Stubs

Hi, I want to flag up a couple of articles as stubs. Where do I insert the

text when I am editing the page? Can it just go anywhere? Thank you :) Megs91 (talk) 13:16, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi and welcome. Stub tags go at the bottom of article pages. For classical music you can find a list of them here. Hope that helps. --Kleinzach 22:59, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

helpme on User talk:Megs91/Sandbox

Hey. I removed the helpme-tag from User talk:Megs91/Sandbox as I see it is also posted on this page. If you created User talk:Megs91/Sandbox by accident, it can be removed by an admin as it seems like the page does not have any purpose anymore while the same question is here.  Ilyushka88  talk  17:52, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

My first big edit

{{helpme}}Hi I am wanting to make my first major edit/addition to an article. I have drafted something to develop Charles Hazlewood's current article and it is now in my sandbox. Any feedback from more experience editors would be great. I'd love to know what I have done right and some feedback about what I have done wrong and how to correct it would be great. My draft is here--Megs91 (talk) 17:42, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Meg! Allow me to start off by complimenting you on this great article; truly amazing for your first edit. Sure, it's got a few minor formatting errors, but the rest really makes up for it. I'm impressed! :)

However, I'm not going to let you off that easily. Here are a few things that can still be approved on (although, in my opinion, this is ready to become a real article):

• The "Education and early career" section has a lot of things that need to referenced; for example, the "controversy in the British press", the words of The Times reviewer, and so forth. I'm having difficulty getting sources, because Google keeps shunting my searches to Canada-centric topics.
• Try to avoid phrases that can be seen as biased (for example, in the last paragraph of the "Conductor" section, don't say "known for his pioneering of new work" without references). Instead, more neutral phrases that clearly show that we are attributing the words to an external source (e.g. "The BBC has called Hazlewood an exciting pioneer in his field^[1])
• This is more of a format concern, but place references after the period or punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, not before.

Anyway, there are a few things to work on. Don't put this up quite yet, as I'd like to format it correctly and make it more presentable; we'd also need those sources to move on. Everything else looks great, though! Cheers, m.o.p 18:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
