A fact from Charles Auchester appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 March 2016 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that while Benjamin Disraeli wrote of Charles Auchester that "No greater book will ever be written on music", the critic Henry Chorley thought it "half-crazy"? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Charles Auchester.

I deliberately created this article without an infobox, because I believe that such an addition is distracting, adds no value to the article, and can sometimes be misleading to the uninformed reader. In line with WP:CIVIL please create a discussion here if you wish to create an infobox, explaining exactly why you feel it would improve the article, rather than just adding it on a unilateral basis. As is the norm with WP, a final decision will depend on editors' consensus. Thanks, -- Smerus ( talk) 18:30, 12 March 2016 (UTC) reply
