A fact from Kihwan Sim appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 January 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Kihwan Sim, a bass-baritone performer at the Oper Frankfurt, learned to play the tuba during his two years of military service?

@Gerda Arendt and Piotrus: I'm sorry to say that I don't actually understand the last half of this hook, and I still don't really understand after having looked at the article. What does "as a hint at the French Revolution" mean? From the article, it appears that an aria was somewhat reminiscent of the revolution (?) but from the hook it seems that Kihwan's appearance is the hint at the revolution, or perhaps Guggeis's newness as "GMD"? No clue. Is it not possible to have a hook based on his "internationality" (... that the South Korean bass-baritoneKihwan Sim studied in Germany, won prizes in France and Finland, and performed in New York, Copenhagen, London, Budapest, and Moscow?) or something that we mere mortals can grasp? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:45, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The part was meant to express that in the production, the role of a lower-class servant opposing (and winning against) his noble boss was stressed as pre-revolutionary, but if that is not understood we better drop it. (The play and the opera based on it were written shortly before the French revolution, and not liked by nobility and thus censorship. Europeans are typically aware of it.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Date, size, refs, hook, neutrality, QPQ, copyvio spotcheck, all GTG. No problems here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:55, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
