[edit] Washington Post quote

I searched the Washington Post archive for the quote in the article and could not find it. We need a citation for that and the strad comment. Toddst1 15:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I have hard copies of the article at home. Am out of the country for another week...will put the exact date of the articles when I return home on 12 November 2007. The article was written in 2000. The online Washington Post only searches back through 2006. User: Adean2001 7:47, 4 November 2007

Well, sort of. They're not in the Post archive and you haven't provided a proper wikipedia quote. (see Wikipedia:Citation_templates). Are you quoting an advertisement placed in the Post? Can you give at least an author if not a full citation? Toddst1 16:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wolfgang Sengstschmid

That article is about Wolfgang Sengstschmid. Nowhere is it asserted that these two violinists are the same or the artist changed his name. Moving to talk:

According to the 15 September 2000 edition of the Washington Post, David "scaled the heights of music making."^{[not in citation given]}

Is the Strad article any better? Toddst1 16:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

If you go to this website: http://www.musique.at/meisterkonzerte/index.htm and click on the details beside the concert labeled 20.11 Orchesterkonzert, then read the section beside Wolfgang David's name, you will see that he was formerly called Wolfgang Sengstchmid. Further, I phoned the violinist and spoke with him regarding this issue and he confirmed that he changed his name at the advice of his agent. Please advise as to how it correct this for his Wikipedia page. User: Adean2001 17:00 CST, 26 November 2007

I would add that info to the article and cite it using an inline citation such as:

<ref>{{cite web
  | last =
  | first =
  | authorlink =
  | coauthors =
  | title =
  | work =
  | publisher =
  | date =
  | url =
  | format =
  | doi =
  | accessdate =  }}</ref>

Then add the info above back with a similar citation for the Post:

<ref>{{Citation
  | last =
  | first =
  | author-link =
  | last2 =
  | first2 =
  | author2-link =
  | title =
  | newspaper =
  | pages =
  | year =
  | date =
  | url = }}</ref>

Hope that helps. Toddst1 (talk) 16:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
