Composer project review
editI've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This article is B-class; it could use a complete works list, and more inline citations. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 16:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- The article as it stands lists all the surviving works of Bertrand, as reflected in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. It does not, however, list the individual items in each of the seven published collections. Is this what you mean by "complete works list"?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think of it this way. We list all 600-odd songs that Franz Schubert wrote. (We don't, for example, just say he wrote "Winterreise" and leave it at that.) I've generally treated descriptions like this, where the works are not enumerated, as arguably incomplete. If you wanted to disagree, we could probably open a discussion in a suitable forum; I'm not wedded to this notion. It's just my interpretation of what a "complete works list" is. (Listings like the one in this article "score higher" than other sorts of listings, since it is at least somewhat clearer what the composer produced.) Magic♪piano 17:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- Fair enough. That's all I wanted to know.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

;Composers Project Assessment of Antoine de Bertrand: 2024-08-26
This is an assessment of article Antoine de Bertrand by a member of the Composers project, according to its assessment criteria. This review was done by Magicpiano. If an article is well-cited, the reviewer is assuming that the article reflects reasonably current scholarship, and deficiencies in the historical record that are documented in a particular area will be appropriately scored. If insufficient inline citations are present, the reviewer will assume that deficiencies in that area may be cured, and that area may be scored down. Adherence to overall Wikipedia standards (WP:MOS, WP:WIAGA, WP:WIAFA) are the reviewer's opinion, and are not a substitute for the Wikipedia's processes for awarding Good Article or Featured Article status.
Does the article reflect what is known about the composer's background and childhood? If s/he received musical training as a child, who from, is the experience and nature of the early teachers' influences described?
Does the article indicate when s/he started composing, discuss early style, success/failure? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed?
Does the article discuss his/her adult life and composition history? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed?
Are lists of the composer's works in WP, linked from this article? If there are special catalogs (e.g. Köchel for Mozart, Hoboken for Haydn), are they used? If the composer has written more than 20-30 works, any exhaustive listing should be placed in a separate article.
Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)?
Does the article contain images of its subject, birthplace, gravesite or other memorials, important residences, manuscript pages, museums, etc? Does it contain samples of the composer's work (as composer and/or performer, if appropriate)? (Note that since many 20th-century works are copyrighted, it may not be possible to acquire more than brief fair use samples of those works, but efforts should be made to do so.) If an article is of high enough quality, do its images and media comply with image use policy and non-free content policy? (Adherence to these is needed for Good Article or Featured Article consideration, and is apparently a common reason for nominations being quick-failed.)
Does the article contain a suitable number of references? Does it contain sufficient inline citations? (For an article to pass Good Article nomination, every paragraph possibly excepting those in the lead, and every direct quotation, should have at least one footnote.) If appropriate, does it include Further Reading or Bibliography beyond the cited references?
Does the article comply with Wikipedia style and layout guidelines, especially WP:MOS, WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, and possibly WP:SIZE? (Article length is not generally significant, although Featured Articles Candidates may be questioned for excessive length.)
