{{helpme}} Could some experienced editor explain me how to redirect to a section of an article? I want to create a redirect to the section "High School of Music "Carl Maria von Weber"" of the main article Hochschule für Musik "Carl Maria von Weber". Thank you in advance for your help! --Karljoos (talk) 17:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

That will make the redirect. You can also read more at: Redirects to page sections.If you edit this section you will notice that I used the a link to a section.
You see what the page will look like with this example

Being a part of some teams is not enough, which is kind of the point. There may be a lot of very notable orchestras as a group, but as individual members they do not all warrant articles. WP:Athlete has very specific criteria, for instance, and similarly, individual members of an orchestra need to be notable on their own. The only references in the article right now are primary source articles, and those don't seem to indicate notability to me simply by virtue of inclusion.
That said, I think your edits since then fix my original concern which was that the article didn't indicate how the individual was notable, and like I said, just inclusion in the orchestra wasn't enough by itself. But I trust your judgment that there's more than just that, so I won't pursue this, and I'm sorry for the trouble. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 00:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I've gone and cleaned out the more egregious instances of peacockery and poor referencing to press releases and so forth, but I would appreciate your help and support in enforcing a modicum of neutrality on the article in light of extensive editing by a user with a clear POV and possible COI.

Hi Karljoos,
I saw you undid my change to Francis Xavier, may I ask why? In 1506, Xabier was fully under the Kingdom of Navarre. It was in 1512 when Castile took over Navarre. That classifies Francis as Navarrese, there's no way he can be called Spanish. - Keta (talk) 21:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi there.
Following some {{helpme}} requests from Pianoplonkers (talk · contribs), I investigated recent edits to Steinway Model D-274. I noted your comments about suspected sock-puppeting on the talk page, and I investigated further; I shared your suspicions, so I asked a checkuser to look into it. They confirmed that Rachmaninoffrus (talk · contribs) was a sockpuppet of Pianoplonkers.
Rachmaninoffrus has been blocked indefinitely, and Pianoplonkers has been blocked for 24 hours.
Thank you for highlighting the problem.
If there are any further similar problems, please let me know. Best, Chzz ► 20:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Keep your eyes open, I caught Pianoplonkers (talk · contribs) trying the redirect the Steinway Model D-274 page to his own user page. I reverted it and it now lead to Steinway & Sons.THD3 (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello Karljoos. I retreived some information from corresponding articles on other Wikipedias (i.e. the Japanese Wikipedia). I also use Riley's History of the Viola, etc. I see you are a fellow violist. Best regards, Hrdinský (talk) 05:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Check out the Rubinstein page when you get a chance, I added several citations and made some other changes. Regarding this sentence: "He received international acclaim for his performances of the music of Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms and his championing of the music of Spanish composers", I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. Part of the problem is that it's redundant with a paragraph in the Musical Style section. Also, Rubinstein's repertoire was considerably vast (for example, he recorded a Mozart Concerto in 1931 when that music was not fashionable). So, I propose either deleting the sentence in its entirety, or changing it to say he was acclaimed for his performances of diverse repertoire - or something to that effect. I welcome your suggestions.THD3 (talk) 13:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I am concerned about Rondo Alla Turca (Mozart), an article about a movement of Mozart's (Piano Sonata No. 11). It is a bad article, no sources, no real content etc. The article should be a section in Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart). How can I tag the article for deletion + redirect? The article has existed for a long time with no improvements --Karljoos (talk) 10:56, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
To address your points:
1. The agency page and other webpages that you initially put are not proper, objective 3rd-party references. References are books, journal articles, newspaper articles, radio features, for example, with cited authors and dates that are traceable; in short, publications with no particular vested interest in the subject at hand. However, they are accessible external links, which is why I moved them into the "External links" section. An artist's own agency biography certainly does not qualify as objective, for one.
