One should also include more information on the teaching method and style... as well as mention to 'ARCT' level, which goes beyond their grades 1-10, and includes two branches, teaching and performing. The RCM is not just a place/building but also a distinction, of a strong musical background.--Skugg 19:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
A google indicates, this might not be the only place on Earth with this name. Given the generic sounding name, it seems prudent to include the city name. Most links to article have already been fixed to point to "Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)". Now, if somebody really wishes to change it back, I will accept that *if* you also fix the re-dirs. I will ultimately fix the few remaining re-dirs, but I'll wait a bit, to see if it's moved back right away. --rob 02:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Why did you do this move? The Manual of Style recommends that an article should correspond to the most common use of a name, and this was certainly the case here. At least "Royal Conservatory of Music" still redirects here, but if there are others, why haven't you changed that to a disambiguation page (even if right now there are only red links for the others)? In the future, I would recommend trying seek out consensus before making unilateral page moves. I also do not accept your high handed declaration that someone could only move it back if they agree to fix the redirects that YOU broke. Fawcett5 12:39, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- I was moving it back to the established status quo, where it had been for some time. The prior mover, should have gotten consensus. At the time of my move, most links were to "Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)" already. So, my single act of moving *decreased* the number of re-directs. Also, at least one (maybe more) of the links to "Royal Conservatory of Music" was in fact referring to " the Royal Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen" (see Sigurd Rascher). That's a serious error, which is noticed when it's a re-dir, but not when it's a direct link. You break, *you* fix it. --rob 12:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- About the disambig page, that's a good idea, which I'll do once I get a reliable list of all the placees with the name (if somebody doesn't do first). But, my move was still an improvement. Re-dirs show up very clearly in "What links here", and are quite easy to fix. However, direct links to an entirely unrelated article, are rarely noticed. --rob 13:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- Fair enough, I am setting up the redirect page now with at least Toronto and Copenhagen. Cheers, Fawcett5 13:08, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, that's great, and will help prevent future errors. It's probably what I should have done, and yes, I probably should have used the talk page first, before going ahead unilaterally. Sorry, if I sounded high-handed. --rob 13:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Possible criticism section
Currently, I have stated that this article is written like an advertisement. There should be a criticism section to ensure a neutral point of view for this article. Johnny Au (talk) 19:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Five key divisions
QUOTING the article: "The Royal Conservatory operates with five key divisions:"
This is followed by six points. Is it meant to be 5 or 6?

[edit] Three pipe organs!
QUOTING THE ARTICLE: "The concert and recital halls of the College Street site were only partially replaced in the move, while the library, residence and all three pipe organs were lost."
How extraordinarily careless of them!
I think it would be a good idea to elaborate on what happened in this relocation.

- There should be a source for the three lost pipe organs. If the sources cannot be found, then remove them. Additionally, I have merged the information from the RCM Examinations article into this article. Johnny Au (talk) 14:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I found it. It is this website. Johnny Au (talk) 14:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
