Le Bourgeois gentilhomme

It's an entire ballet by Lully and Molière, sans Molière's dialogue between the movements. The importance is obvious, and, insofar as I can be considered able to judge Baroque music, I think the performance quite good. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

It's used in Lully, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, and various bits are used elsewhere, e.g. French overture.

• Nominate and support. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
• I hate this silly business of making up one of the required three "votes" in nomination and support. What the rule are, in effect, is two votes, isn't it. The vote of the nominator is clearly a conflict of interest. And if there are co-nominators, does that mean that only one reviewer's "Support" is required? Now, en dashes, not hyphens, required in the titles. Spelling error in the info page of the first one. Good performance indeed; pity about the boxy acoustics. Where was it recorded, and by whom?

  • This is how it's been done in every featured content voting section since time immemorial. Secondly, it's a horrible, horrible idea to use things that cannot be typed on any keyboard in a file name. Some keyboards can type é. At the least, it's immediately clear that é is not e. That is not true with - and –. This is basic common sense. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
  • I didn't realize that the nominator could support his or her own nomination! (Obviously I wasn't paying attention!) Anyway this can't be right! --Kleinzach 09:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
    • It's in the template, as it is in WP:FP and various others. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
      • Then I think it's high time there was a reform. Where can I propose it? --Kleinzach 07:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
        • Try the talk page here, but I would suggest that there would have to be a simultaneous discussion on WT:FPC. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 20:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

• Support I sampled randomly and it seems a perfectly acceptable performance. Eusebeus (talk) 15:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Promoted all. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:11, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
