I'm not convinced this article should even exist. It starts with a statement about the commission's function which only mentions part of its role, it's got a minor controversy that doesn't seem to belong, it lists too many officers, and doesn't even show notability. I guess we could stub it. Any suggetions? Dougweller ( talk) 11:38, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Are you sure that Steven R Gerber passed away? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.227.188.166 ( talk) 20:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC) (UTC)
Thank you for your post on my StudentQuery talk page. I was blocked as a sock puppet of DMRRT, which I am not. I am not trying to badger, I am trying to ask questions, but the section of the deleted article is closed and says not to type there. There doesn't seem to be a board where you can discuss things like this – at least I can’t find it. And I cannot type on my own original talk page. I honestly feel like what’s the point?
But trying to do my due diligence. I went to the library this morning and found many newspaper and magazine articles about her. I think it would be easy to justify an article. I also pulled the original articles about the Bird Award. There are 4 about it in different magazines. Apparently, she is a winner of the Bird Award, not the Bird Lifetime Achievement award. Medscape got that wrong in their bio of her and it appears to have been carried over by others. Not sure I can attach a picture here of one of the original articles showing that? I checked her website and she has it right. Her website says” She is the 1996 recipient of the Bird Award given at the American Association of Respiratory Care Annual Conference for her extensive writing in Pulmonary Medicine.”
So, this is interesting, this is a case of the author’s website being right and the third party source being wrong. And as for her self-published book, it doesn't mention it at all. It says: “Margaret Varnell Clark is an award-winning writer and editor. She has been a field correspondent for Advance for Respiratory Care News Magazines since 1990. She has also worked with Reuters Health and PBS television and is the author of Inspiration: Your Guide to Better Breathing; The Louisiana Irish; and Asthma: A Clinicians’ Guide.” That’s it! Not very promotional.
Tulane has a lot of information about her, but it is in their archive and not indexed. It is just in vertical files. What would you do with that? I had no intention of writing an entry about her when I started this. I am finding though, that there is so much more to this author. She wrote a play that was performed from February - September 2002 in New Orleans and then in other parts of the state as a one off. But she doesn't publicize that. There are a couple of newspaper articles about it. The list of television shows is extensive too, but there were only 4 in the article DMRRT wrote. And again she doesn't publicize that. According to some sources she was also the editor of a journal called Impressions for the International Edgar Degas Foundation, now defunct. And there are references to writing for some kind of television work in Canada? The articles just say things like, currently working on a television show in Montreal, etc.
So what would be the best thing to do now? I read that you are away. Have a great trip. StQuery2 ( talk) 21:04, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

As of today's date April 27, 2015 I have uploaded what I can to my neophyte article about Audrey Capel Doray. This includes one image, which I understand may be deleted. Because she is a visual artist I feel that she needs a gallery of her work added to the article. The article also needs to be edited, with her input, for errors and also for further Wikipedia errors I have made. I am not able to continue with this project at the moment and ask if you are willing to assist her with the article directly? I know that she appreciates the work we've done so far. If you agree I can give you her email address. Conceptual-Aesthetics ( talk) 18:08, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Conceptual Aesthetics Conceptual-Aesthetics ( talk) 18:08, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Voceditenore -
In looking at recordings of Norma I wondered at the superfluous use of "Cat:", and found that another user had attempted to remove these unnecessary indications, only to be reverted by Viva-Verdi. Whence I found, per his note, at the project recording styles page that "Cat:" is not used for "short style" but only for "table style". Since this doesn't make any sense to me, I wonder if you might be able point me to the project discussion(s) where this seemingly strange distinction was decided. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Voce. AfC is something where you and I despite collaborating well for years may have opposing opinions. I and some other admins and users, including DGG have maintained for a long time that AfC is not actually doing a very good job at all. In fact it creates more heat than light and a lot of confusion. It also is the venue for one or two editors whose main objectives are to demonstrate their strength through rivalry of developing scripts. AfC has been the source of a lot of acrimony, a great deal of dishonest reviewing, and even more simply cluess treatment of submissions. I introduced some minum criteria for reviewers which was endorsed by a majority consensus at not one,but two RfC but nobody at AfC wanted to enact what they voted for so there are still several users every week who attempt to add themselves to the list of accredited reviewers. Ironically, and even more poignant, a RfC was indeed held and a consensus retained to either merge AfC to NPP, or to create an NPP style feed and software solution for it. That consensus still stands but those of us who might have carried it through to its final development and implementation gave up on it without following it through - AfC as a project is too fractious to really collaborate as a team. And this is what MSGJ may probably be missing. Best, -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 11:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I looked at the edit dated 20th Feb, and it was essentially the same as the Amazon review, so no copyright infringement. I'm unconvinced that it is ready for submission yet, given the generally hagiographic tone, eg She is the latest of her family to achieve international renown. followed by sections of her family's achievement (notability is not inheritable, so no real point to this), Miss Schartz instead of just the surname, "Career highlights" rather than "Career".

