It's good to see another person interested in 16th century Italian music. Indeed it's a rarity when someone adds substantive material to something on my watchlist (e.g. Antonino Barges -- that's one of several short articles I wrote after going through Einstein, which, coincidentally, I have open on the table at the moment for another article). Welcome aboard! Let me know if you need help finding your way around, general advice, or anything; there's a handful of people actively writing in the area of early music, and it's good to see another.

- Hi again! Yeah, I prefer to be anonymous on Wikipedia: being an administrator on the world's 7th-most popular-website has a certain downside. On the other hand, what you write here shoots right to the top of Google; I double- and triple-check things I write now, to make sure I'm getting it as right as I can.
- There's a whole bunch of minor madrigalists that still need to be written, and the whole Ferrara scene in the last few decades of the 16th century needs to be better covered. One of our best editors in the area, User:Makemi, is no longer particularly active. I've been compiling names from CMM, Einstein, and other places (many are on my User:Antandrus/To_do_list -- feel free to pillage that for redlinks if you'd like some ideas of articles to write!)
- As of responding, it is becoming more and more the norm to keep threads together all on the same talk page. Some people do it the other way though, so there's no real consistency.
- Let me know any time you have any questions ... I think you'll find it's pretty much fun here! Happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 02:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
