Clearcutting reference

Hi, in December of last year you made this edit to the clearcutting article, adding the reference directly to the references section. Could I persuade you to add it directly into the body of the text à la WP:CIT? I'd do it myself but I frankly have no idea what material it's supporting (and have no access to academic journals as of late). I'm going to expand on the article but want to clarify all of the current material with references before I proceed, hopefully eliminating any potential problems with WP:GA in the (distant) future. Thanks. Minnecologies (talk) 15:05, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm away at the moment and I don't remember this very well, so I think I'd prefer to leave it to you. I think you understand the problems that existed with this article, and you will have seen my various attempts to get it in order. I'd be happy to look at this again in September if you still have questions then. Regards. --Klein zach 04:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cfd for Category:Non-Western classical music genres

Hi, you replied to the original discussion on this topic, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 May 23#Category:Non-Western classical music genres. In case you would reply to the new one, here it is: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 September 29#Category:Non-Western classical music genres Regards, Munci (talk) 11:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Voice types in role tables

Do we have a policy regarding "Voice type" designations in role tables for specific operas? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that these should be kept to the main categories, such as soprano, mezzo-soprano, and should not be listed as "dramatic soprano", for example, even when the original score lists it as such. --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct. It's explained in the Opera Project guideline on Role tables. Has the issue come up somewhere? Regards. --Klein zach 00:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For Les Troyens, the role of Cassandre is apparently listed as "soprano dramatique" in the score. I read over the policy, and it does not seem totally clear to me. If it's listed in the score that way, maybe it is acceptable to put it in the role table. I'm unsure, so I haven't changed the recent edits. I was considering changing her vocal type to just "soprano", but if Berlioz put it down that way, maybe it is OK? --Robert.Allen (talk) 07:54, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't think so. We are not using French/German etc for voice types, and there is an existing guideline against 'dramatic soprano' and similar (see above). Of course if you (or anyone else) disagrees with the guideline, a change can be proposed to the Opera Project, but maybe you are happy with the current system anyway? I'll have a look at Les Troyens. Thanks. --Klein zach 15:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chart of classical composers

Do you know which article contains that nice chart, in various colors, of the main European classical composers, with their time frames and genres? If so, can you let me know on my Talk page? Thanks a lot. Softlavender (talk) 02:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
