[edit] Dyslexia

Does Dyslexia needs its own sub-heading? I know it is a big issue and he has made a point so people know about it - but can't it just be put in there, somehow? Thnom 01:42, 11 June 2006 (UTC) What was the issue over Steve Osbourne? There was controversy over the amount of work Steve Osbourne actually done for Oakenfold in his best "remixes". Supposedly Osbourne was really the remixer and Oakenfold was just really a figurehead. Most of his moste recent releases have been amateurish compared to the stuff under Steve Osbourne.

I've removed this line: "Oakenfold's latest album of his own work is Voyage into the Trance in 2001 (2001 in music)." The album "Voyage into Trace" was actually a rerelease of a 1996 album that was of questionable legality, I believe Oakenfold may have filed a lawsuit against the distributor. - Kricxjo 15:28 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)

Change phohto please. Oakenfold is another now :-) Setti 07:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pacha residency

Shouldn't there be some mention of his residency at Pacha, Ibiza? I don't know for what period he was resident DJ (except that he was in 2000 and 2001) so I leave it to others to enter it into the article. __meco 19:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paul from Bow?

Paul, did you learn to mix from Mixmaster P at a Bow youth club?--194.201.66.7 22:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Seeing as Paul Oakenfold has such an extensive release history, i believe it would be beneficial to the article on him to also have a separate discography page. Let me know what you think. NitroOverdriveX 06:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

You know what? Go ahead and split it. But check out other, similar articles to see how they were done. And be sure to have an introduction. I will unprotect the space. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and more information needs to be given about each release than what you had in your version. Again, I recommend doing this in your user space. If you have questions, ask. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
