November 2014 edit

  Hello, I'm Binksternet. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

As stated on your talk page, I am a bit bemused by your revision of my recent edits to the Wikipedia page for Quaudiophiliac. The page currently states that Quaudiophiliac was Zappa's "first foray into surround sound formatted music." This is demonstrably untrue. As stated in my edit, Zappa released two albums in quadraphonic in the 1970s. I even provided an external reference as evidence, as well as a link to another Wikipedia page that also supports the statement (DiscReet Records, Zappa's quadraphonic record label). I fail to understand how a statement of fact supported by evidence can be considered "less than neutral". Neb-Maat-Re (talk) 03:31, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that! You are certainly correct that Zappa had already released two albums in quad format. The problem I had with your series of edits was twofold: you removed the Allmusic reference for no reason, and then you turned the existing text 180 degrees by changing "is" to "is not". The "is not" reference was only this simple listing, which is self-published and not strong enough to turn the meaning completely around.
However, I can see now that Zappa published a couple of quad albums, and there are better quality sources to draw from, for instance Goldmine Mag in 2010 and Sound & Vision magazine in 2004. As well, Neil Slaven talks about Zappa's quad stuff in Electric Don Quixote: The Definitive Story Of Frank Zappa. So I'll rework the lead paragraph to bring your contribution back in. I hope that removes some of the sting of my reversion. Binksternet (talk) 03:55, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
