[edit] Jargon

Many music articles need to be made more clear to the lay reader (see:Wikipedia:Explain jargon and Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Think of the reader).

These include music, interval (music), and scale (music).

[edit] Bands

  • Butterfly Messiah - Needs formatting. It appears as though the bulk of the page was directly copy+pasted from the official site. --Blu Aardvark 23:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
    • The page appears to have been formatted, though there's very little information. Is it time to remove this page from the list? --Niwikki 09:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Boys Night Out - This page is awful. Its been tagged for NPOV, clean up, and wikify. The person who wrote the majority of it seems to write like a music critic. --Windsamurai 21:47, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Dangerous Toys - Semi Disbanded is a made up section header (Current Projects seems more appropriate). Much of the Section content promotes upcoming commercial product releases - including some for other bands. Needs a shift in focus to actual (i.e., current or previous) Dangerous Toys releases.
  • Deadsy - This page has potential. It has alot of easily accessible information, but everything is unsourced. Some things are easy to find, well others are not so much. Lamentingvampire09 07:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Poison - This article has an extreme fan pov, and is riddled to the core with ridicules statements, trying to make the band sound like its one of the greatest groups on the planet. Avador 19:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Shattersphere - This page is very biased. Just look at the intro, "Imagine the ultimate combination of Rock and Metal, a genre of music that can dominate the Mainstream world and still have enough capacity to steamroll into the Underground. Now take a quintet of driven, talented, and professional musicians and the result is Shattersphere.".

[edit] Musicians

  • Kid Rock - Bad --Edmundssteven 05:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Skip Weshner - Needs expansionCrusading composer 03:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Jann Halexander - Needs expansion, NPOV and referencing. ddlamb 05:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
  • List of compositions by Schubert - Only one of the Schubert symphonies has a page with any information right now. MikeCapone 22:36, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • As of 6/2006, there are pages for four (5-7-8-9) late symphonies. (The early ones are much less frequently heard; someone who owns them could reference their record notes ... short articles are better than nothing for starters, they will get filled in eventually.)Twang 02:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Robert Schumann - Same here, only very few of his major works have their own articles as of now. MikeCapone 22:36, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Antonio Salieri - Quite a few issues here; see its talk page for details. In summary, very POV, disputed facts (like Mozart accusing Salieri of attempted murder). --C S 02:26, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Robert Hardy (bassist) — The last two sentences about this artist's webbed feet and his lies seems farfetched. Could somebody check these facts? Thank you. — RJH 22:37, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Guru Surajananda - apparently an eminent Indian musician, appeared on AfD due to difficulties in researching and establishing notability. There is copious material on the web, but it needs someone better able to understand the cultural references to expand this beyond a stub.
  • Cassiya: basically, we need to expand on this page or it will be duhleetudd. PLZ HELP HERE people! Put in ANY information you can!!

[edit] Opera

Alright, his birthdate has been fixed per grove, I removed a broken external link from Sopranist (which he wasn't). Giambattista is just a common contraction of his given names, so I've left that alone. I think that's all. Makemi 00:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

  • The Space music article urgently requires outside opinions on a number of matters relating to definition of the term and its context with the ambient music continuum. --Gene_poole (talk) 23:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • The Dark Cabaret article is in need of some serious TLC. It had four infoboxes on it before I got ahold of it; now it has a fifth. Please, if you can, fix this article. In its current state, it's a blight. 71.228.173.7 (talk) 22:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singers

  • Christina Aguilera's Stripped album article doesn't cover the singles "Fighter", "Cant Hold Us Down" and "The Voice Within" as much as the first two singles on the album.
  • Aziza Mustafa Zadeh is poorly written. Lot's of grammatical mistakes and not much information.
    • I made a bunch of headway with the writing & grammar, but the article is still pretty thin. Bubamara 09:59, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Geoffrey Oryema includes only a rewording of his amazon.com description (from CD cover) and external links, as I don't have access to any biographical sources - any takers? - Kwill 16:53, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - He was a major Qawwali singer. The article needs to be improved a lot. I would do it myself, but I have little knowledge of music. Anyone who studies music will find working on this article very interesting, as his music is uniqe and this man was famous the world over. Anyway, the lead needs expansion, better description of his music in technical terms needs to be given, and the article needs more references. --Zaindy٨٧ 12:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Events

  • Woodford Folk Festival - The woodford folk festival is a massive annual event that involves hundreds of thousands of people and has been around for almost 20 years in some form but the entry is absolutely tiny and does nothing more then acknowledge its existence.

