Why baritone?
[edit]Why is the article named after the type of singing voice rather than just write "singer"? Fr.dror (talk) 05:57, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Because there are other singers of the same name who have articles. See George Baker. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:11, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

[edit]I reviewed the recent changes and retained useful info. I reversed three other major cnanges:
- I removed the proposed infobox. Most articles in the scope of the Gilbert and Sullivan project do not have them, and I don't think that one added anything, besides having the other disadvantages of infoboxes (lack of nuance, repetition, focus on trivia, etc.) that I can detail if anyone wants to read them.
- It was proposed to move the G&S stuff into the center of the article. I am happy to talk about that, though my instinct is that it makes the biographical stuff harder to follow.
- The totally redundant publications section. His publications are not that important to his life and career, and they are fully listed above.

- You've basically just reversed the article back to your version prior to my improvements, including re-installing an inferior image. This is obviously your pet project and, to be honest, I can't be bothered taking you up on your dubious justifications for the reversals. It's all yours. I prefer to deal with editors who engage collaboratively. By the way, you have an issue with a named reference (gammond) to deal with. Ikeshut2 (talk) 19:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- No, I accepted most of your changes, expressed my objections to some others, and invited you to discuss the others that you proposed. See WP:BRD. I've just added the image that you uploaded. It is you who is reluctant to engage collaboratively. Feel free to discuss the purpose of your other edits here. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:51, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
