Needs a film adaptation!

Also, links could use cleaning up.

Thank you, Tlowder. I will attend to the links as soon as I have some time to work on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgiasouthernlynn (talk • contribs) 18:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I am the author of the article. Thank you for the feedback you have provided so far. I will work very hard to make this article better and to make it conform to Wikipedia standards. I have created internal links to Talmadge, World War 11, Britten, Bartok, Bernstein, and Georgia Southern University. If anyone sees any other topics in the article that should be linked to, please advise me or help me out by making the changes youself. I welcome input from more experienced editors and contributors. I will work on the format early next week.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgiasouthernlynn (talk • contribs) 22:22, 26 January 2009

Further suggestions

[edit]

The references need formatting too. More in a minute. Voceditenore (talk) 22:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've made a good start, and have added plenty of references, which is very important. I've formatted the ones in the Critical reception section to show you how it's done, using detailed descriptions of what the links point to, and making them into footnotes. External links inside the text of the article are distracting to the reader. More importantly, if a bare link goes cold, the reader has no idea what the name of the article was, the author, the publication, or the date. The reference then loses all its value in verifying the article. The article also needs to have more information about the opera itself, rather than concentrating primarily on its subject matter. Here are some links to other opera articles, to give you an idea of what should be added and how to structure the article: The Visitors, Henry Clifford, The Io Passion. But it doesn't have to be done all at once. Wikipedia is a work in progress.;-) Best, Voceditenore (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've finished formatting all the references turned the inline links to proper footnotes. Have also expanded the performance details. The article still needs information about the scoring, etc. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:18, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
