works should not be passed. However, I have eight national anthems that were failed when the winds changed. Several of these are works where the music and lyrics were composed by different individuals at different times, thus making an instrumental performance eligible to be a faithful rendition of the music from a national anthem. They were merely failed because the composition was in a sense boring. If music and lyrics were composed together with an intended vocal arrangement, then there is a case to be made that an instrumental arrangement is not faithful. The brass band source that you mention has provided FS with dozens of its works. I don't think there has been a previous consideration of whether the original arrangement was a vocal work or whether there was a musical composition with separate lyrical composition. I do believe that almost all national anthems have lyrics, but we have many at FS and I just don't think the vocal arrangement criteria was a previous consideration. Beyond national anthems FS will lose a substantial number of works with this seemingly new criteria that a brass band arrangement of a vocal work is ineligible.--
2754:
national anthems as so boring as to be beneath FS and my disagreement with this is probably the single most important element of the demise of FS. You view it as me bulldozing piles of schlocky works and I view it as highlighting notable and encyclopedic works. I view this disagreement as the whole crux of the problem of FS. This is precisely where the project has to either come to a consensus or (as I proposed with two levels of quality) agree to disagree. If the people at FS insist that we come to a consensus with one set of criteria to judge work then I don't think we will ever get FS up and running. The reason that I proposed a two quality level project is that I think it is much more likely that the project will agree to disagree and move forward with two levels of recognized quality than it is to come to a consensus. There are enough people who feel all national anthems are notable enough and encyclopedic enough that a faithful rendition should be recognized that if we don't agree to disagree with two levels we may never get back up and running. I ask you to again seriously consider supporting a solution where we agree to disagree.--
2663:
complete faithfulness to the original work as long as the other principles are present and followed to a high enough quality. In general, these exceptions should be rare. We shouldn't be too specific in the criteria because that was our problem last time. Keeping to music for the moment I think Tony1 is asking for consideration of the compositional quality. While I have a problem with that as a general principle, perhaps that should be at least discussed (although Featured Pictures is able to show a photograph of something unpleasant and it can still be a FP - why not music?). Don't forget that we should also be other material like speeches, recordings of events, bird-song and the like. How are we to assess these?
2168:
transition to a more mobile audience, FS needs to encourage audio-only production. This is my other major point of contestation. We can spend all the time we want writing well-thought out criteria. However, when push comes to shove and we agree to start evaluating content again, we either need to come to an agreement or agree to disagree. My proposal above with an FS/GS revamping is a proposal to agree to disagree. Do you really think we can should pursue an unlikely agreement on these two examples (here and the national anthem stuff above) or do you think it would be better to agree to disagree and have two different quality levels? I ask you to reconsider your opposition to my proposed agreement to disagree.--
3034:) that I nominated that you made sure did not pass. This difference is the type of thing for which we should have both a FS and GS. You audiofiles could set your own standards and the GS people would respect well-performed and well-recorded works. You and I butting heads on this issue represents larger groups of people butting heads. We would server WP better with a two-part sound promotion system. You really haven't explained your objection to my proposal because it gives you a chance to oppose works willy nilly. The fact that they might get recognized as a good sound shouldn't bother you if they are well-performed and well-recorded.-- 1861:
have two levels of standards. You guys can keep talking because I may be wrong. Maybe, you can get it going again with higher standards, but i doubt it. I look at all the verbiage and it is really pretty confusing. The bottom line for me is whether the spirit of the criteria is to eliminate the pedestrian works that had fidelity, competence and encyclopedic value. Does the work really have to put fire in your loins or not. I have no way to understand what all the words mean until you tell me are brass band national anthems in or out? The project had a ton of them before I got involved and when I started adding to the list
2403:) mentioned that maybe we should accept the combos as a set. My feeling is that any video presented should be presented with an audio-only format that is included in all of the same articles that the video is in and both should be welcome at FS or FS/GS (with the possibility that one only be accorded a GS). There were strong feelings prior to the demise that duplicate files should not be accepted. Almost everyone is being silent on the issue. We should not go forward until we have resolved issues like this.-- 668:
and video to WP as this will help raise the profile of media in the encyclopedia. Just maybe it would contribute to encouraging the development of a sustainable Featured process in the future." I think that there is a bot which can distribute this, but I have no idea how to use it. I can do it manually by going through the list of contributors and adding in anyone who left a message on the project's page recently, but that will have to wait for a couple of days at least because of off-wiki real life.
1557:. The wonderful thing about the old FS was that it was driving fundamental submissions themselves and in a category that we had very little of (sounds). I always felt like we should have LOW standards for FS and just tighten them up if the category and size grew to allow it. But given there was a dead ender who wanted super perfection, just better to abandon FS to him and make your own thing. Go GS. Go sounds. It was really sad when FS died and no content came in anymore. Ā :-( 2978:"Regardless of weirdness, plainness and undistinguished nature, a national anthem is notable and a sound file of it has such high encyclopedic value, I think it is a disservice to WP and FS, in particular, to say any national anthem is ineligible to be an FS." First, I didn't say that national anthems should be ineligible for FS status. Second, I couldn't disagree more with your assumption that notability and high encyclopedic value (in the context of an article ... here on 716: 1099:. Seriously, we can't talk about how criteria are being interpreted. They aren't being interpreted. There aren't any nominations. We can't talk about problems with brass band reductions of anthems being nominated. They aren't being nominated. There aren't any nominations. We can't point to problems that need fixed. There can't be any problems or fixes that aren't 100% hypothetical. There aren't any nominations for problems to arise in. 19:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC) 31: 1875:) led a revolt against their pedestrian nature. I can't figure out how to resolve everything because I thought a mechanism where he could eliminate all of the schlock from FS and write high standards as I designed would make him and all the audiofiles happy. I am not arguing for brass band Wagner because those never were perceived as having fidelity, but I am trying to figure out what is going on with National anthems.-- 966:
don't upload in the first place (usually but not always for copyright reasons); (2) upload and use or don't use in one or more articles. Restarting FSC would revert us to a ternary structure, adding (3) promoted to featured status on en.WP. There was far too much bulldozing by one editor, and far too little sense of what the standards of music files should be to promote them. It's much easier for pictures.

