Hello, Michael Bednarek. I only italicized that term because both the title and the infobox title were italicized and I was making them consistent. If you want to request a technical move to un-italicize the title, as well as un-italicize the infobox title, it seems that would make them both correct and consistent in formatting.

I would have waited a bit to link my latest baby Jahrhundertring, - thanks for doing it anyway, makes me add sooner rather than later;) - There's a "citation required" on the Ring for the 90 minutes ovations after the last Götterdämmerung, - there's one in the many obituaries, but I don't remember which one.

Lisa Wilkinson article edits
Hello, regarding your partial reversal of my edits of the Lisa Wilkinson article today, I agree that the change of birth place needs a reference; I was about to add it when I got interrupted and then forgot. Now I'm about to head out so I will add it late tonight or early tomorrow. The ref. I have is 'mainstream', published and accurate. Re your comment "no need to split "Career" into 2" - I realise it is not essential but is there any compelling reason why it can't be two sections instead of one? I intended to add more information to each section and that is why I split it. Thanks for your guidance on the IMDb reference, that is very helpful to me. Cheers.

 * No need to rush – there is no deadline. As for sections: I think short sections create a longer table of content which is quite irritating in short articles. A section should contain more than only three or four sentences. Cheers, -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:03, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the explanation. My reference for Lisa Wilkinson's place of birth is The Illawarra Mercury newspaper, 'A Day At A Time', Saturday June 7, 2008 - it says "Wollongong-born Today show host Lisa Wilkinson". Indirect link here Wilkinson PoB. Also the Herald Sun yesterday, 26 October 2013, Home magazine insert, page 39, feature article on her - says "Born in Wollongong, NSW". I can't find that online yet. Do you think one of those is enough? Thanks, Greg. Melbourne3163 (talk) 05:18, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a commonly held misconception that sources ought to be available online – they don't; they just need to be published by reliable sources. See WP:SOURCES and, in the same policy, WP:SOURCEACCESS. Of course, both sources you mention qualify. As for the substance: I don't think that Wilkinson can be considered a 'Gongian; the article says only "born in Wollongong Hospital and has strong childhood ties to the region" and mentions visits to her grandparents but she visited Campbelltown High – not that it matters in getting her place of birth right. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Beethoven's liver
Dear Michael,

I am replying to your ad to the subject of Beethoven's liver, without my looking at the background. I added the article, as a stub, with some notable sources etc and overdone the notable and reliables sources for an IP editor who was contesting and making personal attacks against me at an AfD for an article about Esperanto which I said was unsourced and unreliable (Grin Report). Deliberately I have stayed away while any discussion has ensued. So please forgive me for not adding sources and so on to this article, but once it goes to AfD and I used it as an example, I think it would be unfair for me to add to it. Quite funny (and right!) that someone immediately added an anatomy stub to it, and I think before it had anatomy of real people stub or something. But please excuse me if I seemed rude by deliberately not replying. It is quite right that others have their chance to say, and I have not read them yet.

Crying Wolf
Hi, MB, I've appreciated your editorial support elsewhere. In the case of The Boy who Cried Wolf, it wasn't the anonymous 76/... who added the stuff about kidnapping the sheep. What s/he quoted was, I have discovered, the godawful Victorian version by Townsend. Normally he is faithful to Greek originals but all that stuff about 'cried out in an agony of fear' and 'lacerated the flock' sounds inauthentic for what is usually a brief anecdote followed by a moral. Anyway, it was User:Epicgenius who added that the sheep were 'kidnapped', I suspect because he doesn't know the meaning of the word lacerated. I've moved up the reference in the following sentence of the article to the end of the (now emended) story and hope that will close the matter. Why this particular fable is the magnet for anonymous amateurs and vandals, when there are a hundred others to choose from, I've given up trying to guess!

 * My tried to convey 3 things: 1) that I restored a piece of text to its sourced spelling and 2) that I had doubts, to put it politely, about the kidnapping of sheep; 3) separately (note the "//"), I wanted to express that I was quite impressed by the summary as inserted by 76/... – although I admit that the language, especially the use of "lacerated", made me a bit suspicious about it being lifted from somewhere. It's all good now, but without doubt further nonsense will be  perpetrated there soon. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:27, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Met-centricity
Hi Michael. Thanks for this edit. I was sorely tempted to do the same. In fact, I wanted to whack out that whole bit. It's subjective, a pointless spam magnet, and wrong. Brownlee, Calleja, Kwiecien, Beczala, and Kaufmann were already stars in Europe before the Met "discovered" them (typical Met-centricity). Plus, Kwiecien, Kaufmann and Beczala debuted at the Met under Volpe, not Gelb, etc. Meanwhile it turns out the Susanna Phillips article was misspelled.

