Oh sorry, didn't know about the standard. I've just been copying what I see on existing pages.
I've also been adding a few cast lists in table format. Do those look okay? Are there other specific standards I should know? I looked at the Opera Project page but it doesn't give much detail on formatting. Any pointers would be a help so I don't do more stuff that has to be changed. Thanks.
 

 Trivia 

Thanks for backing me up on the removal of trivia in Carmen. I feel Wikipedia needs to offer more than just interesting but pointless information.  

Peer review
Hey Kleinzach, I hope Japan is lovely. I was wondering if you would do me the favor of taking an excursion away from your purview of opera and take a look at a pre-opera article I've been working on, Concerto delle donne. The page for the peer review is Wikipedia:Peer_review/Concerto_delle_donne. I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks,  (talk) 

Ivan Petrov
Hello Zinnober, i don't quite understand this remark. Theer is nothing strange in providing the link to the german article (incidentally written by me), because, as the latest example Ettore Bastianini tends to prove, english speaking wikipedians seem to deliberately ignore other languages (), and alos because Petrov is indeed little known and bears a very common name, like John Smith, if it were. He was a very fine singer though, as the external link on Petrow will show. You should do something about Alain Lombard ((de), (fr) as well, he was a very famous French opera conductor and director in the 1970s, before sliding slowly down until being completely forgotten today. Cheers,  

Zinnober? Who? A mistake? At any rate the Opera Project page really isn't the place for leaving unexplained, cryptic links to foreign Wikipedias. Please respect the way the main page is formatted. If you want to say something to members of the project then use the Talk page. In any case if a singer is little known, except to you, then the thing to do is to start of the article yourself. The point of the 'Can you help' section is to suggest names that other people are likely to be interested in. It's not for some form of personal POV promotion. Regarding your point about English-speaking Wikipedians, has it occurred to you that a lot of them can't speak foreign languages?  -  

Klein Zaches, genannt (called) Zinnober (ETA Hoffman). Only a private joke, sorry.  
About the other point  neither do i speak japanese or finnish, but whenever i write an article, i provide the links - if available - to those Wikis. It's not a matter of knowledge, it is - i am afraid - a matter of will.  

It's laborious to search 'manually' for articles in other languages. People use interwiki bots for this. -  

I know, but i won't let my world be (completely) taken over by machines ! Cheers,  

 Weisgall's ""The Stronger"" edit 

This is to differentiate it from the Strindberg play, and other items (songs, etc.) entitled ""Stronger"". Using an adjective in a title is a can of worms in Wikipedia, see Stronger. My wife is working on the Weisgall and noticed it was missing from his list of works. So I discovered the can of worms. Thanx for noticing.  

Opera Singers
Honestly, I know of only one Winnie Böwe performance.  Hilary Summers, on the other hand, is a noted contemporary British contralto. "
