Organ repertoire timeline
It's a template - you can edit it here: Template:Timeline Organ Composers. There is sort of a timeline coding language, so we will be able to make separate timelines for each of the sub-pages of organ repertoire that we will probably need to create eventually. --Sesquialtera II 03:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
small organs
Hey Jonathan - I was wondering if you could take a look at portative organ and positive organ. They are a little bit cumbersome right now. Makemi was hoping we could clear it up a little. -Sesquialtera II 17:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Organ
Would you be interested in joining/starting an Organ project? I have found a Pipe organ/refactor project but it doesn't seem to do a lot. There seems to be lots of work that needs doing, not just to the instrument pages, but also to composers/works etc.
Best,

Hi,
Wikipedia:WikiProject PipeOrgan has now been created. Feel free to assist in the creation of the project page, and then we can get started!
Best,
[[Organ pipe]], [[Organ stop]] and [[Pipe organ]]
Hi,
Would you mind taking a look at the Organ pipe and Organ stop articles?
Do you think that they add any information that isn't in the really good Pipe organ? I would assume that the point of more specific articles is to be more specific! These look really poor in comparison.
If I was to be brave, I would suggest merging the pair of them into Pipe organ. What do you think?
Best wishes,

DEFAULTSORT of categories
Hi - just thought I'd point out that when you added the "Classical organists" category to Arthur Poister, you removed the "Poister, Arthur" from the "American organists" category. This had the unfortunate effect of including him in that category under "A" rather than "P". I've discovered the benefits of using the

Dom Bedos
I noticed you corrected all of the spellings for Dom Bedos de Celles in pipe organ, there were a lot of inconsistencies there! I'm not sure there is an acute on it however, looking at a quick google search anyway! Have you got it printed somewhere? How's your French: Fr:Dom Bedos de Celles...! We actually need an article to pass FA (as red links count against). Either that or we unlink it for the time. I might create a stub or something at some point.
–MDCollins (talk) 22:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
:Indeed, I did correct those spellings… The accent aigu comes from the spelling given in the Cambridge Companion to the Organ (index and two essays). The Grove Dictionary gives an article heading of "Bédos [Bedos] de Celles, François". Before these sources, I'd never seen it spelled with the accent. I'm inclined to go with Grove, because they're more or less the last word on music. Are we allowed to wikilink his name to the French Wikipedia? In the future, an article on Dom Bédos in the English Wikipedia would certainly be helpful. —Cor anglais 16 23:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
:Don't know about the French link, I'll look into it. I'd guess probably not, so maybe a short stub in English with the usual inter-language links would probably be better. The day after I posted that, I saw it myself with an accent in an "Organists Review" magazine, and if Grove and the Cam Com agree, who am I to argue??!!
:Good work on the article, I'm trying to catch up after my little break.
Referencing - Pipe organ
Good work on the construction referencing. I've been looking into the various systems of referencing and at other FAs, and have simplified your references from the Cam Comp. I have moved the bulk of the citation to "References" (your Works Cited) - the place for the full citation, the footnote containing the author and page (and date if necessary). I'm not sure whether the weblinks can be simplified or moved, but think its ok at the moment.
The Bibliography section is now for further printed reading, obviously with the websites in External Links. In case I have got this wrong, I've asked User:Jayron32 who brought this up at peer review for his thoughts and assistance.
[[Sonata on the 94th Psalm]]
Hello. I've just written this article on the sonata by Julius Reubke. I found you through the project: Pipe Organ. Do you have this piece of music in your repertoire? I wonder if you would consider making a recording that we could put on the page? It would be an excellent addition to Wikipedia and make the article complete. Thanks for considering. I have also contacted a few others who listed that they were a good organist, who were listed on the pipe organ project page, so if someone notifies me that they are able to do it, I will let you know. Thanks. Clavecin 12:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Wikibooks
Hey,
Recently I've come to think that writing a course on organ playing would be an invaluable contribution to the resources available in the Wiki network. See: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Subject:Music
The Wikibooks project, at least for music, seems to be in a far earlier stage than Wikipedia, but I am envisioning great things for it, as far as we could contribute. Let's take a specific topic, for instance: the playing of a Baroque fugue subject. We could outline general principles, such as the articulation and the weights of each subdivision - for instance, the Boe system where beats are 1 3 2 4, in order of strongest to weakest. The best part would be augmenting the article with practical examples from brief recordings we could make, not only of the subject by itself but then in context with other voices. I also feel that this would be invaluable to us in developing a comprehensive teaching system for our (likely) future students.
I think we would then be able to make this significantly known to the Web. A prominent external link on Organ (music), Pipe organ, Organist, etc. would draw in the casual crowd, and boost search results; I also think we should submit an article to the AGO and the Diapason about the project once it's sufficiently advanced to release to our national colleagues for their evaluation. That would spread the word in the organ world; they should recognize that nothing replaces an actual student-teacher relationship, and that this would be a valuable free supplemental resource.
What do you think? I envision this almost as a version of Gleason with audio samples. —Sesquialtera II (talk) 21:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
: Also, I imagine that school will keep me busy enough to prevent me from really completing the project, so the bulk of the actual work seems likely to occur in the summer, unless I acquire more time than I anticipate having. This wouldn't be an immediate project. —Sesquialtera II (talk) 01:17, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::Wow, this sounds really cool! I'm up for it. I will check out Wikibooks soon and see what it's all about. This is exciting! —Cor anglais 16 18:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::I agree; this sounds like a great idea. I'll be glad to help out where I can.

