Sumeria

Oh my god!, and it feels like Sumeria has nothing to do with music!, you can note that Sumerian's relations with music is much older than greek!, clearly this is heavily biased!. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.18.152.150 (talk) 13:33, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of complaining, why don't you supply the research about music in Sumeria so that people can add it to the article? -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:58, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The researcher Valorie Salimpoor, listed in the text of the article, is incorrectly identified as being affiliated with the University of Montreal. In fact, she works at the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University. This can be verified by looking at the published article that the piece refers to; so it should be corrected.

Requested article: history of music

This used to redirect to History of classical music traditions. I've redirected it to the history section of this article, which I believe should serve as the basis of a new article. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 22:37, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the basis of a new article sounds like an interesting idea. The History of Music article would be helpful so we can find information on all the aspects music from the ancient times up to the present. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:17, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. The Hocmt article is a good start, but it deals only with classical music. We need something that summarize it (while covering more than the main music article in its history section), and expand on the history of more modern music at the same time. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:03, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this suggestion. I also want to point out that in the history section, there is a link that says "Main Article: History of music," but the link just takes you back to the same section. By all means, I would love to see a History of Music article, but in the meantime, that link needs to be taken out. 71.58.209.95 (talk) 19:11, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
