`  ==Analysis of citations== I checked the references you gave but I admit that I am extremely disappointed:  1. It is clear that the University hosted this performance, but not that you sang in it.  Also, when did you study with these teachers/coaches who you listed?  I deleted some of the obviously non-notable childhood teacher names.  More dates would be helpful.  2. You are not listed as a principal on the recording at the site you give.  This is worse than no cite at all.  Also, what about evidence of the other performances in the paragraph?  Is there none?  Again, newspaper reviews would be good.  Even if you could only find references for half of these performances, that would at least be some support for the paragraph.  3.  The Chicago Concert Artists site is just your management's site.  It is not independent, and it merely repeats the information that you give it.  You must give independent references showing that you did all this.  Or, just cull it down to the ones that you can find references for.  4.  I cannot find your name anywhere on the Lyric Opera of Chicago website, except here: http://www.lyricopera.org/about/starsOfTheSeason.asp  But this does not tell us what roles you are singing this season.  Please give specific sites and tell us where to find the relevant information.  Also, please give the date of each role you played.  5.  OK, finally, a review of a performance.  Why do we need to cite both Variety and the less-known ``lasplash.com``?  It does not review your performance, anyway, but either one would verify that you appeared in the cast.  I put the first reference first, because it is the most prestigious.  6. The lightoperaworks.info site is obviously not independent; it is your own attempt to reconstruct history, because the company's official site has apparently deleted all mention of your name, even in their history sections.  You will only convince Wikipedians that this article is largely a sham if you cite this website.  7. (Sigh) Again, this reference: http://www.portalwisconsin.org/dauphin.cfm  just shows that the production and  broadcast took place, not that you had any connection with it, whatsoever.  8.  ? There's no Roosevelt reference here.  9.  The faculty profile at Northwestern reference is helpful to show that you are (were?) a Lecturer there, but not for supporting the information about your career which, again, just copies the information that you gave them.  Also, how does it indicate what dates you lectured there?  The other citations:  1. Doesn't mention you.  2. Yay!  The Street scene review mentions you.  I moved the reference up into the article.  3. Candide, 1994:  Here is another  verifiable reference, and you did not mention the role in the article.  I added it.  4.  I moved the Traviata review up into the article.  5. This was an empty page at the NY Times.  What is the link supposed to be?  Summary: Most of these references were not verifiable and independent.  This article is still largely unreferenced and your conflict of interest is obviously hampering you in deciding what to cite and what information in the article is notable.  But, I appreciate your efforts.  I think you could be a very useful contributor to Wikipedia, and I hope that this experience does not discourage you.  When people start out on wikipedia writing about themselves, it is a difficult situation.  Best regards,   `