2. Putting lists of ensembles with whom any conductor (not just Ivor Bolton) has appeared has no meaning, because all guest conductors guest-conduct a variety of orchestras, opera companies and ensembles in their lifetimes. To list all such guest-appearances by any given conductor would take up space that can be devoted to particular achievements that are unique to that conductor or artist, and make all conductor biographies extremely redundant and resembling one another. One example of an exception to that would be if the conductor first appears with "ensemble X", and subsequently is named its chief conductor.
Thanks for the note and for your time, DJRafe (talk) 00:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Please see the response on my talk page.Music43lover (talk) 15:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I have continued to think about the "excessive quotes" problem that you called attention to, and your suggestion to use Wikiquote may be a good solution. I am considering retaining only a representative set of the review extracts and their translations on the article itself, and then providing a link reference to "similar" review extracts that could be placed on Wikiquote. Do you consider this a good approach? By the way, I have been using strictly my own translations of the included review extracts and, of course, including the corresponding original language text in each case. (I have completed only three of them thus far, but plan to do additional ones as the originals become available to me.)
I notice that a user named Augenblick has removed your "resume" banner. I would not have done that myself, but would hope that you would either remove it yourself or provide some guidance as to where you believe that the article was being less than objective. I can see from your background that any advice that you would provide would be of value and, as I am a beginner on Wikipedia, all help is greatly appreciated.Music43lover (talk) 19:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Karljoos - thank you for providing the above specific problem examples, which are very helpful in understanding the nature of your objections. I would like to discuss some possible correction approaches with you at a later time. (I need to pick up my wife at the airport later this morning and can't take the time right now.)
However, I would like to immediately reassure you that I have no knowledge of or known relationship with your suspected "sock puppets" Augenblick09 and Jeunesbarbara. The only change Jeunesbarbara has made to the subject article was to add the Georgian spelling of the Latsabidze's name to the first line, which I thought was a friendly edit and might be useful to somebody. I followed up on her talk page and asked her what method she had used to access a Georgian keyboard, and she provided an answer on her talk page. (I have since found much more efficient methods. I may need to type in some of the Georgian review extracts myself if I can't find an OCR program or get help somewhere.) Augenblick09's contributions to the article have been more numerous, but of a simple and consistent nature. He (or she) added a large number of links to the article, mostly to the names of specific compositions that were mentioned as parts of Latsabidze's past public performances. I thanked him for the contribution on his talk page, although I also pointed out to him that some of these added links seemed redundant, and I removed those additions. I also had to spend some time correcting the method that he used to add the links, which did not properly link to existing Wikipedia articles. I have noticed on your talk page that you have had problems with "sock puppets" before in some of your articles, so perhaps you have some justification in your suspicions. My own more benign reaction was that these individuals were likely two of the many fans of Latsabidze that are just trying to be helpful, although, as I pointed out above, I do not think that removing your "résumé" tag was a helpful or wise act on his part. If these individuals are vandalizing your other articles, I seriously disapprove of such behavior.
