[edit] Don't Be A Prisoner Of Your Own Style

'Don't Be A Prisoner Of Your Own Style' was taken from a 12" vinyl made by Dimitri and Dennis. Dimitri at that time was already in charge of the dutch house scene for several years.

He may be quoted on this, but the line is not from himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.60.82.51 (talk) 10:12, March 10, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Labels

Since 1995, Armin has released many tracks on different labels with increasing success. His first big success was "Blue Fear" on Cyber Records. This 'Euro Trance blueprint' made it into the UK Chart. "Communication" was released on the same label, and had a huge impact on Ibiza, Spain in the summer of 1999. After being signed to , this track entered the UK Chart at #18 in 2000.

Comment: After being signed to who? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.225.107.41 (talk) 11:27, May 27, 2006 (UTC)

I looked through the history, and it looks like it should have said "AM:PM". However, it was linked to [[AM:PM]], which is a link to a PM in the Amharic language Wikipedia. The page it should have linked to was probably AM PM Records, so I have added that back. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 19:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

This article needs it bad: it was obviously written by fans who've never seen an Encyclopedia article before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.172.38 (talk) 00:33, April 17, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DJ Ranking

Is it appropriate that his DJ ranking is in the introduction? If this was a real encyclopedia, wouldn't it have that somewhere in the body. The introduction should deal with the main aspects of his style, career etc. M0rt 04:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of emphasis placed on these rankings among the audiences of these international club DJs. I think it is appropriate to mention the ranking in the introduction for perhaps a handful of these, and I'm not sure Armin van Buuren would be included. There are a number of entities that do these rankings, so for every year it would be quite possible to come up with 4 or five, perhaps even more, DJs who could testify to having been ranked #1 in the world. The DJ List which is cited here is new to me. If it were significant I would expect it to have its own article, which it doesn't. I believe there is a need for some discussion regarding our use of these ranking entities. __meco 06:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On the verge of copyvio

The sections "As a producer" and "As a performer" are to a large extent verbatim copies of a profile at InternetDJ.Com which, according to the dates on comments on that web site is more than 4 years old. This was entered into the article on January 1, 2005 by an IP user and has not been dealt with properly. I think some changes are needed to avoid the copyright issue with this text. __meco 07:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This article is terrible

This article is terribly written. This, for example, is scandalous: In October 2002, Van Buuren was voted Number 5 in the DJ Magazine 100 top DJs. The following year, he jumped up to the #3 spot, and held it strong for 3 years straight. His work left him on the #2 spot, just below Paul van Dyk in the 2006 polls.

After waiting all those years, Armin has reached Number 1 by winning the 2007 DJ Mag Top 100 86.0.207.212 01:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Again..... According to Van Buuren, "The fans and the public are the most important thing for a DJ."[2]

On April 12th of 2006, Van Buuren began a Canadian tour with a performance in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This was his first appearance in the centrally located Canadian city. Despite a Wednesday booking, the venue was filled to capacity with fans eager to see Van Buuren perform. Throughout his set Van Buuren could be seen signing autographs for his eager fans.

WTF??? This article is badly in need of rewriting.
