Great work; I think it's a really good and informative article now, by the way. I hope you found the process helpful. If you'd like to review one of my articles, they're there in the list of Language and literature GANs awaiting a reviewer ... it'd be much appreciated.

Nice job cleaning up Liszt so far. What are your plans for it? Aza24 (talk) 06:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm working on a section on his relationships with other composers, and I think the biography section needs more work, but after that I think I'll put it forward for GA review to give myself a sense of closure (if I'm not completely burnt out). The FA process seems too intimidating! Ligaturama (talk) 08:37, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, biography could use some citation clean up, but looks good overall. I think the legacy section is the biggest gap; I like your additions to the teaching section, but we need more on influence and reputation. Check out how this is done at Josquin des Prez#Legacy, Claude Debussy#Influence on later composersorFrédéric Chopin#Reception and influence, for some ideas. Obviously these three are FAs, so the Liszt could have a smaller scale for that section, and since each are suited for the specific composer, Liszt's will have to be as well.

GA is a great goal. Let me know when you nominate it there—I would be happy to review it. Aza24 (talk) 02:12, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you're right, I did kind of swerve the legacy of his compositions, partly because I felt that it belongs more in Musical works of Franz Liszt, and I haven't come across a huge amount written just on that topic. It does look extremely sparse though, I'm sure I can flesh it out. Thanks a lot for the examples and the offer of a GA review, I'll give you a message after I nominate.

Hey, I'm happy to help out with the Liszt GAN while you're away (i.e. do the copy & pasting of notes references asked by CurryTime). I can also try and address some of my own comments. Would that be okay? Aza24 (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that would be really great if you could! Your suggestions were all perfectly valid as far as I'm concerned, I have a small comment on one of them that I'll put in a reply to it so that everything relevant is there on the same page. Ligaturama (talk) 17:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I completely forgot about this (was just reminded via my talk page on the GAN page), my apologies. I fear I'm too busy to commit to helping out much, but I'll see if I can squeeze in some effort these coming days. Aza24 (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I won't address your comments during the GA process, because that would make it harder to get across the finish line and clearly both CurryTime and I are also busy. But of course I have no objection if you do it yourself, and/or I'll take another look post-GA when I have some more time. Ligaturama (talk) 18:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Seeing as you worked Liszt up to GA, I thought you'd be interested in a PR I just openedonIgor Stravinsky, with hopes for a future FAC. Any comments would be much appreciated if you find time- thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 20:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! Wanted to let you know that Stravinsky is now at FAC. It seems that Tim riley didn't get the ping when I notified him on the PR (probably because I closed it before pinging him) so I wanted to ensure you got the notification- thanks!

Precious[edit]

Thank you for quality to articles such as Franz Liszt and The Waste Land, for creations such as Mini (documentary), for quality reviewing, for adding and requesting refs, for tackling Virginia Woolf, for the cute navbox about your contributions, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2939 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:31, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering who had brought Liszt to GA! Thanks for bringing another of the first Romantic generation to this milestone. :)

Hello there

Is there a policy or convention regarding the use of maiden names for spouses in the info box? Shelley's first wife is given as Harriet Westbrook so it would be consistent to style his second wife Mary Godwin. She is also referred to as Mary Godwin in the article up to the point of her marriage to Shelley. I think this outweighs any confusion which might be caused to casual readers who only look at the info box and not the article. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 08:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya - existing policy/docs such as MOS:BIRTHNAME and WP:NCP seem to just be around article titles or when the person in question is the article subject, but the guidance on the "spouse" entry in Template:Infobox person says "Use article title (if linking) or common name", both of which are of course Mary Shelley. As infoboxes are meant to impart useful information at a glance, it seems sensible to me to use the name she is known for (her marriage predates any significant work as far as I'm aware), rather than having people click through wondering who Mary Godwin is and being redirected to Mary Shelley.

I see your point about consistency with Westbrook; to me the difference is that she isn't independently notable under either name, so I think it's less important which name she's put under. I disagree that we should prioritise people reading his biography over "casual" infobox readers; if anything I think that's a reason to keep her as Shelley in the infobox, to cater for people wanting a short summary without unnecessary confusion.

If you want to start a conversation on the talk page to see what others think then I can copy this response to there, but I think keeping consistency with the infobox guidelines is the way to go. Ligaturama (talk) 09:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. I see your reasoning, and we only occasionally have people changing it to Godwin. (They are more likely to confuse her with Mary Wollstonecraft!) Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 21:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
