![]() | Ragtime was a
good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the
good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it,
please do; it may then be
renominated. Review: November 8, 2006. |

AllyD The discussion should be added here for those editing this page: AfD The Mississippi Rag. I do not agree with those who wish to add this periodical to this article / section - (even the book source - which is superfluous in this case) - since it promotes and welcomes undue weight and excess lists for periodicals from those that (self) published these type of magazines / newsletters / etc: i.e. Zimmerman's "The Rag Times", Perf. Bill's monumental legacy of historical online research ... to say that The Syncopated Times is unreliable is PO and OR. Mentioning a periodical in this section is out of place and the inline content does not prove effective or encyclopedic for its mentioning. One source is dead: [1], the second is an obituary, and the third [2] is from the very same periodical that the above editor said was "unworthy": The Syncopated Times. I'm not doubting the importance of this periodical, but if it was deemed necessary for AfD and saved by redirect, it needs to be better incorporated into this article; and others should merit the same level of inclusion. I believe this should be under: FURTHER READING, not included in this section. It does not warrant placement higher than Jasen / Tichenor, Berlin, Waldo, Blesh, et al.

Do you mean that the cited book is wrong in its claim of uniqueness then? Do you have a counter-source? Feel free to move the claim elsewhere in the article. czar 23:41, 16 December 2019 (UTC)There are dozens upon dozens of periodicals that were published during the revival - that still exist today - and can claim the same merit toward the "Ragtime Revival".
The term “ragtime” in jazz originated in the brothels in New Orleans. When the prostitutes had their periods, they didn’t “work,” but instead sat in the parlor listening to the piano player. These girls were “on the rag”; hence, the term “ragtime” was used to describe their time enjoying the piano music. True story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jules Clinch ( talk • contribs) 20:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
