, could you possibly have a look at my Sandbox and the piece I have written inside it, and then tell me what you think? It would be jolly useful to get some feedback on it. Thanks.Egemont (talk) 14:32, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Etinclles. Please ignore the sandbox-check mentioned in the above message, and instead go directly to Three German Dances (Mozart), and tell me what you think. Thanks.--Egemont (talk) 19:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Look at my userboxes. Cool, eh.
Please do not edit my page. You have loads of elements from my page and should allow me to be inspired by your page. I have removed it now because it didn't fit. But don't edit it again.--Pianoplonkers (talk) 17:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, look at my czardas page! Currently working on more.--Pianoplonkers (talk) 15:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
In your wikitaskforces section you have written me and pianoplonkers. Egemont will go mad at you!!! Correct it before he sees
--Pianoplonkers (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
I also have a talk page to communicate between Egmont, Etincelles and Pianoplonkers. Please visit it here.--Pianoplonkers (talk) 06:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Look at my userpage. Is it cool?--Pianoplonkers (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Very Cool.--Etincelles (talk) 19:59, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Don't do it if you don't want to but I found out that external links go below references. See Wikipedia:Layout for more info--Pianoplonkers (talk) 09:59, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Pianoplonkers and I have created a new page called Ritual Fire Dance (de Falla). Hope you like it!--Egemont (talk) 14:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Ritual Fire Dance (de Falla) has been suggested to be merged with El amor brujo (Discuss the merging here). Please help to support the fact that it shouldn't be merged. Thanks--Pianoplonkers (talk) 22:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Thankyou very much for adding that recording and image to Ritual Fire Dance (de Falla). Pianoplonkers and I forgot to add a piano recording, despite the fact that they are often played the most, so its good to see that there now is one! Thanks.--Egemont (talk) 10:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
It's My Pleasure. --Etincelles (talk) 13:45, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, please read my comments on the talk page of this article. If you need further guidance, I suggest you have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Copyright guidelines. Many editors are at first unaware of the strict policies on Wikipedia concerning copyright infringement. But you really need to take this on board. If you've done something similar in other articles you've contributed to, you need to address this quickly. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 22:31, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
I have tried to change the text as much as possible. I hope we can come to some sort of an agreement. --Etincelles (talk) 08:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Glad to see you've created a page for the Carmen Variations. I'm a big Horowitz fan myself.THD3 (talk) 15:50, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.--Etincelles (talk) 16:57, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
I think there's a photo of Horowitz taken at the time of The Last Romantic somewhere on Wikimedia commons, that might go at the head of this article. It was at the head of the Horowitz article until about a year ago, when it was replaced with another photo.THD3 (talk) 18:39, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
I've uploaded a screenshot taken from the film now, but thanks anyway.--Etincelles ♬♬(talk) 20:17, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
I've added a note about The Last Romantic to the Horowitz article. I've also made a slight change to The Last Romantic, specifying that VH's home was a townhouse. This is because I've read so many reviews describing The Last Romantic being filmed in VH's "apartment", which it definitely was not!THD3 (talk) 15:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Etincelles, wanted to drop you a note reminding you to place the {{nocontent-warn}}

