Welcome!

Hello, Hapless Hero, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Nice to see someone else putting music article on template talk:did you know. Hyacinth 07:30, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

To create a new page you can either make a link to it on an existing page, using these things: "[[" "]]" and then follow the link once you save your edit. OR you can just type: Example/Temp, or whichever. They are not allowed in article namespace, except for special cases such as when a page is locked.

I took orchestra in public middle and high school, and high school music theory I (twice), and one semester as a composition major at the University of Montana([www.umt.edu]), which I hated. I hated high school too, with the exception of my orchestra and theory classes, but at least I felt safe in college. In the summers the HS teacher taught "summer orchestra" and I learned the viola, violin, and bass.

I created Density 21.5 and Lyric Suite (and User:Hyacinth/List of articles created by me#Compositions), but haven't written about many other pieces. To see what a user has done go to their userpage and click User contributions (though I have User:Hyacinth/List of articles created by me).

It would be great to have you writing about individual classical works, it would also be great to have you working on standards for those articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music, Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music, and where ever else is appropriate. Hyacinth 10:39, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, you know J--- Lin right (blanked out for privacy)? I'm a friend of hers. I was looking through Wikipedians in Massachusetts to see people I know, and I saw your username which I've seen before. So... yeah. Interesting.

Yeah, I live really close (like a mile away) to her house.

File source problem with File:Tchaikovsky-Pathetique-Symphony-4mov.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Tchaikovsky-Pathetique-Symphony-4mov.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Author, source, and date should be provided. At the very least, source should be given. Jappalang (talk) 00:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
