Miscellany

I removed the cleanup template because most of the obvious errors have been corrected (I just finished taking care of a lot of them; thanks, Kevin M Marshall). Of course, errors are still bound to exist. Enigmatzu 05:51, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I apologize for my making several small edits instead of one large one; I always tend to see more errors after I think I'm done. I'll be a bit more careful in the future. I've added the cleanup template because it definitely needs work (proofreading, clarification, etc.). I'll try to do a lot of this myself later today. Enigmatzu 06:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think it would be worth while to list Jeeves and By Jeeves seperately as they were substantially different shows both based on the same concept. Many other resources seem to list them seperately and although I could understand housing them in the same Wikipedia entry, for the purposes of this list of works, I think they could be seperated. Thoughts? Zephyrprince 21:16, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What would be interesting here would be a list of all of his pieces which sound suspiciously like classical pieces.

They sound like classical pieces because he plagarizes like mad, especially from Puccini. What a twit!

Umm, his surname is 'Lloyd-Webber', not 'Lloyd Webber'... Should we move the page? -- jdforrester

Most sources have "Lloyd Webber", including his own "Really Useful Group" website. But I've just put a redirect at Andrew Lloyd-Webber. -- Oliver P. 03:34 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)
He is "Andrew Lloyd Webber" (without a hyphen), but Lord Lloyd-Webber" (with one). The "Lloyd Webber" is his name: "Lloyd-Webber" part of his title. Loganberry 00:12, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Actually, his surname is only Webber, not Lloyd Webber. Julian Lloyd Webber states in an interview, that the "Lloyd" is the middle name [1]. --FordPrefect42 20:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the London, England. I'm glad someone pointed it out -- it seems I've been disambiguating wrongly for ages. Deb 21:20 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)

We'll forgive you. :) But even if the article was at London, England, I think it would still be better to write it as [[London, England|London]]. After all, we don't habitually append names of countries to names of towns and cities in the UK; that's an American thing, isn't it...? -- Oliver P. 14:58 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)

Bombay Dreams is a redirect here. It seems like it ought to be replaced by a stub. Is there a reason not to? Mote 01:34, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Not that I know of.Kevin M Marshall 02:26, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"Greatest composer"?

"Dubbed by many as this (the twentith) centuries greatest composer..." (sic.) Er, who said this? I find this very doubtful. Cal T 19:47, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. In fact, musicians almost unanimously agree that it was Igor Stavinsky who was the greatest composer of the 20th century.

changed one word

I changed one word from multiple "abominations" to multiple "showpieces."

Knighthood

Does anybody know what order of Knighthood Llloyd Webber is?

He's a Knight Bachelor. Proteus (Talk) 07:48, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