Hi, voceditenore. There appears to be a slight mistranslation in the lead paragraph. "Morte d'amour" can't mean "death of love"; French for "death" is "la mort", and "death of love" would be "la mort de l'amour". "Morte d'amour", where "morte" is the feminine of the past participle of "mourir", translates as "[woman] dead of love". I'm telling you here because I don't seem to be able to follow it up, or at least I don't see it in Casaglio's Almanacco, which is where the link goes. Cheers, Awien ( talk) 23:07, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't know how to reference this information, but his birthday is plainly listed, on his own Facebook account, as follows: https://www.facebook.com/rene.bazinet2/about and I believe it looks better as the exact date, too. Can you please change it? Also, please change the photo caption back to how I edited it, as listing his name, again, is redundant and it's more accurate the way I listed it, as the photo wasn't taken during a workshop session. It was taken at the Studio Bizz workshop facilities, while -No- workshop was in progress. I believe it looks better the way I listed it, too. It would be the respectful thing to do, as well, considering it's the caption to my picture. I didn't change any of your lovely article, out of respect for your work and I'd appreciate you doing the same for me. Thank you, again, for composing such a very nice article. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 13:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
I believe you have some sort of personal vendetta, which you're now playing out against my making -any- edits to your work. This is unfortunate and it makes no sense. I have given you praise and thanked you for the lovely work you've done on Mr. Bazinet's page, as a direct result of my picture Deletion Request, and was only endeavoring to make the area - beneath my picture of him - appear accurate. His DOB is substantiated on both his own Facebook page, which is 'publicly' accessible and also on the IMDb site, which is used as a reference for his article, here. There should be no problem including it beneath his picture. Besides which, surely you can see that it looks strange and unprofessional the way it stands. Moreover, I do not see the relevance of discussing the -personal- problem(s) you appear to have, with me, on the article's talk page. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 15:37, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I am new to this forum, however I wanted to say I admire the way you dealt with such an unpleasant circumstance concerning the "onslaught" you were subjected to concerning your edits of Rene Bazinet's page. It just so happens that I "know" the identity of the "person" who gave you trouble; suffice to say that "she" DOES NOT have a relationship with RB, DOES NOT speak for RB, nor does she have RB's "ear" or approval for anything concerning his page (with the exception that she did indeed take the photographs that were in dispute). She is misleading everyone here, giving the impression she "knows all" and has the inside track concerning RB... I assure you (as one who knows RB personally), she does not....
Thank you for your time Voceditenore. Parenchyma18 ( talk) 15:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
To clarify things, Voceditenore, the person who is spreading this gossip does not have an intimate relationship with René Bazinet. She is simply a fan, who has recently begun to develop an acquaintance with him. Conversely, René and I spent a significant amount time together, throughout the years, but ultimately had a falling out over very personal issues, which are really no one’s business other than ours. Talking about them is not suitable in a public forum, such as this.
Parenchyma18 is guilty of a falsehood by stating that I do not know René personally. In point of fact I know him far more personally than she. Suffice it to say, he is extremely unhappy about how our relationship ended and is still quite bitter about it. Therefore, I have prevailed upon the help of another person to try and get through to René, for me, in regard to the matter of his birthday, which he is apparently unwilling to change on the FB page, due to not knowing how.
It is unfair and inequitable to talk about me behind my back and I consider it quite offensive, too. I’m only going to mention this once and not attempt to defend myself against any future messages between the two of you. Please understand, however, that if Parenchyma18 really believed in "The Golden Rule" she would not be posting gossip about private matters, which are none of her affair and that don’t concern her, in the least. Moreover, I don't believe Wikipedia should allow it anywhere in its venue. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 13:12, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Most gracious offer, thank you again! Parenchyma18 ( talk) 16:08, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Any so-called "unpleasant, personalized" commentary you are referring to was in direct response to those who were downright insulting to me, as I endeavored to stand up for myself. In every instance I simply told it like it was and always comported myself in a civilized manner, which is more than I can say for some of the members, such as this perfect example - of the following, from the 'Deletion Request' page. "No valid rationale for deletion, nothing particularly inappropriate about the images and the insistence on removal is apparently the result of spite over control of the contents of the en.wp article. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 16:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC) ------- (my response) Now, FreerangeFrog your statement is just plain false and offensive. It's rather mean-spirited and petty, too. Don't any of you realize how you've all ganged up on me and this discussion has degenerated into a bullying session? Please reconsider your premises, here, and treat me with some respect. ------- FreeRangeFrog didn't even understand that the issue had nothing to do with images being inappropriate. He like many of the members, who commented, didn't read through the posts or comprehend the issue. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 01:15, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
I guess you may never 'get it' Voceditenore. Well, if that doesn’t beat all, both of you have conveniently chosen to shine me on when I come up with perfectly viable solutions that would also provide Parenchyma18 with a chance to prove that she actually knows René personally and for decades no less. That says it all, as far as I’m concerned and anyone else who wants to see the truth will agree. All Parenchyma18 was interested in doing is dressing me down and showing me up as some sort of charlatan, when it is she who is the poser and thinks she has cleverly hoodwinked, you, Voceditenore. Where is the justice in that? In all fairness, I've always suspected, you’ve had a personal vendetta against me ever since the ‘Deletion Request’ process where you first unkindly challenged my reading impediment and took umbrage at my reference to your ego. So, it wasn’t difficult for someone who spouted depreciating reproaches, about me, to get you to believe them.
The trouble is Parenchyma18 isn’t very clever, at all, and anyone who wants to can clearly see through her subterfuges. By simply being content with the mudslinging she aimed at me and ignoring my constructive suggestions, she has proven everything she claims about herself is untrue. No one who actually knows René personally, for decades, and obviously loathes me would want my picture representing him if they had a nice one, of their own, to display on his page. And if they did know him well, for that long a period, why wouldn’t they have such a picture or more than one, in fact? At the very least they would want to see his accurate and correct birthday listed and would make a concerted effort to see it recorded in the info box, too.
It’s a clear-cut case of someone who got her kicks by lambasting me. By twisting the facts, accusing me of rudeness, and of not knowing someone I spent a significant amount of time with, Parenchyma18 was the one who was rude, not I. By asserting that I’ve been deceptive, while she hid and gossiped, where I could only find her due to a hunch that she’d be bending your ear, Voceditenore, with her disparaging rhetoric, is a typical ruse. I put it to you that if Parenchyma18 cannot produce one single picture of René worthy of exemplifying him on his page, here, or is not interested in seeing his complete birth date listed, she is not a good friend of his, but only a fan and superficial acquaintance, who stooped to common muckraking in order to get some undeserved attention. I’ve effectively explained my standpoints and reasoning, for anyone who cares enough to read and grasp the logic behind them. On the other hand, Parenchyma18 cannot hide from the truth behind any more artifices……… Blythe Spirit ( talk) 19:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