Thanks a lot, and congratulations on becoming a rollbacker, you deserve it. Etincelles ♬♬(talk) 19:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello Etincelles, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 16:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I've been writing a long analysis of the recordings of Vladimir Horowitz, was looking on Wikipedia for a reference to Arthur Loesser, and was shocked to find there was no article on the latter. (Horowitz knew both Arthur and his brother, Frank Loesser). Long story short, I have created a stub class article on Loesser and I invite you to contribute if you have the time/inclination.THD3 (talk) 18:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Etincelles,
To satisfy copyright use, it is not enough to direct to the source, Allmusic or the Vancouver Chopin Society, you must put the copyrighted text between parentheses and, in the footnote, give the name of the author with house of publication or website. Also, replacing a word here & there within a copyrighted text is not satisfactory either. It is still "copying".
Regards, Frania W. (talk) 17:37, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Etincelles: following is what you wrote on my talk page RE Mazurkas Op. 33 (Chopin):
I have re-written the article and have tried to avoid copyright issues, please take a look and see if the tag could be removed. Thanks. Etincelles (talk) 12:14, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Etincelles, in my opinion, there is still a strong flavor of both Allmusic & the Vancouver Chopin Society in your text, as if you're playing with the words, either finding synonyms or moving them around in the text.
Mazurka in G-sharp minor, Op. 33, No. 1
All music: The first, marked Lento, has a lyrical, expressive melody line over a waltz pattern in the bass. The mood shifts effortlessly between mournful and hopeful, with a cherished and delicate intimacy.
VCS: A plaintive mazurka, less complex than many of the others. One of its themes is marked "appassionato," the only use of that marking in all of the mazurkas.
Your text: Mazurka in G-sharp minor, Op. 33, No. 1, the opening mazurka of the set, has a tempo marking of Lento. This mazurka has an emotional melody, accompanied in the left hand with a waltz pattern. The mood changes many times throughout the piece, and to good effect. This intimate piece is occasionally considered less complicated than many of Chopin's other mazurkas.[1][2]
Mazurka in D major, Op. 33, No. 2
Allmusic: The second Mazurka is a true Oberek, impetuous, fast, and with strong, irregular accents. The mood is joyous, with playful, comic tremolo figures. The coda is free and full of flurries.
VCS: A delightful specimen; bright, cheerful, and popular. Mazurka in D major, Op. 33, No. 2, the second of the set is one of the most popular mazurkas. It has a fast tempo and strong irregular accents.
Your text: Mazurka in D major, Op. 33, No. 2, the second of the set is one of the most popular mazurkas. It has a fast tempo and strong irregular accents.
The piece begins with the happy and joyful main theme, decorated with ornaments. After a second theme is introduced, the main theme is repeated for a second time. The mazurka concludes with a separate coda section that introduces a new theme.
An average performance of this mazurka lasts around 3 minutes.[1][2]
Mazurka in C major, Op. 33, No. 3
Allmusic: The third piece of the collection, marked Semplice, is truly a simple and innocent approach to the genre. The sweet, tender melodic line is supported by subtly accented second beats, keeping the flavor of the dance.
VCS: A heartfelt little piece demanding that unique Chopinesque rubato, which was so new, fragrant, and wayward in Chopin's own playing. Chopin was furious with Meyerbeer when the opera composer accused him of playing this piece in 4/4 instead of 3/4 time.
Your text: Mazurka in C major, Op. 33, No. 3, the third piece of the collection, has an expression marking of Semplice. This miniature is simple and warm, showing a different approach to the mazurka genre. Slightly accented second beats are used to keep the mazurka characteristics.[1][2]
Mazurka in B minor, Op. 33, No. 4
Allmusic: The final Mazurka adds rhythmic interest to the set, with the grace notes and trills bringing a rustic, native feel. The piece is written in rondo form, with several different characters appearing in the episodes between the recurring original theme.
VCS: Among the longest of the mazurkas, it was once a popular favorite. In dull hands the work can sound repetitious, as the first theme returns eight times. Schumann wrote of the Op. 33 set that Chopin's "forms seem to grow ever brighter and lighter."
Your text: Mazurka in B minor, Op. 33, No. 4, the final mazurka of the set, is one of the longest mazurkas at nearly 5 minutes, it was once a favourite of audiences. The piece is written in rondo form. The piece begins with a captivating main melody, decorated with grace notes and trills. This melody is repeated a total of eight times throughout the piece, between it different melodies appear but the main melody always returns.[1][2]

You may have removed (a phrase here & there) of copyrighted text, however, your text has now a strong flavor of plagiarism. Please read definition of plagiarism taken from wiki article Plagiarism:

Greetings. I have nominated the above page for deletion. I welcome your input at the articles for deletion page.THD3 (talk) 17:59, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Just to point out, you are making the first sentence of yours and others' pages be in bold and italics. I have found a guide to show how this should be done ie. only in bold. Here it is: Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#First sentence format. Thanks--Pianoplonkers♫(talk) 10:30, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes but this is the piece title so it should be in italics. - Etincelles (talk) 10:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Etincelles. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Vampiresandwerewolfs all you need to know about them and more, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Context is clear. Speedy doesn't apply, I will PROD and watch. Thank you. GedUK 11:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Several categories related to music competition winners are being targetted by a user, and I think it would be useful that you give your opinion regarding the neccesity of these categories and maybe later help proposing changes to the present guidelines (music awards and prizes). The categories proposed for deletion are #Category:Prize-winners of the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, #category:Prize-winners of the Paloma O'Shea Piano Competition, #Category:Operalia, #Category:Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition and #Category:Prize-winners of the Besançon Conducting Competition. Cheers.--Karljoos (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I would recommend replacing your monobook script with this as it stops twinkle adding pages to your watchlist!

