Welcome!

Hi Jordandalaun, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice on editing here for students in Prof. Jackson's similar classes at Longy School of Music which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page (User talk:Voceditenore), or place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. When you leave a message here or on any other talk page, be sure to sign it by typing ~~~~ (4 tildes with no spaces between them) at the end. When you click save, the Wikipedia software will automatically convert that show your user name and your talk page (with links to them) as well as the date and time when you signed. WP:SIGN has more about all the ins and outs of that.

You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music and WikiProject Composers. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 06:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Voceditenore!

Thank you so much for your offer in helping me with my wikipedia page for Isaiah's class. I am having an issue with my addition to an already existing page being kept up. It has been taken down by other people on wikipedia, not a speedy deletion or anything. I was hoping you could help me figure out how to keep it up so I can share it with my class. Please let me know what you can do, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you so much for all of your help!

Best,

Hi Jordan. I guess you are referring to this addition to Blonde (Frank Ocean album). One of the main problems with that is that you provided no inline citations to support the assertions, just a few bare urls pasted into the external links section. Secondly, it probably went into too much detail on the issue, including adding personal opinion/evaluation. On the whole, labelling a separate section "Controversy" is deprecated here. It is normally considered better to work the material, succinctly expressed and meticulously referenced, into one of the other sections, in this case, either or "Background" or "Release and promotion". Hope that helps. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 07:06, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

The Teahouse

Me again. I also wanted to let you know about Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
