Fantastic

Should be a great portal. -- ßottesiηi ^(talk) 23:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• Second that, it's looking very nice already! :-) Madder 12:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

ideas

How about a list of articles for very influential ocmposers or compositions? --Snailey! 21:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Updating

As of now, I am aiming for updating this once a month on the first of every month. If more interest develops, this can certainly happen more frequently. Any user may suggest and discuss content for next month by simply bringing it up on this talk page. I look forward to any and all suggestions, requests, and thoughts people may have. Thanks, Dar-Ape 03:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

So…how do you join?

Anyone may update sections if he or she should feel so inclined, or one may instead choose to bring it up here to discuss first. No membership is necessary, and no formal processes are yet established. Dar-Ape 01:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

However, you can become a member of the Wikipedia Classical Music project by adding {{User WPClassical}} to your userpage, as I have done. ~~MusicalConnoisseur~~ 05:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Update

I thought it was getting a little stale so I updated the selected article and image and added a quote and DYK. -- ßottesiηi ^(talk) 00:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, may I suggest a broader, more accessible intro paragraph? -- ßottesiηi ^(talk) 17:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the updates! I have added a box with the major styles, taken from the French classical music portal. That portal seems quite well done, and I think we could get more ideas from there-- I would suggest changing out picture to theirs (Image:MDLG.jpg). As for a new featured picture, I like Image:ViolinCarving.JPG, but I hesitate to use this right now since we currently already have an article and picture devoted to another string instrument. Any ideas? Finally, yes, I think a rewrite of the first paragraph is in order. Dar-Ape 05:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I changed the opening paragraph a bit. Also, why not spell out "Portal:Classical music" followed by its extension? It may be a bit confusing. There is no need to respond to this. -- Andy W. ^{(talk/contrb.)} 20:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Relieved

Last time I checked back here, the page was...not too pretty. The colors chosen were horrible.

Now, I'm glad to say, someone has come along and covered it with a beautiful skin. Kudos to whoever did it! ~~MusicalConnoisseur~~ Got Classical?

Thanks to WHOMEVER!

Update

The news for this portal obviously needs to be updated--June 2 happened so long ago, mind. Thanks.--~~MusicalConnoisseur~~ Got Classical? 17:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I added Plácido Domingo's records as the biggest repertoire - 130 roles by 27th Nov, 2007. - Jay (talk) 11:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
