==Welcome to Misplaced Pages==
Credit where credit is due, Janet. But you are certainly not being honest when you try to claim credit for the correct information that I put here about the 10-string guitar by giving your own misinformative web site as a "reference" for this information. Neither I nor any other informed person would have need of tenstringguitar.com as a point of reference and it is simply being dishonest to claim that your web site was a reference source for this encyclopaedia entry.


...and sorry you got off to a bad start. Misplaced Pages has a firm policy forbidding ] and insisting on ] and what was previously posted to you here is simply unacceptable.
I'm just wondering, what exactly is it that you think could be referenced there? What academic information do you have to offer? aside from all the:


Having said that, you might have a look at ]... your user page doesn't really comply. And adding a link to your own website to an article maybe wasn't the best first edit. But none of that is any excuse for incivility.
A) Propaganda about Janet Marlow.


I hope you might even have another go at editing here. Feel free to contact me on my user talk page if I can be of any help. ] (]) 15:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
B) MY OWN repertoire information based on my own personal research and collection of rare sheet music. (A list which has no business still being on your site.)


==Photos==
C) Your coattail-riding of the name, image and reputation of Narciso Yepes - of whose actual work ethic, performance practice and concept of the 10-string guitar there is not a trace to be found in either your 'Approach Guide' or tenstringguitar.com . This all despite the fact of your split with Yepes, who was NOT your teacher on the 10-string guitar, as you yourself admit to: "Narciso never heard me perform on the ten-string until the 1981 International Guitar Festival in Toronto. ... My path ventured artistically with less contact after 1981 ... all students must separate from their masters to become their own master." (Boston Classical Guitar Society's Newsletter, Vol. 5 no. 1, Sep./Oct. 1997, p. 9)


The article on ] badly needs photos. Ideally, we'd have photos both of ten-string guitars and of people playing them.
D) Factually distorted information that does not stand up to academic scrutiny and that, indeed, serves only to misinform readers. For example:


These need to be properly cleared for ], and uploaded either to Misplaced Pages or to ].
Eg. 1: in 1980, in Soundboard 7(4) p. 154, you reference - you are consciously aware of and have read - a 1978 interview with Yepes by Larry Snitzler in which Yepes unequivocally indicates (as he does numerously elsewhere and as is acoustically verifiable) that there are "eight notes of the chromatic scale" that lack sympathetic resonance on the 6-string guitar (Guitar Player 12, p. 26). Yet you misinform readers by claiming that there are only "four missing resonances" on tenstringguitar.com/tuningsforthe10string.html


Please contact me if you are prepared to release photos of yourself (or others) playing, and/or of instruments. Or just upload them yourself... but while uploading is easy, there's a bit of a learning curve involved in completing the copyleft requirements. ] (]) 15:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Eg. 2: in the preface of your approach guide to playing "the ten-string guitar" you claim that: "In my own process over twenty five years I have developed the tuning" that forms the basis for this method. In fact, this method of tuning had already been fully developed by 1982, not "over twenty five years". Records of this are in the March 1982 edition of Guitar Player magazine (an article by your friend Allan Kozinn). Furthermore, this concept is therein attributed to Oscar Castro-Neves (March 1982: 20), not to your "OWN process".


==] nomination of ]==
Eg. 3: In ''ibid.'', you claim that 'your' (or, rather, Castro-Neves's) method of 'tuning' (or, rather, stringing) gives the same chromatic resonance as Yepes's. This is acoustically untenable, unless you inhabit your own alternate reality where the rules of physics work differently.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages

...and sorry you got off to a bad start. Misplaced Pages has a firm policy forbidding personal attacks and insisting on civility and what was previously posted to you here is simply unacceptable.

Having said that, you might have a look at Misplaced Pages:user pages... your user page doesn't really comply. And adding a link to your own website to an article maybe wasn't the best first edit. But none of that is any excuse for incivility.

I hope you might even have another go at editing here. Feel free to contact me on my user talk page if I can be of any help. Andrewa (talk) 15:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Photos

The article on ten-string guitar badly needs photos. Ideally, we'd have photos both of ten-string guitars and of people playing them.

These need to be properly cleared for copyleft, and uploaded either to Misplaced Pages or to Wikimedia commons.

Please contact me if you are prepared to release photos of yourself (or others) playing, and/or of instruments. Or just upload them yourself... but while uploading is easy, there's a bit of a learning curve involved in completing the copyleft requirements. Andrewa (talk) 15:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
