Neutrality? edit

This article feels too POV for WP. Thoughts on rewriting it? --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 13:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I only saw your note because I was coming to check the talk page before flagging it. I chose the non-encyclopedic tone tag rather than the non-neutral POV flag, but either way, yes, needs some less flowery language. TaigaBridge 10:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, there should be a more neutral, dispassionate tone. I've edited it accordingly JGHowes 16:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

And I have done some more. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 19:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

What happened to the photo? edit

Why was the photo removed?Dogru144 01:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Don't know about the old one, but I've put up a new one, from a CD cover that should be OK JGHowes 18:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:EPowerBiggs.gif edit

 

Image:EPowerBiggs.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Joplin album edit

I note that the discography entry gives a question mark for the 'Plays Scott Joplin on the Pedal Harpsichord' album. I've just bought a copy of the original vinyl LP in a charity shop, and its catalogue number is CBS Classics (red label) 61478; British pressing in 1974. From the Columbia references in the other discography entries, I presume it's a CD rerelease number that should replace that question mark, hence the reason I haven't edited the article.

Mr. Biggs' Credentials edit

No question about him being a competent organist but what degrees did Biggs have and from what schools? Musicwriter (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

degrees are usually only important to those without proven talent, but the article does (at least now) mention his studying at the Royal Academy of Music. Ken (talk) 15:28, 19 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