A thought: We currently have 19 featured articles on operas and theatres/companies in our project's remit (plus another 13 on composers). I believe that doesn't include the Gilbert and Sullivan and Wagner; Wagner gets us one general article and two biographies ( Category:FA-Class_Richard_Wagner_articles) and - ignoring Creatures of Impulse, which isn't really an opera - Category:FA-Class Gilbert and Sullivan articles gives us three operas and a biography.
We could also use Category:FL-Class_Opera_articles and Category:FL-Class_Richard_Wagner_articles selectively
Should we just switch to fully featured? It'd mean losing some good articles, but it wouldn't be that big of a switch. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
For reasons I don't understand, the editor Haspajen nominated this picture for Featured Picture as a portrait of the Italian 17th lutenist and composer Francesca Caccini, editing in Wikipedia and Commons at several places as preparation for his nomination. Two editors, the second myself, pointed out that there is no evidence whatsoever for this attribution. Moreover, the attribution has never been suggested to my knowledge. The holding museum, the National Gallery of Art in Washington makes no mention of Caccini on their webpage and neither does any of several standard reference works I have consulted. Hafspajen's error appears to arise from the fact that CDs of Caccini's music, which is still performed today, are commonly illustrated by one of several paintings, among which Gentileschi's painting. But of course that doesn't imply she is the sitter. The attribution is, moreover, extremely implausible because the painting is an allegory in which the young lutenist is portrayed with the bodice of her kirtle loosed, the tassle dangling provocatively, suggesting matters amorous as well as musical, an ages-old alliance. Of course no sitter of the age would have allowed herself to be portrayed in this way.
For a period of some days Hafspajen declined to comment. It was only when an administrator intervened and commented that the attribution simply couldn't go forward in Wikipedia's voice as it stood, that Hafspajen made a revision. He now say the painting possibly depicts (his bolding) Caccini. The administrator is satisfied, but I demur. Hafspajen directs me to you. I should be glad if you would clarify. Thank you.

