Re: [Gendergap] Female composer gets onto the list

[G. White]

Thanks for your help people. Although, looking through the edit summaries
on the article, "What kind of ridiculousness is this?" and "WTF" are not
the responses to a new stub made in good faith that one would hope for...

I am really pleased that the article can hold its head up higher now,
thanks to your improvements. The proper references for which I have been
waiting, should arrive soon. In the meantime, if you have them, add them.

Re: [Gendergap] List of celebrity hairdressers

[Sarah Stierch]

As a list writer myself - the best thing is to add citations to the list.

I've been swamped and no time to look at the page yet, but, if it lacks 
citations - it's in best interest to add them.

Re: [Gendergap] Female composer gets onto the list

[Nathan]

This article (which has been moved to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute_Concertino_(Chaminade)) could use
some help in referencing, as much of the content outside the intro
remains unreferenced. There's also an issue of very close
paraphrasing, verging on copyright infringement, that some edited
could probably resolve.

[Gendergap] Female composer gets onto the list

[G. White]

Dear All,

We are having an edit-a-thon next Saturday that is related to an annual
week-long broadcast of classical music works voted by the public. The works
chosen are broadcast in the form of a Countdown with expert commentary and
public engagement. These annual votes also result in a series of WP
articles. This year, one of the compositions that has been selected is
by Cécile Chaminade,
whom I expect will be the only female composer to be represented on the
list. In fact, out of 1100 choices over 11 years, there have been only two
other women. (They are Elena Kats-Cherni, who has two places, and Ann
Carr-Boyd). As there was no article about Chaminade's selected composition
- Concertino for flute and orchestra -
I
have started one.

*If anyone would like to help improve this article or create more about
Chaminade's other works (the list is on her bio article), that would be
great. *

Information about the edit-a-thon is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/October_2012
The WP list article for which Chaminade's work was selected is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_100_Music_of_France_%28ABC%29
The article showing the summary results of the Countdowns for the last 11
years is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_100_Countdowns_%28ABC%29
