What needs to be fixed here to provide a NPOV? Without some indication, it's hard to fix it! - BRG 19:44, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

It was very bad before. I did a big overhaul in November and removed the NPOV tag, but someone reinsterted it. I think the article could use some general cleanup, small details more than anything else. After the big fixes I couldn't be bothered with the small stuff. If you think the article is good enough as is feel free to remove both tags. It's certainly a hell of alot better than it was. -R. fiend 21:06, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The "biggest hits" section is terribly bloated now. Can it be paired down to a handful of his bigest hits? Like the ones that he is synonymous with? I don't think any other artist has a discogarphy of this caliber attached to his article. -R. fiend 04:28, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A Mistake

On the section "Early Years" the following words are written: "They remained married until her death in August 1998 at age 84. Como was reportedly devastated by her passing." These pieces of information aren't really about his early years.

Corrected. Thanks, Ronbo76 05:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unfair and Unfortunate

To me it is unfair and unfortunate that an item I had posted to the Perry Como site, from Mad Magazine ("He'll look like Perry Como, but he'll be much nicer") was omitted while the ghastly entry from the Twilight Zone was retained--the horror episode with Billy Mumy and the "cornfield," especially given that episode's imperceptible appeal.
