Talk:Max Raabe

Untitled
I've pulled the following from the article: An individual whose public persona exudes the stylish and smooth, his hit "Sexbomb" was recently incorporated into a brief video commentary on the varied lifestlye choices possible in the popular massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft. (WoW). The video (The Pink Side of WoW) can be easily found using common video serch technologies, and, like the infamous "Leeroy Jenkins" goof refrenced in a question on Jeopardy, blurs the line between in-game and real life (RL) experience of MMORPG's.

This paragraph is really a trainwreck, and needs work from someone who is interested. NPOV, citations for his "stylishness", spell checking, and the biggest part yet: How notable is the Pink side of Wow? I googled it and found one and a half pages of results, almost all of them from personal blogs saying "neato". - C HAIRBOY (☎) 19:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:M Raabe.jpg
Image:M Raabe.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.

Chronology problem
The article says "He founded the Palast Orchester in 1986, while he was studying at the Berlin University of the Arts from 1988 to 1995 as a baritone opera singer." However, because 1986 preceded 1988, that sentence cannot be correct. If Raabe founded the Palast Orchester while studying at the university, he must have founded it sometime between 1988 and 1995, or he must have begun his studies by 1986. Or perhaps the dates are correct, which means Raabe founded the band before (rather than while) he studied at the university. Do any of you Raabe fans know which is true?

 * I fixed by leaving dates intact but placing the educational info in a separate sentence. Benccc (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Vocal range
Raabe has a remarkable vocal range. I don;t have a reference book to support that, and I wondered if someone who has, could insert the fact in the article.

verbaly enforced German vocabulary dandy
Thinking of Berlin of the olde, no German expression for the singing Berlin power dandy comes to my mind. So the wiki-authors are left alone with the poetic interpretation of the works of Raabe. Hundred years from now it might be the Totendance of the Berlin dandy with orchestra. Profitable for all his offspring and relatives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E0:8F05:8C03:F4BF:2C9B:2F34:C8A8 (talk) 22:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