Your totally unfounded accusation that I am the same individual as these two others has no basis that I can see, and is highly insulting. I would not personally make such an accusation without some evidence gathered beforehand. You should try to be less accusatory in your correspondence, which is after all a matter of public record. Of course, seeking help from the Wikipedia "management" is totally justified if you feel you are subject to vandalism. I will, on my part, attempt to retain a friendly tone, in the hope that you will continue to provide more useful assistance in the future. Music43lover (talk) 13:05, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for removing the remaining "peacocks" so that the banner can remain off. Music43lover (talk) 15:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree with your recent reversal. Whether Giorgi currently is an American resident or not seems like a minor point to add or debate. He actually has a green card and is here on an approved immigrant visa for permanent residency (not on a student visa). He plans to apply for citizenship as soon as he can and stay here. His approved application was supported by an amazingly long list of testimonials from highly placed educators, performers and other personages in the classical music field, since the justification for the green card was the claimed expectation for Latsabidze to bring future honor to the U.S. through his anticipated activities in classical music composition and performance. Some of the more easily recognizable sources of the testimonials: Ernest Fleishchmann, Jaime Ingram, Juaquin Soriano, Jeanette de Boer, Lev Natochenny, Klaus Kaufmann, Igor Lazko, Sergei Dorensky, George Sava, and many, many more. I suppose that I could put a few dozen of these on PDF's for references and create a whole story about that, but we have enough issues already, so let's let it lie. Music43lover (talk) 15:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Again, I agree totally. Incidentally, despite the rocky start to our collaboration, I do appreciate your contributions to this and other classical music articles and issues on Wikipedia. Anyone that has your evident devotion to fine music and performance is obviously worth my attention, and I hope that you will continue to offer your contributions and criticism. I have written many technical articles in the course of my career in engineering, but have never before attempted an encyclopedic one with its special requirements, so it is a learning process for me, and I appreciate the patience and assistance that this has required from you and others on Wikipedia. Thank you. Music43lover (talk) 22:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about the late reply to your request on the Latsabidze article. Frankly, given the history on that article, it's not worth my time (or yours) to edit it, because the "groupie"/s who can't grasp the concept that Wikipedia is not forum for personal fan-pages will just undo any changes that I make. I am extremely suspicious that one person has obsessively taken it upon him/herself to undo any constructive changes (i.e. toning down) to make the article acceptable. I reiterate what I had said before: the article is terrible, and doesn't even belong on Wikipedia. I don't even know who Giorgi Latsabidze is, and from reading the article, this person has not made enough of an impact on the world of music to be worth an article on wikipedia, IMHO (FWIW). Thanks for reading, DJRafe (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Karljoos, (second try) I think there are still few more external sources to use. You have listed only one in Aleberto Nose's article. I know Alberto Nose in person, and know about him quite a few things. I think you offended me by saying that I only edited Giorgi Latsbaidze's Article because I have started editing Lazar Berman's, Yundi Li's and still plan to continue. I am originally from Japan, I am a pianist too. I studied with Mr. Berman and Arie Vardi, teacher of Yundi Li in Hannover. I was quite successful but not like Yundi Li. I know Giorgi too since he got his degree in Hannover and additional to that I went to his concert in Berlin and I will not forget that. Finally, Wikipedia is a new think for me (i just started) and I know no one is perfect here. Please excuse me if I did something wrong, however, I would like to ask you to be more polite. I see you got a doctoral degree in violin? Congratulations!!!-- Jeunesbarbara (talk) 16:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeunesbarbara (talk • contribs)
Well Mr. Karljoos. I don't have and need to prove anything here. I dedicated all my life to music and people I 've been working with know about this. The fact that I have studied with some great teachers and not only study but met wonderful musicians remain truth. I don't have to explain you why, where, who..ect... By the way your article about Richard McMahon way too short. I have added some info there. Overall, you have done some interesting work in wiki as I see, but don't act like an expert here. Your last writing is still unfriendly: "I count six external sources and one external link. How's this article not sourced??????" I must say that if you remain unfriendly and not respectful I will ask administrator of Wikipedia to put a tag on your user name, because it's unacceptable correspondence in here and violates Wikipedia policy.Thanks! Jeunesbarbara (talk) 01:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Oh well, thanks for letting me know the link:Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts although I knew how to do that. Please try to improve your Richard McMahon article. It still needs more polishing. I got a message from Music43lover He seems very unhappy and discouraged from the correspondence with you. Please be respectful to your colleges. I am a professional musician who knows something about classical music and especially have a quite knowledge in the piano field. I see there are some other articles you have created and they need a better work (from my point of view). Now, before you start judging me or someone else, first look at the article like Richard McMahon's you have created (before I added) and ask yourself if you are qualifying to be a good adviser. Moreover, you don't have to be offensive to someone. I still want to remain friendly to you and thank you for understanding. Please remember that being a good editor requires certain skills and I think you have a potential to be a good editor, but before that you need to change your attitude my dear friend!Thank you and bye Jeunesbarbara (talk) 03:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your recent edit at Alicia de Larrocha which added the template {{Spanish name 2}} (which BTW is a REDIRECT to {{Spanish name}}):
I'm not overly familiar with Spanish family names, but after reading up on it at Spanish naming customs, I believe your usage is not quite correct. As I understand it, her first family name is LARROCHA or possibly DE LARROCHA (but the DEFAULTSORT should be "Larrocha" in any case), and her second family name is CALLE or possibly DE LA CALLE, but not, as you specied it Y DE LA CALLE.

