Talk:Christoph Eschenbach

message: There is a disproportional amount of negative and damaging material in this entry. It seems like Wikipedia is being used to further some vicious fanatic's revenge. Generally, an encyclopedia entry should report the honors and praise which have earned the subject his fame. If there is controversy that should be mentioned, but criticisms should not be given equal time -- he's not important by virtue of his mistakes, after all.

replies: text:  I've just listened to his 2017 Schonbrunn Vienna Philharmonica car-crash. The audience started leaving early. OK, there can be a tendency towards kitsch or schmaltz, this tended towards dreck und weh. He reduced the orchestra to a quivering mass of uncertainty, where the essence of dance tunes, a rock-steady beat, was replaced with a form of creep up on the note and surprise it. Wait-wait-wait-er, now, sort of, OK, now where we? Too much Stockhausen aleatory music, in a word.

Talk:Peter Nero

message: I the paragraph about consumer electronics adopts a tome of breathless adoration that seems out of place in reference material. Current content reads 
::"Nero has long been a devotee and advocate of consumer electronics. His expertise has led him to be dubbed a "technocrat" by leaders of the industry. While computers and other electronics have made him "the Gadget King," he still makes music on the traditional Steinway concert grand piano." 
I would propose to replace this with 
::"Although Nero has long been a devotee and advocate of consumer electronics, he still makes music on the traditional Steinway concert grand piano." 
This is still unsourced and unsubstantiated but it has the benefit of being probably true. My problems with the current:
:- It seems unlikely that Peter Nero would be considered a technocrat. Perhaps he is an accomplished hobbyist but a technocrat must actually govern something technological and I have no reason to believe that this has happened
:- Not only are the "leaders of industry" not cited they are not even identified. Are we talking about leaders of the music industry or the technology industry?
:- Peter Nero may in fact be called "the gadget king" by his cousins or the people who live on his block but it's not an appelation outside of his own circle. To hold that title a person would have to write a widely-read blog or series of articles, and have gadget-builders lining up to get his endorsement. I don't see any of that happening.
I'll check back in six weeks or so (about 4 Sept 2012) to see if there's any objection, otherwise I'll make this change. DuardF (talk) 16:23, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Pat Croce

message: I had to research this, but apparently "Pat" is legitimately a diminutive of "Pasquale". However, it is by no means common, hence my need to research it.
The examples I found online confirmed that nobody is expected to know this. For example, Pat DiCicco puts it in quotes, as does this obituary. Other examples use parentheses. 24.47.152.65 (talk) 01:23, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: MOS:NICKNAME refers to Hypocorism#English, and Pasquale is not listed there. In my parts, it's not a common name either (not to say it might not be in others), and I would have never guessed Pat came from it.—Bagumba (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  In my personal experience it's very common, and it's frequent all over Wikipedia, to wit:"pat" and "pasquale" gives scores of WP biography articles of individuals named Pasquale nicknamed Pat.

message: I've gone through and removed much of the "Past Wing Bowls" section because almost all of it was content about living individuals which was not supported by citations to reliable sources. In addtion, much of it was original reasearch and not written in an encyclopedic tone. There's nothihg wrong recapping an individual event, but round-by-round commentary is not needed and any claims which such as "so and so cheated", "so and so retired", "so and so won such and such prize" should only be inluded when it can be supported by an independent source.

Talk:The Thin Ice

message: This is a paragraph as re-written by me (just to make it shorter and simpler):
The reference to "[T]he silent reproach / Of a million tear-stained eyes" may refer to the destructive effects war can have, not only on the populace that suffered the fighting, but also the children left behind to suffer the losses of family members killed in the war.
It basically says the same thing that it did before I redrafted it. Thing is, I don't know if this is a contributor's original interpretation, or if this sort of thing has been said in a source. I don't recall seeing any such interpretation myself, and I've read quite a few Pink Floyd books. So, even though I rewrote it myself, I added a citeneeded tag.

thread_title:  Original thought? 

message: Before I edited this article today, it had no less than FOUR instances of the word "portion". Every article for the individual songs from The Wall includes this sentence: "As with other songs on The Wall, "[Song Title]" tells a portion of the story of Pink, the album's protagonist." I think this sentence is clumsy and redundant, and since I'm editing the articles anyway (they all seem to need at least a little fine-tuning, and all could say more about the actual music vs. somebody-or-other's interpretation of the lyrics), I'll be re-drafting to avoid this sentence, and specifically avoiding the word "portion". Have a good day.

As for the second claim, how could they be sure he was stoned, and not just a guy being a goofball?  Did it really happen before the song was recorded (and Pink Floyd copied him), or was it just a guy imitating the record?  I'm sorry, but it sounds like a newly made-up fan rumour.