stands, the main, really noticeable difference is there being much less use of drums in the older one, So I pulled up the parts on IMSLP, and discovered that Sousa wrote extensive use of drums into the score. So far as I know, the recording itself doesn't seem to have been wildly popular, nor does it appear to have been a particularly major force in popularizing the work, and, further, [

benchmark for giving stars to sound files. Photography is much more accessible to amateurs, and the demarcation between professional and amateur in FSCs is not nearly so great. It does not take 20 years of dedicated professional training to be able to produce excellent photographs, even though we can still admire the beautiful work turned out by our best Wikimedian photographers.
1321:
more than one hour of work for consideration. Thus, some of the long speeches will have to be paired up with some of the short sound files. Other days a nomination may include a group of similarly themed works (E.G. works by a single composer, Christmas carols or national anthems performed by a specific musical ensemble or renditions of a single work by different ensembles).
2727:
and I don't think I'd have trouble convincing people of that, by comparison with, say, the US national anthem, which is pretty swank). Judging compositional quality in music is not easy. You can't write it into the rules; reviewers might give their opinions on a case-by-case basis, and gain consensus or not. It's easier to judge by consensus the interest factor in pictures.
2694:. Getting back on track here, emphasizing the compositional quality is wrong for FS, IMO. This is where the major rift about brass band National Anthems comes from. Tony1, led the charge to suddenly say certain National Anthems were boring and thus virtually ineligible for FS. Previously, a national anthem that was faithful to the composition was an automatic FS.-- 1075:
the number of bad 19th century European marches used as National Anthems and accepted as FSs, I would argue that their inclusion is down to their encyclopedic value. However, this is all old ground which we were discussing at some length before and which went no-where. To agree with Tony again, these are complex issues and maybe there is no easy solution.
2982:, I suppose) trump crappy music. Again, judging the quality of musical composition is going to be a problem, but I'm not going to sit by and watch rubbishy music, beautifully performed and recorded, promoted to featured status. It can stay uploaded and used in articles, but awarding special status should require a different level of value-judgement. 1960:
remain featured. Again, the goal is to improve Knowledge, and if two recordings improve Knowledge's coverage far more than each one alone, they should both be eligible to be considered (though, of course, whether it actually passes will depend if it meets the other criteria, written and unwritten). We can revisit this if it becomes an issue later.
1644:. Featured sounds is, and probably always will be, a rather small project. There's no need to split it. Valued pictures crashed and burned (and rightly so), the idea of "good lists" is regularly shot down (and rightly so). There are plenty of reasons why articles should be considered separately, and why a two-tiered system is justified there: 1333:
in the decision making for the resurrected project. There would be four types of involvement: 1.) Declaring interest in becoming an FS director, 2.) Declaring interest in designing the new standards, 3.) Declaring interest in scheduling the current sounds to be reevaluated, 4. ) Declaring interest in being a member (reviewer and nominator).--
3138:
anthems were automatic, and duplicate audio-only and audio-video versions could pass as a set. When I got good at finding FSes, people started complaining that I was bulldozing crappy national anthems and redundant work through the process. Now you are saying lets design a set of criteria with a Bubble test and resume.--
2509:
thematic value to be considered for featured status. On that matter, we need to look at hypothetical examples to work through these issues, I think. An interesting example, assuming copyright weren't an issue, would be the unaccompanied choral performance of an excerpt from one of Mozart's instrumental movements in the
3170:
Just to be clear, I do understand that from one perspective there is a general attempt to raise the standards, but from my perspective this looks like you are going from 1.) help get us some national anthems, they are surefire FS works, to 2.) well only get us those that are compositionally pleasing,
2816:
said, I think I can reassure Tony1 a bit: The problem with national anthems has largely disappeared, as we seem to have general agreement that a vocal work should not be represented by a brass band arrangement, particularly for countries that lack a brass band tradition, like Yemen. I mean, one could
2116:
Also, you remain silent on the audio only version of a video. This is one of the two major changes in the spirit of the rules that led to a lot of debate about my contributions to the project. When I started, an audio only version for those with slower connections was basically an automatic FS if the