Wolfgang A. Mozart
Dear Michael, you reverted some of the edits to my own posts on the Mozart talk page. I realize now that there is a thread order, which will help me also on other wiki pages. Thanks! Since it seems that you are following the Mozart page, I wanted to ask you why posters from Germany have apparently succeeded in banishing the fact that Mozart was from Austria from his page. Every other composer is mentioned according to the same standard (in which country is the birthplace today). Furthermore, Salzburg was an independent Vatican possession at the time of Mozart's birth and became part of Austria later. But it was also not part of Germany nor of anything that later became Germany, which did not exist for another 90 years after Mozart's death. To categorize Mozart as a German seems therefore completely baseless and preposterous. How can such a case of bullying happen and be successful on Wikipedia? — Dirpio (talk • contribs) 14:04, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

O mio babbino caro
I added Jackie Evancho to O mio babbino caro for the simple reason that she is notable. Therefore I'm puzzled by your blunt contention that she is not notable. You can look through Jackie Evancho for evidence of notability (there's plenty). So, please, do you have anything that could substantiate your denial of her notability, or are you simply being contentious? Note: in matters of Notability, your opinion should be irrelevant. Santamoly (talk) 22:10, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree that Evancho need not be mentioned at O mio babbino caro, as hundreds of notable singers have sung and recorded this song. The article already mentions that various classical crossover artists sing the song. Nevertheless, the song is one of Evancho's signature pieces - she sings it at most of her concerts, it's on her Gold album, Dream With Me, and it was the song that, more than any other, made her famous.  But even Maria Callas is not mentioned in the article, although her version is one of the External links.  A note about Evancho's general notability: She has a platinum album (and was the youngest person in history ever to have one), a gold album and has been invited to perform at numerous high profile events, including the National tree lighting, and MLB, NHL and NFL games. She was the youngest person ever to give her own concert at [[Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, she has headlined a concert at Carnegie Hall, and she has performed her own concerts with numerous symphony orchestras around the country.  She has two PBS Great Performances specials devoted entirely to her and has been a guest on the Tonight Show, the Today Show and nearly every talk show.  She was the subject of a 20/20 report and you can see at the bottom of the article that she is the subject of 200 press articles. That's just for starters.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:33, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "I added Jackie Evancho to O mio babbino caro for the simple reason that she is notable. Therefore I'm puzzled by your blunt contention that she is not notable."
 * Adding every notable singer of "O mio babbino caro" to that article is a distraction. I didn't dispute Evancho's notability, just her performance of this aria. I admit that was probably prejudicial and may have been prompted by the current ballyhoo about Amira Willighagen's performance, of which I've heard some deplorable examples.
 * I still maintain that adding a list of performers to this article and others like it doesn't improve the understanding of the work; adding this aria to those singers' biographies seems more constructive to me. Evancho was mentioned among about 20 others in from August 2010. That list then got culled about a week later by Ego White Tray and by me in the following 9 months. I maintain that the whole section "Cultural resonance outside opera", every single entry, of the version from August 2010 had to be removed. As for Evancho: it was pointed out at about that time that the downward transposition of her performance by several steps was a good reason not to list it; although I can find no transposition in this 2009 performance, but the performance in September 2010 on America's Got Talent clearly is. However, like many other cross-over singers (C. Church, K. Jenkins, S. Kyrkjebø), Evancho is not an opera singer and listing her here will not contribute to the the readers' understanding of this aria. I note that the aria is mentioned several times in her article. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "Adding every notable singer of "O mio babbino caro" to that article is a distraction."?
 * Distraction from what?? I'm not sure that we should be weighing your assessment of the notability of notable content.  We all agree that Evancho is notable, and there's no harm in including additional notable performers.  What harm is there in some notable "distraction" if it's notable?

