The Schubert article, as well as several other large articles on composers and general ""classical"" music topics, is mostly copied from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.  If you look at the comment right before yours from Opus33, you'll see that we have been discussing how to deal with the EB's relentless, heavy, and pompous POV.  Feel free to edit them yourself  I for one just haven't gotten around to dealing with the Schubert article yet, but I'm trying to rewrite most of the 1911 articles that are still in Wikipedia, for the same reasons you mention.   20:56, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)"
