Eruption Commment[edit]

Most recent eruption should always be mentioned. It doesn't matter if it started last year. There are volcanoes, which started erupting some fifty years ago and erupt ever since but we still state the latest year of eruption, which is 2008 in this case. Details can always be mentioned in the article itself. -- Darwinek (talk) 00:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional astronauts[edit]

I have a hard time answering this one, since I've never read the book and I can only find brief descriptions of it. Based on what I know, I'd go ahead and put it in the Gemini section for the appropriate time period, but with a note about this not being a Gemini rocket. RandomCritic (talk) 13:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Welcome to Mars[edit]

Since, according to your description, it's about a teenage genius and his girlfriend operating (I assume) outside the boundaries of a space program, I am doubtful whether the protagonists can be called astronauts -- it sounds like it puts the book into a different sort of subgenre, the kind that deals with genius inventors like Hans Zarkov or Richard Seaton or Tom Swift, Jr..

Thanks by the way for a lot of very good and helpful additions to List of fictional astronauts! RandomCritic (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009[edit]

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Military space shuttle, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Law Lord (talk) 15:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about Saber[edit]

Is the spaceplane in question supposed to be orbit-capable? Is the mission experimental/exploratory, or is it routine? RandomCritic (talk) 16:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, according to this and this, The Adventures of Captain 'Space' Kingley is a 1951 publication. It looks to be in the same category as Dan Dare. RandomCritic (talk) 16:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BeethovenGate[edit]

Please don't interpret any deletions as personal attacks; they are simply attacks on words, which are welcome to be attacked back (so we get a good article) :)

As for the Melk cadenza, I didn't see that in the bit I deleted although I did notice it in the footnotes. Now, I don't think cadenzas written by various people are themselves notable, unless they have features of interest or are of historical importance. But if you think this cadenza is important then put it back in!

Tell you what, let's have a section/paragraph about cadenzas written for this work and we'll put that in too. OK? Then it will be useful for people looking for cadenzas for it.

Thanks for your contributionsPhilip Howard (talk) 14:43, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's good! I put in a lot of cadenzas that I found on the IMSP page for this work. I or you can add the others you mentioned, though I haven't seen those. Philip Howard (talk) 15:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, this edit is what I'm talking about. What you did is added an unnecessarily large white space in every single infobox, whereas before the image was centered.

Hi there! As part of an attempt to clear our backlog of article assessment requests over at WP:SPACEFLIGHT, I took a look at Explorer 33 as you requested. I believe it is currently start-class (and meets four of the six B-class criteria), largely due to the short length of the article. If you would like me to have another look at it once its expanded, drop me a line! :-) Colds7ream (talk) 11:16, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I noticed you did some tweaking to this article. Most of which were done to edits done by this editor.[1] There are two big problems with the article, which aren't your fault, but I am just bringing to your attention.

1- The edits by Fi11222 propose a theory for the crash that doesn't match the NTSB report.[2] If the NTSB didn't blame the pilots, why is wikipedia?

2- The edits are copied largely verbatim from here and without sourcing.[3]. Take for instance this paragraph-

However, it is clear that the captain and flight engineer's irresponsible actions were to blame. They were experimenting with the autothrottle system, which supplied the instruments that measure the rotational speed of each engine's low pressure compressor. The cockpit voice recording contains the following conversation just prior to the number 3 engine exploding:


See WP:Plagiarism. After discovering this I reverted the article basically back to what it was before Fi11222 did their edits.

Something I've learned to do when I see suspicious edits- Check the article's edit history, check who the editor was, and if they don't have a long background at WP, do a google search to see if the article was copied from elsewhere.- William 14:17, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

rubinstein Eroica[edit]

Just listening to this (for the first time) on YouTube, and it seems pretty awful, well-inclined as I am to Rubinstein. Apparently Rimsky-Korsakov described it as "either bad Beethoven or poorly-orchestrated Mendelssohn", and this seems fair enough to me. I haven't identified any thematic connections with Beethoven's 'Eroica'. Did not Rubinstein's title simply mean 'Heroic Fantasy', rather than 'Fantasy on the Eroica'. Best, --Smerus (talk) 14:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 1878[edit]

Hey there! It's getting there, but I don't think it's quite C-class yet. It's missing a lot, unfortunately. It only relies on three sources. The meteorological history could be longer, and there could be more info for different areas. If you need any help getting sources, let me know! Keep up the good work though. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • [4] - here is the official re-analysis info for the storm.
  • [5] - Virginia-specific info
  • [6] - Impact in Florida
  • [7] - Monthly Weather Review, check page 5 and 6

Mostly, it just seems that the meteorological history is a little short (compare with this), and the impact should be a little more comprehensive. Also, the impact appears to be missing sources. It's just a lot of one-liners. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:On The Beach66.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:On The Beach66.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 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.

