Should any mention be made that Charleston and Spoleto are sister cities? Adam from Charleston-- Adam ( talk) 04:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
It would appear that the full program details - series, titles, locations, dates, ticket prices, etc. - have been copied into the article from the Festival's website. Even if not all is totally copied, Wikipedia is not an advertising medium for any specific event or venue. I have removed the majority of the added text by User:Spoletousa and subsituted a summary of the highlights of the Festival's program to give an idea of what it contains.
Readers can find all the detail they want by going on the Festival's website. Viva-Verdi ( talk) 15:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
I removed the section about other opera festivals, and it was returned. I removed it again, but decided to put it back myself and start a discussion here instead. I don't think the article needs to have an entire section directing readers to just one specific link. I have two reasons for that. First, there is already a collection of related links in a dedicated box at the bottom of the article, and the link to other opera festivals is already there. It seems redundant to list it both at the bottom and then highlight the one link in its own section in the article. Second, regardless of there being a link at the bottom already, I'm not sure the shout out to a list of opera festivals is right for its own specific section of the article. Spoleto isn't even an opera festival in the first place, but even if it were, having a "see also" which directs to just one thing isn't really justified as a co-equal section of an article about the event itself. That's why moving it to a collection of similar links at the bottom of the page seems like the right solution. ProfReader ( talk)
In making significant changes to the article, User talk:Spoleto removed over 4,000 bites of text, most of it being the history of the Festival. In the past, this user appears to have been something of an insider and has posted huge chunks of copy from the Festival's website, which were reverted. (See article history).
