[edit] Elwood

Hello! 1.You have put a tag that not so many pages link to this article. Please, explain what should I do to fix that. 2.You have put a tag that the neutrality of the article is disputed. Please, explain why do you think so and what phrases in your opinion give a shade of that.

1. You should find other articles where Elwood would be mentioned. If he's not mentioned in any other Wikipedia articles (and there's nowhere you could add him yourself), that's a sign that perhaps he's not notable enough to have his own article.
2. "is a famous demoscene musician", "is considered to be one of the most influential musicians", "each of which was a huge success", "original melodies", "profound programming", and "very rich arrangements", are all opinions if you have no facts to back them up. You shouldn't have to say someone is famous on Wikipedia. There should be facts and media references in the article to imply that. See WP:NPOV, WP:BIO, and WP:MUSIC. --Vossanova ^o< 15:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Very well, I see your point.

1. Elwood is mentioned in the demoscene artists. The fact that he is not mentioned in many wikipedia articles is because generally the information on the demoscene is not very full yet. I will see if I can add the reference to Elwood myself to demoscene related articles. (you can be sure that I am not exaggerating, Elwood was really one of the most influential figures of the demoscene and I was amazed noone did an article on him before)
2. Yes, I see, I will remove the opinion words and try to make the article style more neutral. However, in many other wikipedia articles I saw a musician being described as famous. Sometimes that's just plain fact, you know.

If you do have a suggestion on how to remake the text, please do. I've tried several variants, but they didn't work out. Louigi Verona 09:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the point-of-view/"peacock" terms. It's shorter but it's at least neutral now. If you find reviews of his music anywhere from well-established websites or magazines, you're welcome to reference them in the article. --Vossanova ^o< 14:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Just make sure they come from reliable sources. The comments on songs at Nectarine may not cut it. --Vossanova ^o< 16:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
