Hatnote dispute

I`ve requested a third opinion regarding Nannerl. In future though, you should keep your snide remarks ("Your very username is a source of alarm here.") to yourself. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:22, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you took my remark as arbitrary rudeness but I meant to make a serious point: being a fiend about clarity can be a bad thing, if the result is to burden the reader with unwanted detail. Sincerely, Opus33 (talk) 16:31, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Precious five years!

Der Messias

I just came across Mozart's version of Handel's Messiah, Der Messias (much more than an orchestration). I hesitate to link to that new article in its present state, - what do you think. I am happier with the German version. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gerda, I think the topic is fine for WP but the article has many unsourced assertions and looks like original research. It is also redundant, since it includes much material that is proper to the Messiah article. It would be nice if an editor more devoted to WP principles gave a try to fixing these problems but one wonders if the game is worth the candle; not too many readers will see it in any event. Regards, Opus33 (talk) 15:49, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this version, and think everything about Mozart's version was sourced (I didn't copy the sources for the short description of Handel's at that time, and later lost interest), some of course to the score, - we just had the pleasure of singing it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:25, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth I like your version better, though my own preferences go against against including the long summary of the original oratorio. Off topic, I was also in a group that performed this work recently and I have to say I didn't like Mozart's additions at all! The current version of the article discusses critical reception a little bit and it seems I am not alone in this opinion. :=) Opus33 (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer the original always, but it was an interesting experience. There is more in the German version, but I'm really tired of that English article's history, - including trim of the Handel section and being reverted. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:34, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Magic Flute

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

See discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#Template:The_Magic_Flute_edit_warring.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:47, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
