Nice ...

... to meet you. Many authors work on this project, and you are relatively new. Regarding Fauré's Requiem (but a general rule): when you are reverted, don't just revert again but take your issue to the article talk, per WP:BRD, designed to avoid edit-wars. This makes sense (to me) for any edit but especially for articles of higher quality. You were reverted (not by me), now it's up to you to find consensus on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I formatted your "bare urls" on the Cantique. When you add to an article, it's a good idea to format your references in the same style as others did before you, - "bare urls" are (rightly) despised, - I consider "title / publisher / accessdate" a minimum, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:03, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to sound like mom but the first rule is AGF, which means "assume good faith". In practice: you are reverted by Nikkimaria? You explore her background, read "I've been around for a while" and check that it means from 2005. You politely ask her why she reverted, assuming good reasons, based on experience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
