Wikipedia's article on Guido of Arezzo, the medieval music theorist credited with developing the four line staff and solmization syllables, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his career as a monk and teacher and the innovations attributed to him, and less reliable for precise details of dating and attribution that rest on manuscript transmission scholarship. Use it for basic biography; a specific contested dating or attribution claim needs a dedicated musicological source.

NotesWikipedia's article on Guido of Arezzo. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; use for standard, uncontroversial facts about Guido of Arezzo (biographical detail, dates, common definitions), not as the source for a contested or specialist scholarly claim.