Could you not archive this? I mean, I know and understand why you did, but I'm actually actively using it. The Stage 2 discussions are because it's running low on Verdi and need to replenish it, but they don't replace it. Although, if the images are getting too much, we could archive the "done" section or turn it into a link list. Feel free to archive the Stage 2 section in a week or so, though.

Hi, I've created a new article, except that this time I've achieved as much in four days as I did in six weeks. Also, I have chosen a subject for which it is much easier to prove notability. When I created the page it seemed to go immediately into article space, so I'm hoping to avoid the AfC route. Would you have time to review Northern Lights (song), please, and give me the benefit of your opinion on it? Hopefully, there aren't any silly mistakes like disambiguations this time.

Carl Nielsen should be fine as well, but there's a little controversy at the FA over documentation, I think partially because

That vignetting is fixable - don't worry about that, just give me your impression as to how valuable it is. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:33, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
File:Giuseppe_Verdi,_Giovanna_d'Arco,_Vocal_Score_-_Restoration.jpg is now a featured picture. Could you handle this one?

Thanks for tweaking the article start at Nadine Koutcher. I'm a little skeptical on your source's (De Telegraaf) placing her birth year as 1983. I looked long and hard for that, but couldn't find a source. De Telegraaf got the audience prize wrong, so it's not infallible. I suspect they just subtracted 32 from 2015, which right now only has an evens chance of being right.
Didn't know persondata has been deprecated. Thanks for that.

I'm not convinced this article should even exist. It starts with a statement about the commission's function which only mentions part of its role, it's got a minor controversy that doesn't seem to belong, it lists too many officers, and doesn't even show notability.

Hi. Are you sure that Steven R Gerber passed away? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.227.188.166 ( talk) 20:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC) (UTC)
Thank you for your post on my StudentQuery talk page. I was blocked as a sock puppet of DMRRT, which I am not. I am not trying to badger, I am trying to ask questions, but the section of the deleted article is closed and says not to type there. There doesn't seem to be a board where you can discuss things like this – at least I can’t find it. And I cannot type on my own original talk page. I honestly feel like what’s the point?
But trying to do my due diligence. I went to the library this morning and found many newspaper and magazine articles about her. I think it would be easy to justify an article. I also pulled the original articles about the Bird Award. There are 4 about it in different magazines. Apparently, she is a winner of the Bird Award, not the Bird Lifetime Achievement award. Medscape got that wrong in their bio of her and it appears to have been carried over by others. Not sure I can attach a picture here of one of the original articles showing that? I checked her website and she has it right. Her website says” She is the 1996 recipient of the Bird Award given at the American Association of Respiratory Care Annual Conference for her extensive writing in Pulmonary Medicine.”
So, this is interesting, this is a case of the author’s website being right and the third party source being wrong. And as for her self-published book, it doesn't mention it at all. It says: “Margaret Varnell Clark is an award-winning writer and editor. She has been a field correspondent for Advance for Respiratory Care News Magazines since 1990. She has also worked with Reuters Health and PBS television and is the author of Inspiration: Your Guide to Better Breathing; The Louisiana Irish; and Asthma: A Clinicians’ Guide.” That’s it! Not very promotional.
Tulane has a lot of information about her, but it is in their archive and not indexed. It is just in vertical files. What would you do with that? I had no intention of writing an entry about her when I started this. I am finding though, that there is so much more to this author. She wrote a play that was performed from February - September 2002 in New Orleans and then in other parts of the state as a one off. But she doesn't publicize that. There are a couple of newspaper articles about it. The list of television shows is extensive too, but there were only 4 in the article DMRRT wrote. And again she doesn't publicize that. According to some sources she was also the editor of a journal called Impressions for the International Edgar Degas Foundation, now defunct. And there are references to writing for some kind of television work in Canada? The articles just say things like, currently working on a television show in Montreal, etc.
So what would be the best thing to do now? I read that you are away. Have a great trip. StQuery2 ( talk) 21:04, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

