Several bots are being used to automatically rewrite references with sometimes unpredictable results. I and some other editors have already complained about Polbot, see here, but there seem to be others (e.g. DumZiBoT). It seems approval has been given prematurely to bot operations which should really have been tested first. Problems can be reported to the Bot owners' noticeboard. -- Klein zach 02:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I thought this project might be interested in trying to get Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven) up to FA status by Dec. 22, 2008 for the 200 year anniversary of the premier of the work. It was already once a FA and is currently a A-class article so it may not take too much work to get it up to FA shape. Just a thought. Remember ( talk) 10:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Sound clips have recently being added to a number of music articles. This is an example that has been added to the Tristan und Isolde article:
Some of these are being recommended as Featured Sounds. (Criteria for featured sounds are explained here.) Here are some candidates:
So far few specialized music editors have been involved in the process, but there have been concerns about the quality of the clips etc.
A number of recordings have come from the Fulda Symphonic Orchestra - for example the Mendelssohn, Don Giovanni, or Tristan above. This is an amateur orchestra that has released public domain recordings (in varying sound quality) on the internet, which have been copied over onto WP. -- Klein zach 08:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC) P.S. After writing the above I find some more (Non-Fulda) examples have already been posted above by Shoemaker's Holiday.
Actually, I think the Fulda Symphony Orchestra is probably the best orchestra (as opposed to wind quintet or other small ensembles) we have in any quantity. Admittedly, competition is not great on that front. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 09:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

I have changed the layout and format. The former colors are too dull, so I changed it to be more "striking". I am in a process of changing the contents and create archived pages like what I do every month for Portal:Opera (the contents are updated every month). Below are contents to be updated, feel free to suggest for contents (for the month of October). I will update Portal:Opera first. If we have volunteer to manage this portal, it is even better, so I can concentrate at Portal:Opera only. I also added a new section "Project introduction", copied the introduction from CM project mainpage. I need someone to change the intro, because it doesnt really sounds professional to me. Below are the contents to be changed, please avoid clash contents with Portal:Opera.
(Avoid choosing "opera articles" like Tosca, Tenor etc. Ideal article for this project would be like Brandenburg concertos, Chamber music, Sonata, Juilliard School, Symphonic poem and many more)
(Avoid choosing "opera houses" or "opera scenes". Ideal photos would be like music instruments etc.)
(Avoid choosing opera singers, or composers who write many operas, including music conductors who often conducting orchestra for opera. There are many conductors/composers/musicians who are not involve in opera or only write/conduct few operas. Ideal biography would be Frédéric Chopin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Mstislav Rostropovich and many more)
Refer my suggestion articles, feel free to suggest others. Thanks - Jay ( talk) 03:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
