Talk:Rachel Yakar

Scene as Poppea
Thanks for the note :) my thought was that is that the scene belongs in an article about the performance if it's not more relevant to Yakar than "she was in it". theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You are right, but there is no article about the performance. It would be undue weight in the opera's article, and even for the director. What you see is her acting, and iconic it was. Also, some opera singers can follow a directors inspiration, and others rather not. She could. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * sure, but at that point, I don't think articles are supposed to be repositories for things that don't belong but maybe could be split later. Also, re: footnote, it's possible that Yakar wasn't matrilineally or culturally Jewish but retains a Jewish last name, as many do. It seems to be OR to attempt to pin Yakar as Jewish by adding a footnote that says she has a "Jewish last name" (really a Hebrew last name). theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 08:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't have to tell me about "Jewish".. Did you see (article history) that no reference to being Jewish were in the article until it was added by someone else? The GA reviewer went on a search and retrieved several references which to include all seemed undue to me, for one word that doesn't change anything about her professional work. (Review done in hospital at times, the most thorough GA review I remember.) Another user inserted plenty of categories. Please take the topic up with them. I seriously don't care. - I think the one line doesn't hurt. She - not the director - is mentioned for the role in the Poppea article. Did you see the video? I didn't dare to put it in the article afraid of licensing issues. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose if you don't disagree with the change, there's no problem? might take a look at the video later today :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
