Not sure if this will be seen by anyone. I am Bigdog348 and my name is Armando Framarini. I do not care for the communications format here and very new to Wikipedia. My information is accurate and verifyable. I do not know how to add source on here yet and just thought I was editing the information. I wish I was alerted that someone had a problem with it. If anyone would like additional information on Susanne van Soldt and her family or would like to help edit this page they can contact me at armando348@gmail.com.
I happen to be descendent of the van Soldt family. Interesting piece about Susanne van Soldt is that she may have been a Musical Savant! Based on incorrect genealogical information it was surmized that she could not have written the music and credit has been given elsewhere. But the correct genealogy provides this possibility! If you are curious about this family just look into my photo album for documents at this link> http://picasaweb.google.com/armando348/VanSoldtGenealogyStamboomWapenWappenFamiliewapenBlasonCoatOfArms?feat=directlink—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigdog348 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Armando,
Saw your edits on Susanne, and as you know, discussed the matter with Antandrus (a Wikipedia administrator) before deciding to revert them. This decision was difficult, your info being more complete, but was in the end based on the fact that a) your data was unsourced AND b) to accept your data would have meant deleting previous, sourced data.
I based the original article on information in Monumenta Musica Neerlandica: Dutch Keyboard Music of the 16th and 17th Centuries (Alan Curtis, 1961). I dare say research has thrown up a lot more since then.
If you can supply valid references for your information I am sure it will be worth incorporating into the article - but please see:
I am sure you will agree that this is fair enough - otherwise anyone could write anything, and Wikipedia would lose all credibility.
Also, I think you should try to edit (and source) properly yourself, which for most people becomes a pleasure and a hobby. You may even think it worthwhile starting a new article on Susanne, apart from the van Soldt Manuscript one.
Incidentally, this discussion would also be appropriate on the Talk page of the article in question, and I am posting it there as well as replying to your email.
