[edit] Citizenship
The article says he has dual citizenship of Spain and Mexico. Is this indeed correct? Please verify and add link to verifiable information source. (May 16, 2006)
- I don't know about the dual citizenship but he is indeed a Mexican citizen[1] -- Lancini87 20:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you, Lancini87. To my knowledge, somewhere in one of his biographies, Mr. Domingo mentions that he had to give up his Mexican citizenship in Franco's time, since he always had difficulties when entering his native Spain because of this back then. It would speak for the fact that he is not Mexican citizen (any more) today. I would not completely trust the one link mentioned above. In most current biographies, the mention is of Domingo as a "Spanish tenor" and not of "Spanish-Mexican tenor" (only here in Wikipedia!). Of course, and without doubt, Mexico plays a very, very important role in his life, but this that not mean that he is a citizen of Mexico. May 17, 2006

- Well, right, these are all pages that mention that he is "Spanish-Mexican" (about 70 webpages).... but when you search for "Spanish", you'll find 96,600 webpages :-) [4] I'll look if I can find the page in Domingo's AUTObiography. It's somewhere in his first biography, the "My first 40 years" but I'll have to find where exactly. May 19, 2006

- Well, of course there's going to be more sources that refer to him simply as Spanish. After all, he WAS born in Spain. But as you said before "Mexico plays a very, very important role in his life", even more than his native country. -- Lancini87 16:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

He gave an interview about the time of Cancun concert in December 2003 where he refrained from commenting on some aspect of Mexican politics because he is not Mexican, merely lives in Mexico. AndI have read nterviews where he says his wife and sons are Mexican.
[edit] Vandalism
- Once again, someone has been vandalising the page..... It's not "minor edits" as he/she says...... What can one do? Maybe this wiki page should be locked once again... It's really a nuisance! May 19, 2006
I have posted this the following on the Talk page of this vandal. We need to keep an eye on continued purile nonsence of this type and, if it continues, go through the Admin. blocking process. Vivaverdi 16:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] discography
The official SonyBMG Masterworks discography link for this artist is as follows
It (in most cases) contains a full listing of in-print CDs released on the SonyBMG labels within the US (for the moment), along with track listings and in some cases audio clips (which will become more robust in the new year). Ecommerce links are provided inobtrusively.
I have been informed that it creates a conflict of interest to post these links directly from my account, so please consider adding the page to the link section. Thanks.
[edit] Postnominals?
Knights Commander of the British Empire are customarily awarded the postnominal initials KBE, and their names in Wikipedia article titles are displayed with those initials and a link to the corresponding page. If no one knows of any reason why Mr. Domingo does not use those postnominals in his name, I suggest they be added to the article. 65.60.250.14 19:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Brian
Seeing no objection or comments on this issue, I have made the proposed modifications. 65.60.250.14 00:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Brian
