From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, Nymaestro!

I noticed your work on Requiem (Mozart), and thought I'd welcome you to Wikipedia. I'm MarkBuckles. Thank you for your contributions, and I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Some other hints and tips:

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Or come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

Requiem (Mozart) has needed work for a while. Many popular classical pieces receive a lot of edits, and we could certainly use assistance helping the article achieve a neutral point of view and contain proper citations, both guidelines for Wikipedia articles.

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

[edit] Some comments on the Mozart Requiem page

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that the use of the signature ( ~~~~ ) is just for Wikipedia:Talk Pages. No one signs anything in an article because it's all the work of the community at large. WP:OWN is a good link for information on this. It's easy to feel protective about your own edits to articles.

If you're able to add any footnotes (WP:CITE is helpful) it's a big help to readers, as well as just general policy that all articles be referenced.

I also noticed this sentence: "even when alternate completions provide logical and compelling solutions for the work." Sounds like you're not a fan of the Sussmayer! That's fine, but readers shouldn't be able to tell the opinion of any author so this would probably need to be changed to conform to a neutral point of view. Happy editing!

Just want to alert you that I added "real" references (meaning linked references, using the {{cite book}} and {{cite web}} templates) to the material you added; the references appear in the "References" section near the end. I think I got everything right, but there's always the chance I made a mistake, so you might want to review this to see if it's OK. You do know how to use these templates and references, don't you? If not, I can explain it. +ILike2BeAnonymous 06:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I will look these over. Nymaestro 16:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
