Nice to see that one created! Good job.--Milowent • talkblp-r 02:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
On 10 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Robert Stoepel, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 1859 symphonic work Hiawatha composed by Robert Stoepel (pictured) is based on Longfellow's epic poem The Song of Hiawatha? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

On 11 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Le dernier sorcier, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that, in 1869, Johannes Brahms conducted the chamber opera Le dernier sorcier (The Last Sorcerer), composed by Pauline Viardot to a French libretto by Ivan Turgenev?

You found the opera! I had come across a vague mentions of it, but not enough to bring it into the article. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 17:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
As I noted on the project talk page, I also disagree with the proliferation of categories. What can we do with the four existing categories that I listed, and that Aristophanes was beginning to populate? All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I see you added a photo of an "unmarked grave" that you photographed yourself. Can you explain, on the image page, how you know it is his grave? Usually, photos of graves show the grave itself saying who is buried there, but in this case, I think we need more for verifiability. Thanks for any help! -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I was about to look at Johann Friedrich Agricola and then I saw you have put the MT banner on it. I'm wondering whether it would be better to leave all the composers with the Composers Project and concentrate on 'doable' theory articles? I think this would make our task much easier. What do you think? Best. --Kleinzach 00:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I see you have been putting Music theory banners on categories. Is there a special reason for this? Normally we only put banners on articles. Thanks. --Kleinzach 01:54, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for providing the additional information. I always wondered who he really was! Hohenloh + 11:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
I started a new article for this. If you have a chance, see if you can add anything. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:05, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
You wrote: "NYPLPA has a Technology Training Room consisting of 12 desktop computers and a projected screen." Urk? Why can't we have the editathon (or part of it) in there (i.e., the people who do not have their own laptops? That sounds exactly like what I was looking for. Are there other classes scheduled that day? -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:02, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Here's the reference generator we talked about today: [reference generator].
Do you want to give me more details about this? I don't know anything about what you just posted. — Devin.chaloux (chat) 13:14, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
1. Gershwin template: I don't think this should be included in Gershwin's template. In those days, interpolated lots of new songs periodically through their runs, as well as in new productions, sometimes from multiple composers. I imagine that Gershwin supplied songs to lots of shows, but listing them would make his template LESS useful rather than more. It would be better to have a list article listing all of Gershwin's songs.
2. Good Morning, Judge. It appears to have been essentially the same show as "The Boy", with rather minor changes. So, I wouldn't give it its own article - I would just give it its own paragraph (or maybe even a section) in the "The Boy" article with a little more info, and a redirect. Unfortunately, I ran out of time at the library to get more info on this, and I don't intend to return to the subject, since the show only ran 140 performances, whereas "The Boy" ran over 800 performances in London. I consider this to be simply the Broadway production of "The Boy". But, I have no objection to your giving it its own article if you feel inspired to do so. BTW, the library has reviews and other clippings for Good Morning, Judge, but I ran out of time before I had a chance to review them. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:18, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
Just wanted to tell you the new article looks great - a fantastic start and certainly a launching pad for expansion! — Devin.chaloux (chat) 00:25, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Awarded for your work expanding and referencing the BLP-embattled biography of Derek Goldby at short notice. Much appreciated. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 11:14, 1 November 2011 (UTC) |
We're in a bit of a pickle in the Wagner discussion page. The issues concerns Social class (sociology) and the phrase supposedly common Germanic past and has now been dismissed by some editors as inconsequential. Furthermore, the name Other interpretations in the article dismisses the general review and broader Wagner analysis to a subcategory under Controversies (mainly the topic of anti-Semitism). Please help. Just take fast look and maybe help in the balancing act. Thank you
On 15 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Lynne Carter, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Lynne Carter was the first female impersonator to perform at Carnegie Hall? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lynne Carter. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

You have a reply. --Jeremyb (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Kosboot. Long time no see!! I am copying this message to you from the Musicals project talk page. We need MORE reliable sources, not fewer:

Happy New Year, Kosboot! I don't think I mentioned, previously, how much I enjoyed your playing at the last Sunday Group. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:51, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
