 * What is the point of that (badly named) section? Why should an exhaustive list of people whom a single man has reviewed be considered encyclopedic?  A single sentence like "He has reviewed a number of notable figures, including ..." would be sufficient.  I'd remove the section outright, but several people have put some effort into it, so I'll pose the question here first.  --Ardonik 06:01, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)


 * Remove it. If the excternal website doesn't index by reviewer, why should we? Andy Mabbett 11:53, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Done. --Ardonik 21:46, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)


 * Actually, if the external website did index by reviewer, there would be no need of it anywhere. Hyacinth 22:01, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I would still argue that such trivia has no place in an encyclopedia, but there's no harm in keeping the information here. --Ardonik 00:30, 2004 Aug 4 (UTC)

Article title
I don't know how to change the title of the article, but I don't think he ever went by "Gene Tyranny," it was always "Blue" Gene Tyranny Jamescube (talk) 02:07, 3 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Correct, but to me he was always just Bob Sheff. I knew his stage name, but not how to spell it. While he was Mills College, I was invited to be an incompetent player of the Star-Spangled Banner in a piece by Marc Grafe and stumbled appropriately. After the concert Bob Sheff got on the stage and played the most amazing set of scales at high speed. WaltPeterson (talk) 13:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