Deception units[edit]

Thanks for your message Graham1973. Really I'm a bit at a loss; while saying during the discussion that you had a fix underway, which would result in a new article covering all the units in one, to avoid the pseudo-unit issue, you then went away and did other things. I checked your contributions before I rolled up the deception XXXV Corps again and you'd done nothing further. Really - what do you expect me to do?- you ask everyone to hold off doing anything because your new article was to cover it, do no more on the new article, and then attack people who attempt to resolve the issue in the absence of any action from you. Happy to talk about this but as I say I'm not sure what you think I should have done. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 05:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Information on Ice[edit]

Hi, Graham. I finally finished reading Ice by Shane Johnson, and the Apollo 20 CSM and LM are not named. Also, the reason only the commander is listed for Apollo 20 on List of fictional astronauts is that the other two crew members are historical astronauts (Slayton and Irwin). The Aitken Basin is referred to in the book by the fictional name "Marlow" as part of the book's alternate history. The fictional Bruce Cortney also served as CMP on Apollo 18 (alongside Haise and Gordon) in the back-story of Ice -- should that also be on the list? Gildir (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You added a page for this work (by another composer I've never heard of)... but I really suggest it would be better to add this into the composer's page. I think that unless it is likely to become an immensely popular work, or to be very greatly enlarged, the amount of content is simply not enough for an article. If this is one of those "unknown gems" then just add a section to the composer page (at a glance I sensed that most of what he wrote was not very significant).

I am not a WikiPro, so ignore/correct if you wish. I just added a composer, possibly even more obscure: Walter Schulthess if you are interested.

Two pieces for wind quintet (Ropartz)[edit]

Thanks for your message. Whilst I don't oppose the creation of articles for lesser-known musical works, and am all in favour of collaboration, I do think that it is bad practice to create stub articles and just hope that someone else will add the references for you. If the work is notable, it should be possible for you to find the references yourself and add them when you create the article. Deb (talk) 15:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I am very much in agreement with Deb here... of course the material is useful, but I do not think huge numbers of tiny pages (really not amounting to *articles*) are the most effective way to add this. In the case of an obscure composer, like Guy Ropartz, Thomas Täglichsbeck, or Walter Schulthess‎ (for example), it would be much more helpful to put the information directly into the list of compositions on the composer's page. After all, it's basically a list of movements, a composition date and a very short note. (Personally, I would just go to IMSLP to look at works.) I know there are musical works well worth a single article, but even away from the obscure: if you look at Brahms piano solo works... List_of_compositions_by_Johannes_Brahms_by_genre#Two_hands then surely one really good article on the "last piano works" (117, 118, and 119) would be better than rather scrappy articles at present. Imaginatorium (talk) 18:20, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think I agree with the others here. But first I want to ask: are they any performances? Are there any recordings? In general we cover in detail each work only for major works of clearly major creative people in any field, and in separate articles for all of their works usually only the ones who could by some stretch be called famous. Even by the extraordinarily broad criteria for popular musics we wouldn't have this article. Nobody is going to come here to look at this by title of the work--they would automatically and naturally look for the composer. DGG ( talk ) 05:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
DGG asked me about this. Per him and the others, I feel articles like this (especially for relatively minor composers, but even for major ones) shouldn't be started unless there is evidence of performance or recording and preferably published commentary on the composition. The above article doesn't even tell you what key it's in. Where you have only minimal information, it's much better to add it to the list of the composer's works. Some are in articles on the composer, others are free-standing with various degrees of complexity from the relatively simply laid out List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by opus number to the rather complex List of compositions by George Frideric Handel. It does a disservice to readers when they click on the link in the article on Ropartz, only to be taken to a sub-stub that tells them little more than what is already in the list, less in fact, because the list of compositions gives the composition date. I also tend to agree that it's bad practice to create an article if you're not willing to put in the minimal work to make it of service to the reader and expect other editors to do that work for you. Perhaps it would be worth opening a general discussion on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music to get more views. Mine may not be representative.

