Album art in lead

In order to keep the album cover art (Virtuoso Arias by W. A. Mozart, EMI 1C 063-29 082) in the lead section, the Wikipedia policy governing fair-use of copyrighted material requires commentary specific to the image to appear in the same section. Although this may not be totally desirable stylistically speaking, it is necessary to keep the image in this location. If the image is moved, the commentary should stay with it. --Robert.Allen (talk) 22:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of neutrality

when you listen to an aria sung by Moser, it's difficult to listen to the same aria by other, less dramatically exciting sopranos, no matter how beautiful the voice

Oh, come on ! POV at its purest. RCS 13:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-tagged

I have just multi-tagged this article for problems. They are numerous but the two most serious are that this is a BLP with just one reference and it is extremely POV. I note that there is a claim that permission has been granted to use the material - please could someone provide me with a proof of that permission?

Frankly. I think it needs a re-write pretty much from scratch, sorry. - Sitush (talk) 18:31, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crikey! I think Moser is the best thing since sliced bread, but this is just gush. It's ridiculous. Somebody needs to do better or take it down. - Morag Kerr (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since yours is the only reply I've had to my comment, and you say that you admire her abilities, I'm cutting it right back. Thanks for your comment (I'm not an admirer cos I can't hear a thing!) - Sitush (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Moser is wonderful. I came to read the page because I'm a fan. The praise is actually justified, but for the NPOV problems and general OTT nature of the verbiage. I've never heard a voice quite like it. But the article reads like schoolgirl-crush fan mail. Saying much the same thing in about a quarter of the number of words and in measured, objective tones would be fine. And referenced, of course. Morag Kerr (talk) 10:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not have a go? Be bold. And if you can source any additional references then it would really help because they are a bit scarce at the moment. I was wondering about turning the list into a table also because I think that it might read better, especially if some of the gaps could be filled in (eg: with recordings: what label, what year etc) - Sitush (talk) 10:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I'm not the right editor for this. I admire Moser's voice enormously, but I know approximately bugger-all about her career. I actually thought I might learn something from this page, but unfortunately not. Hopefully someone with both some knowledge and a level head can remedy the situation. Morag Kerr (talk) 16:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only approximately? <g> No probs. - Sitush (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While you're doubting that Moser isn't one of the best sopranos of the 20th century, why don't you put her name back in the list of German Sopranos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikepiehl (talk • contribs) 00:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