Hello. It appears from the edits listed here that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence a aeries of discussions at WP:CFD (including Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#Category:Prize-winners of the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#category:Prize-winners of the Paloma O'Shea Piano Competition, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#Category:Operalia, #Category:Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#Category:Prize-winners of the Besançon Conducting Competition).
While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear friend. Regarding Jordi Savall, do you personally know him? My father does. And be sure Jordi Savall will be proud to say he is Catalan. Why don't you ask him? Regarding wikipedia articles, Catalan is a valid adjective that can be used for any person from Catalonia and who is proud of that. The fact it is not an official nationality is already reflected when we accept to keep "Spain" as the birth place. Maybe this is not important for you, and you are tired of national discussions, but it is important for many other persons. Please be kind to understand it. --Jordiferrer (talk) 13:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Are you at this article to deal with the GA review? Or is it just coincidence that you have passed this way. I'm having a look to see how much work it aill be to save as a GA. a partner in this work would be much appreciated.--Peter cohen (talk) 23:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
You tagged Jose de Sousa Campos for speedy deletion as {{db-a2}}. I removed the tag because the only time {{db-a2}} can be used is if the article is "a foreign-language article that exists on another Wikimedia project", which this one isn't. I will replace the article with an English translation. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:55, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Check out Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Steinway_D-274, if interested. Binksternet (talk) 23:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello Karljoos - I see that you've aready added two more articles to Category:Concertmasters, which I just created a couple of hours ago. (Long overdue -- I'm amazed that nobody had thought to create it before now!) I just read your User page and saw that you are interested in conductors, so it occurs to me that you might want to have a look at this CFD on renaming Category:Conductors, where I've just made an alternate proposal - no canvassing implied! :) Regards, Cgingold (talk) 13:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
{{helpme}}I would be grateful if an experience editor or administrator could have a look at the following templates: Template:Purveyors to the Russian imperial family and Template:Purveyors to the Imperial and Royal Court. As it is normal, there’re no sources in the template. Royal Warrant#Purveyors to the Imperial and Royal Court (of Austria-Hungary) (k.u.k. Hoflieferant) and Royal Warrant#Purveyors to the Russian imperial family have also no sources (I researched and I couldn’t find anything). I am concerned because both templates were started by an editor known for promoting a brand (which has been included both in Royal Warrant and the template), which has lead some editors, including myself to suspect a COI. In my opinion these templates have been created (once more) only to promote the name of the brand. What should I do? Where should I take this problem?--Karljoos (talk) 22:19, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
I notice that you have proposed the deletion of this entry for a very self effacing, brilliant chemist.I have known Chris for many decades, initially in the pharmaceutical chemistry field and latterly in industrial chemistry. I asked him to write a short piece explaining some of the more important work that he has done which has a significant contribution to ensuring we live in a clean world. Chris has always worked quietly in the background and generally has an aversion to any self-seeking or publicity of any sort. It is interesting that a person such as yourself seeks to eradicate any mention of him or his contribution to world science. He will be quite pleased to have his entry removed as he finds any acknowledgement of his talent an embarrassment. You say there is no mention of him or his work on search engines - I'm not surprised as this is quite deliberate on his part. If, however, you were involved in his area of expertise in either Europe or USA, you would find he is very well known indeed. It is true that he is not well liked either in Government circles (because of his work with Biofuels) or with Greenpeace and the like, who don't want power stations cleaned up they just want them all shut down. All of this is another subject and one on which he doesn't want to be drawn. I now have a different opinion of Wikipedia as it seems to be at the mercy of any radical who wants to suppress information that he or she doesn't agree with. A very sad situation. Geekiep (talk) 19:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I will think twice, but only because it seems to be futile. Silly me, obviously if Chris or I need to formulate a new biofuel or solve a complex chemical problem we should be talking to a violin player !! