[edit] RFR poll

Hi, you said you removed your vote, I was wondering if you could explain. :) Thanks, Talrias (t | e | c) 11:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am a vandal

Hehe... Some people take it as a badge of honor that their page has been vandalised, so in case you were, I felt bad and thought I'd help you out. :-) See you around. --LV (Dark Mark) 17:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I didn't feel LV's vandalism was enough, tried adding a nice ASCII Art smiley, but it just never works right....Mike (T C) 22:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moszkowski Polonaise

Hello, Miss Marple. I'm getting more and more enquiries about this as time goes on, so the word is spreading. I had to wait 30 years between discovering the music on LP in the mid 70s, and finally tracking down the score last year. Luckily you don't have to wait that long.

It's available from Musica Obscura Editions, 17 Joey Rd, Merrimack, New Hampshire 03054-4549, USA. Last year they didn't have a website, and I had to request the score by email. But it arrived very quickly.

Now there's a website [1] you can go to and browse their entire catalogue, which is full of fabulous stuff.

I'd love to hear your opinion when you finally sit down to play it. If only there was a CD recording of it so you could hear how it's "supposed" to sound like. Cheers JackofOz 02:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

PS. That link above does not seem to be working. You'll have to Google it yourself. There are various websites with an almost identical name to this one, but I'm sure you'll find the right one. JackofOz 02:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Op. vs. Opp.

Hi. I noticed you changed "Opp." to "Op." on Rachmaninoff's page (Opp. 23 and 32). Is this a style thing in Wikipedia? "Opp." is the correct way of referring to plural opus numbers. JackofOz 04:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. This is from our article abbreviation:

  • Plurals are often formed by doubling up the last letter of the abbreviation. Most of these deal with writing and publishing: MS=manuscript, MSS=manuscripts; l=line, ll=lines; p=page, pp=pages; s=section, ss=sections). This form, derived from Latin is used in Europe in many places: dd=didots. "The following (lines or pages)" is denoted by ff. One example that does not concern printing is hh=hands.

Admittedly, this doesn't mention "Opp", but I can assure you from very many years of deep involvement in music reference works that this is the standard way of pluralising "op.".

Here are 2 extracts from the article "opus" in Slonimsky's Webster's New World Dictionary of Music":

  • opus (Lat., work; plural, opera; abbrev. op., opp.).
  • Sometimes competing publishers would have their own sets of opus numbers for the same composer, thus creating several opp. 1, opp. 2, etc.

I'll add this to our article on abbreviations. Cheers JackofOz 10:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello and thank you

Missmarple, I want to thank you for your work on pianists' pages and Sviatoslav Richter in particular. I have similar interests. Be seeing you. Lpgeffen 15:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note on my User talk page. Lpgeffen 14:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martha Argerich

I really don't know much about her at all (just got the album whose image I uploaded yesterday and immediately fell in love with it). I looked a few internet sites and added what I thought was missing. I would like to add more but I really don't know anything about her other than what I read on other websites. I literally found out who she was only yesterday (although hopefully much better in the future). Anyway thanks for the msg =)--Hypo 10:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Labeling by nationality

Thanks for pointing this out, Missmarple. I put in a vote. Opus33 17:13, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edit summaries

Hi there. I noticed you are not an admin, and thought that's too bad. I think you'd be a great admin... if you improved your edit summaries :-))) If you check out requests for adminship, you'll see that they take care of percentage of edits that have edit summaries. And, your situation at the moment is: "Edit summary usage for Missmarple: 36% for major edits and 85% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace." This would pretty much berry your request for adminship. Please, improve this percentage... not that hard realy ;-) And, when you get over 90%/90%, I just might nominate you for adminship (if I don't forget) ;-) --Dijxtra 21:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Here you can calculate the percentage. As for Slovene... I understand a bit of Slovene since I just looove Zoran Predin :-) (d'oh? red link? hmmm... another article for our WP:FY...) Na svidanje! ;-) (I hope I got that correctly) --Dijxtra 11:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Now you can turn off "Mark all edits minor by default" in your preferences so you produce only plain (as in "not minor") edits for some time to raise your percentage of edit summaries ;-)

[edit] it's me again

Hi, this is not good :-) If you want to add a article to a stub category, you add it's tag, not category :-) This is how it's suposed to work: [2]. And, stub categories are not considered to be proper categorisation because once the article developes, the stub tag will be removed, so you have to put the article in apropriate category anyway: [3]. There, I hope I didn't confuse you :-\ --Dijxtra 10:01, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Herman of Carinthia