Bridal song
It was only one bride then, which makes more sense to me than a mass wedding ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * But that version of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern translated the plural "Gläubigen Seelen" as singular "believing soul". Since then, the English translation also uses the plural, so the pronoun has to reflect that – unless one argues that the believing souls have to be seen as a singular collective. But even then, the German uses the plural "irem" (ihrem) which translates straight to "their", not "her" because there is no female precedent, although I can see how mentioning a "bride" might confuse people. Some of this florid baroque language is enough to make adults in choirs giggle. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe the translation with singular (wasn't it yours?) is better. Unfortunately, "ihrem" would be the same for both singular and plural bride, because it only reflects the singular groom. A singular bride makes more sense to me ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * But there is no "bride" in that sentence ("no female precedent" above). "irem/ihrem" can only refer to the "gläubigen Seelen". If "her" is put into the phrase instead of "their", what would it refer to? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:20, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If I may quickly butt in here: there is in fact a singular antecedent: der Seelen. As Gerda rightly pointed out in some earlier edit of hers some years ago, this form can be a genitive singular in early modern German. So-called weak feminine nouns regularly had -en-endings in the genitive singular in medieval German, and kept them at least in regional usage well into the 18th century (cf. hymn lines such as ... du meiner Seelen Zier, or phrases such as unserer Lieben Frauen, etc.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Although I'm familiar with German texts back to the Hildebrandslied and the Merseburger Zaubersprüche, the grammatical ambiguity of "der Seelen" eluded me in this context. "Ein [...] Brautlied der Gläubigen Seelen" seemed so clear cut to me. I apologise to Gerda who was correct all along and I'm sorry for the distraction caused. It just goes to show that it's not always easy to keep an open mind. Thanks to your intervention, the matter is now resolved. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

To boldly bold?
Hello. Just a very small query regarding part of an edit summary you kindly made on the Chopin Preludes page. I was a bit surprised at being advised not to use the semi-colon formatting option for the Notes/References subheadings when it's used in this way in some FA (e.g. in Gabriel Fauré). Thanks again, 81.147.165.192 (talk) 16:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The wiki code of a semicolon creates HTML code for a definition list. Using it purely to achieve the bolding of a term has been long-standing practice by Wikipedia editors. It was pointed out some time ago that this practice confused screen readers and I believe several projects have alerted their members to discontinue its use. The most clearly stated advice I can find at the moment is at Help:Wiki markup, or H:DL for short: Do not use a semicolon simply to bold a line without defining a value using a colon . This usage renders invalid HTML5. Cheers, -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree with you, and I don't follow this recommendation deliberately in very short articles where the separation of a person's vital data would be very awkward.

Edit in Piano Sonata (Stravinsky)
Hi. I very much appreciate your explanation for your last edit on the article Piano Sonata (Stravinsky). However, I still think it would be useful to put that information in the article if the work has been featured somewhere else. As done in similar articles (this one, for instance), I think it can be interesting to some people. Specifically in this case, the article is not very long and the composition is not really well-known, so I think it would be convenient to add that information again. Thanks for your attention.

Sorting tables
You reverted my edit on Help:Sorting, which is no problem, but I'll explain what I meant, and why this section appears confusing to me. I said "stops sorting" because whereas on the earlier tables clicking "Surname" sorts by surname, clicking "Surname" on this table takes you to a WP article (and clicking on height is worse, sending you to a browser-generated page (I guess) explaining why example.com isn't there). OK, I understand that if you link the heading of a table it is now a link, and not a sorting button, but I think this could be explained rather more explicitly -- and in general it seems like a bad idea, since the heading ought to be something you already understand. Meanwhile, the explanation claims "(tooltips over links will indicate the sorting operation)", but (at least in this browser) actually the surname tooltip says "Surname", and the link goes to the WP article, which may be OK but does not match the claim, and the height tooltip says "Sort ascending", but it actually goes to example.com, which matches the claim, but seems quite unsatisfactory. Comments appreciated - thanks. Imaginatorium (talk) 15:22, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I your edit because the point of the section Help:Sorting is obviously to demonstrate links in headers.

