[edit] Areas of interest

• English choral and organ music
• Wales (especially music and Anglesey)
• English Law and the legal profession
• University of Oxford
• Getting articles into the right categories!

[edit] Pages created

[edit] Composers

• Herbert Murrill
• Hugh Blair

[edit] Academic-related

• Jesus Professor of Celtic
• Updates to John Rhys and Thomas Charles-Edwards, who were already on WP, but new pages for these Professors:
  • John Fraser (Celticist)
  • Idris Foster
  • D Ellis Evans)

[edit] Categories created - 301 to date

[edit] Organ-related

• Category:Organ scholars
• Category:Cathedral organists (as part of the WP PipeOrgan Project, so I can't claim all the credit for populating this one)

[edit] Academic-related

• Category:Fellows of the Royal Historical Society
• Category:Fellows of Regent's Park College, Oxford and Category:Alumni of Regent's Park College, Oxford

I replaced the previous generic category of "Members of Regent's Park College, Oxford", taking it to CfD and got consensus to delete/split in this way.

• Category:Alumni of St Benet's Hall, Oxford and Category:Fellows of St Benet's Hall, Oxford
• Category:Alumni of St Cross College, Oxford
• Category:Alumni of St Stephen's House, Oxford
• Category:Alumni of Templeton College, Oxford and Category:Fellows of Templeton College, Oxford

[edit] The Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Categorization guidelines

• As part of a bit of a clean-up of Category:Welsh musicians, created 22 various Welsh music related categories (including Category:Welsh classical musicians, Category:Welsh harpists, Category:Welsh musicians by genre and Category:Welsh pianists. (Only one Welsh musician left in the top-level category to place: Syd Howells - can you help?!) I then discovered the categorization guidelines, and was inspired...
• All oboists (50 or so names) were previously in Category:Oboists with no sub-categories. I put them into appropriate national / genre sub-categories, and discovered the existence of Category:Rock oboists! 35 new categories.
• All violists (70 or so names) were previously in Category:Violists with no sub-categories. I put them into appropriate national / genre sub-categories, and this time found I had to create Category:American blues violists! 76 new categories were needed (but getting quicker this time with practice)
• Similarly, Category:Bassoonists - 25 categories - and, after a though-provoking comment by User:Badagnani, I added List of bassoonists to try and retain the usefulness of being able to see all bassoonists on Wikipedia on one page, as you could before the category was "processed".
• Category:Harpists - 47 categories
• Various other categories created for other instruments of multi-instrumentalists as I go through - 22 for flautists, 9 saxophonists, 7 violinists, 5 clarinetists, 2 trombonists - more work needed in these areas.
• Plus 41 "parent" categories for these to fit into e.g. Category:Fooian classical musicians by instrument or Category:Fooian musicians by genre
• Plus some "tidying" of the existing category trees when I spot problems.

[edit] To do

• Find some more music categories to do in the same way, e.g.
  • the other names in Category:Flautists
  • the 44 names in Category:Horn players (and beware confusion of English players of the horn / players of the English horn!)
  • Take a deep breath and sort out Category:British musicians (150 names to place), Category:English musicians (386 names), Category:Scottish musicians (159), Category:Northern Irish musicians (61) and finish off the categorization of Category:Welsh musicians
• For a change (!), try and sort out the 220 190 or so names in Category:Alumni of the University of Oxford, which should contain few articles, only sub-categories of college alumni.

[edit] Pages cleaned up or improved (beyond just reverting vandalism or making small changes)

A list that includes:

• Barbara Harbach - organist
• Brian Rice - footballer (saw the page on NPW and worked on it)
• Fort Richmond Collegiate
• Osian Ellis - Welsh harpist
• South Camden Community School
• Southend High School for Boys
• St Bede's Catholic College