Hi Missmarple, I wrote to you a while ago about national categories for classical pianists. Thanks for the reply - I'm not taking any further action on this issue for the time being. I wonder if you could help me with Herman - I can't read Slovenian and I wonder what the Slovenian article says about him translating the Koran/Qur'an - the English article on Herman seems to have got rather confused about his English friend Robert of Ketton and I'm trying to sort out their respective contributions to Arabic-Latin translation. --Alan 19:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I found your translation most helpful, as it was clearer than the corresponding section in the English article on Herman. I think there is still some work to do revising the section on the Qur'an, as there is some confusion about his friend Robert - there seem to have been two relevant Roberts - one from Ketton (a little village nowhere near Chester) and one from Chester - they each have Wikipedia entries. To complicate matters Robert of Ketton was sometimes called Robertus Retenensis. I know so little about Robert of Chester that I don't know whether he could be an alias for another Robert - so I am still a bit confused but hope to get to the bottom of it. --Alan 05:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Montreal International Musical Competition

Could I ask why you moved Montreal International Musical Competition to Montreal International Music Competition? The former is the name of the competititon[4] and is how they announce it at the competition. Thanks! TheProject 16:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like the lead text was confusing. I have fixed it and have moved it back. Please let me know if you have any objections. TheProject 16:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it's a little complicated. Pogorelić won a different "Montreal International Music Competition" (no idea whether it was "Music" or "Musical" then) in 1980. I have no idea what happened to that competition -- the current "Montreal International Musical Competition" is a different competition and was only started in 2002. Regardless, the article that is on WP right now is the latter. TheProject 21:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slovenian recognition of Montenegro

Hi, do you know, did Slovenia recognise Montenegro? --Dijxtra 10:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hole in the doughnut effect

Hey, just to let you know that i have added sources to this article. You originally said that it needed sources. Im sorry about the delay, i couldnt remember the name of the book so i had to ask around my old school. (Neostinker 21:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Re:Hey

Sorry about that...you're right, I should have looked more carefully before I changed it. And if you're still interesting in helping, I've been meaning to fix up the Piano sonata article for a long time...any contributions you could make would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million. --Crabbyass 18:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the compliment. It's an odd combination, I know! - THE GREAT GAVINI {T-C} 18:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thanks for adding on to my article. I'm kinda new at this so I'm trying to get the hang of this. I've been to Slovania before. I enjoyed the casino lol.


[edit] Hi There

Hello Missmarple, actually I am quite new to the project. I've gotten quite into it the last few weeks. When I wanted to add stuff, I first started to study the way other articles are build up, so now I understand the basis of this. Anyway thank you for watching my back.

Greetings from Holland,
Paul Klein, 11 august 2006

(and the proof that I'm still new here is that acidentally removed you're previous reply. I'm sorry for that. I know now that you can add a reply at the '+' page...)

[edit] First question :-)

Hey there, Missmarple

Well, here's my first question. It's about copyright rules. I created a article about a computergame and now the images are removed. I kinda saw that one coming, but I have seen other computergame articles with pictures of the cover etc. How can I play by the rules while uploading an image??

Thanks in advance, Paul

[edit] Cypress Woods High School

Cypress Woods High School survived AFD. I added a lot of content to it after it was nominated, so it should be a better article :) WhisperToMe 03:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

For the tip, I shall read the navigation tool soon. I find creating articles on wikipedia to be surpriseingly addictive.

[edit] Bartok

Thanks for your contributions to the Two Romanian Folk Dances article. I'm guessing you're a pianist? If so, have you played these two pieces? If not I highly recommend them :) Ckerr 15:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music comp and Wikify tag.

Sorry I messed that up a little. I automatically detagged it because we get alot of lists tagged for wikification by people who think we work on formatting of lists etc. as a result if a list looks good and is linked and has a lead that's it I detag it and leave it as wikified. I have ot sya I checked a few links but not many as i was in a rush. Don't worry though I am much more careful usually :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 20:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missmarple states

Re. [5]: you nowhere gave any reason for your statement, you presented it as a unilateral decision, without the least shred of a reasonable explanation. FYI, I state the contrary. And if you ask me, and are prepared to explain your statement, I'd have no problem explaining my statement. --Francis Schonken 15:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Re [6]: not the least bit convincing, if you ask me. Please take your discussions regarding the Gnossienne article to the talk:gnossienne page. --Francis Schonken 15:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