As of today's date April 27, 2015 I have uploaded what I can to my neophyte article about Audrey Capel Doray. This includes one image, which I understand may be deleted. Because she is a visual artist I feel that she needs a gallery of her work added to the article. The article also needs to be edited, with her input, for errors and also for further Wikipedia errors I have made. I am not able to continue with this project at the moment and ask if you are willing to assist her with the article directly? I know that she appreciates the work we've done so far.

Hi Voceditenore -
In looking at recordings of Norma I wondered at the superfluous use of "Cat:", and found that another user had attempted to remove these unnecessary indications, only to be reverted by Viva-Verdi. Whence I found, per his note, at the project recording styles page that "Cat:" is not used for "short style" but only for "table style". Since this doesn't make any sense to me, I wonder if you might be able point me to the project discussion(s) where this seemingly strange distinction was decided. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Voce. AfC is something where you and I despite collaborating well for years may have opposing opinions. I and some other admins and users, including DGG have maintained for a long time that AfC is not actually doing a very good job at all. In fact it creates more heat than light and a lot of confusion. It also is the venue for one or two editors whose main objectives are to demonstrate their strength through rivalry of developing scripts. AfC has been the source of a lot of acrimony, a great deal of dishonest reviewing, and even more simply cluess treatment of submissions. I introduced some minum criteria for reviewers which was endorsed by a majority consensus at not one,but two RfC but nobody at AfC wanted to enact what they voted for so there are still several users every week who attempt to add themselves to the list of accredited reviewers. Ironically, and even more poignant, a RfC was indeed held and a consensus retained to either merge AfC to NPP, or to create an NPP style feed and software solution for it. That consensus still stands but those of us who might have carried it through to its final development and implementation gave up on it without following it through - AfC as a project is too fractious to really collaborate as a team. And this is what MSGJ may probably be missing. Best, -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 11:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I looked at the edit dated 20th Feb, and it was essentially the same as the Amazon review, so no copyright infringement. I'm unconvinced that it is ready for submission yet, given the generally hagiographic tone, eg She is the latest of her family to achieve international renown. followed by sections of her family's achievement (notability is not inheritable, so no real point to this), Miss Schartz instead of just the surname, "Career highlights" rather than "Career".

