Hi Chillypee, 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. 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.

Me again. I also wanted to let you know about Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. I will be away until April 23rd, if you have any problems, the editors there may be able to help. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 09:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Chillypee. As you can see, your draft is now an article. I moved it to article space yesterday. Congratulations and Thank You! A really interesting and quirky subject with good sources. As you can see, I've added a couple more + an image and done a bit of tweaking. If you're feeling ambitious sometime in the future, you might want to write a preamble for the Compositions for burning pianos section based on the Davies (2003) source which sets piano burning in the general context of "instrument abuse" and the philosophy of music, and on the Hope and Marshall (2006) article listed in the "Further reading" section which also deals with that subject. But the present article is fine as it is. In fact, I'm thinking of nominating it for Did you know?. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 11:19, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
- I feel like a proud parent watching my page grow up! I cannot thank you enough for turning my draft into a real article. All of your edits improved the quality and sophistication of the page immensely. The image looks great! I was struggling to find one, it really completes the page. I hope you learned something about the culture of Piano Burning from the experience, because i know i sure did.
- Also, a quick side note, is this the proper way to respond to comments on my talk page? Should i indent?
- Hi Chillipee. I loved working on that article with you. What a fascinating subject! I had never heard of it before. So, yes, I learned a lot. I'm so glad you're happy with the result and you every right to be proud. As for talk page mechanics, normally, you indent a reply using colons— : for one indent, :: for 2 indents, etc.. I've fixed the indent here. Also, be sure you sign your comments on talk pages either by typing ~~~~ or clicking on
or
in the edit bar. It keeps who-said-what clear and is a record of the date and time the comment was made. WP:SIGN and WP:TALK have the lowdown on this stuff. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 15:04, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
