Article name

edit

Why is this article named "Olegas (opera)" and not simply "Olegas"? There is no need for the disambuation qualifier "(opera)". I suggest to mov the article back to "Olegas".

Also, the wrong target for this work in the Template:Koukias operas needs to be fixed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Tasmanian 1st, Australian 2nd

edit

... Lithuanian-born Tasmanian wilderness photographer Olegas Truchanas (1923–1972), by Tasmanian (Australian) composer Constantine Koukias ....

So, why are these people considered to be Tasmanian first and Australian second (or, not even Australian at all in Truchanas's case)? Did/do they so regard themselves? True, Truchanas was particularly associated with Tasmania, but to the general international reader he was an Australian and should be described as such. As for Koukias, he is very much alive and could move anywhere tomorrow. Calling him "Tasmanian (Australian)" is ridiculous. He is Australian. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 12:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
