[edit] I puritani recordings

I am wondering if we should remove the references to the BBC because (1) potential copyright issue, (2) avoiding parochialism and (3) because we should have enough expertise on WP to make our own lists without the help of the Beeb. What do you think? Best regards from the WP:WPO. - Kleinzach 22:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC) [Copied here by Nunquam Dormio 07:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC) ]

This article is certainly unusual in publishing a 'best recordings' list: it is fraught with problems.
  1. The BBC is relaxed about people linking to their site: many wiki pages link to BBC news articles so this article wouldn't be unusual in that respect.
  2. If we were to keep a list, it should derive from a number of sources. The Gramophone magazine has a Recommended Recordings database but it doesn't mention I puritani. Anyone know of similar databases elsewhere in the world?
  3. I'm not sure asking Wikipedia editors to agree on a set of 'best' recordings would be entirely productive as I can't see a consensus would easily be achieved. We might even get commercial interests plugging their own recordings. If we have such a list at all, it should derive from / point to some respected authorities.

Well, in the first place, we couldn't do a best recordings section because that would be POV and fundamentally against the way WP operates. What we can do is list recordings or better still do an (objective) recording history. It's easy enough to do a list using Google and there are plenty of discographies on the net. (I have done a few lists of recordings for WP articles myself.)
The normal way of referring to other publications is to put links in an External links section. Readers are simply directed to The Gramophone or the BBC or whatever and they find the substance of the information there. This is good way of handling information because it obviates copyright problems and leaves it up the reader to follow the link or not. - Kleinzach 09:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
