Hello, Ssilvers, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am CTSWyneken. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. --CTSWyneken 19:30, 22 May 2006 (UTC)(talk)[reply]

Hot Mikado

Thanks for your attention to this article - it helps to have another perspective, particularly one from the musicals / G&S point of view, and not the "HEY MY HIGH SCHOOL DID THAT!" point of view. Unfortunatly, I don't know much more about the differences between the 1939 "The Hot Mikado" and the 1995 "Hot Mikado", but I'm hoping my response on the talk page for the article will alleviate some tension as far as the high school productions go. Thanks again. QBKooky 18:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I think it looks great. Keep up the good work. —Khoikhoi 01:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Piano Bar

Hi, Ssilvers, I am Ron Kert from Tampa, FL (wikipedia user-name "ronkert"). Thank You for your additions to the "Piano Bar" article that I submitted. I also am an amateur singer, and a "piano bar junkie". Although I enjoyed "La Boheme" and love most types of music, I sing songs from these genres: "Standards" from the 1920's to 1950's, 50's and 60's Rock'n'Roll, some 70's and 80's light Rock and Rock ballads, Blues, a couple of show tunes, a few Country tunes. I'm currently on one of my bi-annual out-of-state "piano bar" vacations in the DC / northern Virginia area.

Savoyards

Good work. Several of these performers are familiar to me because of the film Topsy Turvy, wihch I've seen at least half a dozen times. They needed to be included in Wikipedia. Charivari 02:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! You took this a lot farther than I ever imagined it would go. Marc Shepherd 19:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Golden Legend

Saw your additions and copy edits. Thanks. I had considered adding specific information about the Hyperion release (it is the first full length recording), but wasn't sure it was appropriate. I'll probably be doing some similar work on other compositions by Sullivan. Shsilver 19:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mountebanks; Major article template, etc.

Thanks for the Song list! Added in character names whilst I was at it. Also, I've done a tweak to Template:Gilbert and Sullivan - That look good to you? Adam Cuerden 23:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm Sargent

It turned out very well. I didn't know about that 1936 interview. Did you ever hear the old joke about Sargent? Supposedly he gets into a cab. The driver says, "Where to?" Sargent says, "It doesn't matter; they want me everywhere." Marc Shepherd 13:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mazeppa

Thanks for being helpful. My English music books used Mazeppa, Maria, Andrei, Kochubey (Kochubey is not a Russian, but Tatar name). (meladina 16:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Opera

Thanks for slicing up some of my more grotesquely long sentences the other day. I'm on a bit of drive to get the article up to GA standard, so thanks for all the help. Cheers, Moreschi 16:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kashchey the Immortal (opera)

Thanks for the help; I've just finished off the copy-editing. Cheers, Moreschi 19:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Early British Musicals

Thanks for the messages. I had only the briefest look after your first, but it all looked like great stuff.... --GuillaumeTell 07:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Savoy opera (and curtain raisers)

Nice work! Adam Cuerden talk 10:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

G&S

Thanks very much - I'm actually planning on writing up a few articles about some of the lesser Savoyards, as well as a couple of early G&S creators that really ought to be here (Frank Thornton, Fred Sullivan, and Selina Dolaro spring to mind). --AlbertHerring 17:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the kind words.... I'm very tempted to help out at Opera. In fact my next plan was to rework the French Opera section, which has been chopped off that article. Cheers. --Folantin 08:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thank you very much for all the info you added to The Magic Show! - Brian Kendig 13:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on getting the article featured. Your hard work was impressive. Best, Moreschi 12:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Awarded to Ssilvers for his work on actors and actresses, minor operas, and everything else related to Gilbert and Sullivan and Victorian Theatre. You have single-handedly filled in many huge gaps in Wikipedia coverage. Adam Cuerden talk 13:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
... and that goes from me too, his recent work on filling in the gaps and eliminating stubs in London theatre is only matched by his patience with my lack of knowledge and his ability to collaborate. Kbthompson 18:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boyd Neel

Thank you for your kind words (and the corroborative detail).... It's a pleasure doing business with you, sir! - Tim riley 21:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Camelot thanks you!

Wow, Ssilvers, you are awesome! Thanks so much for such a quick fix on the Camelot article! I will add to it as I can. :) Thanks! Estreya 18:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your modest but spot-on improvements to the initial entry on the Royal Gallery of Illustration!! Rapotter 03:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Eyen

Thank you for cleaning up my mess! I'm speechless - it's so well done! --Eric Eyen 02:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems there was some confusion between actress Loretta Devine and actor Divine (aka Glen Milstead) in this article. Easy to confuse, but I think I cleared it up. Surprised I didn't notice it earlier! Thanks for keeping an eye out for my uncle's article. Best Wishes! --Eric Eyen —Preceding comment was added at 10:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Toye & Norris

Thank you once more for giving my text a wash and brush up. I feel rather guilty: I have all the fun and you do all the work. Well, great will be your reward in heaven. - Tim riley 22:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This corner of the Wikipedia site owes such a lot to you. - Tim riley 23:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Globe and Royalty Theatres

Gracious me! How much you have improved the presentation. As suggested, I have run up a piece on the Globe, which would benefit from the Ssilvers treatment, had you but world enough and time. Tim riley 10:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

St James's Theatre

Congratulations on your work on this article. The images make a big difference as well as noting the stars and the plays. David Lauder 08:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Sullivan

