Beijing opera[edit]

I have been working on this article for a while, adding refs and such. I now want to receive comments and advice to know where to go from here. Specifically:

The history section - Good sectioning?
Should information about women in Beijing opera go under history, under Dan (the female Beijing opera role), or in its own section?
I can't find good references for the aesthetics of Beijing opera. What should be done with that section?
Should I list specific plays in the repertoire section?
Anything else you want to comment on?

Thank you in advance for your comments.--Danaman5 05:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion:

Sectioning in History is good. I don't think rephrasing the title is necessary though.
Woman in Beijing Opera is probably not significant enough for its own section, and fits well enough under Dan.
The current references for aesthetics section seems fine for me. Are you going to expand the section?
For specific plays, I would recommend starting a separate new list, and just put a see also link in the section.

Other than those, all I have to say for now is that several sections in "Performers and roles" and "Aesthetic aims and principles" will have to be expanded. Total of two pictures for the entire article might be a bit few. Good work, good article! AQu01rius (User  Talk) 04:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. What do you mean by "rephrasing the title" in regards to the history section? The problem with the aesthetics section is not that the references that are there are bad, its that I can't seem to find anything good beyond that, so expanding the section will be difficult. I'll keep at it though.--Danaman5 04:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
