Talk:List of opera companies in Europe

"non-exhaustive"?

Do you mean 'inclusive'? --Kleinzach (talk) 06:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

By non-exhaustive I really meant it was incomplete. As in there are a lot of other companies out there not on the list. But this is a list that is inclusive in the sense that those companies listed only need to meet the general wikipedia notability guidelines and be actually located in Europe. Also take a look at what I did to List of North American opera companies.Nrswanson (talk) 06:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. That's inclusive (opposite exclusive, selected etc.). Your maps and linking are great! (Hope there are no mistakes!) By the way, please indent your comments. Gives everyone a better impression etc. No indent and your comments (or someone else's) may be missed. --Kleinzach (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you and I will try to remember to indent for now on. I am sure there are a few mistakes as I am not perfect. One of the problems is that sometimes wikipedia articles don't use the actual official names of opera companies and haven't bothered to redirect official titles to the name of the article. In the case of European companies this is especially true with the foriegn language titles not being redirected to the article on the company whose name has been transliterated into English. On the North American page I have found some issues like the official title of San Diego Opera is really The San Diego Opera Association. So when I listed it under the official title it came up as red. You get the idea. It is going to take a while to go through the whole list and make sure that some red linked companies don't already have articles under a different name.Nrswanson (talk) 07:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I've been doing quite a lot of them as you've seen. Almost all major companies should have articles and you can search for them. --Kleinzach (talk) 07:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you I appriciate that. I have just changed all of the city names to the English versions of them.Nrswanson (talk) 07:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Gars

Gars is in Germany not Austria - or is the name wrong? --Kleinzach (talk) 13:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

There is also a Gars in Austria. Here is the link to the company's website. click hereNrswanson (talk) 14:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I just found a wikipedia article on the town calling it Gars am Kamp.Nrswanson (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Some fixed column widths to create a better-looking table with consistency???

I adjusted the "Company" col width to 200px. It creates wrapping when the title is longer. Now, we could also fix the "Theatres" and "Cities" columns too to fit across the page.

Overall, I think it would make the whole thing look a lot better looking as well as making it easier to read. Any thoughts before I (or anyone else: takers?) proceeds? Viva-Verdi (talk) 22:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Good idea. I say go for it.4meter4 (talk) 22:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't see the need for almost 50 individual tables. In my opinion, a simple bullet list or a single table would work much better:

• Albania
  • National Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Albania, Tirana
• Armenia
  • Armenia National Opera and Ballet, Yerevan Opera Theater, Yerevan
• Austria
  • Bregenzer Festspiele, Bregenz
  • …
  • Linz State Theatre, Linz

Country	Company	House	Location
Albania	National Theatre of Opera and Ballet of Albania		Tirana
Armenia	Armenia National Opera and Ballet	Yerevan Opera Theater	Yerevan
Austria		Bregenzer Festspiele	Bregenz
	…
	Linz State Theatre		Linz

It's a lot of work for a non-essential list. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:41, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, you make a good point, Michael. It seems that all the lists are set up in this way and, though I don't feel inclined to do the same with them, I've now completed the revision here. It certainly looks better, although the empty spaces jump out at one..... Viva-Verdi (talk) 15:06, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
