Talk:Iannis Xenakis

message: I just came across this page, the guy seems really interesting but based on the format I feel like I have to read an essay on his whole life to learn anything about him.  It would be better if it was split into sections (early life, music style, etc.)  I'm sure you guys can come up with something better than me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.152.87 (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir,

I think that clears it up, right? I'm going to post a picture from that site now. Chris 15:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: An anonymous wikipedia user with IP 65.102.229.57 recently added a complete list of Xenakis' works which appears to be copied and pasted from www.iannis-xenakis.org, and so its inclusion in the article could be seen as a copyright violation. I am going to remove it for now.—Tobias Bergemann 09:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Suggestion: "xenakis" search should redirect to Iannis Xenakis rather than the disambiguation page. Isn't he notable enough for that. And a disambiguation link be sent to the top of this very page.
Problem: I don't know how to do it as per decision making process / markup syntax. Someone?

replies: text: On the face of it, this seems a reasonable request but, as a musician myself I do not feel capable of judging the relative prominence of the  the writer (the composer's wife) and the artist in their respective fields (I think we can safely relegate the gymnast to a less-notable level). Some input from people with better credentials in French literature and recent visual art would be welcome.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 01:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