Nice rewrite! I was hoping that someone would: Previously it seemed to be saying that Sullivan went to Leipzig twice which looked dubious :-D  uriel8  (talk) 14:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haymarket

Many thanks for making the Haymarket piece look good. ...Tim Riley 10:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bogged down

I didn't thank you for the addn info on the Empire. I added a testimonial to your barnstar! But I don't know how these things get decided on, so left it as barnstar + bar. The London theatres have been a joy... Kbthompson 18:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Window

Spot on, I'd say.... This was quite a serious gap in the coverage of Sullivan - now, happily, filled. Tim Riley 08:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Court

Congratulations on your reworking of the Royal Court Theatre. David Lauder 08:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm Sargent

You are very kind to take so much trouble, bless you! I'll look into the picture business tomorrow. Tim Riley 19:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You asked me to take a look at the work that had been done on this, while I was away. I did look when I came back and thought it excellent - then forgot to let you know! (I probably remember more when I make negative comments). Kbthompson 09:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ssilvers!

Thanks so much for your kind note and for your careful reviews and help at Encyclopædia Britannica; I think it's an article we all can be proud of.... I'm grateful that you corrected that comma error that had been peppering my writing for ages. Looking forward to working with you again in Wikipedia, Willow 10:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the nice welcoming note! I was going to see an amateur production of Princess Ida at MIT last night, so I wanted to learn a little about it. The article was very helpful! I love G&S, but I probably will just do little typo edits here and there as I find them. Thanks again! Purkowitz 14:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

St Georges

Belated thanks for that, it almost looks like an article now. I took the liberty of adding a gee-gaw to your front page (a case of I saw this and thought of you, I have to wait another month!). I saw the recent comments at G&S, tough crowd. I think that's a bit harsh for GA, but something that definitely needs fixing for FA. Kbthompson 15:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great article. I added two photos (with fair use rationales, so there will be no problem)...egde 10:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Malfitano

Thanks for your effort and added info with Malfitano. She is a great singer and it was sad to notice that the existing writings about her were too brief. It would be great if we could get some photos of her. I will write to her agent, hopefully they could provide us with photos to be published (with written permission, of course). - Jay 02:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Buddy Holly

Nice work on the Buddy Holly article yesterday/today. Concerning the expanded synopisis version that was severely edited a while back - IT WAS MUCH BETTER. Sorry it kept getting cut. It should simply have been re-written to avoid verbatim website quotes. It should not of been deleted, though. I will support you in defending against any attempts to ruin this article again.

Your work on Michael Mayer (director)

WOW. Thank you! I knew that once people realized this major theatrical figure had no article at all, it'd get fixed quickly, but the early version was so disorganized, and it's lovely to see what you've done with it overnight.

Yet again a fantastic contribution. Many thanks. Regarding David Russell Hulme, I have a photo somewhere that I took when I sang with him in the 1970s. If I can find it I'll scan it and upload it to the article. Jack1956 21:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Terence Rees and Scott Fishe

I love this...I write 4 sentences on an article Terence Rees‎ and go to bed and as if by magic the next day it's finished! And it's another brilliant article, much better than I could have created. Many thanks. I'll have a look at those articles you mentioned! Jack1956 17:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. You have done another great job by polishing up the Scott Fishe article to such a good standard. I wish I had your expertise. Jack1956 23:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. How did you find out that Rees had donated all his Sullivan mss to the British Library? What a fascinating piece of info. I'm going there during the week and I'm going to order them up! I've spent many happy hours looking at Gilbert's plot books there. Jack1956 (talk) 18:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Gilbert and Sullivan Barnstar
For your significant contribution to the works and performers of Gilbert and Sullivan I award you this specially made barnstar. Your knowledge of and enthusiasm for the subject are amazing. . Jack1956 (talk) 1 April 2008 (UTC)
The star is totally deserved. I have a programme for the 1975 performance of 'Utopia' somewhere, and will check it out, but presume that, as he is on the recording he must have been in the performance. GD I am less sure about. Jack1956 (talk) 14:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Might you consider....

I'm wondering if you might consider altering your edit summaries somewhat. I've noticed you delete the automatic part with the section header -- something I used to do, as well. However, I realized that it creates a link to the section in question in the summary, which appears in the Watchlist. You can just click that arrow, and it brings you right to what is being talked about, rather than loading the page and having to scroll to find it. Since we (and several other editors) usually are taking part in the same conversation, I think it might make a couple of lives just that much easier.... If not, if you hate those automatic sections, not a big deal. Thanks for the consideration! —  MusicMaker5376 15:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For example, down in the edit summary right now is the text /* Might you consider.... */. When you save the summary, that creates a linked arrow that, when clicked, will bring you directly to this section. Sort of like having [[User talk:Ssilvers#Might you consider....|-> Might you consider....]]. If you look at your watchlist (and, I would assume, places like Recent Changes and whatnot), you can see the linked arrow before (some) of the edit summaries, and, when you click it, it brings you directly to the heading in question. You don't really have to do anything but leave the text that's already in the summary box, then add your summary after it. It really is a nice little feature of the software. Try it in your watchlist. —  MusicMaker5376 15:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize it until a couple of months ago, myself. It might be a new thing, and I figured you probably weren't aware of it. They make these minor changes in the software without any fanfare and just expect people to catch on. It is particularly helpful, though, especially when dealing with lengthy talk pages. Thanks! —  MusicMaker5376 18:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
