Another input request
Comments appreciated at Talk:List of plays adapted into feature films#Need for article split.4meter4 (talk) 18:56, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
I noticed that the article for Laird Mackintosh, who played the title role for the last performance of The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, needs some improvement. Any help with sourcing would be appreciated. Best, Thriley (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Members may wish to comment here as some musical theatre actors have been the recipient of this award. The outcome could also impact other categories on awards in the arts by setting a precedent.

Tony Award for Best Musical
Tony Award for Best Musical - This page has become unreadable with listing all the producers, especially more recent entries which have long lists of producers. Any thoughts on removing this? It is all linked in on the official Tony Website. Mark E (talk) 11:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- @ Mark E The benefit of having lists on wikipedia is having lists with wiki-links which allow you to go to encyclopedia entries on people, places, things, etc within those lists. An external list doesn't interlink with wikipedia's content so I would not support the removal of this list. Further, our project doesn't have the authority to make this kind of decision unilaterally. Removing/deleting content falls under the purview of WP:AFD. The list is a bit bulky with the producers listed towards the bottom, but that is not a valid reason to remove the list which clearly passes WP:LISTN and would easily survive an AFD. Perhaps some sort of reformatting would help organize the content more easily and solve the complaint about bulky reading? Best.4meter4 (talk) 11:45, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm in no way suggesting the removal of the article. Merely, removing the producers and reverting back to Book/Music/Lyrics as seem in this earlier revision - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tony_Award_for_Best_Musical&oldid=1159716664 Mark E (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for clarifying. I have no strong opinion either way. Technically, the producers are the nominees. They are the ones who receive the award. That said, the average reader isn't likely to be looking for the producers. We could simply limit the producer names to those with articles and make it clear in our list description that we are intentionally not including all producers, only those with wikipedia pages.4meter4 (talk) 14:14, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- It is out of control. If you bring up a Talk page proposal at that article, mention it here, and we can all comment there and try to reach a consensus. 4meter's suggestion of only listing blue-linked producers and then citing the link to the Tony Awards page with the full list might be a good compromise. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:46, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Even listing only blue linked producers would have meant for an extremely bloated list. I have reverted to previous format. I'm looking at this from the view of a general reader (ie, me) who will want to be able to easily access the information without having to scroll over sometimes 30+ producers per production.

Great new source (at least new to me)
Hi all. I just discovered a treasure trove of material at the Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals (1760–1966); a website dedicated to making historic music journals available to the public. These are particularly useful for this project for reviews of early musicals and operettas. If you have interests in classical music, opera, etc. it is an even better resource for those content areas. Best.4meter4 (talk) 12:08, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
