Günther von Schwarzburg - quick question

Hi, I was expanding it today and noticed you list this as one of the references:

Are you sure 'Vampyr, Der' is the right article? Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Another question about the opera I've expanded the synopsis a bit today. I was also going to say that it was loosely based on the historical events. I haven't added that yet, but it seems to me that if the role list is correct, it does deviate substantially from the historical events. For one thing, Karl's mother died in 1330 (long before the succession crisis events took place) and her name was Elisabeth not Asperta. Also, is it Asperta or Asberta? I've seen it more often with the "b". Does Grove list the role with a "p"? (I'll reply about the sources/references thing on my talk page.) Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Have just added another bit re ref. format on my talk page (to keep the thread together). Best, Voceditenore (talk) 10:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

opera titles - capitalization

Sorry about the headache. But I noticed on my CD's the titles are capitalized. "Il Turco in Italia" makes more sense than "Il turco in italia." Just my opinion, though.

Contacting you

I won't be on here much longer so there isn't anything to say really. I just came back to tie up loose ends. Ciao and best of luck.Broadweighbabe (talk) 21:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Opera and Bio projects

Do you mean that the Opera project is now affiliated with WPBiography? Because if not, it's okay for articles to be tagged for more than one project... Katharineamy (talk) 06:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

All good, then - I personally think it's good for pages to be tagged with any applicable projects, as it only increases the number of people who might work on improving them! Katharineamy (talk) 13:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Banner relics etc.

I was only peripherally aware of Singer and Singer1 (there are about 160 in total). It's amusing to see the Opera Project banner on Sarah Brightman's Talk page (though I see that she's appeared in The Merry Widow and The Pirates of Penzance), but a brief scan down the lists seems to indicate that they're pretty much all ours. The only problem with the re-redirect is if HappyMelon only deals with the old Opera template, but if the articles have Opera cats they'll get picked up on the category trawl if they haven't already been done on the template trawl.

You may have noticed that Melonbot has now got the all-clear, so I've elbowed HM again. Also, did you see his no-can-do note to me about the size of the Comments typeface on the banner?

Also on the banner, I notice that a number of banners have a link to their project's Portal (e.g. Template:WikiProject Theatre). As Jay is doing an excellent job on our Portal, I'd vote for doing the same with our banner. --GuillaumeTell 15:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC) (I see you've snazzed up your .sig too!)

Roy Henderson and two similar articles

Only English operatic baritones should be used for those three articles, since "Wikipedia" only lists the undercategory when a category is divided into at least another one. Extremely sexy (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

King and Charcoal Burner

Hello Kleinzach! I just created that, can you please check and correct grammar and syntax? I was little tipsy yesterday, so it seems to me more czenglish than english:) Thank you for your time and help... Vejvančický (talk) 11:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Inline request

Sorry, I don't buy into the idea that three editors get to create a guideline that is then incorporated by reference onto all sorts of other Wikipedia articles, especially when that guideline falsely asserts consensus on what is clearly a controversial issue. I am fairly disinterested in this affair--I don't add infoboxes or delete them, never have, it's not my bag--but I won't tolerate little nag tags being placed across the encyclopedia on all sorts of articles because a small group of people decide they want to pre-empt the creation of infoboxes with a bogus guideline. I'm trying to think of some place outside of the Opera Wikiproject where we might bring this up to get some outside perspectives. Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines is about the best I've been able to find. Any other suggestions? Robert K S (talk) 07:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Culture of the Song Dynasty

You recently removed the opera banner on this article's talk page. Why would you do that? Have you read the large section on theatrical drama in the article? That's the reason why the banner is there in the first place.--Pericles of AthensTalk 07:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I see. I wasn't aware that it focused exclusively on Western opera. I would add a different banner in its place, but there is no WikiProject for Chinese opera, as evident by Talk:Chinese opera. In the meantime, WikiProject Opera will have to do.--Pericles of AthensTalk 07:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Changed it to theatre instead...--Pericles of AthensTalk 07:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
