{{Ping|Piotrus}} You are correct. He is better known outside Poland as "Adamo" but his actual name is "Adam." Some references list him as Adam [Adamo] Didur, which might be the best solution for the main text (while having his actual name "Adam Didur" for the article heading) because it gives his actual, Polish name, but also its artistic variation (in brackets) by which he is better known in the West. There are a couple of other discrepancies about Didur: 1. his birth date (1873 or 1874?) and 2. his first operatic debut: some sources say it was in Pinerolo, Italy, while others list his tour in Rio de Janeiro-- both took place in 1894, so the year is not an issue. I think Polish sources would give the most reliable answers here, because it's related to his early life before taking on the major career in Europe and US (esp. Met Opera).[[User:Wikiuserthea|Wikiuserthea]] ([[User talk:Wikiuserthea|talk]]) 11:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC) |

Merge with Adam Didur
This is a lovely example of how 2 different groups of editors can work on what turns out to be an article on the same subject, but come up with rather different outcomes.
There are a number of facts and photos that appear in one article but not the other, and vice-versa. That in itself is OK; it means they can all be added into the melting pot, for a more comprehensive final outcome.
But there are some that are quite contradictory, and they will need to be ironed out before the merge can be done. Apart from the name itself, Adamo vs. Adam, there are the following clashes:
Adamo Didur | Adam Didur |
---|---|
Born 24 December 1874 | Born 24 February 1874 |
Born in Sanok | Born in Wola Sękowa |
In 1894, he made his operatic debut in Rio de Janeiro | He began his opera career in 1894, when he debuted as Fader Guardiano in Verdi's La forza del destino in Pinerolo, Torino |
Didur made his Metropolitan Opera debut on November 14, 1908, singing Mephistopheles in Charles Gounod's Faust | In 1908 he debuted in the title role of Boito's Mefistofeles at the Manhattan Opera in New York, and later in the season opening of the Metropolitan in Verdi's Aida, |

I have started to source the article. I had merged to the one that didn't have any obvious errors, the other article had obvious ones based on the entries he has in encyclopedias. His birthday as self reported was in 1873, not 1874, but if we find alternatives in reliable sources we should list them in the footnotes and explain why one is stronger or weaker as a source. Check out an article I am researching Harry_Elionsky for a more difficult problem you can help with. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:26, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
