I wonder about "resolved the water problem". Chéreau's Ring was memorable, and extremely funny in parts, but I don't know that he "resolved" the problem. Perhaps "addressed"'? Just a suggestion. Tim riley ( talk) 17:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice article. Shouldn't it be called Rhinemaidens (Wagner)? Best regards, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 04:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that the current ROH production is the first to feature these. DIdn't the Bayreuth Peter Hall one have them too?-- Peter cohen ( talk) 12:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Since the article is about characters in an opera, it seems odd that the categories of Germanic myth and Legendary creatures are retained, but the Opera category removed as unsuitable. I am seeking an explanation from the editor who did this. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Article is quite good over all, couldn't find much. Leave me a note when done. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 03:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Schwarz was removed during the FAC due to its sourcing. I have managed to locate the book mentioned and here is the data in case someone would like to integrate her back in.
Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians by Nicolas Slonimsky (Editor), Laura Diane Kuhn (Advising Editor), and Dennis McIntre (Associate Classic Editor); published by Schirmer Books, 2001; 8th edition; Volume 5; ISBN: 0-02-865530-3 (volume 5), 0-02-865525-7 (the whole set).
(p. 3249) Schwarz, Hanna, German mezzo-soprano; b. Hamburg, Aug 15, 1943. She studied in Hamburg, Hannover, and Essen. In 1970 she made her operatic debut as Maddalena in Rioletto in Hannover. [...] In 1975 she made her debut at the Bayreuth Festival as Flosshilde in Das Rheingold, and continued to sing there during the next decade. In 1977 she made her U.S. debut as Fricka in Das Rheingold at the San Francisco Opera, [...]
Hope that was of help. Jappalang ( talk) 11:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Why don't we have a color version of File:Wagnersmaidens.jpg? I suggest using one of the colored pictures as the main/FA pic instead of this black&white reproduction. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 09:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Speight Jenkins insists that they should be called Rhine-daughters, not Rhine-maidens. Is that a better translation of Rheintöchter? — Ashley Y 10:54, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
This image, File:Andvari and the Rhinemaidens by Harry George Theaker 1920.jpg was added to the article in June 2014. It is from an unreliable source, a children's book published in 1920, which incorrectly depicts a relationship between Andvari and the Rhinemaidens. Andvari is a dwarf from the Poetic Edda, from whom Wagner derived his Alberich character but is by no means the same person. The Rhinemaidens do not appear in the Poetic Edda, and their interaction with Alberich in the Ring cycle is entirely Wagner's invention. It's a pretty picture, but misleading, so I have deleted it. It's not as though the article is short of images. Brianboulton ( talk) 10:06, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
