[edit] Stub

This article is a stub since I do not have the time to expand it and I felt it was important enough to have in wikipedia because the album he produced sold millions of copies and because he is the child of a famous producer. Andrew D White 15:46, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

That picture which was so generiously removed was taken from the DVD Hayley Westenra Live from New Zealand. I thought that I labled it but I guess that I didn't. Andrew D White

I see that the "US-business-bio-stub" stub is used. Isn't he UK person? (as his father)... warpozio 22:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I think so also... fixing that from whoever did it...Andrew D White 06:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance

I believe that this article now has "importance on the suject matter" and that the disclamer can be rmoved at the top of the page. Anyone else agree? Andrew D White 06:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Removed. --kingboyk 07:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

What was wrong with that picture. I believe that we are allowed to have that by US copyright laws. "Commenting" on something allows you to use a small portion of it. One frame from a several Hour DVD is not stealing. Here is the file to look at. The image has the copyright disclamer on it and everything... Why did you remove it?

Andrew D White 04:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Placing it in since the other one was unsourced... Andrew D White 23:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article was awful, still isn't great

This article was awful, basically a copyvio of his press bio. I've rewritten it to weed out unnecessary verbiage and reduce the hyperbole, but someone with more knowledge of his career should have a further go at it. Wasted Time R 00:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
