Welcome![edit]
Hi TheYingThing, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice on editing here for students in Prof. Jackson's similar classes at Longy School of Music which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page (User talk:Voceditenore), or place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. When you leave a message here or on any other talk page, be sure to sign it by typing ~~~~ (4 tildes with no spaces between them) at the end. When you click save, the Wikipedia software will automatically convert that show your user name and your talk page (with links to them) as well as the date and time when you signed. WP:SIGN has more about all the ins and outs of that.
You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music and WikiProject Composers. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 09:25, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Manaka Kataoka (May 1)[edit]

Hi TheYingThing! I had a look at the draft, and I'm afraid the subject probably wouldn't pass the notability requirements with current references. Two of them are to sites with user-generated content, i.e. Nintendo.wikia.com and wikidot.com and giantbomb.com is similar. If she had won an award for her game scores, there might have been a chance (and more coverage). Wikipedia:Notability (people) lays out the kinds of sources required. Perhaps the thing to do would be to expand slightly the "Development" section of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with more information about her. Or perhaps add a new section to the article devoted to the game's score and its composers. Here's a review in Time Magazine which praises her work. Plus this one in the Italian edition of Rolling Stone. Hope that helps. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hello Voceditenore! Thank you very much for your suggestions and sources, I will look into making a music section on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I do have one more question, when listing accomplishments or works that an artist has contributed to, say a discography for example, is it required to cite a source that confirms the involvement of said artist in those projects? Again, thank you very much. Best, TheYingThing (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi TheYingThing. Sorry for the late reply. I've been deep into 19th-century France in the last week. Yes, a source should be provided for all credits. This can usually done by via AllMusic, or reviews which mention the artist, or even and extended entry in WorldCat. See, for example, the Discography sections in Charlie Zeleny and Susan Allen (musician) for some ideas. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 17:27, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
