Setting[edit]

We have not been putting in a separate section for setting, but rather either 1. Just weaving it into the Synopsis, or 2. in some cases, putting the settings at the beginning of the Synopsis. I think that makes sense, because the Synopsis needs to be understood together with the settings, and by themselves, the Settings don't give much info.

Move[edit]

This probably needs to be moved since there is an earlier opera with the same title by Philidor for which I have just created an article (Tom Jones (Philidor)). I'd suggest shifting this to Tom Jones (Edward German) then making Tom Jones (opera) a disambiguation page. --Folantin 10:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can if you like. I don't really think it makes any differerence. I just added a notice on the top of each opera referring to the other, which I think is good enough for now. I think it's more important to add some detail on the Philidor work than to worry too much about disambiguation, if there are only two operas based on this work.

Tom Jones (German) → Tom Jones (Edward German) – Please refer to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera/Archive 117#Regarding the naming of Tom Jones (Philidor) and Tom Jones (German), and a concern regarding WP:NCOPERA for information on why the "Edward German" disambiguator came to be over the "German" disambiguator. Without the first name included in the disambiguator, the title makes it seem as though this article could be about an opera originating from Germany. Also, Coronation March (Edward German) exists, and in this example, the composer's entire name is in the disambiguator. Steel1943 (talk) 21:08, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per fundamental WP:CRITERIA' not knowing any better I would have guessed that was a German-language version of the Philidor opera, most readers would probably assume it was a person. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per the linked discussion. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:15, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support this is not about a person named "Tom Jones" from Germany or of German ethnicity -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 05:38, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support the current title is too confusing. It could imply an opera from Germany or even a person named Tom Jones who is German.--67.68.22.129 (talk) 22:52, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. "German" is not a clear disambiguator. That many of the other entries it's being disambiguated from aren't related to music, and so the title wouldn't necessarily bring Edward German to mind even for those who had heard of him, if not necessarily the names of his works, only increases the possibility of confusion.
