Talk:Midoru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page needs some work (ideally by someone who actually understands the subject, which rules me out). It needs to be in the past tense ("in 1989 Midoru did this or that" not "does this or that", and it shouldn't be written in subjective form (i.e it shouldn't say "I" or "me" anywhere). Also, if this person is encyclopedic, shouldn't there be a discography? -- Finlay McWalter 01:05, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Thank you. Your comments are on target and definitely give me something to work on. I did feel that maybe it was a bit sensationalistic sounding, so I have taken your suggestions and rewritten the article from a less subjective view. This is a person that excited me long ago and I have never seen anything else written about him, so I thought he may deserve an entry. I am hopeful that someone else who may know of him will come along and provide more information. -- Infortis 15:26, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Much better :) . I took the liberty of doing some futher copyediting, mostly just swapping things around and stuff. The one part I removed was "composer, guitarist, and designer with an obsession for things hidden, dark and occult", as I didn't quite know how to word the sentence around it. Did Midoru himself write Théâtre d'illusion bizarre, or is it by someone else? -- Finlay McWalter 16:55, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I think the revisions you made are very good. It now more closely approaches the editorial look of other articles on the site. I would not have thought to write it that way. You may have noticed that I removed the picture from the article. This is because I received a very polite e-mail today which stated that while there appeared to be no problem the article, I may want to review French privacy and copyright law before publicly posting pictures of possible French citizens. While I do feel that it met all the criteria for fair use, maybe it is better to err on the side of caution. Anyone trained in Fr. Law that can provide a ruling? --Infortis 00:37, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- It's very conscientious of you to remove it yourself (maybe a wikipedia first!). Perhaps you should post a short question on Wikipedia talk:Possible copyright infringements, noting the original source of the image and referring to the image name and the Midoru page. Armed with enough information, someone there will know what to do. -- Finlay McWalter 01:40, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
