Dear Mactabby,
I just read your response to a recent change in Concert Bands. At the moment, the Concert Band article is overwhelmingly American collegiate band director oriented. You have a perspective from the British point of view: could you add this to the article? Robertwalton 08:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Robert - I've made edits in the past to add relevant UK ensembles and conductors, but they've been removed, despite them being of a similar status as many of the American bands listed. My view is that the page shouldn't list individual bands at all, but should contain a link to the category listing for wind bands. That way there won't be the constant inflationary addition of red-linked directors and bands that we have at the moment. I'm not experienced enough on Wikipedia to know how to establish general agreement from other editors that that's the way to go - I suspect making that changee would just result in a revert by someone. I tried to start a discussion on the subject but you were the only response. Any thoughts? Mactabby 09:17, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