Pedal keyboard
Hi, In the discussion section of the Pedal keyboard, you indicated that you would rather not have so much discussion of jazz organ. One of the unusual aspects about Wikipedia articles is that they are much more interdisciplinary and wide-ranging than articles in standard print encylopedias. I would imagine that the article on Pedal Keyboard in the Grove's dictionary spends 99% of its time discussing the use of the pedal keyboard in art music, with perhaps a passing mention of their use in pop and jazz (if at all)...............................................This reflects the Grove's dictionary's decision to focus on art music. However, Wikipedia doesn't have any pre-set limitation like this. So the Pedal keyboard article includes a discussion of the use of the pedal keyboard in art music, jazz, and pop......................................................I have been in your position, though, too. In the article on the history of the preparations that the UK made to defend itself from a amphibious sea invasion during WWII, there is a "Counterfactual" section which speculates on whether the land defenses would have been able to resist a Nazi attack. I criticized the inclusion of this "counterfactual" section, on the grounds that professional historians rarely discuss "what might have happened if..." The article's main editors argued that Wikipedia includes a wider range of sources than just mainstream professional historians..........................................Now this all being said, I think that we could have 2 separate articles: Pedal keyboard (pipe organ), Pedal keyboard (jazz organ), if you think this would be useful.Nazamo (talk) 17:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:Sounds good to me. I didn't know that the pedal keyboard really had a great deal of usage differently in jazz than it does in classical music... plays the bass line, etc. Technique, I suppose, is different. I kind of regarded it as those sections on the bottom of Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Organ (music), where people simply list random sightings of the T&F and the organ in popular culture, which is pretty much useless. Two articles doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, as long as there's enough information on both subjects. We should propose it on the WikiProject Pipe Organ pages. —Cor anglais 16 17:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
::Yes, it would be interesting to see if other editors think that having two articles would be useful. I take a more intermediate view of the pop culture trivia sections. Let us consider the T&F. I agree with you that it is useless to have a list of every single animé cartoon, Disney cartoon, Seinfeld episode, etc, that contains one or 2 bars of the opening. However, I think that when an entire episode, movie, or short story is based on the work, it is useful to note. Let us say that there is a movie about a teen who strives to learn the T&F without a teacher, and so the T&F is interwoven throughout the movie. That would be useful to note. Or if there is a avant-garde album in which every song is based on excerpts from the T&F (retrograde inversions, etc), that would be interesting. What I do when I come to those lists is I pick out the four or so examples where the piece/song/etc is a core part of the pop culture item in question, and erase the rest...................On another side note, it is touching that 15 year olds reading Manga comics and watching Animé are aware of art music enough to note that the authors are making references to symphony X or Tone Poem Y! : ) Nazamo (talk) 17:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the explanation... agreed in all cases here!—Cor anglais 16 00:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Organ FA nomination
Copyedit request please!
The article Croatia national football team has recently been greatly increased in quality. There have been discussions to nominate it for a FA. However, some areas really need a quick copyedit. Nothing really major, there are just some minor grammar and wording mistakes that really could do with assistance. Would really appreciate it.
The lead section is currently good, as it has been already reviewed a few times. The main sections in need of copyediting are the '1990's' History section, 'Records' section and 'Stadium' section. Again, would really appreciate if you would assist in this. Hope to hear from you! Domiy (talk) 23:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Pipe organ
Hi,
Good work with the Pipe organ article. I'll try and help out at the FAC as much as I can. I've sent out a call for assistance to all of the participants of WP:PO in an attempt to try and get some people to help take the burden away from thee and me to address all of the concerns. It's a bit of a slog otherwise! This article will pass (even if it is eventually!).
–MDCollins (talk) 00:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:Hi again,
:Reference 4 seems to be what has been left from a string of references to Cook. I seem to remember it was an organ history website. All of it's buddies have been removed (presumably by you to replace them with more reliable ones). However, this one remains, but the full reference has also disappeared, meaning that as a reference it is now pretty useless. Can you replace that one as well? I seem to be getting nowhere fast with these refs, due to not having much printed material to hand - the web is pretty useless for what we need isn't it.