Hi, voceditenore. There appears to be a slight mistranslation in the lead paragraph. "Morte d'amour" can't mean "death of love"; French for "death" is "la mort", and "death of love" would be "la mort de l'amour". "Morte d'amour", where "morte" is the feminine of the past participle of "mourir", translates as "[woman] dead of love". I'm telling you here because I don't seem to be able to follow it up, or at least I don't see it in Casaglio's Almanacco, which is where the link goes. Cheers, Awien ( talk) 23:07, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't know how to reference this information, but his birthday is plainly listed, on his own Facebook account, as follows: https://www.facebook.com/rene.bazinet2/about and I believe it looks better as the exact date, too. Can you please change it? Also, please change the photo caption back to how I edited it, as listing his name, again, is redundant and it's more accurate the way I listed it, as the photo wasn't taken during a workshop session. It was taken at the Studio Bizz workshop facilities, while -No- workshop was in progress. I believe it looks better the way I listed it, too. It would be the respectful thing to do, as well, considering it's the caption to my picture. I didn't change any of your lovely article, out of respect for your work and I'd appreciate you doing the same for me. Thank you, again, for composing such a very nice article. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 13:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
I believe you have some sort of personal vendetta, which you're now playing out against my making -any- edits to your work. This is unfortunate and it makes no sense. I have given you praise and thanked you for the lovely work you've done on Mr. Bazinet's page, as a direct result of my picture Deletion Request, and was only endeavoring to make the area - beneath my picture of him - appear accurate. His DOB is substantiated on both his own Facebook page, which is 'publicly' accessible and also on the IMDb site, which is used as a reference for his article, here. There should be no problem including it beneath his picture. Besides which, surely you can see that it looks strange and unprofessional the way it stands. Moreover, I do not see the relevance of discussing the -personal- problem(s) you appear to have, with me, on the article's talk page. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 15:37, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I am new to this forum, however I wanted to say I admire the way you dealt with such an unpleasant circumstance concerning the "onslaught" you were subjected to concerning your edits of Rene Bazinet's page. It just so happens that I "know" the identity of the "person" who gave you trouble; suffice to say that "she" DOES NOT have a relationship with RB, DOES NOT speak for RB, nor does she have RB's "ear" or approval for anything concerning his page (with the exception that she did indeed take the photographs that were in dispute). She is misleading everyone here, giving the impression she "knows all" and has the inside track concerning RB... I assure you (as one who knows RB personally), she does not....
Thank you for your time Voceditenore. Parenchyma18 ( talk) 15:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
To clarify things, Voceditenore, the person who is spreading this gossip does not have an intimate relationship with René Bazinet. She is simply a fan, who has recently begun to develop an acquaintance with him. Conversely, René and I spent a significant amount time together, throughout the years, but ultimately had a falling out over very personal issues, which are really no one’s business other than ours. Talking about them is not suitable in a public forum, such as this.
Parenchyma18 is guilty of a falsehood by stating that I do not know René personally. In point of fact I know him far more personally than she. Suffice it to say, he is extremely unhappy about how our relationship ended and is still quite bitter about it. Therefore, I have prevailed upon the help of another person to try and get through to René, for me, in regard to the matter of his birthday, which he is apparently unwilling to change on the FB page, due to not knowing how.
It is unfair and inequitable to talk about me behind my back and I consider it quite offensive, too. I’m only going to mention this once and not attempt to defend myself against any future messages between the two of you. Please understand, however, that if Parenchyma18 really believed in "The Golden Rule" she would not be posting gossip about private matters, which are none of her affair and that don’t concern her, in the least. Moreover, I don't believe Wikipedia should allow it anywhere in its venue. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 13:12, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Most gracious offer, thank you again! Parenchyma18 ( talk) 16:08, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Any so-called "unpleasant, personalized" commentary you are referring to was in direct response to those who were downright insulting to me, as I endeavored to stand up for myself. In every instance I simply told it like it was and always comported myself in a civilized manner, which is more than I can say for some of the members, such as this perfect example - of the following, from the 'Deletion Request' page. "No valid rationale for deletion, nothing particularly inappropriate about the images and the insistence on removal is apparently the result of spite over control of the contents of the en.wp article. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 16:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC) ------- (my response) Now, FreerangeFrog your statement is just plain false and offensive. It's rather mean-spirited and petty, too. Don't any of you realize how you've all ganged up on me and this discussion has degenerated into a bullying session?

