[edit] Post horn
You made an edit to Post horn and left the note, "Expand as part of Missing encyclopedic articles." Tell me more about this project. Is post horn listed somewhere in the Missing encyclopedic articles? --Dbolton 19:46, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well the Missing encyclopedic articles is a wikiproject dedicated to creating articles that have been identified as important either by other encyclopedias or some other criteria. Post horn was an article listed in both a general encyclopedic list created several years ago and a newer "Hotlist" which combined entries from Encarta, Britannica as well as some other encyclopedic sources. Because it was listed at both the Hotlist and the general list it was put on a separate crossover list GeneralxHotlist. Because the article needed just a little more information before being removed from the list (the goal is to "check off" completed articles), I expanded the info for the post horn and removed it from the GeneralxHotlist list. I put the edit summary so that people like you would become curious about the project and potentially help out.
- You can check out what links to post horn and you see that one of the subprojects, Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics still has a link to post horn. It had been "checked off" and removed other lists but still needs to be removed from music list as well as an internal list that is on my page.
- You can help this project mainly by creating articles and pruning the list. A word of warning though, a blue link does not necessarily mean that the article has been covered. A rule of thumb is not to remove an item from the list unless it has approximately as much information as other encyclopedic entries.
- I am also going to change my edit summary so it is a little more clear. It should read Expanded rather than expand so that other people know that I expanded it and is not a call for them to expand it. Feel free to ask any other questions. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 20:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trumpet - good choice
I liked your recent edit of my recent edit on the Trumpet page - it's clearer. I almost went for the "12 pitches of Western music" phrasing myself. That article seems to need a little better organization and focus, which I'm trying (slowly) to accomplish.Special-T 20:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trumpet
I noticed you commended Special-T on his work on this article. Could you help him out by placing the image I uploaded to the commons for him into a few relevant articles? See User_talk:Special-T. - Mgm|(talk) 21:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Cross-posting this from the Talk:Trumpet page Special-T 22:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC):
Seems like another round of 'change the flat sign to lower-case b' has happened in a recent edit. I am not tech/browser savvy - has there been a reasonable practice agreed upon for this issue? Special-T 15:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edits on Cheville Chapel Page
Noticed that you removed this sentence:
- Like many true chapels, it is not a home for an organized congregation and does not typically have a regular schedule of services.
Your edit summary suggested the reason as POV. I think there may be a misunderstanding. A chapel, by definition, is not usually the home to a congregation. That is what is meant by "true chapel". It was not meant as a value judgment. Glenn4pr 02:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contributions to "Mouthpiece (brass)"