Keep up the good work! –MDCollins (talk) 01:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
::Hi… I'm familiar with the Cook website. Good resource and lots of personal insight, but it's simply not a reliable source. I thought I got rid of all of them, but I'll look into that last one. Thanks for all your hard work! —Cor anglais 16 15:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
[[Stanford Memorial Church]]
Cor anglais 16, would you mind looking at this article, specifically the "Organs" section? I would like to bring this to FA. I'm sure that after you read it, it'll be apparent that this section was written by a non-musician. (That would be me.) I'd like to get an expert's opinion (which from your user page, that would be you) and bring the prose up to snuff. Or at least have it sound like the editors knew what the heck they were talking about. (Which I don't, not about organs, anyway.) Thanks in advance for your help. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 07:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:Hi… glad to help. I'll look at it probably this weekend. —Cor anglais 16 12:01, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::Cor, not to be pushy or anything, and I'm sure you're busy, but I wanted to remind you about this. There's no hurry; I just completed addressing a reviewer's comments. Up next is to submit it for a copyedit, but I wanted to make sure we got your expertise on this section. Thanks again. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 18:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Oh goodness, and it's already been two weeks. Sorry about that! I'll take a look Tuesday evening. —Cor anglais 16 02:54, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::::And you did it on Monday evening! ;) Thanks so much. I understand the section so much less now! But that's only because I'm stupid when it comes to organs. ;) Seriously, it now reads like it was written by someone who knows the subject. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 15:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Glad to help; however, I'm disappointed that it's not understandable. The wikilinked articles should help any reader who would like a more comprehensive understanding of organ terminology, but I imagine FAC will want the vocabulary to be somewhat familiar to everyone. I'll make just a couple more quick revisions and links; the goal is for it to be understandable. —Cor anglais 16 16:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::No, I was kidding! I think you did a great job. Like you said, the links are there for folks to look at if they don't understand the terminology. I don't think that this article is a place to define the terms, especially since the topic is pretty technical. And that's okay; I just wanted the prose to be expert-driven. Thanks again. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Pipe organ GA Sweeps: On Hold
I have reviewed Pipe organ for GA Sweeps to determine if it still qualifies as a Good Article. In reviewing the article I have found several issues, which I have detailed here. Since you are a main contributor of the article (determined based on [http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/wppagehiststat.pl this tool]), I figured you would be interested in contributing to further improve the article. Please comment there to help the article maintain its GA status. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

[[Nobel Prize]] help
Hey! I found you on the "Guild of Copy Editors" page. I am currently working on the Nobel Prize article and I am going to nominate it for a GA soon, hopefully before the end of this week. However, it could need some more grammar/prose checks to make it better. I was wondering if you could give me a hand? Especially the parts after "History" needs some looking into. I would be very grateful for any help :)

|Greetings, the Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Guild members and Drive participants are invited to have a look at the Coordinators page and join the discussion on its associated talk page.}} We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{tp|cleanup}}, {{tp|wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete.

| Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update ---- File:GOCE March 2012 drive.jpg Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

| Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive File:GOCE March 2012 drive.jpg ---- Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{tp|GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Pipe organ reassessment
Hello! As a major contributor to articles around pipe organ, you should be made aware that the main article pipe organ is currently subject to good article reassessment as there are several outstanding uncited statements and poor-quality sources that have crept in. If I had the resources I would make my own efforts to correct the issues but unfortunately I have no clue where to find such info such as the connection between organum and the portative organ.
