Talk:Amália Rodrigues

message: *"She was unquestionably the most important figure in the genre’s development" - she gets half a sentence on the fado article which makes no mention of her importance.
*"Amália also remains the sole truly international star to have ever come out of Portugal" - unless the editor is trying to say truly international 'fado' start then this is an outrageous claim.
* I went thru & fixed all the familiar firstname references to the more formal lastname references per wp style. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) --LQ 21:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems with article 

message: My grandparents tell me she performed for Queen Elizabeth II at one stage. Couldn't find anything on it, but thought that someone more knowledgeable than me about her would be able to verify, and, if true and important enough, add to the article. 59.101.24.180 (talk) 02:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Performance Queen Elizabeth II 

message: Full of adjectives and personal opinions, like 'Her personality and charisma, her beauty', typical of the overall bad Wikipedia in Portuguese Language that is even a vehicle of self promotion. This article just looks like that. Even Amalia said in interviews that she didn't think of herself as beautiful or ugly but something in between.  --Good Hope Phanta (talk) 16:27, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article style is subjective and lacks sources for most statements. --Erik den yngre (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad article 

message: Moved here for reference: "Her personality and charisma, her beauty and her extraordinary timbre of voice gave depth and intense life to her singing: the impression she made on the public, her immediacy and the natural way she empathized with her public were tremendous and attracted more and more admirers throughout the world." If this subjective statement can be attributed to a reliable source, then can be a quote in the article, if not remove. --Erik den yngre (talk) 16:22, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: inappropriate sections

message: Too vague to be informative (perhaps usable if made more specific):
* "She refused a proposal to appear in the movies in 1954."--Erik den yngre (talk) 12:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Vague sections

message: Use surname in article per name conventions on English WP. --Erik den yngre (talk) 19:28, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Surname 

message: I have now removed or rewritten a lot of the text. Please note that material is removed because it does not conform to WP policy. Please do not insert material without reference to a reliable source, do not insert opinions.  The text still needs improvements with regard:
* sources
* clarity (timeline, specificty of statements)
* structure (artistic accomplishments should be sorted by topic and/or time)
* facts vs judgements/opinions
* (and more)
