Greetings Dr. Judd! I just sent you an e-mail regarding the Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno, and that excellent piece by Anne Walters Robertson in the Fall '06 issue. Very best wishes, and a quite belated welcome to Wikipedia since I see you have been an editor since 2005! Antandrus (talk) 18:13, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Antandrus for your musical contributions to Wikipedia, and apologies for missing the authorship of the Striggio! I'll rectify that now. Judd 18:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Jonathan Bellman[edit]

A tag has been placed on Jonathan Bellman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. – Tivedshambo (talk) 20:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC) on the User Talk page of the author.[reply]

Thanks Tivedshambo for undoing the speedy deletion tag. -- Judd 21:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gaston Allaire[edit]

Several months ago you added a death date for Gaston Allaire to his article. Please be aware that per our biographies of living persons policy, contentious facts about a person (such as the fact that they are dead) need to have a citation. I have been unable to verify the death and have removed the information; please make sure in the future to reference reliable sources when adding potentially contentious information to biographies. –Grondemar 21:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing you, Robert Judd[edit]

This Wikipedian is deceased. Respectful comments of remembrance may be left below.

Robert Judd was executive director of the American Musicological Society for decades, where he successfully steered the society into the 21st century (and all the new technologies, changes in music scholarship and focus, that went along with it). He was early in understanding what Wikipedia could mean for quickly advancing scholarship on music. After his death and a major fundraising effort among AMS members, all successors to his position are the Robert F. Judd Executive Director, funded in perpetuity. He died in August 2019, and would have had a warm smile but probably inwardly groaning at how I screwed up what would have been his careful program production of the AMS 2019 Boston annual meeting.
