 * Good tip - thanks. I imagine, too, that the Hallis Concerts Society may deserve its own article too - ? Alfietucker (talk) 09:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, Adolph Hallis may deserve one....--Smerus (talk) 14:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I've done Adolph Hallis.--Smerus (talk) 19:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I am, at frequent intervals, staggered by the knowledge and shrewdness of Wiki-colleagues, of which the above is a beautiful example. A round of applause for Smerus, if you please, ladies and gentlemen, and a gin and tonic for Alfie for encouraging him.  Tim riley  talk    17:11, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Opera?
Is the bannering with WikiProject Opera appropriate? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:07, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't think so - there's no record AFAIK of Sophie Wyss having ever sung opera (which is, admittedly, quite unusual, given that even such concert recital artists as Dorothy Silk occasionally ventured into opera). Should we wait for someone from WP Opera to decide whether it should be removed, or can anyone decide this? Alfietucker (talk) 07:20, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I have found no reference in the sources to any operatic performances by Wyss.  Tim riley  talk    08:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Now removed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:57, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 'Twas I who added it :). In the past the opera project has bannered classical singers, including ones who have sung exclusively in oratorio or art song, mainly because there are no active projects which "look after" singers of that type, and our members have access to publications and resources which can help expand and maintain those articles. Note also that a project banner is not a categorization. It merely indicates that the project has an interest in the article. Having said that, I'm not fussed one way or another.

 * Thanks for the explanation - good to know, and I'll certainly bear this in mind in future. Sorry if we seemed ungrateful through any misunderstanding. Alfietucker (talk) 12:34, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
