Talk:Jens Lindemann

Philharmonics list
I've removed the list of Philharmonics that Jens played "at". It didn't work: those that were not redlinked were orchestras not venues, and it is a bizarre characteristic to choose as a common thing to lump places under. Nice idea as an abstract thing, but it just doesn't really work like that. (It works no better or worse if you substitute "Pubs called the Dog and Duck" or "Sushi bars" or "Festival Halls", basically - you'll get some hits, some misses in each case.) Rather than try to sort out the ensuing de-Philharmoniced mess, I then just deleted it and patched up the wording. If we are saying he played in major venues worldwide then I really do not think we need to mention every city these might have been in like ticking them off on a list - LA, yes, London, yes, Berlin etc. Ooh yes, and Bangkok too... So I think it's tidier as it now is, and I hope you do too. Cheers DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 16:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

That German-Canadian thing
A series of edits like this one remove a few words from the first sentence of this article. The editor(s) haven't brought it here to discuss, nor have they responded to messages on their talk pages. They don't use edit summaries. If they would share their rationale for the changes then we might make some progress but if they just keep removing it without explanation one starts to worry what is going on. I'm tending to restore the deleted text at the moment, but I wish that the editor(s) concerned would discuss it, or use the edit summary, or something. The encyclopaedia is supposed to work by collaboration, not just by editing as a soloist. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 08:42, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
