Princess Ida is a comic opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It was Gilbert and Sullivan's eighth operatic collaboration, preceding The Mikado. Princess Ida opened at the Savoy Theatre in 1884 and ran for 246 performances. Based on the narrative poem The Princess by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the opera concerns a princess who founds a women's university and teaches that women are superior to men and should rule in their stead. Prince Hilarion, to whom she had been betrothed, sneaks into the university, and a war erupts between the two sexes. Princess Ida satirizes feminism, women's education and Darwinian evolution, controversial topics in conservative Victorian England. Princess Ida was only a modest success, and after its initial run, it was not revived in London until 1919. Nevertheless, the piece is performed regularly today by both professional and amateur companies. This watercolour-and-pencil-on-card image by C. Wilhelm shows his costume design for the characters of Arac, Guron and Scynthius in the 1884 production of Princess Ida.

Been here a while now, on and off. I mostly enjoy dealing with the technical aspects of Wikipedia, though I will of course add content when it is within my field of expertise. But mostly it's about improving the users experience, be it through disambiguation, visual improvements of drawings, or vandalism-cleanup.

Pages in need of attention

[edit]

During my work on disambiguation or during general wikipedia browsing, I have found these pages that I want to give some attention. They'll be listed here so I don't forget about them before I have a large enough continous free time-block to do something about them. Once a page has been done, it will be removed from the list (ideally it should stay empty):

Semi-adopted disambiguation pages

Having cleaned these out, I might as well visit them every now and then to nip new build-ups in the bud:
