Dear All,
We are having an edit-a-thon next Saturday that is related to an annual week-long broadcast of classical music works voted by the public. The works chosen are broadcast in the form of a Countdown with expert commentary and public engagement. These annual votes also result in a series of WP articles. This year, one of the compositions that has been selected is by Cécile Chaminadehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9cile_Chaminade, whom I expect will be the only female composer to be represented on the list. In fact, out of 1100 choices over 11 years, there have been only two other women. (They are Elena Kats-Cherni, who has two places, and Ann Carr-Boyd). As there was no article about Chaminade's selected composition - Concertino for flute and orchestra - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertino_for_flute_and_orchestra_%28Chaminade%29I have started one.
*If anyone would like to help improve this article or create more about Chaminade's other works (the list is on her bio article), that would be great. *
Information about the edit-a-thon is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/October_2012 The WP list article for which Chaminade's work was selected is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_100_Music_of_France_%28ABC%29 The article showing the summary results of the Countdowns for the last 11 years is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_100_Countdowns_%28ABC%29

This article (which has been moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute_Concertino_(Chaminade)) could use some help in referencing, as much of the content outside the intro remains unreferenced. There's also an issue of very close paraphrasing, verging on copyright infringement, that some edited could probably resolve.

Thanks for your help people. Although, looking through the edit summaries on the article, "What kind of ridiculousness is this?" and "WTF" are not the responses to a new stub made in good faith that one would hope for...
I am really pleased that the article can hold its head up higher now, thanks to your improvements. The proper references for which I have been waiting, should arrive soon. In the meantime, if you have them, add them.
