Compositions[edit]

Could someone explain what the "grade" column in the table of compositions means? Mike Duskis (talk) 02:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For more compositions, check the links on http://www.jamesswearingen.com/works.html. --Superstomper96 (talk) 14:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you or the link. It pointed to the answer to my "grading" question above. I'm considering a complete overhaul of this article. Specifically, I would remove the "compositions" table because it is redundant with Swearingen's web site, contains subjective comments that are inherently opposed to the NPOV, and because keeping it up to date seems both difficult and pointless. I'm also considering digging deeper into Swearingen's biography and career accomplishments, perhaps digging up some criticism. Any comments or objections?
