  • New enough and long enough. A surprising rescue indeed. All hooks are good, but I strongly prefer ALT0, and everything is in the article. I don't know if I like the ref [4] as a reliable source, but that's not a core item to fix for DYK purposes (nor is the lack of proper clippings).

Singer, or librettist, or composer

[edit]

Botti is introduced in the lead as an opera singer, but in the article, very little is said about her singing in opera. Then we are told that she was librettist of two operas, but only in the prose do we get to know that she also composed them. Could that lead please be less misleading, Miraclepine? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:29, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Gerda Arendt: Done; I've fixed it proportionate to what the body says. However, "composer of contemporary classical music" also broadly covers her librettist compositions, while "librettist" covers her writing of the opera's text. Also, info about her opera singing amounts to a full paragraph. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, much better, but we still don't get from the lead that she also wrote the music for the two operas, which the prose suggests, to my understanding, "she wrote Wonderglass, an opera inspired by Alice in Wonderland". If she wrote only the libretto, it should be clearly said there. "writing an opera" commonly means "writing the music for an opera" because text alone doesn't make an opera. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:35, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
@Gerda Arendt: I've clarified to note that she also composed Wonderglass. Since I'm struggling to find a source that is more specific on which she did beyond just the whole work (particularly re Telaio: Desdemona), I've fixed "career as a librettist" as the broader "career in opera" for now while (indirectly) addressing her being the librettist of Wonderglass. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:29, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. (I know the struggle with sources, just working on Edith Mathis.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:33, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
@Gerda Arendt: Same here. Better safe than sorry. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
