Please Complete Captcha?????

Post by RameauIsUnderrated »

When I want to submit a new composer page, and I haven't done one before, after I fill out everything and press submit, it says please complete captcha. What is this and how do I complete it?

A captcha is the little bit of obfuscated text that you have to copy to prove that you're not a robot:

I'm not sure Rameau is underrated as a composer, but as a theorist, surprisingly few people seem aware that almost all western music of any genre is shaped by his framework and terminology.

When a website shows you a captcha, it will typically make you type the contents into a text box right below it. But I don't see a captcha on the "add composer" page; are you using the correct link?
