[edit] Biased and poorly written

I'm wondering why someone nominated this page as biased. Please let me know what could be interpreted this way. Thank you :)

This article sounds like you're trying to promote him and get people to buy his stuff. 24.86.192.216 06:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC) The above was posted by me. Wasn't logged in. Cao 06:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

It is also extremely poorly written.

I might have just accidentally reverted a legitimate edit. If so, my apologies, and feel free to correct it. Michael White^T·C 00:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral

• "Ron's debut solo album epitomizes instrumental guitar music for the 90's. groundbreaking compositions and unbeleivable solos that will impress all skeptics. Expect genius; you won't be disappointed." Bahaha thats like the least neutral thing ever. Any reason why the tag has been taken away? This is one of the worst music pages I've ever read. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.105.169.118 (talk • contribs). 15:06, 3 July 2006

• There are still numerous POV issues with this page. Some of the most glaring examples:

• "...his impeccably phrased and highly original and technical guitar work."
• "With groundbreaking compositions and unbelievable solos..."
• "Thal's vocals and instrumental work push the envelope of contemporary music."
• "...that demonstrates his true personality coupled with amazing guitar work."

The article is also very poorly sourced: it provides absolutely no third-party references as specifically required by WP:Verifiability. In short, it needs a great deal of editing help. Do not remove the cleanup template at the top of the article until editors have had time to address these significant issues. --Satori Son 17:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No significant issues to start world war 3

• • As far as one of the 2000+ September articles requiring clean-up, this is an easy one. Good structure and 90% info. Obviously it could be rewritten in a much better way as 99% of the stuff requiring attention.
  • With reference to a musical article written by a fan (as 99% of them) the citations are over the board but not over the wall. They remain in a domain of qualititative appreciation.
  • With reference to all rock bands and solo artists, I measure the article quality to the band/person renown. This article lies in the middle on both counts.
• Finally, i was not convinced to replace my Stevie Ray V collection by this geezer.
  • Conclusions: got rid of all tags.
