Working on a biography for Yuka Kitamura
[edit]I'm currently working on a biography for video game composer Yuka Kitamura (draft located at Draft:Yuka Kitamura). It's in its very early stages right now, but I figured that this draft might be of interest to this WikiProject. Feel free to contribute if you want to, but there's of course no obligation to. Thanks, /home/gracen/ (yell at me here) 21:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Best Practices
[edit]Is it possible to include this group's Infobox policy in the header that appears on composers' Talk pages? A simple template like the one for controversial articles could ask editors to seek consensus before creating an Infobox. Trumpetrep (talk) 17:18, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Usually the articles have a hidden notice where an infobox would be, which is more obvious. Would you consult a talk page before editing and article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Given how frequently reversions of Infoboxes occur, the hidden text does not seem to be doing the trick. Trumpetrep (talk) 01:48, 29 November 2024 (UTC) (Yes, I almost always check a talk page before I dive into an article that's well-maintained in order to see if the issue I've noticed has been discussed.)
Project members may wish to assist this article in passing a draft review (it failed). Here is the subject's entry in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography so the subject is clearly notable. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:14, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
As I am working on a new article for another composer in the Netherlands, the article for Thanasis Deligiannis has been waiting for about 8 weeks for a review. Would a reviewer help speeding it up? Kamien Case (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Kamien Case, I do not have time to formally reveiew, but there are a lot of formatting errors that should be adjusted:
- Opening name should be bolded (use tripple quotes ''' on both sides of the name).
- Do not include birthplace in the opening parentheses.
- Wikipedia articles always work in a chronological fashion
- The career section should be in opposite order, starting with older events, ending with recent
- The works list should also be in chronological order
- Publication titles should be italicized
- Everything should be cited. Lines such as "Deligiannis has been active as a transdisciplinary artist, director, composer, sound designer and performer in Europe, Asia and North America." are not cited at the moment.
- Citations should always be after punctuation
- citations are generally at the end of sentences, so the Goebbels citation should be later in the sentence. This happens elsewhere
- Do not use hyphens between date ranges, use en dashes (–)
- "transdisciplinary artist" is a vague term that does not inform readers. Prioritize his chief reknown, is he better known as a composer or stage director? One of those titles should take priority.
- Your citations all need to have a website or publisher listed
- Discogs is not a reliable source
- The difference between the biography and career sections is not clear. It would be better to interweave them
- Give a translated title for ref names in Greek (in {{cite web}} use trans-title=)
- This is not exhaustive, but just a sampling of issues. You need to look at other, more polished, Wikipedia articles as models. If you fix these kinds of things, reviewers will be more willing to review this article. Since it is currently missing some basic standards, its off-putting for potential reviewers.
