Talk:Emanuel Leplin

Adding categories to an article

Dear Wikipedians,

I would greatly appreciate it if someone who knows how to do it would tell me how to find and include new categories in a Wikipedia article (specifically, the Emanuel Leplin article). Thank you.

Emanuel Leplin

It has been suggested that this article does not contain a neutral point of view. The article has 57 references. They are either corroborations or reviews. Wikipedia requires secondary sources. Every review and every quotation in this article is from a cited secondary source. The author has included quotations from every article available about Leplin. Let anyone who seeks to find an negative review or quotation with a view to "balance" the alleged imbalance make the attempt.

If you read the article, you will see that its relevance to other articles in Wikipedia pertains. To briefly review, he had strong associations with Enrique Jorda, a conductor of the San Francisco Symphony who premiered six major works by Leplin including his First Symphony, Josef Krips, who recorded all nine Beethoven symphonies with the London Symphony Orchestra, and premiered Leplin's Second Symphony, and especially Pierre Monteux, who premiered major works by Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky (including the famous premier of the Rite of Spring, and Petrushka), and was the conductor of SFS when Leplin conducted his first two major orchestral works, the second one, Comedy, eleven times on the 1947 transcontinental tour by SFS. Leplin won UC Berkeley's Prix de Paris, enabling him to study composition with Darius Milhaud, George Enescu and Roger Sessions. All of these facts are substantiated in the article about Leplin, who, before his untimely death, was repeatedly championed in the San Francisco and Bay Area press. It cannot be helped that the press found no fault. Rleplin (talk) 01:32, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Adding a photo

I have photos of Emanuel Leplin from circa 1941. It was during WWII, and they were taken by someone who would be 102 if still alive. The photographer was an unknown fellow soldier, and since he was unknown, so would his estate be. There is no one to claim copyright infringement. Is it Wiki policy never to allow a photo of E. Leplin, American composer and painter, in his article, when every other composer in Wikipedia has one, and every other painter? Thank you. Rleplin (talk) 23:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
