[edit] Proposed move

This is not a standard English name as far as I can tell, and there are a lot of English links to Darmstädter Ferienkursen, also the name of the WP:de article; it took a lot of seaching to even find this page.

btw, I think Taruskin and critics would fit better into the Darmstadt School article. Sparafucil 21:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I heartily agree, on both counts, and you are so right about it being hard to find the page. Whenever I have needed to link to it from another article (and this has happened dozens of times, since I have written quite a few articles on Darmstadt-connected composers), I have been forced to go to an article where I know it is already linked (such as Karlheinz Stockhausen), in order to find the proper article title. However, let us make sure that we use the correct form: the plural of Kurs(us) is Kurse, not Kursen, as can be seen in the lead sentence of the article as it presently stands. (BTW, this is one reason why finding the article is presently so difficult. There is a redirect from the ungrammatical "Darmstädter Ferienkursen", but not from the correct spelling.) Though the formal title is "Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Darmstadt", it is more commonly referred to (as in the German Wikipedia article) "Darmstädter Ferienkurse".--Jerome Kohl 22:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Good catch, thanks! I wonder if there should be a redirct from Ferienkürse too? ;-P Sparafucil 21:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
