Editing Richard Kostelanetz: First attempt

[edit ]

Untitled

[edit ]

Kostelanetz is a major cultural figure. In my own work on the music of John Cage I am very much indebted to him. I would like to offer my edits today as a first approximation of Wikipedia-compliant work toward the goal of a useable, reliable biography. I would appreciate any guidance and suggestions that anyone can offer.

I've removed some things that seem to violate Wikipedia's guidelines on tone, balance, etc. as detailed here [[1]]. In their place, more thoroughly sourced things will need to go. I'm working on that. It's difficult with a figure who is so central to the levers of cultural influence as Mr. Kostelanetz. Jperrylsu (talk) 00:21, 12 June 2016 (UTC) [reply ]
