[edit] Changing capitalization for Italian operas

Hi. I wonder if you could not change the capitalization of Italian opera titles. We follow the Italian capitalization rules of Grove, Oxford etc. It's an established system and we have hundreds of Italian operas capitalized in that way. I also see you've been adding some pictures. That's great. Please feel free to join the Opera Project. The project has full information about opera coverge, guidelines etc - including capitalization. Best - and welcome to Wikipedia. --Kleinzach (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Once again please don't change the capitilization as I see you have just done La pietra del paragone. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Opera#Operas:_original_language_titles. Thank you. --Kleinzach 22:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Il turco in Italia is one of the tricky ones. Grove gives small t, large I - presumably because they don't regard Turco as a proper noun (so it's like Il barbiere di Siviglia). If you have questions about this please ask on the Opera Project talk page. We have one or two Rossini specialists and they will be delighted to help. --Kleinzach 22:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
