Article name edit

SHould this page be called Michael Mantler?? Also, it needs wikifying, and according to his website he moved to the USA in 1964. Tim Fellows 10:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

yes, the page should be called Michael Mantler, don't know how to do it, though, nor how to wikify - somebody else?

he moved to USA in 1962 (to New York in 1964) ..... and that's exactly what it says on the website (see bio) Ernste Musik 13:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Moved it to Michael Mantler and yes, it was 1962. Boston is apparantly in the USA!!! Also wikified first two paragraphs. Should probably also be categorised - look at other jazz musicians for examples of categories. Tim Fellows 19:14, 24 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

In addition, the article needs to be cleaned up considerably — wikified, lots of capitals made lower case, etc. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


I am the author of the material included from my own website mantlermusic.com - the use of all material is expressly permitted (and I have no idea what a GFDL or a GFDL-compatible license is -- nor, unfortunately, the time to find out - any help if this is necessary?) -- Michael Mantler — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.202.182.247 (talkcontribs) 21:09, 16 June 2006‎

Is it really necessary (and in the spirit of Wikipedia?) to include seemingly irrelevant and certainly not specific to this article, very basic links to items such as place names: United States (!), Hamburg, Berlin, etc., or instruments: violin, keyboards, etc. Isn't that overdoing things a bit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.0.252.226 (talkcontribs) 21:44, 20 June 2006

--> instructions at the GFDL link are incomprehensible to me. As the above says, permission is granted. I really don't care. Maybe somebody can put a copy of this license into this mysterious GNU etc etc section? Thanks. Over and out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.211.29.56 (talkcontribs) 14:57, 26 June 2006‎
