Figaro Gets a Divorce[edit]
- ... that Figaro's divorce will take place in Cardiff more than two centuries after his marriage?

Created by Smerus (talk). Self nominated at 21:54, 20 March 2015 (UTC).
New enough, long enough, and free of any major policy issues (it is neutral, cites sources sufficiently well, and is free from any plagiarism issues; the one direct quote seems sensible and not too long). The hook is short enough and is certainly interesting, but it is not directly supported by citations in the article, as they mention neither the date of the Mozart opera The Marriage of Figaro (1786) nor the two centuries plus that will have passed between it and the 2016 premier of Figaro Gets a Divorce. As QPQ has been done, I'll be more than happy to pass this nomination once the hook is properly cited in the article. Michael Barera (talk) 02:49, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Michael Barera: Thanks for this. I have now reworded slightly and added citation for dates of Mozart opera and Beaumarchais play. I think the difference of 200 years+ does not need to be specifically mentioned in the text on this basis, as it is sufficiently clear. Hope this is now OK by you. Best, --Smerus (talk) 11:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, Smerus. As I don't have access to the book that is used as the new citation, I am passing this nomination while accepting the reference in good faith. Good to go! Michael Barera (talk) 14:21, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
