Talk:Rolando Villazón

Comment
This clearly is not up to the standards of an encyclopaedic article. Someone should put some work into it. Btw, is this about Rolando Villazón or about his teacher? Laca 23:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Villazon opera.jpg
Image:Villazon opera.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Irrelevancy of Mr Villazón's ancestry
In his trilingual autobiography Rolando Villazón's official site, Mr Villazón chooses to say nothing about his own descent, probably considering it irrelevant on the matter. So does his other Biography (March 2007) by EMI Music (in German) cited in this article. I clean up accordingly. Kind regards, Zack Holly Venturi 07:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Villazon French citizen?
I noticed, that user 213.36.8.96 added on several wikis the information, that Rolando Villazon took the French citizenship in 2007. Is there a source for this information? Otherwise, I think it should not be added. Anne-theater (talk) 23:05, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

What would this world be without Anne
You noticed well oh Anne almighty... Rolando Villazon applied for the French citizenship and was granted it in 2007... it's just well known, but only French and Dutch wikis had updated this data so far (which you forgot to notice, naughty) so I did it... don't worry Anne lol... I checked wikis after I heard him speaking about this change last week in national radio France Inter, he said he still has a Mexican passport and he misses his native country, but he chose to settle and bring up his children over here in France (he's been living for long in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a rich ghetto near Paris whose former mayor is President Sarkozy) Pierre

The first paragraph needs to be rewritten.
The first paragraph uses very poor English, has unclear statements, and refers to unspecified people and places. Could somebody please clean it up?

What does "Mexican and French" mean?

Where and what are Fuentes de Satelite and Sierra Bonita?

Does the reference to "street" imply he a street person?

Unclear sentence with irrelevant people: Often went to Xochitepec, Morelos with his neighbors Tony, Ricky, Alejandro, Mario and Fernando and told scary stories during the night.

Dangling phrase: One called "La historia del Indio"

This is an encyclopedia article is not a newsletter
This is an encyclopedia article, not a newsletter or fansite. I have copyedited it accordingly. Please do not use the words "currently" and "now". They are meaningless. I have removed the links to a site selling his records labelled "Shop" and to a fanclub on blogspot. Please read WP:External links for why. Please do not add add information unless it is meticulously referenced per WP:Biographies of living persons. Voceditenore (talk) 09:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

inconsistency in the prizes
in the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operalia says he won the 2nd prize and not the first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.81.71.10 (talk) 14:00, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