[edit] Record Labels

[edit] Music from Television program

  • Music of La Femme Nikita: the article lacks sources (documentation for verification) and appears to be the product of original research: WP:NOR. (See "Broadcasting" section above.) --NYScholar 22:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freestyle_rap

Unevenly written, needs editing. Rtfisher

[edit] Kid Rock

Bad--Edmundssteven 05:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Music Man (song)

This has the potential to be a very useful article, if only any information on its origins can be supplied. Even the identity of the recording would be a major step. Matthew Platts 02:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of best selling music artists

Sounds like a fantastic idea, but large omissions and in most instances no sources have made the information appear very innacurate. Peter S. 10:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Music of the United States

Article is well written, heavily sourced, much too long, and incomplete. Organization is incoherent. Says more about Klezmer than Jazz. This has the makings of a featured article that went astray. Part of the Arts of the United States series. Durova 19:44, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Italian popular music

Article lacks coherence and import. The sections vary considerably in content and focus, with some amounting to little more than lists. Someone with a broad understanding of modern Italian music, including its influences, could really help this one along. Vineviz 15:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Musical Notation

What is there is good, but the article is eurocentric. Musical notations from other cultures should be covered. Nannus 18:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harp, Lyre, Flute, Drum

Eurocentric. Nannus 18:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Milton Preves (Violist)

Lacking enough source information, was only able to build up a basic bio of his life from a obituatry in the Chicago Sun-Times from 2000. Internet sources are very minimal, so other alternate source will have to be found with more information. Also, I was unable to find anything on his birth date, though in the obituary, his exact death is mentioned. Compuguy1088 19:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Krakebs

[edit] Singing

Short, not detailed, no pictures, uninteresting, needs cleanup. Tom Stringham 00:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhythmic mode

For over one year now, Rhythmic mode has required someone who knows something about music to take a looks at it. Hyacinth has presented specifications of what is required on the article's talk page. It would be cool if someone could head over there and help out.--Commander Keane 21:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Request made for original author (User:Antandrus) to help research needed information. MarkBuckles (talk) 05:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arioso

This article needs considerable attention. It makes some sense, but is very incomplete, and in some instances inaccurate.

[edit] Embouchure

Not referenced, and past versions have received complaints from professors and students in the field. -- Zanimum 17:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

This article mentions Reinhardt and Farkas. Both of these people have written books on the subject of embouchure, and permission to cite these texts could probably be easily attained. Another great reference is David Hickman's "Trumpet Pedagogy". This book retails for about $44. Being a trombonist, I would also recommend Ed Kleinhammer, Reginald Fink, and the Alessi/Bowman edition of the Arban Method. --Mdwilber (talk) 19:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Sound production and choice of equipment (mouthpiece) is highly dependent on mouthpiece placement. What I mean is that a player with a 70/30 upper/lower embouchure is going to be able to play lower more easily, while the other way around enables the player to play higher more easily. For this reason, this fact should be given a greater amount of emphasis. --Mdwilber (talk) 19:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is going on with the category of "composers?

I have noticed a great deal of edits done by Dafoeberezin3494 concernings the catagory of pages devoted to "composers". While it seems that there are a great many catagory pages such as "List of composers by name: S" and "List of Irish Composers" which are very short, there are enough composers whose names begin with "S" and enough Irish composers (as a visit to the Irish Contemporary Music Center site at [68] will attest) that these pages should eventually be full. Now that the Zarzuela composers catagory has been deleted, where are people supposed to be articles by the very good composers who are listed here? [69]

  • While some cleaning up needs to be done, I'm wondering if there isn't just a little too much going on? Could we perhaps rethink all of this and perhaps keep some of these useful catagories open, since they are going to be needed at some point? Musikfabrik 20:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it is best to delete the page altogether? --Montchav 18:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

For no obvious reason, the link now points to "Folk Music of England". I hope somebody removes this divert. I have created a new article "Timeline of trends in British music" which is a reasonable replacement for the original concept. Ogg (talk) 20:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested articles

Wikipedia:Requested articles/music is a total nest, and this project seems like the perfect solution.

[edit] Review Notability

Though the issue has arisen due to the ever-growing catalog of critical opinions forming in the Fear of a Blank Planet article, I've had this question for quite a while now... what, if any, is Wikipedia precedent regarding the notability, and therefore the justifiable inclusion of an album review? Critics like Rolling Stone, Kerrang, or AMG would appear to be no-brainers due to their ubiquity, but others seem to be considerably more esoteric than other. Personally, I believe that I could be a fair judge of the credibility of these questionable sources, but that sort of unilateral movement doesn't sit entirely well with me in terms of setting a precedent.

