Talk:Mario Del Monaco

message: I have restored the quote from Magda Olivero as Del Monaco WAS criticised as well as adored. Too many BIG tenors on Wikipedia have their groupies who will not listen to any comments (Antonio Paoli for example seems to be a near God and the page is locked - critics had their say now and then, but the "Big Tenor Mafia" silence any comments), Del Monaco was great but some people didn't think him perfect - they might be wrong, they may be right, but it was said. Not to include such comments is rather like saying "Hitler was a nice man" and ignoring what people said about him! Typical Wikipedia - "don't say anything I think is horrible (if true) about my idol." That's what's so bad about Wikipedia - just obsessive's protecting their idols,   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.101.12.88 (talk) 22:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism

message: I removed the "Heldentenor" category for Mario del Monaco. His loud voice was certainly heroic in proportions, but the term "heldentenor" is applied to exponents of German opera, and Richard Wagner's oeuvre in particular. None of this material was in del Monaco's repertoire.68.72.109.75 13:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: del Monaco as Heldentenor

message: No. No solo singer is "one of a quartet".  Change that. Please. There may have been four great tenors in that era, but they were not a quartet. That is a silly term to use for a person who sang as a soloist.   The person who put that term in this article is not a musician, nor intelligent. Remove it! Please, and thank you.

message: I am reproducing below the message I posted in user Kaja Enäveri's talk page referring to the rollback of some of her edits.
::Dear Kaja  Enäveri, I regret having had to revert twice your edits at the article on Mario Del Monaco. Both times I pointed out the reasons why I was intervening. The second time, in particular, I wrote: "Undid several subsequent good faith edits by Kaja Enäveri as they did not comply with Wikipedia principles (they cited no sources while arbitrarily expunging all those previously mentioned; added non neutral laudatory statements; cut sourced information out; etc.)"
::If you want to complain about my behaviour, and you do not know Wikipedia habits, I could suggest either you post your complaints in the WikiProject Opera talk page so that other users can intervene, or you contact administrators.
::I am very sorry indeed. --Jeanambr (talk) 15:32, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
