Talk:The Sapphire Necklace

message: ...Wasn't able to add in the business with selling the score to Metzler and buying it back. Anyone see a good place for it?  Adam Cuerden 20:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. Adam Cuerden 18:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've applied some further copy-edits. As the G&S Archive's Sapphire Necklace page is linked at the bottom, I didn't think it was necessary, and indeed I found it distracting, to keep re-linking it throughout the body of the article. Marc Shepherd 20:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite, but figured that if there was a problem with citing, best to use more-or-less University standard, and let someone else remove 'em. Adam Cuerden 20:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Project format for all the articles is to keep it simple by having the external links and References at the bottom.  If there is a quote from a website, the cite can go in the line for clarity, or if it is from a book, the author and page number reference can go in the line.  --Ssilvers 20:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Careful when removing POV phrases - a few of the paragraphs are ending up as unconnected sentences. Adam Cuerden 15:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Which fact did you think needed to be supported?  The lyric's lines are irregular on their face.  If there is something else about the sentence you don't think is clear on its face, rewrite it.  -- Ssilvers 13:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The whole thing is original research. It needs to be cleaned up in terms of what can be verified from citable sources. Marc Shepherd 13:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Remove what you want. I'm sick of the opera right now. Adam Cuerden 15:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that now one can find all the info here in one of the references cited or in links accessible in those two references.  --Ssilvers 16:22, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it is resolved. Marc Shepherd 19:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I would be inclined to argue this was at least B-class. Only thing not present is Chorley's rather self-serving reviews of the concerts (!!!) in the Æthenium. Adam Cuerden talk 19:42, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Adam, you wrote the article, so you're not in a good position to judge it objectively.  I defer to Marc on this one.  By the way, none of the articles in the entire project are rated higher than B, currently.  -- Ssilvers 19:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aye, but Start says that it indcateds that a lot more needs to be added. What could be added? Adam Cuerden talk 23:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Marc changed it to B.  As I said, I defer to him on this article.  -- Ssilvers 01:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aye. Weel, let's see if we can get this up to a level where we can definitively say that we can put a hold on work on it, with one of the levels the g&S project itself can't assign. Adam Cuerden talk 03:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm done with it.  I say leave it and move on to something more important.  You can always come back later.  -- Ssilvers 03:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ...I did phrase that badly - mainly meant "Let's submit it and see what happens." Also submitted Haste to the Wedding. Adam Cuerden talk 04:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't see how it can even be a B without a plot synopsis.  -- Ssilvers 14:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Easily: The plot is entirely unknown. We can't make up plot out of thin air. Adam Cuerden talk 15:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course.  Still, it makes the article inherently incomplete, and I don't think it's really a B, or even worth trying to improve any more.  I think we should just leave it alone and let it be a happy "start" article. -- Ssilvers 15:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with not improving it further, save, perhaps, adding references. Class is arguable (it does, after all, have all available information save reviews of the concerts), but who cares anyway?  Adam Cuerden talk 15:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Class

message: Scott, can you add the details of the production using your libretto?  A brief mention of that production in the article would be of interest, since no other modern perfomances appear to have taken place?   The Mary QoS speculation can't really be mentioned unless there is something to cite to.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers 16:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. It's a little sloppy, but it's a beginning. Should I add a list of characters and go into detail on the plot or give a list of musical numbers or something? It seems kinda skimpy. Slfarrell 22:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: It appears that all your questions have already been researched and addressed in the notes. We didn't have a conductor since the space didn't allow for it. It was a sad production. Slfarrell 15:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
