Talk:Roger Reynolds

Additional and removal of content

It appears that a large amount of biographical information was added to the article and then removed, with no reason given for the removal . What's going on? Hyacinth (talk) 22:34, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that Hyacinth, I added it and then decided I needed to keep working on it. I see that you've re-instated it. That is ok - I'll do my edits piece by piece now. Thanks for the concern!

Music Composition Titles: "Quotes" vs. Italics

I'm not sure what is considered normal on wikipedia, but in MLA and Chicago/Turabian formats titles of music compositions are italicized, not quoted. What is the consensus here? Phembree (talk) 22:12, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Italics are normal for compositions, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music)#Classical music titles and Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Style guidelines#Articles about compositions. Only songs are enclosed in "quotes". (Use double apostrophe's to get italics, not <em> tags) -- Quiddity (talk) 00:16, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Difficulty with Images

I'm sending permission from Karen and Roger Reynolds to the Commons:OTRS people to get that image undeleted. It might take a while before it returns... Phembree (talk) 02:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

The OTRS people took care of the issue. Picture is back. Phembree (talk) 17:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Requested updates to Roger Reynolds article

Hello. I have been hired by Roger Reynolds to assist with proposed updates to this article. I previously studied with him, so I have disclosed both the paid relationship and my conflict of interest on my user page. I will not make substantive edits directly to the article and will instead propose them here for independent review.

I have several specific, sourced updates to propose and will present them separately below so they can be reviewed individually. Metalljac (talk) 10:07, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Specific change requested: Replace the current infobox photograph, which dates from 2005, with the more recent Wikimedia Commons image available at File:Roger Reynolds.jpg.

Reason for the change: The Commons image is a more recent photograph of Roger Reynolds and is already available under a Wikimedia-compatible license.

Reference / file: File:Roger Reynolds.jpg Metalljac (talk) 10:20, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Specific text to be added after the Library of Congress sentence in the lead:

"His work is also represented in the Fonds Roger Reynolds at the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland. In 2023, Reynolds was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters."

Reason for the change: These are two significant and verifiable additions to Reynolds's archival and professional record that are not currently mentioned in the lead.

• Paul Sacher Stiftung, General Collection:
• American Academy of Arts and Letters, Membership:
