First one: I'd avoid descriptions such as "technically advanced". Actually, it's a pretty basic style that any talented student in a composition course should be able to turn out. Fine for its genre, and a great encore for a band appearance. Superbly performed. Need to listen again properly, but it's probably a support. But let's watch the balance of styles and genres: if there start to be more than a certain number of similar files, stylistically, just because they're lucky enough to be US govt. free, one might start to be choosy.

- I think these are our first circus marches. All other marches are military marches, I believe.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Afraid not, Tony. Troopers Tribunal is a circus march. Still, though, do you have any idea how many composers of marches there are? Tony - I'd best use full nicks - Tony1's advice is somewhat counterproductive, and should probably not be obeyed, since we have hundreds of articles which need sounds. We do not want to hurt Wikipedia just to get more variety in the project meant to encourage improvement of Wikipedia's sound coverage. That is precisely backwards.

  - Afraid not, Cuerden (if you want your put-down returned). Just what this is directed at is unclear: circus march seems to be irrelevant to my comments above. What are you talking about? Your advice appears to be "counterproductive", especially when it is unclear. Who is going to "hurt" WP? Your remarks are offensive. Tony (talk) 03:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Calm down please guys, Tony1 the first line of Adam's statement was directed at TTT (the afraid not and circus march bits), I don't see much harm in adding sounds to articles that don't have any, they add to the article and if they're quality perfs/recordings then all the better. Sure coverage on WP atm is shite (over 80% of sounds are from the "Western" world) but heck aren't we all here to contribute more? With the current increase in participation at FSC we'll more than likely get more promotions this month than FP!!! —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 8:18pm • 10:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
