Newsbank article citation[edit]

For citation 3, you need to give more information about the Newsbank article. Date, title, link, etc. Dorianjay (talk) 18:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that was a placeholder before I could find the source at Harvard. It's in there now. Haaklikebird (talk) 00:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some Thoughts[edit]

Nice job so far @Haaklikebird. Some thoughts:

I changed the opening to "American"; WP identifies people primarily by their Nationality, not by their race. MLK, for instance, has just "American".
Its a bit light on linking at the moment; things like Snowhill, Alabama or 365th Infantry should be linked (many more examples throughout)
Family Search is not a reliable source (see WP:RS)
It looks like Eva Beatrice Dykes was among his students (cited in 196–197 here. So was Sylvia Olden Lee (cited here; I'd definitely include both. Any other students that could be mentioned?
On WP, songs are in quotes, e.g. "Death of an Old Seaman". Song cycles are italicized.
Any ref to cite his full name?

Keep up the good work! Aza24 (talk) 05:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Re some sources, I'm admittedly reusing a little bit of work I did a couple years ago and no longer have the same access to those sources, but I can find them. I think the Snowhill, AL should be cited within the references that I do have (I'll make sure that's more clear), but the 365th might be more difficult since I'm pretty sure I originally go that from a draft card or WWI record of some kind. I'll definitely add Eva Beatrice Dykes and Sylvia Olden Lee, I've seen them pop up and I think I could find more students. His full name would be in a birth record, since after 1914ish he always went by his middle name (I've been guessing since there's another Charles Cohen composer/pianist that was a contemporary?? but that's just speculation).

Thanks again for the feedback!! Haaklikebird (talk) 16:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
