Elgar Score - The Spirit of the Lord

Hi John. I've left a reply to your message on my talk page. --Bobnotts talk 07:13, 8 August 2007 (PDT)

BTW I've submitted the final edits of the Elgar. Found 2 wrong notes in Accomp. I'm sure you can find at least one more if you have the time... Best to you !

Pablo Casalsi

Hi John. I notice that you have created this page then marked it for deletion. May I ask why? --Bobnotts talk 07:13, 12 August 2007 (PDT)

In making the page for Pablo Casals I mistyped the page name, and didn't notice the error till I had saved it. The page had the eroneous name of ...Casalsi instead of ...Casals. Any news on when the CPDL management strike will end, and we can get score announcements posted on a daily basis again ?

Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't heard anything, I'm afraid. Chuck does the recent score list and as you've seen, he's not got much free time at the mo. --Bobnotts talk 04:33, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

Last name redirects - check for more than one last name!!!

Hi John,

I just changed your redirect page Harris (pointing to the (unhosted) composer William H. Harris) to point to Harris (disambiguation) which I created, because the hosted composer Cuthbert Harris is already represented at CPDL. I've been trying to chase down other possible composers and/or contributors at CPDL which might have last names coinciding with your last name redirects ... it is a frustrating process, because the last name redirect makes a search for the others very difficult.

Perhaps before creating last name redirects in the future, maybe you could do a search on the last name in question and see whether any other persons (composers, arrangers, editors, lyricists,...) share that last name; if so, then a disambiguation page should be created instead.

Originally, last name redirects were created for the most popular composers, and now it seems to be devolving into a last name redirect for everyone, including unhosted composers. I am not at all sure that last name redirects for unhosted composers are needed, especially if a simple search on the last name will produce the composer page in question. I didn't delete the Harris (redirect) page to try, but I'm guessing that with Harris deleted, a search on Harris would produce both William and Cuthbert.

Maybe I'm way off base here, and if you think this should be discussed in the forums, that's okay with me. Anyway, thanks for putting up new composer pages, even if they are unhosted!! -- Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 02:28, 2 October 2007 (PDT)
