Changing capitalization for Italian operas

Hi. I wonder if you could not change the capitalization of Italian opera titles. We follow the Italian capitalization rules of Grove, Oxford etc. It's an established system and we have hundreds of Italian operas capitalized in that way. I also see you've been adding some pictures. That's great. Please feel free to join the Opera Project. The project has full information about opera coverge, guidelines etc - including capitalization. Best - and welcome to Wikipedia. --Kleinzach (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once again please don't change the capitilization as I see you have just done La pietra del paragone. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Opera#Operas:_original_language_titles. Thank you. --Klein zach 22:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Il turco in Italia is one of the tricky ones. Grove gives small t, large I - presumably because they don't regard Turco as a proper noun (so it's like Il barbiere di Siviglia). If you have questions about this please ask on the Opera Project talk page. We have one or two Rossini specialists and they will be delighted to help. --Klein zach 22:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Oscar Whitfield

Hello Rossini1868, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Oscar Whitfield, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:Savonneux. This has been done because the page seems to be about a person, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "{{hangon}}" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:Savonneux. Thanks, - SDPatrolBot II (talk) on behalf of Savonneux (talk · contribs) 00:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Elizabeth (novel)

The article Elizabeth (novel) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

An unpublished novel (by an author whose entry has been speedied for lack of notability) has no inherent notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

AfD Nomination: Elizabeth (novel)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Elizabeth (novel) meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elizabeth (novel). Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Accounting4Taste:talk 22:15, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
