Did Wood really conduct the world premiere of this work? Does anyone know the date, soloist, and other details? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 08:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request as the common name with the perk that it avoids the need for any disambiguator-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 14:36, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Henry Wood (conductor)
Henry J. Wood — The English conductor, Sir Henry Wood, is not commonly known by his middle name. Please see the external links and references of this article, and also the fact that
The Proms were for a time known as the "Henry Wood Promenade Concerts" after his death.

"His famous medley Fantasia on British Sea Songs, prepared for the 1905 centenary celebrations of the Battle of Trafalgar, is now an indispensable item at the Last Night of the Proms."
This is no longer true. Sadly they now appear to be an optional extra at the last night. Not being played in 2010, for example. —Preceding

The result of the move request was: moved Kotniski ( talk) 12:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Though I note the above discussion and agreement to move the (then) "Henry Joseph Wood" to "Henry J. Wood" (which is certainly an improvement) I must report that at the recent FAC considerations there was a clear view that the title would be better still as "Henry Wood (conductor)". It is true that Wood himself always used the "J", but people don't use it now, and it would be more helpful to our users to drop it. See discussion here, about half way down, kicked off by GuillaumeTell. Thoughts, please. Tim riley ( talk) 18:47, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Can we move this to Henry Wood, then, once the dab page is moved to Henry Wood (disambiguation)? I take it from the above that there is no objection?-- Kotniski ( talk) 19:11, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
I've just looked at all of Special:WhatLinksHere/Henry_Wood (it should have been appearing on some list of "Disambiguation pages with incoming links") and sorted out a couple which were clearly not intended for HJW - dabbed the architect of parts of Ashton Court and unlinked the founder of King Arthur Flour (who was only linked in infobox, not in article text). All the rest, which previously led to the dab page, now lead via the redirect to this page. Also added the "redirect" hatnote to this page, to direct people to the dab page if they aren't looking for HJW. PamD ( talk) 22:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Have updated the dab page so it won't need further change after that page move. PamD ( talk) 09:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Grateful thanks to the experts, above, for moving the article and dealing with the associated moves and adjustments. Tim riley ( talk) 18:26, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi all, I've created a small writings/bibliography section that I would suggest be included in this article, if others concur. Grove lists a few "introductions" Wood wrote to various books, but my initial instinct is that they would be out of place in such a section. Aza24 ( talk) 20:43, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
