Comment

 * Comment The diplomatic community is a large one. There are over 200 countries in the world — we are talking about thousands of individuals. Should they all have an automatic right to a Wikipedia article in English? Ambassadors of major countries, in major countries, will normally be well-covered by sources, but ambassadors of minor countries in minor countries — basically running visa and commercial support offices — will only be mentioned by their own official media, or in many cases, just in lists. Having looked through a largish number of these articles, I’ve found found most of the minimal, unreferenced stubs in articles about ambassadors of middle and small-sized countries, usually created by an editor going through a government list (such as Foreign Affairs International Trade Canada ). The problem with declaring all ambassadors notable, if that we will then have to automatically list all other unelected officials of equivalent rank. This will gradually turn Wikipedia into something like LinkedIn. Is that really the way we want to go?

 * Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise "I hate “classical music”: not the thing but the name."

Articles about theatres in Paris
1. Article should be either about entertainment venues (i.e. physical locations) or theatrical companies (people) but not both at the same time.

2. Articles about venues should normally use the official present-day name (or the last major name if it no longer exists). Former names of the same building (or earlier buildings on the same site) should be given in the article, and used where appropriate for redirects.

3. Articles should not be compendia of information about multiple locations that had identical (or similar) venue names. This is confusing for the reader and makes information hard to find, as the names of theatres changed frequently in Paris and were not otherwise related.

4. Articles about venues should normally have a (single) theatre (or building) infobox and geographical coordinates.

5. References to a particular théâtre (or salle or cirque) should normally be capitalized in body text (e.g. The Théâtre National Lyrique was demolished in 1886. (or) The Cirque d'été was an attraction on the Champs-Élysées. (or) The Opéra-Comique first performed at the Salle Ventadour in 1829.)

6. Articles about theatrical companies should concentrate on the company. (They may well mention multiple physical locations).

7. Articles may be short, but the information should be readily accessible and searchable.

BTB
During the Biedermeier period (1815-1848), burlesque, (together with vaudeville, farce and parody), flourished in the German-speaking countries of central Europe. The great popularity of informal theatre developed inspite of, as well as because of, the challenge of the strict political censorship of the time.

Karl Eduard von Holtei introduced the vaudeville to Berlin with Die Wiener in Berlin (1824), and Die Berliner in Wien (1825). Both of which enjoyed great popular success. Louis Angely (active 1824-35)

Biography Project: Reform summary
WikiProject Biography is an umbrella project like this one, but unlike Music it place a banner on each page: At the last count their banner was on

The following is a summary of the views of those editors would like to see this project reformed. These views have been expressed above but are difficult to access given the amount of verbiage so I am summarizing them here for better access.

1. Biography project should be an umbrella organization. It's agreed that the project could have a role an an umbrella project, as a place to refer questions and issues about biographical articles, looking at cross-project matters that are not handled by the medium and small sized projects. MoS Similar to Music, Arts

2. BLP to be looked after by a special task force or project.

3. Biography project should abandon and remove assessments

Johann Strauß-Theater
The Johann Strauss-Theater in Vienna - Wieden was 1908 at the height of the economic success of the Viennese operetta than opera theater built. The architect Eduard Prandl versah the building with strict barockisierenden forms. His audience summed up 1200 people.

The favorites in the Street 8 theater was located on 31 October 1908 with a processing of the operetta Indigo and the 40 robbers by Johann Strauss (son) opened.

It found, inter alia, the world premiere, and over 500 performances of Emmerich Kálmán The Csárdásfürstin (1915) instead. Alexander Girardi was a regular guest in Kálmán Gypsy The Primate (1912). After the First World War came here Josephine Baker on. 1925 saw the premiere of Franz Lehár's Paganini.

As a result of the global economic crisis of 1929 and penetration of the sound film, the theater fell into financial difficulties. In 1931, therefore, the district center in the Wieden house by the architect Carl Witzmann in a cinema with the name Scala converted, also used for vaudeville performances was used.

1948 to 1956 was under the patronage of the Soviet occupying power of theater played. The New Theater in der Scala offered artistically ambitious pieces in high-class cast (some with Karl Paryla and Therese Giehse), however, by the Viennese criticism from mainstream political reasons (Vienna Brecht boycott) were not properly appreciated. Some came here but also pure propaganda pieces for performance, such as Ernst Fischer against Josip Broz Tito directed drama The Great Betrayal.

After the withdrawal of Soviet occupying power, the theater still existed a short time, the final presentation was held on 30 June 1956 instead. 1959-60 was the theater was demolished and thus first victim of a theater death, which the Viennese citizens Theater and Vienna Stadttheater to victims. Decades later, the gap site by a residential community of Vienna closed. Meantime, unsuccessful demands for design of a park has been raised.

Classical Music coverage
Music coverage on WP is still limited. To give you a rough idea of the scale of the task ahead. This project has about 10,000 articles covered by Grove Music in 29 volumes. On the other hand the more developed Opera Project has 5,000 articles on a subject represented by only 4 Grove volumes.

Opera terms
cantilena - a lyrical melody line, obviously meant to be sung or played "cantabile."

hauptstimme - this refers to the principal musical material of a work. In the operas of Schoenberg or Berg, early 20th century German composers, the main melodies are marked with an "H" to indicate that the composers considered those the principal tunes.

Legato

maestro - a title of courtesy, given, especially in Italy, to conductors, composers and directors; translation (from the Italian), "Master."

marking - the practice used by many singers to save their voices in rehearsals; singers will sing in what seems to be a mere whisper, or transpose the vocal lines so that they don't have to sing extremely high or low notes. This is done as a vocal protection--singing too strenuously, or without getting the voice properly warmed up can lead to vocal strain and severe throat problems.

PATTER SONG - A song or aria in which the character sings as many words as possible in the shortest time.

parlando - literally, "speaking"; this Italian term directs the singer to imitate speech in singing. The "patter songs" of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas frequently employ a great deal of parlando singing.

PIT - A sunken area in front of the stage where the members of the orchestra sit.

prova - rehearsal, from the Italian word for "test"; often in Italy, one hears of a "prova generale,"which means the final dress rehearsal. In Germany, a rehearsal is called "probe" (PROE beh); in German houses, one frequently hears of a sitzprobe (a rehearsal with orchestra where the singers sing seated on chairs at the front of the stage instead of moving about) or wandelprobe (where the singers actually go through the motions of their acting while the orchestra plays the music) or generalprobe (which is, in essence, the last dress rehearsal).

recitativo accompagnato - is accompanied by the full orchestra. The introduction to Donna Anna's "Or sai chi l'onore" in Don Giovanni is an example of the"accompagnato" style, where the orchestral sonorities are capable of varying the mood of the narration more than the simple harpsichord accompaniment could.

recitativo secco - is accompanied by the continuo instruments. Numerous passages abound in the operas of Mozart and Rossini of the "secco" style.

ritornello

SCENA (SCHAY-nah) (Italian) - Literally a scene. A dramatic episode which consists of a variety of number types with a common themes. A typical scena might consist of a recitative, a cavatina and a cabaletta.

sotto voce - a musical direction which asks the performer to sing, or play "under the voice," or in a subdued manner. Singing sotto voce can be compared to declaiming in a stage whisper and can be very effective in a large theatre.
