[edit] Sourcing and referencing

I've added a synopsis and various other information. I've tried to indicate what source provided what information. Are other people able to supply sources for information added earlier? --Peter cohen 20:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Working towards Good Article candidacy.

I think that this article is not far off being suitable for nomination.

These are the things that I think need to be done first:

• Move up and format the recordings accoridng to WP:WPO standards.
• Source a couple of facts: the history of the manuscript passing through Ludwig's and Hitler's hands and being destroyed being the most obvious. Also need full citation details (author, pages) for the Sawallisch box info.
• Illustrations: I'm thinking particularly of musical ones. Is anyone here experienced in handling sound files and doing so in accordance with Wikipedia's policies. However, if anyone has a text which has the illustration at [1] and can indicate its date, we might be able to include that in the synopsis.
• Should state that it's not part of the Bayreuth canon and find a source.
• Rework Sources section into references and links ones.
• Confirm what Grove etc have to say.

Anyone able to help with any of these?--Peter cohen 15:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