Robert le Diable poem
La Complainte de Robert le Diable est un poème écrit par Louis Aragon en septembre 1945 et paru dans Les Poètes en 1960, aux Éditions Gallimard, sous le chapitre : Spectacle à la Lanterne Magique. Ce texte où Louis Aragon rend hommage au poète Robert Desnos a été mis en musique et chanté par Jean Ferrat. La chanson intitulée Robert le Diable, parait en 1971 sur l'album Ferrat chante Aragon. Mike Hayes (talk) 04:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * After some ferretting, I think you are complaining about at Robert le Diable. As I wrote in that edit summary, there's nothing to disambiguate as there are no other articles with that title. Also, all links to that page intend to go to Robert le diable, emphasising the need for such a REDIRECT. Even if an article on Aragon's poem should ever be written, it would have to be called "Complainte de Robert le Diable", very different to "Robert le Diable" and not requiring disambiguation. An article about Ferrat's chanson would be called "Robert le Diable (Ferrat song)" and a hatnote at the opera would point to it. Given the promenince of Meyerbeer's opera, the only possibility for a disambiguation page would be Robert le Diable (disambiguation), but there's no need for it at this time. BTW,  to Robert the Devil (disambiguation) contravenes serveral principles at MOS:DABENTRY. All the best, Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:52, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

The same name was used in the past for an individual routing protocol, which is no longer in use. I added a reference to the entire class of exterior gateway protocols -- which is quite important in routing today, arguably more important than the obsolete EGP. The obsolete EGP should be retained for historical reasons, but the current EGP (the class of exterior gateway protocols) should take priority over it.

Thank you for working to improve wikipedia!

 * Please add new threads to the bottom of the page and include a link or diff relating to your question, especially one regarding an edit in February. As I wrote in, I mistook to EGP as only duplicating a link which was already present in that disambiguation page. It turns out that there are two different articles, differentiated only by case: Exterior Gateway Protocol and Exterior gateway protocol. In my defence, I point out that you had piped the link to the latter to spelling of the former, so they both appeared the same. That's one of the reasons why MOS:DAB cautions against piped links in disambiguation pages. You might also notice that that guideline recommends only one linke per entry. I'm going to restore your edit with these changes. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:32, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Categories
"Converts to Christianity from Judaism" is the most inclusive category and the more specific are derived from it. Therefore, I think we should preserve it on the Roda Roda article. Alexander Tendler (talk) 10:21, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The editing guideline Categorization says exactly the opposite. Alexander Roda Roda was already in Category:Converts to Roman Catholicism from Judaism; that category is, i. a., in the Category:Converts to Christianity from Judaism, thus placing Roda Roda in that more general category "Converts to Christianity from Judaism" is redundant. In short, with very few exceptions (the so-called "non-diffusing" categories, e. g. Category:Operas), pages should only be categorised in the most specific category possible. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks for doing the honours on the article talk page. I must in conscience say that I think B class is exceedingly generous for this not very substantial article. To my way of thinking, as the (so far) sole author, C class would be more the mark, and I shouldn't have been outraged if it had been rated Start class. If you were to reconsider and downgrade the rating there would be no protests from this quarter, but if not, then thank you very much.  Tim riley  talk    13:18, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Need some advice on a German name
Hi Michael (and Gerda, if you're watching). I'm going to create an article on Sophie Dietz (or Diez) later today. She created Magdalena in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. I'm not sure what the primary title should be. The German Wikipedia spells it "Diez" (de:Sophie Diez) as does the 1903 source on which it is based (Ludwig Eisenberg: Großes biographisches Lexikon der Deutschen Bühne im 19. Jahrhundert. But modern sources including German ones spell it "Dietz", e.g., ). "Sophie Dietz" with a redirect from "Sophie Diez"? Or the other way 'round? Best, Voceditenore (talk) 09:23, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Six of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. Her husband appears at de:Ernst Friedrich Diez and he has 2 VIAF entries: http://viaf.org/viaf/60216516/ & http://viaf.org/viaf/8173005/ but their searches for Sophie in both spellings lead to http://viaf.org/viaf/77059223/ where the spelling is Dietz. http://thesaurus.cerl.org/record/cnp00547329 also give Dietz with Diez as variant. The Bayerisches Musiker Lexikon Online treats her similarly, both searches leading to http://www.bmlo.lmu.de/d0219 – Dietz. On balance, I think the Dietz version is better supported. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:43, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am watching the page of the first Wikipedian ever to ask me a question ;) - First, in this case I don't think it matters too much, as her time was not picky on the spelling of names, and the pronunciation difference is minimal. I follow Michael and the bmlo, Dietz. Thanks for creating "her"! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

