Composer project review

I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This article is B-class; the subject's lutebook could use more attention. Read my detailed review on the comments page. Comments can be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 14:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your review! It inspired me to create the Capirola Lutebook article —although unfortunately I only have the most basic sources on it. --Jashiin (talk) 16:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I like to think that the reviews are there at least partly to inspire editors (by giving constructive advice on how to better the article). I'm glad it had that effect. (Nice picture.) Magic♪piano 18:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

==Composers Project Assessment of Vincenzo Capirola: 2008-11-24== This is an assessment of article Vincenzo Capirola 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. ===Origins/family background/studies=== 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? OK ===Early career=== 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? OK ===Mature career=== 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? OK ===List(s) of works=== 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. OK, sort of. If the lutebook is his only known work, it should have an article (including a complete listing of its contents). ===Critical appreciation=== Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)? OK, given limited data. ===Illustrations and sound clips=== 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.) Article has sound, but could use an image. A page from the lutebook would be great. ===References, sources and bibliography=== 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? Article has references, one inline cite. ===Structure and compliance with WP:MOS=== 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.) OK, after I made a few small changes. ===Things that may be necessary to pass a Good Article review=== Article requires more inline citations (WP:CITE) Article needs (more) images and/or other media (MOS:IMAGE) ===Summary=== This is a short account of an apparently poorly-documented figure. If he is primarily known for his (seemingly) lone book of works, more space could be devoted to it (here or in the redlinked article name). The article could use an image; a page from the lutebook would be ideal, in the absence of portraiture. The article needs inline cites if it is to be considered for GA/FA review. Article is B-class.