So... is anyone able to help me out here? - C. M. Reed 02:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

This is being discussed at WT:ALBUM#Professional review sources. --PEJL 08:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film scores

There has been an increasing amount of stand alone articles for specific film scores, eg. Batman Begins (soundtrack) and Happy Feet (score). Now, if you look at the composers' articles (Hans Zimmer and John Powell respectively), the links to their works direct to the actual film. Should this change so that we are directed to soundtrack's article? Wouldn't it be better if it did? And even if the soundtrack did not have it's own page, a quick direction to soundtrack subheading of the film's article would be nice, right? (e.g.Blood Diamond (film)#Soundtrack) Or, should we start creatng separate articles for soundtracks? — « hippi ippi » 16:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say your third suggestion - linking to the Soundtrack subsection - would be best. I'll bring this up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD. Λυδαcιτγ 18:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Most of these score / soundtrack articles fail to establish the importance of the subject. Every film has a soundtrack, an article that lists the soundtrack items will often violate WP:NOT#INFO. I would say that to qualify for an independent article there would need to be something unusually notable about the soundtrack, resulting in the soundtrack itself being the subject of significant external coverage. For example, 2001, with the rather brave use of Ligeti's Lux Aeterna, has received a lot of attention, and Wendy Carlos' soundtrack for A Clockwork Orange was singular in using synthesised versions of classical pieces. A list of the songs used in the soundtrack of Batman, for example, might be WP:INTERESTING but not actually of any provable encyclopaedic importance. Cruftbane 07:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music Genre(s)

Throughout my editing experience, I have dealt with many music artist articles. I still cringe to see slow edit wars over the music genre(s) a band is categorized under. I have tried to make a solution by listing them under the most general term (ie. Rock), with no success. I have created and witnessed discussions on the artist's talk page about the genre, without much success, coordination, or final decisions either So I have given it a thought and came up with another solution that involves editor concensus:
This would be run in a style similar to Articles for Deletion, except instead of final decisions being, delete, keep or no consensus, you will have music genres. A separate page in the Wikipedia namespace would be established to coordinate a central area to deal with artists with debated music genre classification. If an editor observes a slow edit war over the genre, he can make a notice with a template. A centralized discussion area would be created, and would be open to anyone to try and reach concensus. In the meantime, the music genre of the debated artist would be listed as (debated), and wikilinked to the debate page. If there is a fair consensus reached, the discussion can be closed, and the decision of the music genre(s) would be applied. If an editor feels strongly about another music genre(s) that should (not) be included, another discussion can be setup, and the debating can occur again. Thoughts? -- Reaper X 22:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say this problem affects album articles just as much as band articles. Sounds like a good idea, but I'm concerned that this solution would not help avoid edit wars re-erupting. Assuming editors who change genres will first check the central page to see if this has been previously discussed seems unrealistic. We could leave a comment in the code, but I've seen such comments ignored often enough to not assume that would work well. Perhaps we could "lock" a genre that has previously been decided, but transcluding it from a separate protected resource (for example "Metallica/genre" for "Metallica"), having the infobox code automatically use the value from the separate resource iff it exists. --PEJL 23:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Album articles, yes...I forgot about those, and those could be included. As for your other concern, I don't doubt for a second that people would try and go change that, you've seen many <!-- hidden messages --> be ignored as much as I have, like you said. I just want some consensus and consistency here. Transcluding it is an excellent idea, but that could take alot of work doing that for every artist, and it would probably make for complication. -- Reaper X 00:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Though I sympathize with your pain, we should Wikipedia:Avoid instruction creep. I doubt that this page would have enough listings to be worth the time taken in setting it up. Instead, why not ask here when such an issue comes up to determine consensus? Λυδαcιτγ 03:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music External Links

Hey. John recommended coming to WikiProject Music for some help. Artists House is a free, nonprofit, and education-oriented site. All of its material was created exclusively for the site. I'd like to add some of the video interviews as external links to relevant Wikipedia pages. For example, I'd like to add a video interview with Teo Macero to the Bitches Brew page. Here is the interview. However, if you look at the site, you can see that there are a lot of videos that would be extremely relevant to a lot of pages. Would this be something WikiProject Music would be interested in supporting? Ammosh11 20:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this your own site? If so, you will wish to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and make sure that you are not conflicting with that guideline. Asking about the links before you add them, as you are doing, is a good first step. Λυδαcιτγ 03:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I am affiliated with the site. However, I did read multiple Wikipedia rules and was referred here by a Wikipedia administrator. John let me know that the correct step is to get the links approved by a neutral party, so that's what I'm trying to do. Even though I am affiliated, all the videos were meant for education-oriented uses. The site owns the copyrights of all its material, and it's all free. Plus, the material is reliably sourced material, seeing as the people being interviewed are the people's pages I would be posting on.
John let me know that a WikiProject would be the place to go to get some help with posting some links. What's your take on this? Thanks for your help. Ammosh11 06:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a regular music article editor and I've seen some links to this site. I checked it out once because I often remove external links if they are overly commercial and not really needed. But I did not remove the link because the interview was educational and definately WP:RS. So I looked around the site, and found this:

