I don't know if this is the proper way to respond a message, but, well, at least this way i'm sure you will eventually read it. First things firts, no apologies needed, i suppose we all should check a bit better the changes we make, but, hey, Be Bold! :) For instance, i, for sure, will be more careful before crying vandalism :). Ok i gues thats all. Please excuse any grammar/spelling error i could made, english is my second language and, to tell you the truth, my writing skills are a little rusty. User:Javier Arambel

Hi Dogbertd, I am a radio producer in New York, we're doing a special series on Tristan und Isolde, and I was wondering i f I could email you a few questions about your Wikipedia contributions, and maybe chat on the phone. My name is Amy O'Leary and can be reached at amyoleary --at-- gmail dot com. Thank you! User:Meebs
Greetings again from the Opera Project. In view of the length and completeness of the Wagner articles, I am wondering whether you and your fellow-editors would be interested in setting up a Richard Wagner Project as a daughter project of ours. This has already beeen done with some success by the WikiProject Gilbert and Sullivan. This would give your work more prominence, perhaps attract more contributors and give you some control over assessments etc. Anyway let me know if you have any interest in this. Best regards - Kleinzach 03:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I see you've started working on Parsifal again. You may have noticed my preliminary review at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Richard Wagner#Article assessment 3: testing. What did you think of my points? I'm going to be re-reviewing the article in a week and a half's time, as part of my working through all the Wagner material with the other two reviewers. (I'm doing one Wagner review a day and have completed operas nos 7-12, the Ring article and its two subsidiary articles to do first.) It would be nice to get Parsifal to A when I do re-assess it. If you need slightly more time and let me know, I can stop off at Wieland Wagner and some of the other articles on works first.
If you feel that you've not got all the sources needed to address my points, then, after I've finished the marking, I can join in and work with you. In the mid-term, I would like to see the project aiming to raise one article a month to GA, A or FA. What would you feel about such drives? With lower grades, one person can raise an article a grade or two on their own. (It didn't take me long to get Die Feen to B class.) Higher grades requires having access to a variety of sources and several hands makes this easier. I did get Troilus to GA on my own, but that required a lot of work and two tries as a candidate.-- Peter cohen 15:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Although Wagner recalled this fragment in 'Mein Leben' as 'Leubald und Adelaide', every source I have consulted (including Grove, which cites the 16-vol 'Saemtliche Schriften', Millington's 'Wagner Compendium', and WWV itself) give it as just 'Leubald'. In ML Wagner states that the manuscript was lost and he presumably wasn't therefore able to check the title. It appears the manuscript must have resurfaced - I don't myself know where it is. The balance of authorities would therefore seem to be with the shorter title. It wouldn't of course be the only inaccuracy in ML! -- Smerus 18:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
You are entirely correct. I was reverting an edit which changed the date to 1880, which I knew was totally wrong, and even though I thought 1850 sounded wrong, I just took it for granted (oops) that it was correct. Alexs letterbox 21:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dogbetd, You beet me to changing the cmmentabout the instrument used. I have it in my head that when WNO took Tristan to Oxford when I was a student the fist time, their assistant conductor (surname Negus) spoke to the Oxford Wagner Society and boasted that they were using a shawm. I was going to see whether I could source that somewhere.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 12:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi: well sad, obsessive type that I am, I still have the program for the Tristan I saw in Oxford in Dec 1980. The musical assistant is listed as Anthony Negus. I don't see any reference to a shawm, but there is a refernce to a Tarogato, which was clearly the instrument used at that performance, at least.-- Dogbertd ( talk) 15:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Parsifal/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells ( talk) 22:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
As you know the Wagner project is hardly active now. I put a notice about this on the project talk page in December but no-one responded. I wonder if it is better to consolidate it into the Composers Project as a task force. What do you think? Thanks. -- Klein zach 01:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I've reverted your edit on the re-ordered "Refs" section because there is consensus amongst the WikiProject Opera group that this format makes the most sense.
WE have begun a major revision of an existing format, but work is already proceding on changing many opera articles. Please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera/Article styles and formats, plus the Talk page discussion which led up to it. Viva-Verdi ( talk) 18:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
It seems to me that Schopenhauer had an enormous effect on Wagner. The ways in which this occurred are not realized due to the fact that many people only know Schopenhauer through secondary sources. Any clarification of this influence would be very greatly appreciated. Lestrade ( talk) 18:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Lestrade
Hi there, I hope that your inactivity on Wikipedia this year is merely evidence of your being more able to just say no to Wikipedia than I am rather than anything serious. David "Smerus" Conway and I are polishing the main Wagner article for FA in the hope of getting it to FA and onto the front page for the bicentenary. As you were one of the main developers of the article, I thought you might like to know.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 00:21, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
This is a note to let the main editors of Cosima Wagner know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 24, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 24, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Cosima Wagner (1837–1930) was the daughter of pianist and composer Franz Liszt, and the second wife of composer Richard Wagner. She was previously married to the conductor Hans von Bülow. With Wagner she founded the Bayreuth Festival as a showcase for his stage works; after his death she directed the festival for more than 20 years, building its repertoire to form the Bayreuth canon of ten operas and establishing it as a major event in the world of musical theatre. She opposed theatrical innovations and adhered closely to Wagner's original productions of his works, an approach continued by her successors long after her retirement in 1907. Under her influence, Bayreuth became identified with anti-Semitism and theories of German racial and cultural superiority. This was a defining feature of Bayreuth for decades, into the Nazi era which closely followed her death in 1930; thus, although she is widely perceived as the saviour of the festival, her legacy remains controversial.

Hey Dogbertd,
I'm doing research on Mendelssohn, and he referenced dresden amen in sym. 5. I'm looking for resources offering analysis of the piece, would you happen to know of any links that the info on the page came from?

This is a note to let the main editors of Richard Wagner know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 22, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or one of his delegates ( Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests.

If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Richard Wagner (1813–83) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor primarily known for his operas. His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs—musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. These innovations greatly influenced the development of classical music; his Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music. Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of synthesising the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts. He first realised these ideas in his four-opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung. He had his own opera house built at Bayreuth, containing many novel design features, where his most important stage works continue to be performed in an annual festival run by his descendants. Wagner's controversial writings on music, drama and politics have attracted extensive comment in recent decades, especially where they express antisemitic sentiments. The effect of his ideas can be traced in many of the arts throughout the 20th century. ( Full article...)
