Talk:Ian Svenonius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First, I'd like to thank everyone for the great contributions to this page. I remember checking it less than a year ago and finding nothing. Very glad to see so many people lending a hand and thought. So many critics and reviews have dismissed Ian and the groups he's been involved with as an ironic and pretentious joke. Hopefully, Wikipedia can deliver what so many critics have fallen short of: an intelligent overview of each group's style, ideas and context.

However, I think there are a few things on this page that need to be cleaned up. Most importantly, much of the band info needs to be moved to the respective band page. (NOU, MAKE UP, CCC).

Ian has served as a "mouthpiece" for each band he's been involved with and each band has been based on distinct theories and, most importantly, a specific social context. Because of this, I think the ideas created from the context of each band should be moved to the respective band page.

I even think the discography info might need to be moved, but I'm not sure. I can't find another case where the page of a lead singer lists every release from the bands he/she sings for. I think the discography info breaks up the continuity of the page/bio. If anyone else has any thoughts please share them.

I'm hoping to make a few changes in the next week or so. If anyone has any suggestions or disagreements feel free to discuss, or email me and let me know. thanks__ The Deformed Child

I'd agree with all of this. Also I think it likely that passing people may think the article "unencyclopedic" in tone, though I don't agree myself I suspect there may be a problem later down the line. I wouldn't like to suggest toning down anything, I like it as it is, but something to think about at least. --Sachabrunel 11:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