He like many of the members, who commented, didn't read through the posts or comprehend the issue. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 01:15, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
I guess you may never 'get it' Voceditenore. Well, if that doesn’t beat all, both of you have conveniently chosen to shine me on when I come up with perfectly viable solutions that would also provide Parenchyma18 with a chance to prove that she actually knows René personally and for decades no less. That says it all, as far as I’m concerned and anyone else who wants to see the truth will agree. All Parenchyma18 was interested in doing is dressing me down and showing me up as some sort of charlatan, when it is she who is the poser and thinks she has cleverly hoodwinked, you, Voceditenore. Where is the justice in that? In all fairness, I've always suspected, you’ve had a personal vendetta against me ever since the ‘Deletion Request’ process where you first unkindly challenged my reading impediment and took umbrage at my reference to your ego. So, it wasn’t difficult for someone who spouted depreciating reproaches, about me, to get you to believe them.
The trouble is Parenchyma18 isn’t very clever, at all, and anyone who wants to can clearly see through her subterfuges. By simply being content with the mudslinging she aimed at me and ignoring my constructive suggestions, she has proven everything she claims about herself is untrue. No one who actually knows René personally, for decades, and obviously loathes me would want my picture representing him if they had a nice one, of their own, to display on his page. And if they did know him well, for that long a period, why wouldn’t they have such a picture or more than one, in fact? At the very least they would want to see his accurate and correct birthday listed and would make a concerted effort to see it recorded in the info box, too.
It’s a clear-cut case of someone who got her kicks by lambasting me. By twisting the facts, accusing me of rudeness, and of not knowing someone I spent a significant amount of time with, Parenchyma18 was the one who was rude, not I. By asserting that I’ve been deceptive, while she hid and gossiped, where I could only find her due to a hunch that she’d be bending your ear, Voceditenore, with her disparaging rhetoric, is a typical ruse. I put it to you that if Parenchyma18 cannot produce one single picture of René worthy of exemplifying him on his page, here, or is not interested in seeing his complete birth date listed, she is not a good friend of his, but only a fan and superficial acquaintance, who stooped to common muckraking in order to get some undeserved attention. I’ve effectively explained my standpoints and reasoning, for anyone who cares enough to read and grasp the logic behind them. On the other hand, Parenchyma18 cannot hide from the truth behind any more artifices……… Blythe Spirit ( talk) 19:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

A thought: We currently have 19 featured articles on operas and theatres/companies in our project's remit (plus another 13 on composers). I believe that doesn't include the Gilbert and Sullivan and Wagner; Wagner gets us one general article and two biographies ( Category:FA-Class_Richard_Wagner_articles) and - ignoring Creatures of Impulse, which isn't really an opera - Category:FA-Class Gilbert and Sullivan articles gives us three operas and a biography.
We could also use Category:FL-Class_Opera_articles and Category:FL-Class_Richard_Wagner_articles selectively
Should we just switch to fully featured? It'd mean losing some good articles, but it wouldn't be that big of a switch. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
For reasons I don't understand, the editor Haspajen nominated this picture for Featured Picture as a portrait of the Italian 17th lutenist and composer Francesca Caccini, editing in Wikipedia and Commons at several places as preparation for his nomination. Two editors, the second myself, pointed out that there is no evidence whatsoever for this attribution. Moreover, the attribution has never been suggested to my knowledge. The holding museum, the National Gallery of Art in Washington makes no mention of Caccini on their webpage and neither does any of several standard reference works I have consulted. Hafspajen's error appears to arise from the fact that CDs of Caccini's music, which is still performed today, are commonly illustrated by one of several paintings, among which Gentileschi's painting. But of course that doesn't imply she is the sitter. The attribution is, moreover, extremely implausible because the painting is an allegory in which the young lutenist is portrayed with the bodice of her kirtle loosed, the tassle dangling provocatively, suggesting matters amorous as well as musical, an ages-old alliance. Of course no sitter of the age would have allowed herself to be portrayed in this way.
For a period of some days Hafspajen declined to comment. It was only when an administrator intervened and commented that the attribution simply couldn't go forward in Wikipedia's voice as it stood, that Hafspajen made a revision. He now say the painting possibly depicts (his bolding) Caccini. The administrator is satisfied, but I demur. Hafspajen directs me to you. I should be glad if you would clarify. Thank you.

Could you not archive this? I mean, I know and understand why you did, but I'm actually actively using it. The Stage 2 discussions are because it's running low on Verdi and need to replenish it, but they don't replace it. Although, if the images are getting too much, we could archive the "done" section or turn it into a link list. Feel free to archive the Stage 2 section in a week or so, though.

