Talk:Wagner controversies/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B class. Full, well-written article. This is not the place to comment on the content - that can be done through a peer review. I note that it is well-referenced, but there is no bibliography. A full bibliography would be helpful. -- Kleinzach 04:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC) Update: a bibliography has now appeared. -- Kleinzach 09:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

B class. Some extra comments:

  • Despite the laudable number of inline references, there are quite a few unreferenced statements, many of them controversial. More reliance should be placed on printed sources and less on websites. If there is also to be a bibliography (and I wouldn't regard it as necessary if statements are properly sourced), then it needs to be divided up among the sections.
  • Statements in the article need to be aligned with other Wagner-related ones, for example in respect of Ludwig Geyer and Das Judenthum in der Musik.
  • Consideration needs to be given to reducing the overlap between this article and the relevant part of the Richard Wagner article (especially as it's quite likely that most visitors to this article will have come from that one).
  • The article needs a certain amount of copy-editing (for example, I'd have expected the lead to deal with the subjects in the order in which they appear below).

Nevertheless, not too far off GA. --GuillaumeTell 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
