Page 371 of the Goetschius says of Hugo Kaun: "He has created three Symphonies, in D, C minor, and E minor (1915), several Symphonic-Poems, Suites, and other works, orchestral and choral." Since he repeats the word "minor" I thought he meant the one in D is in D major. But I haven't heard any of his music, and I don't know if it any of it has been played in concert or on the radio in the past 20 years.Willi Gers07 (talk)19:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the links. It certainly sounds like it's in a minor key to me. But, as you said, it could well switch to D major at the faster tempo (like Haydn's "London"). Oh, and btw, do you know anything about theGarritan Personal Orchestra?Willi Gers07 (talk)22:07, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Say, Schissel, do you know of any way to deal with bullies on Wikipedia? What about a bully who knows Wikipedia's policies backwards and forwards and uses them against those who disagree with him? And what if he does this in a much more sophisticated way than what is described atWP:GAME? A lot of people are aware of this bully but they act as if they're completely powerless to do anything to take him down.Willi Gers07 (talk)16:32, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aproposed deletion template has been added to the articleString Quartets (Smetana), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Hi, I just saw your message. I read yourarticle and the information of my Symphony-Articles are mostly from there and from the book of Gulinskaja (and, of course, own ideas). As yet I liked the late Symphonies more, but with the historical background the early works are interesting, too (my favourites are the 21st and the 24th). It's difficult to filter the non-indoctrinated information from Gulinskaja's book, and one thing I didn't understand is: What relationship did Mjaskowski really have to the Sowjet regime? Do you have any other sources? I also wrote an article about thepiano sonatas, if you are interested. I'm glad, that my articles will be translated soon and I hope, more people will be interested in this wonderful and exciting music. --Daniel Musiklexikon (talk)19:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC) (Discussion on my German page)[reply]

Here at en. we now have an article aboutGeorg Wilhelm Rauchenecker. Don't know what sources de. or es. used, but if my humble little stub doesn't get deleted and it passes muster with you, perhaps you could possibly consider linking it at the IMSLP. I'm not going to get an account at IMSLP since I don't consider myself worthy of IMSLP, people who actually know what they're talking about. Actually, come to think of it, how come IMSLP doesn't link to a more reputable website than Wikipedia, a website actually run by experts and not morons? Or have their own bios of composers?James470 (talk)06:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My favorite Catholic saint is St. Florian, if that tells you anything about the validity of your conclusion. (Look him up in a book, not here, if you care to). Lately I had been annoyed by a couple of morons who think that plagiarizingNew Grove is the same as creating fine free content.

Anyway, and much more importantly, thank you for telling me about Rauchenecker's two other symphonies. It was difficult enough findingany information on the guy. I have a subscription to Oxford Music Online, and he's mentioned in the Winterthur article. I can't find that mention in either my copy ofNew Grove (the older edition) and the library is still missing, well, all volumes of the 2001 edition.

Still, I remain concerned as to what sources exactly the German Wikipedia used. Though my knowledge of German is only a tiny bit more advanced than Jimbo's.James470 (talk)06:19, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying that.

I see Amazon has the Jecklin CD mentioned in one of the Wikipedia pages. Rauchenecker's Quartet in C minor and Goetz's Quartet in B-flat. Just $63 plus shipping and tax.James470 (talk)00:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who do I talk about copyright violations in Wikipedia? Does Wikipedia even have copyright reviewers like IMSLP does?

I am concerned that the composerJames Lentini is under the serious misapprehension that he is the copyright owner of images of himself (such asFile:JimL Guitar.jpg) taken by professional photographers. The particular photographer here probably would have charged him a lot more if he had known his work would wind up on Wikipedia without permission.Incarnatus (talk)20:50, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is I have no idea who the photographer is. All I know for sure is that he didn't take it himself.Incarnatus (talk)18:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use atWP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, wastrue. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed tofalse in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there isa workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Hello Schissel! Nice to meet you in Wikiverse! I would like to ask you a question - where did you find a list of works? Thank you!Semimartingale (talk)01:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Schissel,

My name is Jonathan Obaruser:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hi Schissel,I'm a wikipedia newbie who's trying to add to a page about the Missa Gaudeamus of Josquin.This is my first article, so I'm quite cautious both from a technical and historical point of view.I've just started compiling the "sources" section, here are my attempts as far as now

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:UneMusqueDeBiscaye#Sources

when documenting online I've found the imslp page at

http://imslp.org/wiki/Missa_Gaudeamus_%28Josquin_Desprez%29

in which you've indicated a Liepzig print (of 1836) which attributed the mass to Ockegem.I was wondering if you have additional information about it and if you deem my sources section correct and adequate for wikipedia. The interesting point is about the paternity of the edition abscribed to Friedrich Rochlitz...

any suggestion or hints?

thanks a lot for your magnificent work on imslp, hope you will appreciate my little effort to bring Missa Gaudeamus to a larger audience, since it is really a piece of fine art...

Yes. Adagio is not a disambiguation page - a disambiguation page would provide disambiguation and redirect links for all of its components, which Adagio does not - so Adagio is a target page; in particular, the link referred to Adagio as a composition, and no further redirection was suggested for that, so I linked directly to Adagio, which was the only page available.

