;Composers Project Assessment of Priaulx Rainier: 2009-11-23 This is an assessment of article Priaulx Rainier by a member of the Composers project, according to its assessment criteria. This review was done by Magicpiano. If an article is well-cited, the reviewer is assuming that the article reflects reasonably current scholarship, and deficiencies in the historical record that are documented in a particular area will be appropriately scored. If insufficient inline citations are present, the reviewer will assume that deficiencies in that area may be cured, and that area may be scored down. Adherence to overall Wikipedia standards (WP:MOS, WP:WIAGA, WP:WIAFA) are the reviewer's opinion, and are not a substitute for the Wikipedia's processes for awarding Good Article or Featured Article status. Origins/family background/studies Does the article reflect what is known about the composer's background and childhood? If s/he received musical training as a child, who from, is the experience and nature of the early teachers' influences described? Formative influences are lacking. =E_QJjO2rKvIC&lpg=PA1&pg=PA13#v=onepage&q=&f=false source Early career Does the article indicate when s/he started composing, discuss early style, success/failure? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? good but terse Mature career Does the article discuss his/her adult life and composition history? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed? good but terse List(s) of works Are lists of the composer's works in WP, linked from this article? If there are special catalogs (e.g. Köchel for Mozart, Hoboken for Haydn), are they used? If the composer has written more than 20-30 works, any exhaustive listing should be placed in a separate article. no separate works listing is given Critical appreciation Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)? ok Illustrations and sound clips Does the article contain images of its subject, birthplace, gravesite or other memorials, important residences, manuscript pages, museums, etc? Does it contain samples of the composer's work (as composer and/or performer, if appropriate)? (Note that since many 20th-century works are copyrighted, it may not be possible to acquire more than brief fair use samples of those works, but efforts should be made to do so.) If an article is of high enough quality, do its images and media comply with image use policy and non-free content policy? (Adherence to these is needed for Good Article or Featured Article consideration, and is apparently a common reason for nominations being quick-failed.) one image; no sound clips. References, sources and bibliography Does the article contain a suitable number of references? Does it contain sufficient inline citations? (For an article to pass Good Article nomination, every paragraph possibly excepting those in the lead, and every direct quotation, should have at least one footnote.) If appropriate, does it include Further Reading or Bibliography beyond the cited references? Article is fully cited, but at least one dedicated published biography is not. Structure and compliance with WP:MOS Does the article comply with Wikipedia style and layout guidelines, especially WP:MOS, WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, and possibly WP:SIZE? (Article length is not generally significant, although Featured Articles Candidates may be questioned for excessive length.) Article does not contain any significant section headings. It is long enough that it should have some. Lead contains items not otherwise elaborated in the body. Things that may be necessary to pass a Good Article review Article prose needs work (WP:MOS) Summary I find this article to contain a great deal that is interesting, but that is not particularly well presented; it reads a little bit like a laundry list of facts at times. I also had a sense that some things were missing. For example, there is discussion of friendships, but not of romantic interests. (I note that those sources I checked do not mention any.) And a brief check of the previewable portions of =E_QJjO2rKvIC&lpg=PA1&pg=PA13#v=onepage&q=&f=false her published biography, which is not used a source in this article, leads me to believe that more relevant detail about her life could be added here, which would give a sense of story. The article does not contain an explicit list of her works; it may be that all of them are named, but we have no way to know from the presentation here. I give the article a B rating, but it is fairly weak (especially because of the missing works list), as there is room to improve. Magic♪piano 03:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