PS. although it is a user edit, I cannot edit this page.

Thank you for the barnstar. I see you've created the Vladimir_Horowitz_discography article. I'm ready to assist as time permits. As it happens, I have his complete authorized discography as well as some rare items, and am preparing a book of essays on Horowitz including my own reviews. If you need any help with recording dates, catalogue numbers, etc., let me know. I recently replaced many of my reissues with the complete Original Jacket collection boxed set, but I have yet to sell my old copies, so I can get this info for you.THD3 (talk) 21:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
You deserve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it has been very difficult to find release dates and I am concerned about the accuracy of them. As I only have a few Horowitz CD's I cannot find the accurate information.
P.S. If you cannot find a buyer for your CD's I would be interested. Etincelles (talk) 21:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
May we continue this discussion off wiki? THD3 (talk) 21:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes, of course. Etincelles (talk) 21:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Making great progress on the page. You are the man! Do you think we should include catalog numbers? I also see you have added the videography section. Have you seen the terrible 1983 Tokyo recital? It was released on a system called VHD, but never on VHS, LD, or DVD.THD3 (talk) 18:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it's coming along nicely. Thanks for all your help, you have really improved the article. I have never seen the recital you speak of, was it from the time that Wanda refused to tour with VH. Etincelles (talk) 19:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
I got your message. Explanatory text is a good idea. I will send you the files when I have email access. Cheers!THD3 (talk) 17:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Did I send you an alternate cover for Horowitz at the Met? The cover currently on the page is not from the original CD, it's from the 1999 HP reissue.THD3 (talk) 18:33, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
On that picture of Horowitz standing near a staircase, it was taken in late 1930 when he arrived for a tour in the United States. I don't have a source for this, but it is part of a series of three photos which were taken aboard ship as he arrived.THD3 (talk) 21:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
I have added a little bit about Horowitz unavailable videos. I have put them in the videos section above the table, but if you want to move it to the overview that's OK with me.THD3 (talk) 19:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
I see that you changed the sentence about the Last Recording to read that it "consisted of a repertoire..." - I've never seen it written this way, nor heard it this way. I know this was done per the featured list discussion, but I think it's plain wrong.THD3 (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Dear Etincelles,
I was wondering if you could answer my question. Friend of mine would like to use a wikipedia logo for his professional web site. Do you think there is any way to get a permission to use it or any other way such as direct link you could recommend? Thanks!--Jeunesbarbara (talk) 07:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Etincelles, I'm very sorry but album covers used in discographies as you are wanting to do are not permissible under our policies and guidelines on the use of fair use images on Wikipedia. Whether it's fair use or not isn't really the point. Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on this issue are more restrictive than the law permits. I refer you specifically to the very first point at Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images_2, which says that "An album cover as part of a discography" is an unacceptable use of a non-free image. If you look at Category:Classical music discographies, you will note that not a single article within that category contains a non-free image, with the exception of one article, The Complete Mozart Edition, which is a single edition piece and not a discography in reality. There was one other, Stellenbosch University Choir discography, that had two non-free images on it both of which had been recently added by an inexperienced editor (less than 150 edits). I've corrected that error.
Please understand, the really is no wiggle room on this. I'm going to revert your re-addition of the album covers, and also tag all of the album cover images as orphaned. Per WP:NFCC, all non-free images must be in use on at least one article in order for them to remain on Wikipedia. Tagging these images as orphaned allows a seven day period in which the images might find some other home on Wikipedia, and is not cause for immediate speedy deletion.
If you think this is somehow in error, or believe that Vladimir Horowitz discography deserves some special exception from this policy, please take the matter up at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. Please, do not re-instate the images without gaining input from Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. If you have questions, ask. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I have nominated Vladimir Horowitz - The Complete Original Jacket Collection, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vladimir Horowitz - The Complete Original Jacket Collection.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Karljoos (talk) 09:48, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I've done all I can on this page for the moment. I have also created a page for the Original Jacket Collection. This is arguably the most important series Sony/BMG has embarked on in the last decade, so I thought it deserved an article.THD3 (talk) 19:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