Hello Schissel,I noticed that you had typeset the bassoon part of the Theodor Sick Septet no. 1 (op 25).I'm in the process of typesetting a complete score and a set of parts, but I figured I'd check if you were working on the rest, so as not to duplicate efforts.ps. do you know anything about Sick?

Neat, looking forward to it.

Sorry to keep bothering you, but another question: I just realized that it was you who had scanned in the Fritz Kauffmann cello concerto. I've made a piano reduction, and played it a few times with pianists: it seems a worthy composition. I just completed typesetting the orchestral parts for the first movement (with a view toward playing it with an orchestra), and I wonder: do you know if orchestral parts were available wherever you acquired the score?24.187.199.178Rgotlib (talk)18:31, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source of my scan wasSibley Library (or as it shows up at IMSLP, "US-R" - US- Rochester.)

Greetings and best wishes from Amsterdam. I just made MoeransSymphony in G minor (Moeran) on the dutch version with most of the details of this English article. However coming to Boults version, I disagree. Boult recorded the work with the New Philharmonia Orchestra for Lyrita, seeAmazon LP. The London P as mentioned in the article was "used" for the other works on the Lyrita cd-release.If I am wrong please let me know.Ceescamel (talk)21:56, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into it. At a guess: (1) you're very likely right (2) Amazon.com isnot generally a source I'd rely on, however. I've found some outright temporally impossible statements at sites like Amazon, ImdB (and here, too, but, well, easier to fix them here, relatively, I think...

But getting back to topic, I'd use something more official for a source, if one can be found- either a book about Boult, perhaps, with a discography; or a library catalog card entry. Also fallible - library catalog entries have some interesting misattributions, though librarians are on-the-whole willing to discuss and fix them, if convinced, I find..., but on the whole, I think, better than some other sources anyway.

Greetings, the result of reading some different pages....I was working on articles of some not well-known Norwegian composers for the Dutch Wiki. They were named in an ad for Ny Musik in the Aftenposten of 19.12.1917. In that ad was namedRomance for violin eller cello og piano by Windingstad. Publisher Oluf By. In a later edition of the newspaper (probably evening) there was also an article about new works of December 1917 (by Hjalmar Borgstrom). Then going to IMLSP (I lost my password there) I found the sheet music without the full name of the composer and the year of publishing. Well, composer was Thorleif Windingstad, an organist (and for a year mayor) from (of) Sandefjord. He was the father of the more famous conductor Ole Windingstad. Here is the link to [Aftenposten]. I don't know if it works directly, otherwise type "Aftenposten 1917.12.19" in "Search", chose "Aviser".Ceescamel (talk)12:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by "maps from territories and pointers from things themselves". If you could specify which edit/edit summary you're talking about, it would help.

In general, publication date (when available), much like author, title, etc. is an integral piece of the publication information about a given work when that work is cited as a source. It makes no sense to leave it out, but to note when an editor accessed the source, any more than it makes sense to persistently omit the name of the author, both of which are practices that I've observed on the part of many editors.Nightscream (talk)03:25, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there again. I was working on the the dutch version ofIsle of the Dead (Rachmaninoff). It seemed the date of first performance was wrong there (1919).

Hello, Schissel. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned"extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created followingthis community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016,a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification atWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updatinga report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please reviewthe protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hi Schissel.

A new user group,New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin atPERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are availablehere but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us atWT:NPR.(Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk)13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments to this 'brief encounter' editor indicate a knowledge of classical music.

Greetings from the Netherlands again. I made the Dutch version ofSymphony No. 6 (Bax) and there are some differences in orchestration and premiere. Reading the printed score on IMSLP there are indeed 3 flutes, but flute 3 is also playing the piccolo (see page 2 of part 1; change to flute). The clarinet III is also playing the Es-clarinet (also mentioned in the early pages of part 1). Strange is that IMSLP takes the orchestration of the Wikipedia, while there have the printed score. For the premiere Foreman and Parlett mentioned the London Philharmonic Orchestraat the Royal Philharmonic Society. The Royal Philharmonic did not existed then (only from 1946). Please confirm my marks and change the article on Wiki and IMSLP if I am right. For me, Bax's 3 is the best.Ceescamel (talk)11:17, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just note that

• until and unless I figure out a way to turn off 2-factor authentication (... nope)
• then once my browsers (edit: Chrome on desktop; the others seem to have lost it already) lose my "saved-for-several-months" login info,
• I will no longer be able to connect to Wikipedia probably ever again (for a simple reason: Google authenticators seem to be broken on my phone, and ------ if I have been able to fix it. So no more logging into Wikipedia the next time my browsers all ask me for my password and my authentication keys, for I shall be unable to provide. So it goes. Bye in advance.)

Hee. I can't even disable 2-factor authentication from the one computer and browser on which Iam logged in, because it demands a code from my authentication device which I can no longer supply. Well, I was warned about this- that if I lost my authentication keys I would lose my account unrecoverably (at least, once this login expires in x days.)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they arerequired to "have strong passwords andfollow appropriate personal security practices." We haveupdated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular,two-factor authentication remains anoptional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
