Cleanup edits by Headbomb[edit]

As I've said, my edits were not made to "undo" work, but rather to clean up. I really don't see why this guy's ancestry up to 3-4 generations meets in any way WP:NOTABILITY, or his fascination for things like 3+4=7, or that his teaching wrote down the Alkane series, or how what guitar he owns is something worthy of inclusions (and nearly all of this is unreferenced too). If the guy is notable as a musician, then something that should be included is the albums he made, his record deals, possible live shows (notable one that is). If this dude's story is particularly tied to his city of birth, such as him being elected mayor, or him founding a large company in a small town, then include that. Try comparing this guy with other notable persons similar to him, other artists, other australians, etc..., and see what these articles include. But again, see WO:Notability and WP:Isnot.

My edits also did a fair share of copy-editing, formatting etc, so it's probably easier (in the long run) to copy over me rather than work from a previous version. Although I admit I've slashed some things about music I shouldn't have slashed (I didn't noticed that his band performed with other well known people, I thought the section was essential "This guy like these bands and owns these guitars". I hope there's no hard feelings. Best of luck.Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 16:02, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Standards[edit]

This biography reads more like a personal CV (College thesis advisor) than a standard Wikipedia biography. In addition, there are many claims (Quotes and 1999 Theorem are examples) that are poorly cited and may constitute as original research. Lastly, some citations links (Oracle Talk in Ref. 3) are broken. Thebravelittlemuon (talk) 07:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
