[edit] Welcome!
Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every biography article in Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! plange 04:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rosario Marciano
A tag has been placed on Rosario Marciano, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Rosario Marciano is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Rosario Marciano, explaining how Rosario Marciano is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Diez2 20:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
statement: relistening a double LP (FSM 33 056 / 57 FONO Münster 1985) containing compositions of 15 different female piano composers, completely played by pianist Rosario Marciano (female) I was glad to find any information about this pianist. I guess she got enough merrits to spent memory capacity of Wikipedia for an article.
To quote from the record cover: "...first concerts when 6 years old, lived in Europe since 1962, continueing education with Jörg Demus, Alfred Brendel, Paul Badura Skoda,
first prices (not specified) in international contests,
she founded a museum in Caracas accomodating her piano collection of historic instruments,
she achieved obligatory music lessons for pupils in Venezualian schools in 1973, !!!
she was interested in female as composer and identified more then 2.000 female composers."

[edit] Frankel, film score composing- I still say, remove the larger category.
I have scores and recordings of several of his concert works and couldn't agree more- it's through a review of his symphonies on cpo in Fanfare, I believe, that I came to know his music, and I'd heard at least 6 of the 8 symphonies and a number of other works before I heard any of his film music. What did I mean (and I still stand by my deletion)? I meant, that having both categories was redundant, if one was a subcategory of the other at least (and if not, there should be such a link formed). The more specific category gets used. Otherwise, we'd have
Musician
Composer
British composer
English composer
English film score composer
and this is much advised-against. (Having his other musician-related activities- instrumental, conducting, iirc?- no problem there...

[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classical pianists (recorded)
Dear Ronan, while writing some biographical notes on pianists I have on a couple of occasions added a few to the list of recording pianists. Some I think are legitimate (e.g. Pouishnoff) but others you may think too insignificant. It is difficult to know where the boundary lies. If you think some I have added are outwith the purpose of the list, (easy to check on the History tab), please strike them out as you think appropriate. best wishes Dr Steven Plunkett 01:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

- It's not for me to decide, but for you! If you care enough about a pianist, and they have left recordings, then add them, I say. All the best Rconroy 20:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
|
Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 |
|
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

[edit] Anatole Kitain
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Anatole Kitain, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page.

[edit] Proposed Merger of Classical pianists (recorded) and List of classical pianists
Just a heads up—a proposal has been floated to merge these two lists. A notice has been placed on the former's discussion page, and discussion is actually taking place on that of the latter. I've made a case, from my own perspective, as to why I think they should stay separate, but as the originator of the "Recorded" list you may wish to add your own thoughts as well.

[edit] Yoko Akino (artist)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Yoko Akino (artist), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.graphicstudiodublin.com/artists/yoko_akino.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