Funding for the development of Artists House Music has been provided by the Herb Alpert Foundation. The foundation devised the idea for an online, non-profit musicians’ Website where all musicians can receive informational support, guidance, and expert resources to help them navigate the challenges and maximize the opportunities available to them within the music industry.

That's good enough for me. My opinion is that links to that site are completely fine. I did not see any commercial advertising on the site at all.
I'd say, go ahead and include the links and if you run into trouble about it, refer editors to the page with the above quote. If they still don't like the link, you're welcome to contact me on my talk page or refer them to this discussion here.
It would be a good idea to include a footnote or explanation with the link, to indicate what you noted above, "The site owns the copyrights of all its material, and it's all free." You could add that it's a non-profit foundation.
Of course, further opinions are wlecome from other editors here as well.--Parzival418 Hello 06:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your help! Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Ammosh11 06:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I have an objection against the addition of these links by user Ammosh11 or user ahmusic. WP:COI states that link-additions to organisations should be discussed if the user is affiliated with these links. Also, mass additions can be explained as spam, even if the links as such are good. Please discuss the links on the appropriate talkpages, and let them being added by uninvolved editors when consensus is reached. Also, in many cases the links serve their function better as a reference instead of a link in the external links sections (also see WP:EL and WP:NOT). Hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I've now read the various links Dirk has provided and understand the problem better. I have some ideas about how we can come up with a solution that works for everyone and follows all the Wikipedia policies, but I don't have time to write about it now.
In the meantime, I recommend that user Ammosh11 or user ahmusic stop adding the links until we come to a consensus that they are OK and how to reference them. There is no hurry to get them added right away. I do believe the information is valuable, in accordance with policy, and we'll be able to find a consensus on this, but it's important to avoid unintentionally creating a problem that can drag down the process before the consensus is reached.
I also recommend that you read this discussion I found in one of the article Dirk linked in his comment: [70]. That link goes to the page, but to get to the actual text, you need to scroll down and un-hide the collapsed archive with the title: Victoria and Albert Museum (2) – Inactive. Please read that and also the Wikiguides that Dirk linked, so later when I post my suggestions on how we can approach this, you will be familiar with the underlying principles.
In particular, take a look at this section of the article about WP:COI. This may take a while, so please be patient. But also don't worry about it. Your contributions are not simply being rejected, we will continue this discussion. --Parzival418 Hello 21:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the similar questions about Ambient music and New Age music, I suggest that since the discussions will cover similar points, that we address the RFC at Space music first rather than trying to do them all at once.

[edit] What music charts are acceptable?

In WP:MUSIC the charting criterion is "had a charted hit on any national music chart." What exactly qualifies as a "national music chart"? I'm specifically interested in the US, but worldwide would be helpful, too. The reason I ask is there's a "problematic" article that refers to chart hits on Friday Morning Quarterback (link), which I think is more of a radio "tip sheet" for programmers than a solid chart reference (like Billboard). My history is in music retail, not radio so I don't know about FMQB (other than knowing it exists, and has for quite a while). Pondering whether or not charting with FMQB counts toward notability got me wondering about other charts that might be quoted. Especially when they're not easily verifiable (i.e. no online archive of charts). I mean, the criterion explicity states "any" national chart; that seems overly expansive.

I've found this Wikipedia:Record charts not sure if it clears things up though - X201 12:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

This project, a subproject of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles consisting of music entries, was recently marked as inactive.

[edit] Templates seeking approval

I have created a set of music Navboxes, and I'm trying to seek approval. Each one covers a certain genre or category. Now I realize we already have a Template:Navbox musical artist. I feel that one template can't support all genres of musc (suppose if the one template was changed, it would affect all other template, which could be a pain). The templates can be found HERE. I have only created navboxes for "solo hip hop artist", "hip hop groups" (i.e. D12, G-Unit, NWA, etc.), "solo pop singer", "pop group" (i.e. Destiny's Child, NSYNC, etc.), "solo rock singer" (i.e. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, etc.), "rock band", and "other". If there are any other notable genres to be created, I can create it. The more feedback I have on this, the better. MITB LS 14:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
