Content guidelines
Think of these like the rules.
- In general, please be rigorous about citing factual information, wether it be from books, online sources, manuscripts. Feel free to leave a "citation needed" template in place of a citation, and someone else may get to it later!
- Please do not make this wiki the place to leave your original research into a topic. Besides not being able to be verified in the same way as any article could be, it would be vulnerable to be overwritten by anyone else (especially if they replace your research with older research). If anything, you may make a blog post or a similar piece of content and cite that.
- All aspects of the pipe organ are allowed. Pipe organs themselves, organ builders, performers, composers, aspects of organ compositions. For composers please focus on their organ compositions, but including a general biography is fine.
- How to list works by a composer. This will vary depending on the situation. For some such as north german organ composers from the baroque period, a table with columns 1) Manuscript, 2) Exact title (not cleaned/modernized), 3) notes is preferred. For later composers an opus list may be the best option.
- How to refer to manuscripts, unless the manuscript has a common name (such as Lowell Mason Codex), please refer to it by the RISM siglum followed by the shelfmark/signature (granted, the signature designation may be a bit ambiguous as well). For example, D-B Mus. Ms. Lynar B 3.
- You ARE ALLOWED to make a page about yourself, unlike on Wikipedia. However, please make sure that any factual information is cited just like on any other article, and don't just put personal information that can't be verified.
