Fair use rationale for Image:Pollini.jpg
Image:Pollini.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

POV tone
Much of the writing in this article veers far into POV territory, as if it were written by a manager or lifted from the Deutsche Grammophon website. I'll be attempting a rewrite to tone it down. If anyone has suggestions, please leave them on my talk page. THD3 16:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

What did Rubinstein say in 1960?
Just saw a TV interview "Maurizio Pollini – de main de maître" (Idéale Audience/ARTE France 2014). There Pollini said that somebody had conveniently left out the word "technically" from what Rubinstein actually said in that 1960 Chopin competition. What Rubinstein said would thus have been something like "that boy has better technical skills than any of us". Pollini also said that Rubinstein was referring to his jury colleagues and that he had the impresssion that Rubinstein wanted to tease them a bit. 83.253.17.218 (talk) 16:16, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Wholesale reverted merged mid-edit conflict
@User:Gerda_Arendt, I'm not sure why you reverted my edits with the summary "the later additions would need references" when I provided them. I cited my edits but left those of 2601:444:281:8b80:5584:53ce:5ee4:8623 intact pending sourcing. It would be easier to have added CN tags to those edits. Presumably they are from David Allen's NYT article, given the overlap in our edits. As it is, I am probably done: I lost some of what I had added from Siek's Dictionary in attempting to merge when my edits when 2601:444:281:8b80:5584:53ce:5ee4:8623 edited during my session.

 * No sorry, MONTENSEM, you must have added after I noticed unsourced additions by an IP. Sorry! Can you please restore, I really didn't mean your changes that must have occured while I explained to the IP that we need sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I reverted my edit, let's take it from there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries, thank you, and sorry I was frustrated! MONTENSEM (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
