[edit] Classified works list

I don't think the article gains from having the works in a classified list. Each work has the forces for which it was written clearly stated, so the article does not gain any information; on the contrary, the chronology of the works is lost. Can I put it back to just a plain list, please? --RobertG ♬ talk 09:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• However, the link to the Polish Music Center already gives a chronological list. I think it's better for us not to repeat the same thing. Also, since most people who visit will not be musicologists, there wouldn't be such an important need to list the works chronologically; it would be more systematic to group similar things together; it also helps people in remembering the contents. If the list is a short one, it is very natural to list them chronologically. But since this is a very long one, I support grouping items into categories, so as to be more systematic.

The list getting a bit long in any case, so it should be put on a separate page... there we can have different classifications and also a chronological list. Karol 10:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compositions

Why has the list of compositions been unilaterally moved? This is a featured article, and doesn't deserve to be chopped up in this way. --RobertG ♬ talk 11:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I moved it, because it was very long. There's no point in listing _all_ of his works in this article, even if it is a featured one. There is now incentive to refactor that list and place the most important compositions in the article, and perhaps to add a summary of his compositions, some statistics, comments, etc. 16:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh? Article missing?

I can read the discussion page, but when I try to look at the article, it tells me Wikipedia has no such page. Is there a database problem? DanB†DanD 04:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Strange ... I "fixed" the article by selecting the most recent version from the history, editing it, and saving it without changes. My edit doesn't show up in the history, but the article is visible to me once again. Is this a known problem wikipedia has? Or is it nothing but a caching problem or something like that on my end?
