Talk:Persecuted bandurists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] proposal

Honestly, I don't like the way this goes. Would not it be better to have a History of Bandurism article where persecution is covered and a separate List of persecuted bandurists? --Irpen 07:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Bandurism would be a very long article. The scale of persecution of bandurist is considerable. Nothing on this scale is known in the world of music. Here I'm trying to put together all the sources and the documents. --Bandurist 16:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I understand this but the order is just strange. Suppose one is interested in the History of how the Ukrainian language was developing. The right approach would have been to first make the History section of the UA L article comprehensive or even to write a separate History of the Ukrainian language article. And then, make a subarticle on the specific issue of the oppression of the language, if one feels compelled to write such article on a narrower issue.

Here we go the opposite way, creating an article on only one aspect of Bandurism seems a wrong order. Let's develop a history which would include all aspects, not just persecution, and then brunch out the persecution if there is a need for it. --Irpen 21:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I understand what you are proposing. I have just put up about 200 articles on the Ukrainian wikipedia and have been working on the Ukrainian version of getting all this info together, and basically jumped the gun by doing an English version of the future Ukrainian article. before I had translated all the other materials into English. At the present time it is somewhat unwheally, but I don't want to shorten before I port it over to the Ukrainian version. --Bandurist 02:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
