![]() Welcome to the Opera Project! |
---|
Hello, Emperor1993! We're delighted you've signed up to join us! Opera is a very active, medium-sized project with more than 4,400 articles - it's smaller than the mega-projects like Music etc, but it is also larger than closely-focused projects such as Richard Wagner. We have a discussion page linked to the main project page where you signed in. Participants work together on articles, see for example the Composer of the month, Singer of the month and Can you help? features on the Project page. Please take part! The scope of the project is huge: 400 years of history, many countries and many languages. For that reason the editing style of opera articles can sometimes be complicated, so we have detailed guidelines for formatting on the project page, covering the tricky points like opera titles, capitalization, categories etc. Please don't be too bothered if you make a few mistakes at first - we all went through the same thing when we started! Some opera editors use reference books such the New Grove Dictionary of Opera, New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the Oxford Dictionary of Opera and the Viking Opera Guide. These are helpful for checking facts and providing the essential references required on Wikipedia. It's great if you can get access to these books. However if you don't have access to books, there are still many other ways you can contribute to the project: compiling lists of recordings, writing synopses of your favourite operas using CD librettos, translating texts from other languages, picture researching, writing biographies of contemporary singers from online sources etc etc - and see also the To do list for articles needing attention.
We hope you have a great time on the Opera Project. |

I've reverted your juvenile contribution to Mary Harney. Try contributing usefully in future, instead of making fat jokes. Snappy56 (talk) 10:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Niall Guinan, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Niall Guinan seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Niall Guinan, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

hello niall!! GET SOME USERBOXES!!! Zu Anto 17:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The categories you are adding seem at odds with the article text. If the editors who are reverting the insertions are wrong, please tell them about it on the talk page! Best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]Could you possibly explain your project at the Wagner project? Thanks. --Kleinzach 00:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I could mention those stubs to certain admins.and here:9K111 Fagot. There's another faggot :D Zu Anto 16:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your work on these — we definitely need opera discographies. I'm wondering if you can include catalogue numbers? Regards. --Kleinzach 03:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits to Jerry Falwell, Ronald Reagan, Pat Robertson, Don't ask, don't tell, United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Coast Guard, and Ian Paisley represent a non-neutral pont of view, and have been reverted. Simply because you do not agree with the policies of these people/organizations does not mean they represent a homophobic view. Because Wikipedia strives to be as neutral as possibly, only those people or groups who are deemed homophobic through consensus should be included in such a possibly offensive category. Also, I'd like to note that adding the military under such a label is quite offensive: you have no idea what each member may or may not think about LGBT rights; to say that the whole of the Unites States Military is homophobic is unfair and quite rude. The edits to The Holocaust and Adolf Hitler are a bit less black an white, and you should discuss the catgeorization on the talk page, because I am sure many other editors will not agree with you.
I understand that it was not your intent to vandalise or insult anyone, and you have a pretty clean edit history. Perhaps you can learn from this: potentially controversial edits should always be discussed before they are made. WP:BOLD only extends so far, and should never be used to justify defying consensus or NPOV. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 10:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit of the U.S. Coast Guard article is both non-productive and juvenile. Please contribute only helpful and authoritative information to this article. If you feel that the Coast Guard is indeed "homophobic" then do research on the subject and please include it in the article with your references. Having served in the Coast Guard, I can assure you that the organization is not "homophobic" and is merely following the intent of regulations set down by Congress and executive orders required by the President.
I can't speak for other Coast Guardsmen, but I can tell you that if the President directs me to quit following the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that is currently in force; them I would have no problem in following that order.
It is counter-productive for you to vandalize in the name of gay rights or whatever, it just gives opponents ammunition to use against your cause. People resent being pushed. Cuprum17 (talk) 19:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to United States Navy. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

[edit]This is a good start, but you need a lot more to prevent it from being deleted again. Bearian (talk) 22:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, TheGeniusPrince. We really are not supposed to put people into categories such as Category:Bisexual people without that sexual orientation being confirmed for that person. As the Gia Carangi article says, her sexual orientation is disputed; no one knows which of the two sexual orientations she identified by for sure (or if she even identified by a sexual orientation for herself), which is why she is sometimes listed as lesbian and other times as bisexual. Flyer22 (talk) 00:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]I'm wondering why you felt it necessary to add a category to this film that suggested it had LGBT content. As near as I can tell from a reading of the article itself, there's no suggestion anywhere that any of the characters is gay. Is there something that you're suggesting is in the film that isn't written about in the article? Perhaps you could provide a citation that would back this up. (BTW, I'm gay, and as anxious as the next man to see our history reflected in film; I just don't grasp what you're getting at here.) Accounting4Taste:talk 20:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I noticed that you reverted my edit to the List of bisexual people. I'd like to point out to you that Wentz does not use the label of bisexual to describe himself, and he also made it clear that he was not interested in going below the waist in his encounters with men. I therefore removed him from the list on the basis that his statements were quite ambiguous, and that he is a living person and that the article is bound by the rules pertaining to biographies of living people. Thank you. Asarelah (talk) 17:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from the Opera Project. I'm writing to all members on the active list to let them know that we could use your input on several issues currently under discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera:
Please drop by if you have the time. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]I reverted your addition of a cat to this article as the parent cat which it belongs states Articles about notable LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) people who have publicly declared their sexual orientation or gender identity, or whose sexual orientation or gender identity is known and not debated by historians. The sexuality of Casement is debated and as such should not be added, best. BigDunc 22:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please see our project's talk page for a discussion of the possible changes to Wikipedia's policy on the biographies of living persons and the implications this will have for many articles under the project's banner. This is especially important if you are looking after or have created unreferenced or minimally referenced opera-related biographies of living people.

I have nominated Fidelio discography, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fidelio discography. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:59, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
