Wiki Education assignment: Research Seminar in Digital and Public History

[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 8 January 2024 and 5 May 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Apianostari (article contribs).

This is a great article that has room for improvement. What is there is concise, but there is room for expansion, particularly on piano manufacturing. It seems too heavy on their phonographs and records production. That section should not be cut down - that is important, rather more details on their piano manufacturing should be expanded into a dedicated section instead of only limited to what the history section covers. I also wonder if a comprehensive list of piano brands manufactured could also be helpful for this new section? There also are some citations linked to the Starr Gennett Foundation that no longer work due to changes to their website that need to be updated. I am unsure if the information once cited is still on their website - this needs investigation. Kennedy's book is a foundational resource and it's use has been spot on; however, it could be helpful to consider some citations from Richmond history books and/or books on piano manufacturing that mention the Starr Piano Co. for more variety. I have access to these books and plan to work those in soon. Apianostari (talk) 15:59, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
