Talk:Fado

message: Guys, an appropriate translation of fado is pine...?  Deep Atlantic Blue (talk) 21:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation?

message: It's a shame that an article about a musical form does not discuss the music. When I hear a Fado melody, what makes that a Fado melody? What, musically, is Fado? Is it in minor keys? Are there certain common rhythms or chord movements? And if this isn't the case... that too, should be adressed. Gingermint (talk) 23:22, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: O Fado is everything. It is not condemned to certain rhythms or chords. "Tudo isto existe, Tudo isto é triste, Tudo isto é fado" (All this exists, All this is sad, All this is Fado). Cristiano Tomás (talk) 23:42, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: So what does the music sound like?

message: The article is quite a close translation of saudade but doesn't quite capture the meaning, and further fails as it is a verb, whereas saudade is a noun - this implies there is no noun derived from the verb "to pine" in english. What about 'pining'?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.240.232.254 (talk) 22:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article be at Fado. There is no article there, it just redirects here. I would move it myself if I was able to delete the redirect: I don't want to lose the history. — Trilobite (Talk) 02:16, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Ah but I can't. That's why I brought it up here instead of just going ahead with the move. It needs an admin to delte the redirect at Fado so that there's an empty place to move this article to. It's not an urgent problem though, as anyone who types in Fado will end up as this article. For consistency though it should be moved. — Trilobite (Talk) 16:41, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Surely there should be a whole section on Amália, not on unknown north american singers... someone with the expertise to do this... I'll have a go at it in the following weeks...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.73.160.105 (talk) 06:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You would think so!  I am no expert, but I'll see what I can do.  Mariza should be mentioned as well. Gandydancer (talk) 02:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi. Why include a picture of an unknown, when there are hundreds of fado singers who have come to symbolise this music genre? This singer is not known and even the talk page on her questions whether she meets the noyability criteria. I would like to go ahead and remove it.

message: I believe I have the right code in the infobox, however, this template doesn't have a slot for a picture.  And it's protected.  So an admin has to unprotect it and then you can add in 
| image      = 
Which, if I understand right, will give the template a picture slot.  But I'm not an expert here.  If it doesn't work, find someone who understands templates better. Be——Critical 03:59, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The article dithers about the capitalisation of "fado".  I can't see any reason, in the terms of WP:MOSCAP, for it to be capitalised - it's no more a proper name than jazz, blues, or soul.  Is there any reason it should be capitalised, beyond the ordinary rules of English? -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 21:18, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

The text was excerpted from "Circuito Museológico", written by Sara Pereira in 2008, as noted on that web page.
