[edit] Subjectivity

I consider my fairly subjective description of the piece apposite, as people reading the article are probably mainly going to be interested in the music and prepared to listen to it themselves, and also because a summary of the most important facts precedes it. More information on Prokofiev and his second piano concerto can be found at the given links. (User:Livedevilslivedevil)

[edit] First class!

This article is really an amazing piece of work, first class, thanks! Soczyczi (talk) 23:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OR?

Now almost a month ago an OR tag has been placed by a user, unwillingly he says!? No reason has appeared on this talk page. In this article I don't see anything but an occasionally somewhat enthusiastic description of the piece, there's no research at all involved. Is there any OR done when an article says grass is green? One reads music, one listens to a concert, and then one describes what happens. Soczyczi (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Long descriptive passages with no citations will get an OR tag. As editors, we're supposed to be citing secondary sources here (reviews, articles, program notes), not making stuff up ourselves. At the very least, the references mentioned at the end and internal single-bracket links should be migrated to in-text ref-tag notes.DavidRF (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I brought it up on Live..'s talk page a while ago, but I forgot to take action. It is a regrettable thing, but it must be trimmed, at the very least. ALTON .ıl 02:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
