reply about tchaikovsky's piano concerto 1
[edit]Dear Zingarase
I received your message about my edit to the page of Tchaikovksy's first piano concerto.
My apologies if I offend some of the house rules of Wikipedia editing, I have no experience at all in this.
The edit I did was in the line which says: "Russian music historian Francis Maes writes that ... " Francis Maes is a musicology professor at Ghent University (Belgium), and has indeed written a book about Russian music history.
The reason I edited this line was to remove an ambiguity. One could erroneously read the sentence as if Maes is a Russian who studies music history. Another reason is that his research is not at all limited to Russian music.
Hence I would replace the sentence by e.g. 'Music historian Francis Maes (Ghent University) writes that ... '
All the best,
Ward

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
[edit]
Hello Zingarese/Archives/2020,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
