[edit] Categories
VMORO: The Category:Opera singers has been taxonomically grouped into people by voice type and also into Category:Opera singers by nationality. As such, the Boris Christoff article should go into the Category:Bulgarian opera singers, and should not remain in Category:Opera singers since this is a parent category of the Bulgarian opera singer category. The same goes for Category:Bulgarian people; Bulgarian opera singers is a subcategory of Bulgarian musicians, which is a subcategory of Bulgarian opera singers. This avoids redundency. Please see Wikipedia:Categorization if you have any addition questions. Thanks. --BaronLarf 16:15, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Once again, there are no articles in the Category:Opera singers except for the ones that you are reverting there. They have all been subcategorized, as is encouraged in the Wikipedia:Categorization. I encourage you to visit the Opera singers category to take note of this. It's rather silly for Boris Christoff and Raina Kabaivanska to be the only exception. This isn't "hiding" the article, just giving it a greater degree of categorization. It has nothing to do with the size of Bulgaria.
- For example, someone like Renée Fleming could be listed under Category:American singers, Category:American opera singers, Category:United States musicians, Category:Opera singers, Category:American people, etc. Instead, she is just listed under Category:American opera singers since this is a subcategory under everything else. It reduces redundancy and makes categories much easier to navigate through. Cheers. --BaronLarf 20:53, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Met?
The article states, "He refused any further invitations to the Metropolitan and never appeared there." It also states, "While not of huge proportions, his voice had no trouble making an impact in big auditoria such as that of the Met." Did he, then, sing at the Met after all? If so, then the first statement needs revision. If not, perhaps some other auditorium would be a better choice in the second. Drhoehl (talk) 02:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
