Important suggestions to make this a little less messy. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:32, 8 December 2015 (UTC) |
- Before starting an article PLEASE CHECK WHETHER THERE'S ALREADY AN ARTICLE ON THE TOPIC (in other words: don't start a duplicate article anywhere per WP:CONTENTFORK).
- For new articles please follow Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music)#Compositions (classical music) – when you're not sure how the article should be named, ask, e.g. at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music#Student articles. Most article title suggestions in the list below are way off and should not be used.
- Please start new articles (when there's no pre-existing article) in "Draft:" namespace (see some examples in the table below)
- Immediately put up the
