Could you provide details of the permission, and who gave it? Thanks. Secretlondon 02:15, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

But unfortunately, when you(?) added the material, you neglected to cite what you did, so now the article stands almost completely unreferenced. HammerFilmFan (talk) 10:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

felix draeseke pages[edit]

hi - i see you black listed the draeseke entry. i am also the webmaster for the draeseke society; could you please provide the evidence you would like to see? thanks

What we would like is some proof that you do actually have permission - that you are acting on behalf of the society. I'm not saying that I don't believe you - it just that many people claim that they are when caught copying text. I presume that you know that you would be releasing text under the GFDL i.e. not just for Wikipedia, and that it will be edited. I'm sorry this seems difficult but it is to protect everybody.

I've sent an e-mail to the e-mail address given on their web page, asking for confirmation. If I don't get a reply until Aug 9, 2004, I'll delete the article. Lupo 11:14, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

confirmation from the Draeseke Societies regarding permission was sent on 7 Aug.

Yes, I got a reply stating:

Yes. The Wikipedia entry was made with our approval and cooperation. We 
plan to assist in the further editing of the Wikipedia entry so it will 
have unique content. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require 
further information.

I'm removing the copyvio notice now, and I'm going to tell the author (Willpondco) to provide source and licensing information for the image. Lupo 09:55, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Quite entirely offtopic to the preceding, and very subjectively and extremely POV[edit]

(So of course delete if inappropriate even to a talk page!) Just wanted to give my opinion that Draeseke's muse (uneven to be sure) produced wonderful results in his chamber music, string quintets & viola sonatas, particularly. (And I find the melody opening the A major quintet very difficult to forget.) (In his orchestral music I am taken with his 2nd symphony, enjoy the rest I've heard and hope to catch that buzzing fly of a Comica.) Schissel 16:48, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

That's correct, you had no business posting this as the Talk Page is not a Forum. We need discuss only RS's for the improvement of the article.HammerFilmFan (talk) 10:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

There are several NPOV issues in this article. I'll try to deal with them tomorrow. --Toccata quarta (talk) 19:53, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At last it has been done.—Toccata quarta (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article is virtually unreferenced - tagged[edit]

From what I know and have read about the composer, the material is more or less accurate, but when adding material to Wiki articles editors are required to add referenced in-line citations - I've tagged the article and sections for the need for this. I don't have the proper reference material in the local university library to do this properly, so if SME's could please help fix this article ... ? Thanks.
