The opera corpus
Thanks for your message. I wonder if we can have a pause on this page. I am checking through your additions and have to add them to the statistics at the bottom of the page. It's also important that we don't add obscure operas that nobody is ever going to be able to do an article on - you added one opera which is lost! Thanks and regards. -- Kleinzach 03:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I've now caught up with the stats. However, may I make a suggestion? Would it be possible to work on the complete opera lists in the composers' articles? For example I have just done one for Ferdinando Paer. As you will see only four or five of them are included in The opera corpus. These are ones that have articles in our main reference the New Grove Dictionary of Opera. Of course anyone can start an article on any opera they have proper info about, and once there is an article then there should be a link in The opera corpus.


 * Unfortunately any article that has too many red links is apt to attract trouble. WP theoretically deplores such pages. We are already listed as one of the most red-linked of all WP articles so we don't really want a huge increase in their number. Thanks and all the best. -- Kleinzach 03:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm. I see you are continuing to add large numbers of titles. Can you tell me when you have finished? And please watch the capitalization rules! -- Kleinzach 04:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Schwarze, please read Talk:The_opera_corpus and do consider to delete some of you "red" entries.
 * 1) If you look at the RED links you added - today you name it as "AAA(Opera)" but you don’t plan on writing ; someday, when somebody write the article about "AAA", they would probably name it as "AAA(Composer's name)", so what happen to your red link? It will stay RED until somebody changed it. I gave you this example because it is best not to add too many "red links" if you don’t plan on writing it. Other reasons, there are quite a number of operas that the details can’t be found or incomplete. It is not “pretty” for the list in “The opera corpus” to have “Red links” forever.
 * 2) Secondly, if you were to list all the operas in the world, the page will be very long and I think it will defeat the purpose of having (or redundant with) "Composer's composition list". Thanks - Jay 08:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
