Why isn't there any audio examples?

[edit]

I mean come on some of the most famous examples are in the public domain and we do have tracks on commons that are CC sharealike. Leonard LMT (talk) 02:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AI-generated content

[edit]

Hi -- I have tagged this article as possibly containing AI-generated text, specifically the edits by NebulaNavigator77. They need thorough review and fact check, but I have not removed them as this is a suspicion, not proof. In this case the blast radius seems to be limited to captions.

Thanks for the heads up @Gnomingstuff. Most of the images & captions that user added were already removed (as excessive examples). I've shortened one of the remaining captions and removed the other. This should be addressed now. Aza24 (talk) 18:37, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Sorry for not doing it myself -- it turns out this is related to a sockpuppet investigation. There are hundreds of major articles this user/users have edited where likely AI use has gone undetected -- some of it a lot worse -- so I'm mainly concerned right now with flagging it all.

No worries @Gnomingstuff, I figured it was a large-scale issue. I appreciate your tagging efforts Aza24 (talk) 18:48, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

'Women in classical music' section/'See also' section

[edit]

Rather than having a section titled 'Women in classical music' on this page that largely duplicates the information that can be found on the Women in classical music page, I think it would improve the structure of the article to instead have a 'See also' section that includes links to related pages, including the 'Women in classical music' page. This is the structure that some other music genre pages follow. As an example, the Hip-hop page has a 'See also' section with links to Hip-hop and social injustice, LGBTQ representation in hip-hop, Misogyny in rap music, and Music of the United States, rather than having each of those topics as sections on the 'Hip Hop' page. I initially made this edit but it was reverted, so putting here for further discussion. Onyxqk (talk) 23:21, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, and Fanny Mendelssohn deserve a bit more than a "See also". Women have been too-thoroughly written out of the history of classical music for us to avoid any mention in the main article of that happening.

Couldn't the artists you mention be included in the main 'History' section? E.g. from the 'Modernist' subsection there's the sentence 'Prominent composers of the early 20th century include Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sergei Prokofiev, Arnold Schoenberg, Nikos Skalkottas, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Karol Szymanowski, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Cécile Chaminade, Paul Hindemith, Aram Khachaturian, George Gershwin, Amy Beach, Béla Bartók, and Dmitri Shostakovich, along with the aforementioned Mahler and Strauss as transitional figures who carried over from the 19th century.'
Those artists could be included in the list of prominent composers for whichever time period they were from. Onyxqk (talk) 00:45, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will go ahead and make the edit and include those artists mentioned in the history section. Onyxqk (talk) 22:20, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
