- Reviewing. Copyvio ok, long enough, new enough. Hook is in article followed by non-English citation. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:33, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
nearly all ok. Thank you. I trust you will insert a citation after one paragraph as indicated. Hook is in article and followed by inline citation. Not sure if hook the interesting but I can't think of another one and otherwise fits dyk. All references are non-English. QPQ needed. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry to disappoint you. The source given for the German article I translated, Gärtnerplatztheater, is now given to a male singer. She left in 2010, married, changed her career path. I trust that the things mentioned about what she did until then are true, but didn't find a source other than her personal website, so far. What can we do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you @Gerda Arendt:. It would be advisable to find a reputable source to back up any content in article or not include it. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:20, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- You are right, and I knew that. We have some problems here: She changed her name. The name Specht is rather common. She changed her career path. - If we can't source education, there will be no education. For singers, there's a great souce, a book by Kutsch, 2004, before most of her career. For operas, there's a great site, Operabase, listing all roles - from 2013, after her career. You see that we can find sources for individual roles, that's what the hook is built on. I don't think I will have the time to look for sources for every single one. So again the question: what do we do? - I looked up the user who created her article in German: de:Benutzer:Manfi.B. - looks reliable to me. I guess I'll ask him/her, rather than giving up already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

- @Gerda Arendt: It has been three weeks since your last comment here, have you been able to find a new source? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- If I had news, I'd post it. I left a question on the German editor's talk, -
no replyreply (without a ping) that he can't help. Can we treat what the theatre had about her as an offline source? It will be in programs. Or can we rely on her website? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC)- @Gerda Arendt: As offline sources can be used and can be accepted in good faith, the programs can be used too, although considering Whispyhistory's comments, a link to her website could also work as an additional/supplementary source. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:18, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- Whispyhistory, I made the external link a ref, hope that helps. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:51, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
