Actually, my comments in my latest edit notwithstanding, there ''isn't'' one clear language variant present in the article. We have "capitalise" and "organize", and "honor" together with "colour". We should decide (preferably amiably <tt>:D</tt>) which variant to use, and stick with it. I'd argue for en-gb (naturally <tt>:D</tt>) partly because I think there's slightly more of it in the prose at the moment than en-us, but mainly because there are more en-gb productions (or productions in countries where en-gb is spoken rather than en-us) open or opening than there are en-us (remembering that the North American productions, visiting both the USA and Canada, can't really count for one or the other). I know the difference it utterly inconsequential when the production is spoken (and let's be honest, the choice of one or the other is itself pretty trivial), but a decision has to be made, and to ''not'' be made on the basis of how many editors happen to speak whichever variant.

== Liberetto link legality ==

I noticed the link to the musical's entire liberetto. This is on a russian website, and doesn't look like it is legal. Should this be removed?

Immediately, but I'm scared to click it. I might get arrested. I'm kidding. I'll remove it. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.247.244.120|99.247.244.120]] ([[User talk:99.247.244.120|talk]]) 00:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Was Fiyero changed back? ==

I've never seen the musical, so I was wondering if Fiyero was changed back from being a scarecrow or not? Can someone tell me because the plot overview's wording left me confused, as it didnt say whether he was changed back or not. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.81.64.72|66.81.64.72]] ([[User talk:66.81.64.72|talk]]) 01:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Images

I'm worried that we're using a few too many fair use images of performances here. Can someone explain why we need so many? Phil Sandifer (talk) 14:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Elphaba's Name

Elphaba's name is listed as elphaba thropp, but she isnt called that in the show. i keep changing it but people keep changing it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.22.99 (talk) 01:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Spelling

Actually, my comments in my latest edit notwithstanding, there isn't one clear language variant present in the article. We have "capitalise" and "organize", and "honor" together with "colour". We should decide (preferably amiably :D) which variant to use, and stick with it. I'd argue for en-gb (naturally :D) partly because I think there's slightly more of it in the prose at the moment than en-us, but mainly because there are more en-gb productions (or productions in countries where en-gb is spoken rather than en-us) open or opening than there are en-us (remembering that the North American productions, visiting both the USA and Canada, can't really count for one or the other). I know the difference it utterly inconsequential when the production is spoken (and let's be honest, the choice of one or the other is itself pretty trivial), but a decision has to be made, and to not be made on the basis of how many editors happen to speak whichever variant.

Was Fiyero changed back?

I've never seen the musical, so I was wondering if Fiyero was changed back from being a scarecrow or not? Can someone tell me because the plot overview's wording left me confused, as it didnt say whether he was changed back or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.81.64.72 (talk) 01:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
