[edit] Change of titles of Irving Godt's two articles

No tweaking will change the fact that in Irving Godt's two basic Martines articles the composer's name is correctly given as "Marianna Martines" [1] and [2]. I have seen many weird things on Wikipedia, but the changing of titles of published scholarly articles really tops everything!--Suessmayr (talk) 13:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Whose house was it?

Hello, I changed a reading that said that the Martines family "resided with" Metastasio. In English this wording implies that the residence belonged to Metastasio and that the family were staying there as his guests; whereas the sources I have read say that it was the other way around. If this is not correct please change, indicating sources. Opus33 (talk) 17:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

The residence belonged to the parish of St. Michael's. Metastasio was the main tenant and sublet part of his apartment to the Martines family. Unfortunately most of the literature on Martines is deeply flawed.--141.203.254.65 (talk) 10:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
