Talk:Tiësto

message: Maybe I missed it but - Why is there no word of him? He clearly came out (as well as Tiesto) and admitted he is/was behind Tiesto's success from 1997-today, meaning he composed his music for him.
http://www.hifi.nl/artikel/1939/De_muziekbeleving_van..._Dennis_Waakop_Reijers.html
(English translation from Dutch)
Tiësto 
"My first serious remixes I made the late nineties, when Tiësto came into the scene. I learned to know him around the summer of 1998. We knew each other yet, but a friend of mine who worked in a music case had tipped me to Tijs. They asked me as a test if I have a remix request for him could do. He was already known, the end of'97 had already been on Inner City and in'98 he was a headliner. I stood by the test fairly quickly and then we are fairly intensive work together. " -- Dennis Waakop Reijers
 'The Band'  
"In 2001 we Tiësto first album together produced. We are working since then with two on the production and compositions. Behind them is still a small group that takes care of all the surrounding issues. But with just two, we are responsible for the numbers. Tiësto called us' The Band '. In my contract states that I have for others or myself can do things, but in practice I can not stand. Furthermore, we are a strong team together, that the sin is not to use the combined forces. " -- Dennis Waakop Reijers
	
"Most people know me. I am totally unknown, except in the production world of course...I find it really nice in the shadow of Tiësto States. I am left alone and can do without me someone will ask for a signature. Of course, sometimes I get called fanmail, or requests from other artists." -- Dennis Waakop Reijers
Now even Tiesto admits this during an interview:
As you’re always on the road, are you creating your own track edits?
"Definitely. In the last year, I’ve been on the road mostly on the weekends, mostly in Europe. And then the rest of the week I’m in the studio. I’ve been working with a producer for seven years, [including on] the last album. His name is Dennis Waakop-Reijers. We work great together as a team. He couldn’t make the music without me and I couldn’t make the music without him." -- Tiësto

thread_title: Why no mention of Dennis Waakop Reijers-Fraaij in the article?

message: The article says "now known simply as "Tiësto", an alias which is a twist on his childhood nickname" but the reference does not state what the nickname is. I can see some similarity between Tijs and Tiësto, though. In doubt, I would remove the reference and replace it with a 'needs reference'.

message: This article has a lot of broken links. I've tried to fix some of them but this is harder than for most articles, I think because some of the sites referenced are under construction/discontinued.

message: What I want to remove: Steve Forte Rio as an alias
What I want to add: "Despite common thinking that the anagram of “Steve Forte Rio” is “Tiesto Forever”, this alias does not belong to Tijs Verwest. The latter co-wrote with Steve “A New Dawn” single, and short tracks from “In Search of Sunrise” compilations, and the remix for JES. Everything other under the name of Steve Forte Rio has nothing to do with the name Tiësto."
Note that what I want to add is taken straight from the source below.

Also, by checking out both of their Twitter pages one can easily deduct my conclusion.
My apologies if my request lacks the quality, direction and details expected in the wikipedia-community.

thread_title:  EDIT - Life and Musical Career - Present 

message: The listed pronunciation of his stage name appears to be incorrect. It is shown as (/ˈtʃɛstoʊ/ CHES-toh; Dutch pronunciation: [cɛsto]). I don't know if that is the correct Dutch pronunciation (I don't think it is) but it is certainly not the pronunciation he uses (as can be seen on countless interviews/youtube videos). Please change the listed pronunciation to the correct pronunciation.
I would make the change myself but am not quite sure of how exactly it should be changed.

replies: text: I found the Dutch pronunciation: "Dutch pronunciation: [tiɛsto]" (http://www.tiestoblog.com/biography/) but unfortunately I am not familiar with English phonetics/phonemes and am only moderately familiar with Spanish phonetics/phonemes. In Spanish the correct pronunciation would be written /tjes-to/ I think (I am unsure of the dipthong). I know I'm still being a little vague but what I am asking is for someone who actually knows the IPA to change the listed pronunciation to the right one instead of the currently incorrect listed pronunciation. If I was an expert in the IPA, I would do it myself rather than ask here.

message: Do we really need to put this on the article? I'm curious to hear your opinion. I think that just because a website, in this case MTV.com, calls him the "Godfather of EDM" it doesn't mean he is widely known as such. The source doesn't even talk about Tiësto, he is just mencioned because he discovered Garrix and serves as his "mentor". It's the same as reading an article about Armin van Buuren and you find a line which reads "king of trance". It's all subjetive. So, unless reputed websites and music magazines like DJ Mag and Mixmag start a new poll asking who is the godfather of EDM, like they did with "Greatest DJ of All Time" and "the best DJ of the last 20 years" polls, we shouldn't add this. Hakken (talk) 15:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: MTV is a reliable secondary source and they explicitly said Tiesto is the Godfather of EDM. Therefore, it is acceptable per policies because it matches the source and is not fabricated. That's all the Wikipedia policy asks for, to provide content with a reliable source and there you have it. I do not see the issue because there are no other reliable sources to dispute that Tiesto isn't the Godfather of EDM so it's best to let it be. - TheMagnificentist 15:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah i don't dispute the Wikipedia policy and the reliability of MTV. It's just that it doesn't seem right to add this even when Tiësto doesn't see himself as such  and there are countless articles from reputed sites claiming that Giorgio Moroder is the godfather of EDM. Hakken (talk) 18:21, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because a source refers to someone using a cliche, doesn't mean the cliche should be added to the Wikipedia article.  If several sources refer to a successful stockbroker "the king of Wall Street", and an editor wishes to add that to that person's Wikipedia article, it would be best to state "several sources have referred to him as 'the king of Wall Street'".  In this case it's a one-off and should be removed, per MOS:WTW.  Magnolia677 (talk) 00:00, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
