Template talk:Did you know nominations/Alessandra Marianelli

This is a comment from Lisaby (talk) to Moonraker (talk) and Voceditenore(talk). (Being new to Wikipedia creation, the preceding sentence may not be the correct way to specify the addressees.) The comment concerns four references in the Alessandra Marianelli bio. Ref. no. 1 seems to me to be a potted biography posted by the LNSO prior to Marianelli's Musetta in March - April 2011. Ref. no. 2 is linked to the statement "and never having seen a live opera performance,". Moonraker says in Editing Template:Did you know nominations/Alessandra Marianelli (section) that the statement comes from "another source". Shouldn't this source be cited? I haven't been able to find it. Ref. no. 15 is an announcement of the film "Io, Don Giovanni >/ Don Giovanni, naissance d'un opéra", but Marianelli's name doesn't appear in the referenced document. Her name does appear in the Wikipedia article on the film and in a bunch of other unusable sources, including - I suppose - the IMDB database. Ref. no. 17 refers to Myrtò Papatanasiu's Fiorilla at Genoa. The Web abounds with references to Marianelli's Fiorilla at Pesaro, but I'm unable to identify a usable source among them.

Lisaby, re your concerns...
  • Ref 1 It is OK to use an official biography to source basic facts like date and place of birth, and education once notability is established by secondary sources. Please see this guideline.
  • Ref 2 got separated from Ref 3 and thus the numbering had been reversed. Thank you for pointing that out. I've fixed this. The current Ref 2 verifies never having seen a live opera performance before she took part in the Cascinalirica competition. Ref. 3 verifies that she placed 2nd.
  • Ref 15 does list her in the cast as Zerlina in Io, Don Giovanni. See page 10
  • Ref 17 discusses Ref 18 and states that there was a prior (positive) review by Barry Bresnal of the Il Turco in Italia DVD with Marianelli's performance. Ref 17 specifically mentions Marianell. Ref 18 gives the bibliographic information for Bresnal's review. Ref 7 is a review in a reliable source of the live performance at Pesaro in 2007 of which that DVD is a recording. See OCLC 311520821. I really don't see what your problem is here.
