Emerson

Hello, Kirk! You're doing a great job on the Ralph Waldo Emerson article. One thing I should ask is regarding the Susan Cheever references. I don't consider the book a reliable source (it has been frequently criticized for its many errors) so if you see it used, feel free to replace it. If you need any help as you go along, feel free to ask me. --Midnightdreary (talk) 10:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I'm not sure if this is how I should reply to you, I'm kind of new to Wikipedia. I was actually planning on replacing them today. I saw that there are only a few, and I'm going to replace them with references from Richardson. I'm doing some serious research on Emerson's life, and seeing the article prompted me to commit myself to improving it. I appreciate your kind words.

One thing I'd be curious is to know how much this article should contain. Obviously, it's more about his life than his works, but I'm not sure of the level of detail necessary. I'm basically going along and correcting or adding to what's there, but I'm hesitant about adding too much. In any case, I'm going to be reading a lot works by and about Emerson in the near future (all the current bios, and his journals and letters), so I'll be adding stuff as I come across it.--Kirkmc (talk) 11:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a perfect place to respond; I intended to check back. You're doing things exactly right so far. If you want some advice in bringing it to what we call "recognized quality" (as in good articles or featured articles, I'd recommend looking at other examples of fellow Transcendentalists. Jones Very is listed as a good article (though it is slight compared to Emerson's story) and Margaret Fuller is a featured article. That should give you an idea of how much detail, how much to cite, etc. I'll continue keeping an eye on the page to see if I can help (though I'm not as active as I once was). --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips. I'll have a look at those articles. Do keep an eye on my changes, and let me know if you have any comments. I have a fair amount of books about Emerson, as well as Thoreau and the Transcendentalists, so I'll be adding as much material as I can. --Kirkmc (talk) 16:11, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PENTATONE vs. Pentatone

Hi there, thanks for your edits to Yakov Kreizberg. You may want to review the style guide at MOS:ALLCAPS which asks editors not to use names (even trademarked names) in all caps. -- 16:44, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to PENTATONE (record label) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

Proposed deletion of Martin Helmchen

Proposed deletion of Martin Helmchen

The article Martin Helmchen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
