Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

About definite and indefinite article.

Hi, thanks for your note. I have to mention, though, that I believe you're setting up a false argument based on an importance that isn't there.

We're talking about the mere rendering of titles in an alphabetical list. Convention (which, frankly, has gone to hell recently) dictates that a lead article (and, I must have been tired last night to use "preposition") be relegated to follow-up duty in favor of the noun, verb, adjective, etc., immediately following.

The reason, if memory serves, is simple: over the years, so many songs (and other titles) begin with "The" that to peruse a list of them would be a huge challenge. That's it; whether an article is definite or indefinite is really irrelevant.

Write with any comments. :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit: I should note that I'm in agreement when it comes to preserving an artist's integrity, when demonstrable. To a lead article, however, I believe you ascribe importance via a generalization that could arguably dilute an individual's preferences when applied to the whole. RadioKirk talk to me 20:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Despite the excuse I have just made on the rock instrumentals' page, I decided to give you a brief answer right now. I appreciate your struggle in avoiding "sentimentalism" towards small passable things like the leading articles I appear so strongly attached to. Maybe my earlier post (while not a whole day has passed since then) is a little too long and that is because I wanted to justify my point of view by limpid arguments. Not knowing which one you would feel resonant with, I've written them all down.

I was a little thwarted when I've read your comment. Skipping the leading article just because it has a lot of instances in music is not a criterion for songs, but for bands' names. That is why I insisted so much about it last time. A leading definite article has been habitually added for a decade or two (in the rock'n'roll era); eventually, bands started dropping it and a procedure like the one you told me about was needed. I'll stress this once again: it is steered in behalf of band names and not songs. The leading article is a much more specific matter when it comes to songs' titles. It is in so strong a degree that I am still bothering you with it at ten to two a.m. And this ain't sentimentalism. I am only trying to be as correct and precise as you yourself do. Now I'm tired!

P.S. I still haven't understood one thing in your note. Did you happen to say you would tolerate my edits, but without agreeing with my point of view? Impy4ever 22:58, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

In my 40-plus years on this rock (grin), I saw it used for songs long before I saw it used for bands; again, because so many songs began with "The" or "A" that it was deemed convention to tail with the article for purposes of alphabetization (and this was long before electronic databases became the norm). And, yes, essentially, we'll agree to disagree; I did not ever intend to revert you (except to realphabetize "The Message"). RadioKirk talk to me 23:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Giazotto

Hello! Now I haven't internet at home, so now I wasn't ready to answer on your question. Later I can to send you an information about the sources. But please, see the german version - thay wrote, that Staatsbibliothek in Dresden confirm, that they never had any composition of such type composed by Albinoni, and that Giazotto composed the Adagio completly by himself - so, any 6 first bars are original... I was confused, but it seems be true. What are you thinking about this?? Best regards, Gerea-en 19:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Despre Cum mi-am petrecut sfarsitul lumii

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Innuendo andalusian.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Innuendo andalusian.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:26, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Giazotto, Vitali etc.

Yes, you have reason. Also the hoax is Ave Maria by "Caccini", "Pieta Signore" by Stradella and a lot of other "Italian (and not only) Baroque" pieces. See here: [1] (but of course this list is not full). Best regards from Poland;-) Gerea-en 13:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Andalusian cadence

I don't know too much about music theory, so I was wondering if you could answer a question since you did a lot of work on the Andalusian cadence article. I'm working on a song article where the song's in A minor and it uses a chord progression that goes A minor, G minor, F major, E major. Would this be considered an Andalusian cadence or variation thereof? 17Drew 03:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Invocatie andalusian.ogg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Invocatie andalusian.ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:20, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Florin Stoian

A tag has been placed on Florin Stoian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. macbookair3140 (talk) 23:18, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Andalusian

I see you are still watching this page. Please therefore excuse my editing without notification. The article is perhaps the most scholarly of any wiki page on a chord progression but is therefore quite technical and, while your English is good, it can benefit from clarification in such a case. There is some material that is already covered elsewhere. Please note that a citation is required for statements concerning modality and advances in music theory - the sequence can be understood as conforming to the melodic minor scale.Thanks for your understanding and best wishes.

Re your tags: I wonder could you possibly tag/ highlight the "weasel words"? And how many more than the current 11 references should we expect an article of this length to have? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

2008 contribution to the article on Vitali's Chaconne

Hello Impy4ever. On 2 November 2008 at 22:38 you included the statement that modulations only became "typical" with the advent of Romanticism. You write "change of key signature" but "modulation" must be what you mean, since "change of key signature" (or more exactly "clef signature") strictly speaking is simply a pragmatic musically immaterial choice as to how to write in a modulation, which can be written either like that or with the accidentals spelled out in the staff, whichever is more convenient in any individual case for the writer and/or the users of the score.

Now where on earth did you get that idea? Long before Romanticism, just to mention one important and well known counterexample to your statement, numerous musical forms had modulation (very often to their 5th for major keys or to their relative major for minor keys) in their very definition, let alone in their implementation in specific musical works. The number of modulations of the Chaconne (from g minor to e-flat minor and back) might be unusual for its period, but you certainly can't say that modulation, in and of itself, is "untypical" of music before Romanticism. I'll get rid of this inaccurate statement. Ok? Basemetal00 (talk) 20:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
