Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! -- Siobhan Hansa 21:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Simon Birch. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Thank you. -- Siobhan Hansa 21:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I had no intention of uploading anything with advertising. I now realise that there were some very anoying pop-up windows which I had not realised that my provider was still adding to some of my pages. I have contacted my provider and have now removed all of these. I didn't want them either, but didn't see them, as I usually block pop-up windows. Sorry for any inconvenience! The only reason that I added a personal link was because my father took a very small part in the film "Simon Birch" and has not received any credits anywhere for this - which I felt was a pity.

Umlaut

i assume it was you who put the umlaut where it belongs in ensemble fur fruhe musik augsburg. how does one do an umlaut in the wikipedia system? Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did! I have a Mac and type: alt with u then another u. Mac also allows you to switch between keyboard language layouts. I don't know how to do this with a PC unless. I don't know if Wikipedia has a system for foreign signs etc. I'll look around and get back to you! bw, Edmund--Ebrownless (talk) 01:34, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found it! Below the buttons which you click to upload your edits, there is a popup which says "Insert". Click on Latin and you will then see all the French, German etc. signs...--Ebrownless (talk) 01:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Claus Kühnl

Hi Ebrownless. Thank you for contributing an article on the composer Claus Kühnl; Thisn article is a direct translation from an article in the german Wikipedia, please make absolutely sure that you add the attribution in the correct manner to the article talk page. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 12:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC) PS: you'll find the instructions here: Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate[reply]

Hi Kudpung. Yes, I had intended to do that. Most of the original German text was written by a student of CK in Frankfurt and I will be getting the name and title of the work shortly and adding it to both the German and English articles, as our main source.--Ebrownless (talk) 12:59, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Rudolf Klein

Hi Ebrownless, Many thanks for your corrections which I appreciated. If you like please have a look at the articles Alois Kottmann of Hoch Conservatory and Alois Kottmann Award. Due to the international award both are meant as basic content for translations in other languages. Thanks in advance. My kindest regards ArcCan (talk) 19:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ArcCan, yes, I'll look at them soon...thanks for doing the articles on Klein and Kottmann...their bios were needed here at Wiki...we hope to do a birthday concert for Klein next year! Do you know them both too? --Ebrownless (talk) 07:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, The planned concert for Klein is a very fine idea. – I didn't know Klein personally but am in personal contact with Kottmann. My granddad was a classical singer and professor at music universities in Mainz and Frankfurt, my grandmom was a classical singer, my dad had attended Hoch Con and was a jazz musician. A friend of my granddad which I also knew personally was chant lecturer at the Con between 1959 and the 1970s. – On Oct 30 the Kottmann award will be handed over in city hall by Frankfurt mayor Roth where I will try to get documentary pictures for the award article if the official protocol of the city allows. – By the way, it might be of interest for you that I also did these new articles Herbie Hess (former student of the Con) and Ernst Gerold Schramm (classical singer).

Primefac (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello primefac, thank you for your message. Richard Hey Lloyd was an internationally renowned composer. His works have been published by many of the well-known international publishers of music. Many of them have been recorded on CDs for the main recording labels. I put the article on Richard Lloyd together many years ago based mostly on information given to me by the composer himself. I knew him since 1966 and since to wrote this article no information in it has ever been challenged. Indeed, the article has been quoted and reused many times. There are references to it all over the internet. The article is important as he was too old to ever have had his own internet site. I will do my best to add sources etc. for the information in the article. This won't be easy as you have already erased so much of the article recently. There are very many obituaries now for Richard Lloyd - not, as you state, just three. If the article will be erased there will be a huge outrage. Please be patient! Many thanks!

Joseph Purcell

Hi,

Your article on Joseph Purcell has a strong chance of being deleted. Every source is from a website dedicated to him. Those will be seen as primary sources and the article will likely be put up for deletion because of it.

Try to see if there's any articles about him from mainstream media outlets, books that aren't affiliated with him or other websites that are not affiliated with him. If this article gets deleted too many times, they will eventually vote to SALT it so it can't be made again.

Thanks KatoKungLee (talk) 21:41, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. I will revise all the references and also do more research to find some more sources. It will take a couple of days. It is not easy - he is such a famous artist, but there aren't many websites about him. I will be looking for books etc. Ebrownless (talk) 15:25, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