 * A diff would have been nice. – I guess you refer to at Cranger Kirmes. If so,  accepted that the fair started in in the 15th century as a horse trading market, but you challenged i.a. that it's now a funfair. That challenge means you believe it's still a horse trading market and I called that going against common sense. That leaves a banal statement, probably unprovable, about the parallel growth of the Kirmes and the Ruhr area, which I flagged with Citation needed, although I believe it's not contentious. There are a few contentious matters about the Cranger Kirmes (see its history and talk page at de:Cranger Kirmes), but the departure of horse traders and the fair's expansion is not among them. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:29, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Material that does not satisfy wp:v need not be "controversial" in your view to be properly deleted. If the material fails to satisfy wp:v and is uncited, it is subject to deletion per wp:v. But, in contrast, for you to restore the challenged/deleted/uncited material, you certainly need an inline citation to a RS source per wp:BURDEN.  I'm happy for you to retain it, if you supply the require inline independent RS citation(s). Epeefleche (talk) 01:54, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't write that I consider the statement that the Cranger Kirmes grew parallel to the growth of the Ruhr area is not "controversial", I called it "not contentious" in the sense of WP:CHALLENGE which restricts the need for citations to "material challenged or likely to be challenged" and because WP:V falls under the pillar of WP:NPOV which cannot possibly be levelled against the statements in question. I'm aware of the circular argument that through the mere fact that you removed it, it becomes challenged, and I regard that line as wikilawyering. No one could argue that today's number of visitors of about 4 mio is not the result of population growth of the Ruhr area. Whether such a banality belongs in the article, is another question. There are better ways to improve Wikipedia than chanting the mantra of WP:V with religious fervour against undeserving targets. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:04, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Queensland Conservatorium of Music - Griffith University
I would like to comment that the reason why I removed the red links for Clare and Miriam Gormley was because of problems, in the past, with some other users of Wikipedia who have objected, on more than one occasion, to red links for people who do not have a page on Wikipedia (and who have gone so far as to actually remove the names with red links, altogether, from the pages they were on, commenting that people with red links were not notable). I wished to avoid such problems, again, when I separated Clare and Miriam from a single line entry for both their names, to a separate line for each of them, so that their names would continue to remain on the page (especially as I did not want their names to be deleted by those editors would object to red links). The links would have been restored when pages have been created for these two very talented opera singers. I would have appreciated you contacting me personally, about the reason for my edit, before you reversed my edit (your wording made it appear that I was guily of vandalism for removing the red links). Figaro (talk) 08:47, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * First, I seriously did not at all intend to make your edit appear as vandalism; if you interpreted it that way, I'm sorry. Second, WP:RED is worth reading and it will help to ward off editors who might be overzealous in removing red links. Third, I follow these rules when deciding whether red links are worth preserving or not: a) looking at incoming links (Special:WhatLinksHere/Clare Gormley & Special:WhatLinksHere/Miriam Gormley in this case) and making some judgement about the significance of those incoming links; b) googling the name and making a judgment whether the person would have a chance for a Wikipedia article. The blanket assertion that persons without Wikipedia article are non-notable is an obvious fallacy – it assumes that Wikipedia is finished and all notable people have articles. Cheers, Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:29, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining. As I mentioned, I was worried, because of the red links, that Miriam and Clare Gormley's names might be deleted by some other editor. I experienced this strong bias against red links on the article List of Brisbane people and took part in an exchange with the editor on the talk page for that article (Talk:List of Brisbane people).  If you read the exchange between the other editor and myself, you will notice how determined the other editor was about removing names with red links (stating that the people were not notable) - and how strongly I was defending the red links.  After such an experience, I was worried about Miriam's and Clare's names, and did not want to experience such bias again.  As I mentioned, this bias against red links has happened with other editors also.  Cheers.  Figaro (talk) 07:43, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for your experience at List of Brisbane people. I'm aware of the argument "WP:Write the article first" and I've used it myself, subject to some evaluation of the specific situation. Many lists are riddled with non-notable vanity entries and maybe it's understandable when some editors take the removal route first. On the other hand, the notability requirements for list entries are markedly lower than they are for for articles – they have to articles, not necessarily have them – (but verifiability is an often overlooked firm requirement), and some editors need to be reminded of that occasionally. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:04, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

 * I tried to convey two things in at Template:Vincenzo Bellini: a) as the template didn't have any categories, I added Category:Romantic composer templates; b) my doubts about a navigation template which contains many items which, as they are not links, don't help the reader to navigate. My suggestion in such cases, following WP:NAV, specifically WP:EXISTING on red links and unlinked text, is to omit such text. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:10, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
