[edit] D'Oyly Carte
I removed extra "D'Oyly's". After the name is first given, Richard D'Oyly Carte the man is always referred to as "Carte," not "D'Oyly Carte." There are many examples of this, including Gilbert's letters to him, which were always "Dear Carte." Similarly, his granddaughter, Dame Bridget D'Oyly Carte, was always "Miss Carte." In contrast, the opera company is always the "D'Oyly Carte Opera Company," or "D'Oyly Carte."
Yes, it can be confusing at first, but one quickly gets used to it. Marc Shepherd 15:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
In that case, I suggest you do the same with Mr Carte's own entry, which last time I looked had references to him as "D'Oyly Carte". Birdhurst 21:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to catch all of them, but if I find any others I'll correct them. Marc Shepherd 22:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

- It's happened again...someone added extra "D'Oyly's". Except when stating the full name, he was normally referred to as "Carte," not "D'Oyly Carte." Marc Shepherd 02:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expert Needed
This article is incomplete. It skips many years of Carte's history, credits him for keeping the G&S partnership together, but does not mention his role in its dissolution. Marc Shepherd 02:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- The article has been expanded now. More refining is needed, however, and the article should be check to see if it harmonises well with the articles on Savoy Theatre, Helen Lenoir, and Rupert D'Oyly Carte. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 02:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
