- ... that although Aulis Sallinen (pictured) composed Kullervo for the opening of Helsinki's new national opera house, it was first performed in Los Angeles?

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook fact has an inline citation and the article is neutral. I was unable to assess whether there was any close paraphrasing because I could not access most of the sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:10, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
I am concerned that the phrasing of the synopsis is closely paraphrased from this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:02, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- I hope that the author can deal with it, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Gerda mentioned this at WikiProject Opera. There is some close paraphrasing, although not extensive. I'll have a go a re-writing the synopsis da capo tomorrow if that would help. Voceditenore (talk) 18:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Update I've rewritten the synopsis based on a different source from Music Finland. Here are the Dupication Detector reports comparing the current synopsis with the Frankfurt Opera synopsis and the Music Finland synopsis. Note that synopses will invariably show some slight overlap as there are limited ways of expressing a fixed sequence of events, characters, and their actions. I have also used one distinctive phrase in a clearly marked direct quote as, in my view, this is the best way of expressing Kimmo's delusion and is the description used by Sallinen himself. Hope this helps. Voceditenore (talk) 10:25, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, much improved! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Nikkimaria:, could you have a look and see if you think it's OK now? Best, Voceditenore (talk) 15:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Yes, that's much better, thank you. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:20, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
