[edit] Web reference formatting

About the changes you made to the external links section etc. -

The link formatting results in lines such as--

van Rijen, Onno. "Opus by Shostakovich." '. . Accessed on [[]], [[]].

I'm not at all sure this was intended? ( I have accessed the page since and refreshed to see if it registered any change.) Regards! Schissel : bowl listen 18:48, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] accusations

please do not accuse wikipedia users of ad hominem attacks, especially where none exists.. it is uncivil.

[edit] Classicalcat links

See WP:EL.

I reviewed the classicalcat link and found that:

  1. The site is commercial.
  2. There are excessive numbers of advertisements.
  3. In order to actually download and listen to the MP3s, pop-under ads are triggered.
  4. The site uses techniques to circumvent popup blockers.
  5. The site has content that duplicates what we already have at Wikipedia, except for the MP3s.
  6. The licensing status of the MP3 content is unclear. If it is a copyvio, then we should not link to it because we avoid linking to copyvio content. If it is public domain or available under a free license, we should transcode it to OGG and upload it to the commons. In neither case is the content suitable for an external link.

For these reasons I have removed the link.

Then why not link directly to the appropriate third-party site that is hosting the mp3s in question? The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I am sending this out to wikiart folks everywhere,

so please don't feel picked on. Here's my thing. I've been watching list of sculptors recently and have been weeding out the entries in red on the theory that this is an index of sculptors in wikipedia. However I have been reluctant to remove artists that I know or discover to be real, wikipedia worthy people, so am trying to decide if I should just do a stub - maybe a lot of stubs - of these folks or leave them on the list [I HATE lists with too much red - check out the List of Frank Lloyd Wright works for example.

I checked out one, François-Joseph Duret (1804 - 1865) and discovered that there are at least two sculptors with that name, (1732 - 1816) and (1804 - 1865)- this one is the son - and both probably could comfortably be in wikipedia. I did have a rather bad moment when someone DELETED my article on Connor Barrett about an hour [maybe less] after I first posted it, on the theory that he was not wikiworthy [or something] and a lot of these fairly remote [in time and place from me] artists are a lot more obscure than Barrett. So, i would like to know that i have the support of the wikipedia art history community before doing this. Drop me a line, if you wish to sit down and be counted. Life is good, Carptrash 04:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC) PS although i do mostly American art i have contributed to lots on non-American articles including Aleijadinho, Ásmundur Sveinsson, Einar Jonsson, Gunnfrídur Jónsdóttir, Henry Moore, Ivan Meštrović, Ørnulf Bas, Rayner Hoff, and probably some others. I say this because most of the stubs I'm proposing would be Europeans.