(One could conceivably have five notable singers for which the only free-licensed recording was the same song.) If the two versions serve to illustrate the same point, only the better should
1774:
On another point, we do have to be pragmatic about this. We do the best process we can do with the resources and people we have. An active project will attract more talented people over time, and criteria should be raised as that happens. And it's totally possible to screw up the process in ways that
1412:
is what I am talking about. It would be the old criteria. We would pass all the faithful and competent but run of the mill stuff as GS like national anthems like we use to pass before the hysteria over the abundance of minimum standards candidates erupted. The audiofiles could then set their own much
1332:
I think we should take a set amount of time to consider my proposal. Something like 7 days. During this period, I propose that all former regular members of the project be contacted and given seven days to state whether they support a FS/GS revamp and if they support whether would like to be involved
1320:
during a 60-day window. About 6 pieces will be renominated a day, which is doable because these nominations should be easier due to familiarity and description pages that are already up to par. Some days the only nomination might be an 8 or 10 part piece. Care should be taken that no day include much
1219:
I am pretty certain that we will not achieve a consensus on criteria with FS in its current format. There is a polar split between those who want significantly higher standards and those who want the standards to remain as they have been in the past. I think my proposal below is about the only way to

It's been discussed in the Signpost comments. However, you kept trying to create criteria that were impossible to fulfil with what resources were available, the doing of which kills off processes long before they can attract the talent that would have allowed your desired criteria to be met; you were
356:
How much progress has been made on this front? Are we agreed on what needs to be changed, it's been 2 months since the early discussions were initiated and we need the criteria to be rewritten based on the above suggestions. It's a good thing we haven't gotten many new nominations in the interim, but
253:
I'll try and upload it as soon as I can; I think the performance is good, but I'd resist putting it in for FS because the piano sound is very artificial. If I can get my old copy of Cubase working I'll try and replace it with something a bit better (Adam uploaded the midi file with the MP3 version at
3343:
You are talking about taking the melody of one vocal tune and using it with music for another vocal tune. What about an instrumental music composition that is added to lyrics produced separately? In that case, isn't the melody an instrumental work regardless of whether the joint piece with vocals is

