The war is still being fought

 * The idea that "K466" goes directly to this page, rather than Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20, is a perfect example of "taking by force".
 * No objective analysis could justify that.
 * About 30 seconds of thought would show that there may be as many as one million times as many people who have heard Piano Concerto No. 20 as have come across the name "Bickerton" in ANY context.
 * I'd be willing to bet that at some point, a BBC Radio program started with the intro from the Piano Concerto, as its intro.
 * By the way, some news - the Germans and Austrians did surrender in 1945.
 * Okay, you can go back to your 12-year-old level Wiki warfare. Carry on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.122.66.140 (talk • contribs) 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I’m undecided whether to reply to this, or simply delete it as a rant from a four-edit contributor.
 * To go with the first for now, this point would be better made if it was clear what the issue was. It would seem that Bickerton’s pennant number, K466, is similar to the catalogue number of the Mozart piece, something I imagine only a reader with an interest and knowledge in both subjects might pick up on: But as the usual format for a Köchel number would be K. 466, (full stop, space, as befits an abbreviation, and which about 30 seconds of thought around English grammar would show) and which something an enquirer searching for a piece by Köchel number ought to be aware of (and which does redirect to the aforementioned piece) a more constructive approach would be to clarify the hatnote, to make the difference between the two redirects clear. So that's what I have done. Xyl 54 (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