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekiep (talk • contribs) 15:02, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh dear, touched a sore nerve did we. Yes I do know the difference between a viola and a violin, I often chat to the guy who plays one, very well, in the underground station. I also have a PhD in sociology as well as one in Chemistry (which I can also spell) and qualifications in science subjects you probably wouldn't even be able to pronounce let alone understand. I'm sure the problems of the world will be solved by a fiddle player (or was that what Nero was doing when Rome burned ?) Don't worry I woun't be "harrasing" you again as you are of no consequence - play on, what the world needs is yet another musician.Geekiep (talk) 17:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, just a quick note. As you may have noticed, my talk page is often very busy, and I have to frequently archive things to keen sane. My feedback on Templates, Steinway and Warrants is now in User talk:Chzz/Archive 19. Please do let me know if/when you'd like more tips or anything. Best, Chzz ► 06:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
The block on User:Fanoftheworld has been lifted and he's been changing some infoboxes for classical and popular pianists to show the Steinway brand name as a "notable insturment." I have read the applicable template and I believe that adding the brand name is out of scope. User:Fanoftheworld has stated that it's justified as "custom musical instruments with which the artist is strongly associated". I don't think of a Steinway grand piano as a custom instrument, unless it has been "customized" in some way (like special color, or other unique characteristic). What's your opinion?THD3 (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

"they aren't notable enough for the list since they're not notable enough for their own article" - so you say. I am filling red links but can only fill them if they are there. The names you removed from the Weimar Hochschule (just an example) of course have an article in de-WP, just not (yet) in en-WP. Most of the winners of the Rheingau Musikpreis of the Rheingau Musik Festival (another example) have an article in German, not as many in English (yet). I would prefer to keep them - and others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Karljoos,
While I was here, I notice that your talk page is quite long. Would you like me to set it up to automatically archive, with a box at the top showing the archive? If so, just let me know (here), after how many days of no new messages would you like sections to be archived - after 30 days? 60 days? Whatever. (Or if you don't want it, that's fine too!) Chzz ► 14:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Chzz,Thank you for the offer. 60 days sounds fine. Thank you very much for your help with this and for all the times you've helped me!--Karljoos (talk) 00:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I removed your prod. This must be the one of the two most famous departments of music composition in the United States. If you must, send it to AfD or suggest a merger. Bearian (talk) 21:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi there.
I'm glad you got the problem sorted, and thanks for letting me know.
In future, I suggest either filing a sock-puppet investigation WP:SPI or failing all that fuss, a quick post to WP:ANI with a mention of the previous incidents.
You might take comfort in the fact that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" (a quote from Charles Caleb Colton, apparently).
I'm taking a break from Wikipedia, so sorry I was not around to respond more directly and promptly. Best of luck with everything, Chzz ► 18:28, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
User:Goagainagain is new user who bears watching. If there's any evidence he's a sockpuppet for you-know-who, he should be immediately reported.THD3 (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
I am not active on wikipedia anymore, but I just noticed that the article is back to its "old" style (the fanoftheworld style). I think, based on the kind of articles edited by the user, that the new major editor of this article (User:Peoplefromarizona) is a puppet of banned user User:fanoftheworld (who has continued editing the same article using User:Rerumirf and other accounts). Best.--Karljoos (talk) 12:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