List of fictional astronauts[edit]

Graham -- Forgive me if this is inappropriate, but I've been feeling concerned and guilty lately that you haven't been editing the List of fictional astronauts article. I realize that you might simply be doing other things, but I'm afraid that the amount I've been adding to the article lately, and the length of my to-do list on the talk page, might be intimidating. (The nature of my job gives me a lot of time to read, so I've been reading lots of novels about spaceflight.) Your contributions to that page have been exceptionally valuable, and I wouldn't want to interfere with your work on it in any way. Once again, apologies if this was inappropriate or overstepping. All the best. :-) Gildir (talk) 20:14, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Violin Sonatas, KV. 55–60 (Attributed to Mozart), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Twelfth Mass[edit]

Yes, thanks, I saw the EL you added, and read it. Interesting.

Also the Grove 1907 article (linked from the sources section) was something I had added after I had created the stub based nearly exclusively on the Everist source.

The (content of) the Pajot source and the Grove 1907 source both merit more attention in the article.

Feel free to add, it's not like I own anything you know. I'll probably return to the article sooner or later, don't know when. Don't feel constrained. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:17, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

October 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to A Cambridge Mass (Vaughan Williams) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

composition task force
Thank you, user active in topics as diverse as space flight and classical music, for helping the compositions task force to articles on less known compositions by both well-known and less known composers, in advanced referencing style, for offering categories, page moves, update, maintenance and discussion, for inviting collaboration in writing and finding sources, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Thank you for Stanford's violin sonata! We'll sing his Beati tomorrow, - a sad stub, - would you perhaps have met sources for that, to expand? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Beati grew so much that I also included the other two. - For the sonata, I think a link to the pages where Dibble speaks of it might be of help, - revert if you don't agree. Would you perhaps take some more from there? Then we can go for DYK ;) - actually it's long enough already, but the Brahms comparisons seem worth mentioning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:24, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Including the composers surnames in titles[edit]

Please don't include the composer's surname in the title for no particular reason. Generally this might only be done for purposes of disambiguation, i.e., to distinguish two different compositions which happen to share the same title. Thanks, Wbm1058 (talk) 14:28, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 26[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Horn Trio (Holbrooke), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Horn. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Graham1973. Thank you for your comment on the edit summary of XXXV Airborne Corps: 'Have you been holding fake discussions again'?

In accordance with the community consensus at the discussion in Archive 117, I have created United States Army deception formations of World War II, and incorporated the airborne corps article into Operation Pastel. This is the best way to make sure that these notional formations are not mistaken for real ones. I would remind you that this was the community consensus of 2013, and that you were requested in the Archive 117 discussion and at User_talk:Buckshot06/Archive_19#About_that_apology_you_owe_me to be more WP:CIVIL. I would again request you remain civil in these discussions.

I am about to upmerge the remaining notional U.S. formations into United States Army deception formations of World War II. If you disagree with this implementation of the community consensus as discussed in the Archive 117 discussion, please again raise the matter at WT:MILHIST. Please do not start a useless series of reverts accompanied by uncivil comments. Should you just revert and continue making uncivil comments, not assuming WP:AGF, I will take the matter to AN/I. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 20:26, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your comment Graham. I cannot locate the discussion that you say includes three unsigned comments followed by a comment of mine. Happy to try and clarify should you be able to point me towards the discussion. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 04:46, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Perfido"[edit]

I have to put that in quotation marks, to not be accused of a personal attack ;) - Thank you for adding to Ah! perfido. I couldn't believe that a work like that had no article yet and just started. Feel free to expand, I have two more things waiting for my attention first. Thank you also for better referencing. If you ever feel like posting for people generally interested in article improvement, try WP:QAIPOST. Please check if what is there - just started - is comprehensible, and improve. Ideas welcome for templated entries of recordings and movements of larger musical pieces. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:11, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Template:Carter string quartets requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.