Also, you rather exaggerate the instrumentality of Turkey in the Straw, the lyrics are still quite well-known, though I will buy that instrumental versions have entered the standard repertoire, through its use in cartoons, so it could well get
2753:
Regardless of weirdness, plainness and undistinguished nature, a national anthem is notable and a sound file of it has such high encyclopedic value, I think it is a disservice to WP and FS, in particular, to say any national anthem is ineligible to be an FS. Your decision to suddenly deride assorted
2662:
General principles of the project should be our prime focus at the moment - I think it should be in terms of "A Featured Sound should be...". These principles should be ones which all FS should have, with the caveat that there may be occasions where a recording can be accepted as an FS without, say,
2601:
All of the above (and the conversation below) seems very apt and straightforward and most importantly sensible suggestions to theoretical ideas. How are we to construct a set of (readable) criteria which can advise anyone who'd like to nominate a recording? Would a sensible approach be to reduce the
2167:
I too would like audio-only versions to be considered part of a set with the full audio-video combo. However, when the winds changed, audio versions of audio-video FS works were shot down as duplicative redundancies. That is the second major issue. As we attempt to help improve WP during its time of
1860:
My prediction is that there will be a lot of talking about how to perfect the criteria, but when it becomes apparent to those that don't want the project to go forward with escalated standards, things will break down. I am pretty sure that the only way to revive the project and raise standards is to
1761:
We are currently holding an entire process hostage because of old battles, without giving the process any chance to rise above the previous issues, because everyone's blocking any start to featured sounds until every old battle is fought to everyone's satisfaction. Seriously, we can't talk about how
1074:
I support the attempt to get FS going again, and I have no idea whether ANI was the appropriate place to discuss this first or not. Before going any further with this project it is important that we discuss the criteria and come to some consensus. While I can understand Tony's misgivings about, say,

Adam, tick to all of your five responses (I think). How to express these simply and briefly in the criteria? Some detail is clearly required. TTT, the Yemeni national anthem was a shockingly weird composition; many others are ... let us say ... musically very plain and undistinguished (= boring ...
2043:
In the case of Semper Fidelis, however, the older recording is from over a decade after Sousa left the USMB, although still within Sousa's lifetime. If the performances were a bit different between the older and newer, it being from Sousa's lifetime might be cause to defend the older one, but as it

When the conflict erupted prior to the demise of the project there were some who felt only one version of any work should be featured. Others felt that if multiple versions (audio vs. video and/or old vs. modern) are contributing encyclopedic value to WP through use in articles, then each should be

system. Now, obviously, there were problems with the past featured sounds, but after a year of no featured sounds, and probably 2 years since it was active, given it's a common law system, noone without a crystal ball can have any idea what the problems will be with the relaunch, until such time as

Noone has suggested a single, coherent change to the criteria, of the "I think we should add X" or "The wording of Y should be Z", except, ironically enough, me. (I suggested we deal with the apparently only example anyone can think of as a problem - brass band recordings of sung music - by working
1663:
Those are a few reasons why a two-tiered system with articles is a good idea, while a two-tiered FS project would not be. As far as I'm concerned, what is needed with the FS project are tight guidelines upon which the community agrees. If that isn't achievable, then the project probably isn't worth
1119:
True, but do we start right at the beginning again? A blank piece of paper - what is an FS supposed to be? I am interested in TTT's suggestion, but I'm not sure that a GS is the answer until we have an idea upon which basis to decide. Should we go back to the old, not very good criteria? The newer,
961:
So, the relationship between quality of subject and quality of photograph in FPC is quite different from quality of subject (the composed music) and quality of performance, and quality of recording in an FSC. This is a very troubling aspect and led to a lot of drama last time. I don't have a simple
838:
The SP comments underneath a journalistic story are quite irrelevant. It needs to be discussed here. You cannot just lumber in and set it up without consensus. At the moment, the structure and criteria are entirely unsuitable. And I note that the criteria were changed without consensus a few months
631:
All very true. In addition I think that there is a lot to learn from FP in terms of their criteria should FS become a going concern again. Sounds do have many issues which don't arise for pictures as soon as you start assessing their value and worth and these should be dealt with clearly too. Badly
531:
A shame; an inactive notice has been put on this page for understandable reasons. Ultimately few Wikipedians are going to be interested in getting involved in a project which doesn't even know what it stands for. I have vehement disagreement with many of Tony1's points as noted elsewhere, but maybe

Adam, I think you are misunderstanding the problem. At FS, traditionally, National Anthems were considered significant enough in terms of notability and encyclopedic value that they were basically an automatic pass. You have stated that there is an understanding that brass band recordings of vocal

This should only apply where the recording is meant to illustrate the piece in question; if we want to illustrate a discussion on how the 19th century brass band intersected with popular theatre, that brass band arrangement of Wagner you discussed above would be appropriate (though the caption had

For pragmatic reasons, I suspect that we should occasionally accept certain standard substitutions, for instance, piano-and-voice recordings of operatic works. The purpose of featured sounds is to encourage more content to be created, and the more people required to make a recording, the lower the

