Vandalization
editSomebody wrote the line "watch free gay porn" between the first two paragraphs. I have removed it. AlbertSM (talk) 15:45, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. These things happen due to the open nature of this encyclopedia. Be assured that if you had not, an editor here would have within minutes at the most. The Today's Featured Article is closely watched, but there is a reaction time, we are only human.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Artwork
editReplaced the artwork in the infobox per the discussion here. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:51, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I have a copy of the playbill coming, hopefully there is no copyright notice.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Like new order
editObviously the article could function either way, but the flow of *origin of the plot, the plot, tryouts, reception* seems to work in these articles. For one thing, for these plays the commercial story is more of interest than the art work itself. Also, I find the plots to be a little more of a pill to swallow with all the names and songs and all. So getting things going with a section that is an easier read is a little nicer.
Of course, I don't know if the changes were made because they were beleived best for the reader, or because of acquiscence to critics. {{wink}}
Anyway...glad to see a star on this thing! {{congrats}}
- I really wanted to try it differently. I'm a nonconformist and if an article can be a little different, I'm all for it. Thanks for the congrats.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Character names
editPresumably, the character names are meant to be evocative of Romeo and Juliet and Carmen; however, the character in "Carmen" is Don José, not Don Juan. Presumably, this was an error by Hammerstein, but I'm at a loss in figuring out whether or how to mention it. Incidentally, for anyone interested in gleaning some info on the Chicago production, there's currently a Chicago playbill available on eBay at http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Rodgers-Hammerstein-ME-JULIET-Ray-Walston-1954-Chicago-Playbill-/401303319634?hash=item5d6f8ab452.

- I think it's Don Juan à la Don Giovanni. He could deal with Carmen which Jose does not, at least not in an acceptable way.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
