The article includes many minor inaccuracies, too numerous to list here (example: he was never in Paris in his life). There are also a few important omissions, such as the fact that he built the first opera house in New York City.--dunnhaupt 15:18, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed "Further reading"
How do we know that the reference to a book about da Ponte removed today (5 December 2006) was just a commercial tie-in? Goochelaar 17:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- We don't, but we can look at the accounts other edits and come to a reasonable conclusion. Mak (talk) 17:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- OK, now I see that all the contributions by that user are about books from the same publisher. Goochelaar 21:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Problem
There's a problem here that I don't know how to fix. The page on bishops of Vittorio Veneto has a reference to Lorenzo Da Ponte, which redirects here, which is wrong, because it's about this Da Ponte's namesake, the bishop, and not about the librettist. 131.215.242.164 22:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. Fixed, the bishop now does not link here, but to an article not yet written on Lorenzo da Ponte (bishop). Wish they were all that easy! Eebahgum (talk) 17:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image of da Ponte
The portrait attached to this article has been found, by User:Wetwassermann and with the support of User:ChristianBier, not to be of da Ponte at all, but of Beaumarchais [1]. See also here Hence it has today been deleted from the da Ponte article. Eebahgum (talk) 22:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- The now attached portrait is ok. --Wetwassermann (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
