Talk:Michael Mantler

Article name
SHould this page be called Michael Mantler?? Also, it needs wikifying, and according to his website he moved to the USA in 1964. Tim Fellows 10:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

yes, the page should be called Michael Mantler, don't know how to do it, though, nor how to wikify - somebody else?

he moved to USA in 1962 (to New York in 1964) ..... and that's exactly what it says on the website (see bio) Ernste Musik 13:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Moved it to Michael Mantler and yes, it was 1962. Boston is apparantly in the USA!!! Also wikified first two paragraphs. Should probably also be categorised - look at other jazz musicians for examples of categories. Tim Fellows 19:14, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Is it really necessary (and in the spirit of Wikipedia?) to include seemingly irrelevant and certainly not specific to this article, very basic links to items such as place names: United States (!), Hamburg, Berlin, etc., or instruments: violin, keyboards, etc. Isn't that overdoing things a bit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.0.252.226 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 20 June 2006

--> instructions at the GFDL link are incomprehensible to me. As the above says, permission is granted. I really don't care. Maybe somebody can put a copy of this license into this mysterious GNU etc etc section? Thanks.
