Victoria Ocampo
Could you please see my question at Talk:Victoria Ocampo? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 01:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome from the Opera Project
Greetings from the Opera Project. I just saw your great article on Mattia Battistini. Excellent. Please feel free to join the project if you have time! Best regards. - Kleinzach 00:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. Maurice Renaud is also very good. Delighted to see another important gap filled. Who will be next?


 * I agree about the whistle register (ugly term). I think the best way forward with this would be for you to join the Opera Project, and then start a topic and make a proposal on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera. I think everybody would also appreciate it if you could give some information about yourself on your user page. - Kleinzach 18:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Whistle register singers
You may have listed this article on AFD, however the article does not appear to exists, nor did it show up in the deletion log. Typo in the afd3 template perhaps? Bige1977 16:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Mario
Thanks for your message. Which name would you prefer: Giovanni Mario, or Giovanni Matteo Mario (as Grove) ? - Kleinzach 14:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I have gone ahead and made the change - to the longer name -there was no technical problem in making the move. - Kleinzach 15:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Just got your message - we can put him as Mario (tenor). Is that OK? (No harm in having multiple redirects - which are created automatically when we move articles.) - Kleinzach 15:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * OK he is now Mario (tenor). I have also edited the beginning to conform to our usual style. Incidentally these old Enyc. Britannica can often be a pain. Better to start again with the articles if we can. - Kleinzach 17:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Les Indes galantes
I have had a look. Great content but I think we need to write it up, rather than leave it in note form. I have started to edit it a bit - removing the CAPS which we actually don't use on WP - but I don't have the necessary time to go through it all, I'm afraid. i recommend using Il campiello as a template/model for opera articles. Using a template makes it much easier to achieve a consistent encyclopedia style. best. - Kleinzach 17:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. Without wishing to be pedantic, what I meant by note form was that some sentences lack verbs and some paragraphs only have two words etc. but it's no great problem, you can leave it to be tidied up by other people in due course. Ultimately the idea is to make it as accessible as possible to the reader.


 * On another matter, I have been compiling a list of famous, pre-recording era singers. Would you be able to contribute to this if I show you what I have got so far? Best - Kleinzach 19:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Redundancy or Idiocy?
May I ask why, if there are two lists of gay people, one for writers and one more general, it is considered in your little tiny mind a REDUNDANCY to have a person in BOTH lists?? I want a detailed and rational explanation.

 * I'm sad to read your furious message, I don't see any reasons to write to me so aggressively.
 * you have to understand that the Category:Gay writers is included in Category:LGBT writers, which is at the same time included in Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people. What means that a writer tagged as a 'Gay writer', is automatically in the 'Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people' category. Perhaps is not as clear as other examples, but let's say, and lets continue with Manuel Mujica Laínez, that I tag him not only Category:Argentine writers, but also Category:Argentine people; it would be true since he was born in Argentina, but redundant in the seance that it's already stated that he is from that country in the 'Argentine writers' category.
 * Now, if you consider Mujica Laínez to be an extremely important figure for the Gay community, so that it should also be listed in the 'Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people' category, I would understand it, but I don't think that's the case.
 * I'd like to ask you to maintain a less aggressive tone with other users of the Wikipedia, remember to always assume good faith; I had nothing but that. Mariano (t/c) 05:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I suggest you to cool down before answering your messages, because you are aggresive to me without a reason, and I was nothing but respectful to you. Your position of having the double inclusion as a gay person is a priori not more correct than mine without redundancy, so if I removed the category because you restored it without giving any reason at all in the edit summary, it was not because I wanted to impose anything but to keep thing tight. Your answer to that action was to directly attack me at my talk page instead of opening a discussion at Talk:Manuel Mujica Laínez talk page on the issue. Calling me a censor is way out of line, especially since I left your version of the article after we started this conversation. I try to be reasonable with you not closing myself to my own idea, but it seams that your intellectual ego can't handle a mature conversation. Have a good day. Mariano (t/c) 07:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquess of Carisbrooke
Please do not add rubbish to entries. The Marquisate was created with the standed remainder - heirs male of the body lawfully begotten - as the article previously stated the title became extinct in the death of the first holder.Alci12 16:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So, you have incorrectly altered an entry adding the rarely used special remainder to its decent without providing any evidence. Now you expect me to prove the default decent when you never attempted to prove the exception. Putting aside that exercise in logic: Alci12

Amadeo Vives
At Amadeo Vives: please be more careful about how you use a source. This was almost verbatim from a page of Webber's that you did not even link. I have now both overtly acknowledged that source and reworded enough not to be a blatant plagiarism. Your user page says you have a doctorate, so I should hardly need to tell you this. ~- Jmabel | Talk 06:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
A tag has been placed on Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. JagunTalkContribs 01:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I remind you about putting in references. Otherwise the article can not really stand. DGG (talk) 04:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
