Hello fellow Wikipedians - As per the suggestion of User:Jerome Kohl kindly consider including the following Information Box for the composer and conductor Samuel Adler (composer). The inclusion of such a box would be consistent with the articles about two of his mentors: Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson. It might also serve as a useful starting point and summary for younger contemporary researchers who are largely unfamiliar with leading musical figures from the past who remain alive and active today (such as Samuel Adler). Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration and best wishes for the continued success of your endeavors for wikipedia. As always- with gratitude 104.207.219.150 ( talk) 14:50, 22 August 2018 (UTC)PS

shown here as well as Samuel Adler's own website shown here. Based upon this documentation, the use of this date does not appear to be misleading but consistent with known factual data compiled by Samuel Adler himself for researchers online. In reference to speculations concerning Adler's professional activity prior to 1953, documentation indicates that he served in the US Army during which time he founded and conducted the Seventh Army Symphony Orchestra while earning the Medal of Honor as indicated on allmusic.com shown here and the Living Composers Project here. In so far as these years of activity constitute service to our nation, it is quite possible that these specific years do not qualify for inclusion within the category of "professional activity" and should not be taken into consideration for inclusion within the Info Box. No doubt our fellow Wikipedia Editor and contributors can collaborate to make that determination in the future. In reference to the question "Why should Adler be more like Copland and less like Schoenberg" - Wikipedia's own guidelines seem to provide a possible answer here - Info Boxes are apparently neither required nor prohibited for inclusion within articles about composers. A case by case analysis is apparently suggested as per this guideline instead of a generic solution which either includes or excludes all composers. In so far as Samuel Adler is still a living composer, an Info Box might be quite appropriate - especially since it provides an readily accessible link to the composer's web page at the very top of the article for the convenience of contemporary researchers and students within the academic community. In addition, the article is supported by Wikiproject Musicians which apparently does not object categorically to the use of Info Boxes. In any event, I hope this clarifies some confusion which the suggested Info Box might have engendered and I hope that these thoughts serve to clarify the suggestion that an Info Box might be of some value in this particular instance. As always thanks again for your kind consideration. 104.207.219.150 ( talk) 00:22, 23 August 2018 (UTC)PS 104.207.219.150 ( talk) 00:28, 23 August 2018 (UTC)PS 104.207.219.150 ( talk) 00:34, 23 August 2018 (UTC)PS

? The "Infobox acadmic" allows for links to notable parents (such as Adler's father) as well as notable works, notable students, awards, influences and even notable publications which can be included as per an editor's discretion. Just a final thought. Good luck with the discussion. As always, best wishes

00:40, 25 August 2018 (UTC)PSThe infobox proposed, with a lot of guff that means nothing to the lay reader (Deems Taylor Award, sigma Alpha Iota award) adds nothing to the article. I am against adding it. Far better to improve the article. - Smerus ( talk) 09:07, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
I see that, in this edit, editor 104.207.219.150 added a (rather nice) photograph of the Rush Rhees Library on the River Campus of the University of Rochester. I am wondering what this has to do with the subject of this article. While the library is certainly a more attractive piece of architecture than the Eastman School of Music, where Samuel Adler taught, it is also three-and-a-half miles across town from the downtown campus of the Eastman School.— Jerome Kohl ( talk) 01:34, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
