Talk:Lukáš Vondráček

Who is Lukas

Is this article about a person or a product. It reads like an advert outside a theatre. Does this person do anything apart from play the piano? We get it, everyone thinks he's wonderful, so why keep repeating it? Is there some doubt? Tell us about that. Victuallers (talk) 15:12, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Interesting life, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook better, but would add a year, and drop "in the competion's history" as redundant. Would you agree? Then please rephrase. Please fix error messages in the refs. I'd prefer no refs in the lead (but in the body instead), the Rachmaninoff mentioned before the quote about it, and the long clause in brackets at the end opened, but that's your choice. I'd give him an infobox, but also up to you. We need a qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:49, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Dear @Gerda Arendt:, how is everything now? I wrote a revised version of the original hook as ALT2. I will probably add the infobox at a later time. Zingarese talk · contribs (please use {{reply to|Zingarese}} on reply; thanks!) 01:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Or - for more immediacy,

ALT2a: ... that in 2016, pianist Lukáš Vondráček was the first Czech musician to win the Queen Elisabeth Competition?

ALT2b: ... that in 2016, Lukáš Vondráček was the first Czech musician to win the Queen Elisabeth piano competition?

Thank you, everything is fine for DYK! If you want to make the article better: try more chronological order, beginning with the debut in Career. Did Ashkenazy say what he is quoted having said then? If not place it in context, and if not known when at the very end. Leave the long list of orchestras for just before that end, omitting all that have been mentioned before. These lists are called laundry lists, and completely boring to me. Try to say for some which music with which conductor where. Take the 3 most fascinating to the lead, but again, better not just the orchestra name. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
