[edit] This Article - follow up

To follow up on the comments below from khaosworks the hyperbolic praise has been cleaned up, the vast bulk of this article is content from an unfinished Halo Jones website project of mine bfenby so it at first didn't comply with the NPOV guidelines as it was written.

One person has made an abandoned stab at a section on The Stage Plays which would be a useful addition.

Some of the language is now more encyclopedic but it still needs clean up. A lot of the critical acclaim is quoted verbatim, which is not necessary. I'll take a stab trimming it down when I have the time. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOVing

As much as I love Halo Jones and agree to a large number of the sentiments expresed in this article, the way it is written is too hagiographic and not NPOV. The hyperbolic praise needs to be eliminated or cleaned up severely to conform to Wikipedia guidelines. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 11:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I've added a references section to the entry and quite a few of the sources can be moved to that. I added on requested reference and removed another review as it was just lifted from Amazon. (Emperor 03:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC))
