Special:Version

Why doesn't the composer's given name show?

Summary: du Caurroy does not appear under D in composers section because lowercase d is sorted after capital Z. Includes how to fix.

Outdated: CPDL Projects I'm Interested in Working On

But please feel free to race me to any of these:

• Transferring Requested_articles into Category:Requests_by_composer
• Gathering translations
  • I've asked a retired classics professor I know if he can provide some Latin-to-English translations for pieces missing that information as listed at Category:English_translation_requests (see also Category:Text requests for Latin pieces that could stand to have their Latin text and then a Translation request added)
• Category:Unknown_nationality
• Suggestion from Bobnotts (paraphrased for my to-do list from his talk page: help update score pages with templates.
  • familiarise myself with all the templates listed here and here
  • Review recent edits which incorporate the new templates. These are the sort of "template update" edits that would be most useful, so that scores are categorised as a cappella, or as having piano accompaniment, or in English, or by William Byrd, for example.
    • [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]
      ***Or fix pages that don't use when pointing externally but not directly to a file. These pages is a good set to start checking.
  • Where possible, convert these to instructions that can be posted to the volunteers page.
• Anther place I've been finding clean-up tasks: Category:Pages_awaiting_cleanup
• I haven't yet learned to create new pages for scores and composers and uploading new editions, but am reading through the documentation--several people said they're meaning to add scores, so maybe I can do this for them.
• Rafael Ornes meant to do the following. See if I can figure it out:
  • overhaul the Requests page (merely figure out something to propose first to ensure there is agreement)
  • fix broken categories, most in Category:Unknown
    • I am unqualified--see if I can get one of the musicologists I know to volunteer
• ChoralWiki:Privacy_policy is blank

• • text of California's Online Privacy Protection Act, effective July 1 2004; and a summary