Do we really need good sounds? I think that that specific proposal will go the same path as the Good lists and Good pictures ones. The current standard for both sounds, images and lists cannot be lowered or raised to make a difference like the one that is showcased at GA/A/FA. However, I'd like to

I think I mangled my last message (that's what comes from writing messages on WP during the kids' bed-time). I'm happy to write a message which I will post onto the talk pages of former users of FS, along the lines of "FS is no longer a going concern, but please do keep on adding appropriate sound
606:
The last call for contributors was a flop.I think we just need to accept that there isn't a substantial interest in sound files by the general community. In addition, the technology to create high quality free versions of PD songs is still fairly expensive and it is time consuming to learn a piece
2380:
I have tried to tack this on to another discussion of duplicate versions, but since this is a special case let's analyze it separately. WP is becoming more and more of a mobile resource with growth in readership among handheld device users booming. It is pretty clear that we should almost require

I think the 1989 seems more accurate to the composition as written. As for audio-only versions of videos... Well, we probably allow a slightly-lower sound quality for videos at times, so there's that consideration, but my personal position is that it's worth providing a way to use the audio from

The complete delist is just for the 60-day evaluation period. All exceptional sound files will be restored to featured after re-evaluation. There is really no other way to separate the wheat from the chaff. One-off delistings will never catch up. If you think that a large number, possibly between

Another troubling issue used to be glaringly obvious: unlike FPC, there was some kind of unstated assumption that if a sound was rejected for promotion, it would be lost to the project. There's actually a binary structure in the relationship between sound files and the WMF movement: (1) delete or

These need to be resolved first, rather than leaping in unilaterally to open this forum for business as usual. Sounds (particularly music recordings) are much

Come to think of it. FS should have a retention section for cases where the related article or description page are at issue due to a change in the criteria. This would also be true for videos if we can come to a consensus that an alternate format audio-only file should be presented wherever the

In the interests of moving on: Do you agree that that sort of thing shouldn't be in the criteria, however? I mean, people can always vote oppose to anything, for any reason, (as I've said a few times, I think that most de facto criteria for a featured X project isn't written down anywhere) but I

Following the 60-day reevaluation, the project will begin accepting nominations for newly nominated and renominated works as well as delisting nominations. Promotion nomination will have two considerations: GS and FS. Support levels for GS would remain as before minimum three supports (including

Now, the thing about criteria is that most of the criteria for a featured process is unwritten. Read the featured picture criteria and compare it to what's done in practice. You won't see mention of old, damaged pictures being restored in it, but, thanks to Durova, me, and several other people,

demise there was contentious debate about the abundance of minimum standards candidates and the resulting pollution of the field of featured sounds. A schism arose in which several members wanted to tighten the criteria to achieve higher quality nominees and promoted works. From out of nowhere
992:
Now, there are some valid points: a brass band arrangement of a national anthem is much less valuable than a sung one. A brass band Wagner is much less valuable for Wagner's operas than for discussing Wagner's use in popular culture of the 19th and early 20th century, and, just like at featured
804:
There still appear to be several significant snagsā€”conceptual and proceduralā€”in the whole phenomenon of featured sounds. And just a minor point: the criteria are most unsatisfactory, as are the instructions. Wouldn't it be a better idea to get people together to discuss whether there's a way of

You are asking me to agree to a soap bubble test of a process, meaning this is now becoming like after the reconstruction era when all men had the right to vote, but black folks first had to pass a test of demonstrating how many bubbles are in a bar of soap. I joined FS at a time when National

I think a (strong) preference for recordings of the original scoring might be useful, as opposed to transcriptions and the substitution of intended instruments. There might not be objection to uploading a synthesiser performance of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, but there would have to be specific

If an item fails the new higher level criteria it shall remain GS, and if it passes it shall be rated FS. No current FS shall be demoted below GS until the project becomes fully operational and delistings resume. The GS level should be the old FS criteria as applied when it allowed for routine

I don't think a process that's a bit marginal already benefits from being split in two, and I don't think we should bring taste into it too much: Something can be highly notable but not very good; for example, the song "Friday", or the more random works of John Cage (not that they'll be freely

Again, an admins' noticeboard has utterly no status in this matter. I have no idea why you raised it there, nor why no one there said, errr ... ask on the talk page, please. They don't seem to realise that admins have specific roles and responsibilities, of which relaunching featured forums is
