Hi Victoria!

My name is Jethro-- just wanted to introduce myself as a fellow volunteer at the Pritzker. Welcome to the microcosm that is Wikipedia. I've been editing for a while and do all sorts of things here, so I'm your go-to person in case you need any guidance or help with your contributions. Feel free to ask me any questions here or on my talk page. I'll be stopping by next week so we can chat a little bit, but in the meantime, can I ask what you'll be working on this week?

Lyrics

edit

Hey Victoria. Just wanted to mention that in articles about songs, the lyrics to the song are generally not added unless they are explicitly discussed by a source, and in those cases, it's usually just an excerpt of the lyrics rather than all of them. With regard to songs, articles should provide information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, and so on. The full text for music lyrics is appropriate for a different project, Wikisource, and if you want to add them there, I can show you how to do that. In the meantime, could you remove the lyrics from After The War Is Over? Or, if you know a source that discusses the lyrics, you can revise the article and include the relevant portion of the lyrics. Thanks! I, JethroBT drop me a line 19:05, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also, just for reference here is an article I worked on last month that demonstrates the kind of detail and sources you might want to be on the lookout for when writing song articles. I'll likely be at the Pritzker next week, so see you then! I, JethroBT drop me a line 19:10, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Re: Lyrics

Hello Jethro, thank you for letting me know! I've removed the lyrics from "After The War Is Over," and am reviewing any song pages I've done where there may still be lyrics. I am currently working on more World War I songs, so I'll keep that in mind then as well. VCJeon (talk) 19:30, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