Hi, I've created a new article, except that this time I've achieved as much in four days as I did in six weeks. Also, I have chosen a subject for which it is much easier to prove notability. When I created the page it seemed to go immediately into article space, so I'm hoping to avoid the AfC route. Would you have time to review Northern Lights (song), please, and give me the benefit of your opinion on it? Hopefully, there aren't any silly mistakes like disambiguations this time. In particular, could you check the way I am loading the images, please? Do I need to do more to create a fair use rationale? Thankyou. CaesarsPalaceDude ( talk) 14:11, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Hate to be a pain, but could you help with 69-72? Meant to get them all done, but it's been a bad week. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 03:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the extra stuff. I've been working through what Grove has to say, and there are things that I still need to deal with, hopefully tomorrow, but then I'm off to Grewelthorpe or thereabouts for a few days of folly from Tuesday, then back to York on Friday, then off to the ROH for King Roger and next (would you believe it) I've been summoned to spend a couple of weeks (11 May +) for jury service. Oh, well, it might (or might not) be interesting. Best ( User talk:GuillaumeTell) 00:12, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the tweak. I'm not as active on the opera project as I should be anymore, because I've moved into image work so much, so I don't know all the conventions of the page. By the way, you might be interested in User_talk:Crisco_1492#Request - there are quite possibly other illustrated vocal scores where those come from. By the way, if there's anything I can do to make the OotM stuff work better, let me know - I know a lot more about templating now than when I wrote it. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 18:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
In other news, my Verdi project in honour of Viva-Verdi will likely get us five new Verdi FPs, which should be a boon to the Opera portal - for his importance, Verdi is very underrepresented. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 10:46, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
This is now a featured picture, and should probably get added to Portal:Opera. I'll try to do so soon if you don't. =) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 12:17, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
By the way,
Giovanna d'Arco and the three
Les Troyens images are all but certainties to pass in the next few days.
Carl Nielsen should be fine as well, but there's a little controversy at the FA over documentation, I think partially because
carte de visites are a little obscure nowadays, and that's how it was first published. Luckily, I spent some time fixing the images on Nielsen's works to the temporally-nearest good-quality photograph of Nielsen, which gave it a few extra usages. =)

Also, have you noticed that Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Opera#Verdi_image_project keeps getting major setbacks: I keep adding more images to the to-do list, vastly increasing the amount of time it will take to complete. ;) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 21:51, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Oh, one other thing. What's your opinion of this? File:Hector Berlioz, Béatrice et Bénédict score cover.jpg It's a first edition - I have a source for that - but it's not particularly illustrative of any scenes in the opera. That vignetting is fixable - don't worry about that, just give me your impression as to how valuable it is. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:33, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
File:Giuseppe_Verdi,_Giovanna_d'Arco,_Vocal_Score_-_Restoration.jpg is now a featured picture. Could you handle this one? I'm worried I'll focus too much on the thing I find most interesting - the looseness of the biographical telling - to the exclusion of things that should be included. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 18:50, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Three images, all featured. How you want to handle this? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 22:21, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for tweaking the article start at Nadine Koutcher. I'm a little skeptical on your source's (De Telegraaf) placing her birth year as 1983. I looked long and hard for that, but couldn't find a source. De Telegraaf got the audience prize wrong, so it's not infallible. I suspect they just subtracted 32 from 2015, which right now only has an evens chance of being right.
Didn't know persondata has been deprecated. Thanks for that.
I'll let others expand for a while, but if I see no takers I'll expand it a bit myself. I watched the competition. Totally loved her. c1cada ( talk) 19:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Restored at original title. You are welcome to move it to ensemble if you prefer that, cheers Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:59, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for your help about the copyright issues of the page I am trying to create about the Museion. Unfortunately, I don't understand how to move on. Should I use the rewritten paragraph in the original page and then submit it again? Thanks. -- Lmelk ( talk) 07:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure how you want to handle Nielsen. Here's my proposal: Portal:Opera/Selected article/37. I edited the article text to focus on opera more. I can get La traviata, though. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 12:53, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps one or more of File:M. Browne - Herbert Railton - Sydney Grundy - Arthur Sullivan - Haddon Hall.jpg, File:Jules Massenet - Le Cid 3e Acte, 6e Tableau - L'Illustration.jpg, or File:William Russell Flint - W. S. Gilbert - Savoy Operas - Princess Ida 1.jpg? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
