G&S
Thanks for your contributions to the G&S articles. Take a look at WP:G&S to find out about our project to expand and improve the G&S-related articles on Wikipedia. You'll see a To Do list there, as well as our style guide for G&S articles and the "categories" that we are using. If you start a new G&S-related article, please let me know so I can put the G&S project tag on it. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 00:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Ta-ra-ra-Boomdeeay
Based on your user name, you might be interested in working on the Lottie Collins (1866–1910) article. She was the English singer and dancer who popularized the song Tar-ra-ra-boom-der-ay!, which she sang on stage as she danced a skirt dance. -- Ssilvers 00:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Sapphire Necklace
An opera by the same name was performed on July 29, 2000, but it has not been accepted as a fair substitute for the Sullivan opera.

This is the Scott Farrell and... possibly John Spartan reconstruction? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their work, but I'm not sure if the opera ever got another performance, and don't believe a recording is available (and the score is only available from a very obscure specialty catalogue, as far as I know) Given the extreme obscurity of the original, this fanwork probably reaches sufficient relative notability to deserve a mention, but, well, I think, in all honesty, if we're going to include it, we really ought to include a lot more. I've removed it for now (since as it is, it just doesn't say enough, if you see my point), but I'd like to expand it into a full paragraph (with cites) - can you help?
