Comment[edit]

If the trivia is really notable, it should go elsewhere in the article or, as in the case of the Passmore info, in another article.

Can you please flesh out the references with the name of the publication in which these statements appeared?

Please see the information about the G&S Project at WP:G&S.

Enough. I am done.[edit]

What I thought would be a fun and informative exercise has turned into a chore. Like I was in grad school. "Do this the way we say." I am not naive about how Wikipedia works. But I never guessed that collaboration would mean hijacking. I hope my next experience with Wikipedia will be better. But it will be a long time before I contribute anything to this resource on a light-opera related topic.

There are those who are dying to edit (=restructure) this page. They can have it. I went in this evening and fleshed out the references. That's it. That's all. Do what you want. I am done. C.

I had promised myself I wouldn't care[edit]

... But the hijackers have gone ahead and put up false and misleading information that is really and honestly and truly irksome. The hijackers have accused me of being a "bull in a china shop" by daring to create my own page without their dispensation and thereby threatening the delicate little Wikipedia world they have cobbled together. They think nothing of the bullish way they rooted around in a page on a subject they publicly admitted not wanting to fool around with -- which instead they did, less than 48 hours after it had gone public. And now, less than 12 hours after I relinquish my interest in the page, here they are again. Whose bullish now, I wonder?

And the loser in all this? Mirette.

Good-bye. I am done. C

If something is inaccurate in a Wikipedia article that is of interest to you, simply correct it. See WP:GF. -- Ssilvers 17:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...I'm not sure I follow. All I'm seeing is a few minor requests and a bit of rearranging of material. What, exactly, is wrong here? Adam Cuerden ^talk 04:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why under G&S?[edit]

This is under the G&S banner although all the other Messager is under Opera. What is the logic behind this, I wonder? --Klein zach 04:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was commissioned by Richard D'Oyly Carte. It played at the Savoy Theatre immediately following Utopia, Limited, using the same cast as the G&S operas, and can be considered a Savoy opera.

Fair enough. I read "The first version of the libretto is credited as being written in French by Michel Carré" maybe that needs to be clarified . . . presumably the performance was in English. --Klein zach 04:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I added a clarification in the article LEAD. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:56, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The absent song-list[edit]

As I understand Wiki guidelines, there is supposed to be a list of the songs in the work. But Mirette is devoid of one, possibly because of the two versions. Shall I put one (or two) in? Slfarrell (talk) 18:40, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. I think the best thing is to put in the original song list and then, immediately below it, give a note describing the changes for the 2nd version. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The changes are pretty substantial. I think that would only confuse a reader, and that a second list would show the differences much more clearly. Slfarrell (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My numbering is not turning out. The storm is getting stronger now, so I can't continue editing today. Slfarrell (talk) 21:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I fixed the numbering for you - looks OK? -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's fine. Thanks. Let's see, what else have I got to do on this project? Slfarrell (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
