Graham Parker

Hiya. You added a {{POV}} template to the Graham Parker article in September, but didn't mention why on the talk page. Was there a reason why you added it? Fmph (talk) 09:00, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

A lot of the article seems to be written like a magazine article or something. It's not egregious but could stand fixing. Phrases like "incendiary live performers", "raw onstage style", "passionate vocals", "began to change his songwriting style, reflecting his desire to break into the American market", "in a creative holding pattern", "another snapping r&b cover", "marginally less intense", "top backing bands", and "uncompromising attitude" smack of opinion rather than fact. Add in that it's all unsourced and occasionally sprinkled with weasel words and apparent original research and you have an article that really needs some attention. It's a well-written article, just not for an encyclopedia. TheJazzDalek (talk) 11:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
