Even if it hadn't been a copyvio, it was completely unencyclopedic and promotional in tone, and had no references to support any of the assertions. Also, by pasting that text in wholesale, all the formatting and references from previous editors (representing a lot of work) was removed. If you wish to make additions. Do them gradually, in your own words maintaining a neutral point of view, referencing them, and respecting the existing formatting. Also please do not add commerical links to Amazon.

The wig story
My understanding is that the wig incident happened in Japan, not New York as explained in the article. The reference — which is not a good one — doesn't clarify this one way or the other. Does anyone have better information? -- Klein zach  05:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks like it was on the Japan tour. I've clarified and added 2 (better) references. I also changed the peculiar wording ("...called for Micaela to wear a blonde wig, a nuance to which the soprano refused to wear it.") Voceditenore (talk) 10:57, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Official Facebook page on external links
Hello. The official page was here on Wikipedia for a while and later on removed. Is there a particular reason, taking into account that it's the official page on FB? http://www.facebook.com/angelagheorghiuofficial Thanks Madamabutterfly (talk) 19:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The guideline WP:LINKSTOAVOID lists in the "Links normally to be avoided" section: "Links to social networking sites (such as Myspace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, Usenet newsgroups or e-mail lists". I would imagine this covers the removal of a link to that page. The WP:EL page it is from says: "Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum" - so there already being a link to the Official website will be sufficient. Hope this helps.

 * Clear. Thank you! Madamabutterfly (talk) 21:18, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
