Sections

I've made a half-hearted attempt at splitting this into sections, just inserting headers here and there with no other change to the text. This can surely be improved on by someone familiar with the composer. - dcljr (talk) 01:00, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Composer project review

I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This article was raised by a bot to B, because another project (Biography) had rated it B. This article does not merit a B rating; it is a very spare summary of the subject's professional career. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 14:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

==Composers Project Assessment of Harold Shapero: 2009-01-21== This is an assessment of article Harold Shapero 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? More on the household environment? ===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? good ===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? Unclear how well composing is covered ===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. No complete works list ===Critical appreciation=== Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)? Some critical commentary; musical style treatment is superficial. ===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.) No images or sound. ===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 is unreferenced. ===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 ===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) Article prose needs work (WP:MOS) (short paragraphs) ===Summary=== This is a fairly basic summary of the composer's life. It's unclear how much music he's written; only two works are mentioned. The article is completely unreferenced. The musical analysis is relatively superficial. To its credit, the article does provide a pretty good summary of the composer's professional activities (if not his composing). Article is Start-class. Magic♪piano 14:49, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
