The problem with Wikipedia? Too many lists about trivial intersections.

*Topics of interest: (Baroque) music, (military) history, and, surprisingly, [[cricket]]!

*I've managed to (by random luck) trace back my first edit (using an IP), which was in August 2016. So I've been here, sporadically, for about {{age|August 2016}} years.

==Hymnology==

Thinking on starting a possible Wikiproject/taskforce on this. In any case, for the time being; a list of relevant high quality sources with commentary:

*John Julian, ed. (1907). [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Dictionary_of_Hymnology A Dictionary of Hymnology].

{{quote|An important publication, and unprecedented nor surpassed in scope since then. Most of the information within is quite accurate despite the age of the publication. Statements about "common use" must be taken with a grain of salt as they're, well, a century old...}}

*J.R. Watson and Emma Hornby, eds. [https://hymnology.hymnsam.co.uk/ Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology], The Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology. Canterbury Press.

{{quote|The modern successor to the above, includes of course updates from the last century of research on the matter. The catch? It's not exactly freely available so unless you are lucky you will only have limited access to the article about your desired search subject...}}

*Chris Fenner, ed. [https://www.hymnologyarchive.com/ Hymnology Archive]

{{quote|Modern scholarship, on a variety of hymns, on both the text and the tunes. Freely available, too.}}

*[https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000533466 ''The Hymn''], [New York] : Hymn Society of America, 1949-present

{{quote|A journal focusing primarily on hymns. Freely available (save for the few latest volumes).}}

*[https://hymnary.org/ Hymnary.org]

{{quote|Primarily a database, includes commentary from some hymnbook companions (including John Julian above). Occasionally blurbs from the editors there about the hymns. A great help in looking up textual variants and usually also has statistics about the pairings of text and tune (most, but not all, major hymnals are included).}}

*P. Munson and J. F. Drake [http://www.congsing.org/hymn_studies.html Hymn Studies {{!}} Congregational Singing]

{{quote|In-depth textual analysis, occasionally some musical analysis of the tunes. Not topic specialists as far as I can see, but they hold academic qualifications in related fields, and both authors have published material with [[Good News Publishers]]. Caution should probably be used for any claims that seem particularly opinionated, but otherwise this is a fine source for textual analysis.}}
