Article is new and long enough and there are no copyvio concerns. The appearances in Così fan tutte, the Glyndebourne Festival Opera and the "space opera" are cited, but the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions winner isn't - so we'll need an inline citation to a reliable source that confirms that. I can't imagine that'll be difficult. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- I added the one with the most details, in case readers want to know exactly. Two external links mention the same thing (besides her web and the management), and the image of the 6 winners is on many more. Go see if you have a chance (or at least see that little video) ;) - Inès was great! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
And we're good to go. I saw the BBC clip - the operatic performances had glamour (although if you don't mind me saying that corset looks awfully ill-fitting, but I'm not an expert on these things), while in the interview she looks like, well, a typical Wikipedian. (I'd give you a video of what I've been working on today, but - and I mean this in the nicest way possible - you'd scratch your head wondering what on earth he was talking about) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
