[edit] Improving the article

Hello Folks, I am attempting to flesh out the woefully under-represented Ultraworld stub. It was a seminal ambient-house, breakthrough commercial electronic album and a formative influence on my musical character. The effort is not all disserving, its also my final-project component for Wayne Marshalls excellent Harvard Extension School musie145 class --Ezi 21:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

More content and a suggested structure. I've remarked out unpopulated topics to make for a more pleasing presentation currrently. You can edit the page to see the suggested topics. I also built the US track Listings and Personnel sections. I still need to cross-reference these new areas. --Ezi 00:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, fleshed out more of the structure and started on the wiki links. I'm not using an academic citation style in favour of wikipedia links. I hope its received well. I've covered a lot of the history and logistics behind the album. I now hope to start on the critical/interpretative/contextual content. --Ezi 22:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

You really must cite your sources, because if the article is to improve at a later date to Featured Article status they are mandatory. If you don't do it now, you'll be setting yourself or future editors up for a headache later on when they try to find out what sources you have used. Please have a look at The KLF (and indeed that other ambient classic Chill Out) to see how it can be done. Great work though and good to see this important album getting the attention it deserves. --kingboyk 17:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Will do. I intend to move the cursory citations in a separate section to the Featured Article footnote style. --Ezi 20:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm done, hopefully this is enough for class. I'll be back to provide more thought on the themes and structure but i've exhausted my current train of thought. --Ezi 03:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Someone removed the stub designation. I like it! --Ezi 15:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, great work. This is looking like a very serious article now. --kingboyk 18:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Fixed some typos and minor mistakes (Discreet Music, not Useful Music), and fleshed it out a little. I also removed a reference to an Orb track that doesn't seem to exist, and tried to stress the point that the only permanent member of The Orb is really Alex Paterson. --Kaini 03:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contributors

This section should distinguish between musicians who played on the album (important) and songwriters (not so important, because in some cases multiple authors are credited for a small sample). Currently the list provides no context or understanding whatsoever. --kingboyk 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
