Talk:Trevor Rabin

Changes to Yes section
I have just restored the Yes section to the version it was on in early July, before someone edited it for a "fact-based, neutral tone". While there are a few somewhat opinionated remarks in that version I believe that at most one or two of them fail to meet Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines.

The edit in question cannot be accurately described as only creating a more neutral tone. It also
 * (Re)introduced the LEAST fact-based, neutral remark in the article at the time, namely that Union "comes across as strictly a corporate decision".
 * Introduced a lot of choppy, laundry-list style sentences that read very poorly; the newly-restored section reads much more engagingly. ("Neutral" need not mean "boring"!)
 * Changed some sentences for no obvious reason at all in ways that made them grammatically incorrect
 * Made chronological sequence unclear in some places
 * Deleted some sentences without removing later remarks that referred back to them, creating several spots where the article no longer made sense.
 * Removed information, such as the (lack of) chart showing of the Can't Look Away singles, for no obvious reason.

Improvements this section still needs would include sourcing the claims in it. I know most of them to be true but would be hard-pressed to properly cite this at the moment. I will also reintroduce some corrections to dates and cities made since July. 99.28.109.0 (talk) 05:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I have now made some further improvements including removing several of the above-noted opinionated remarks. Also, I would like to note that the first bullet point above is incorrect; that remark was not introduced by the edit I mentioned, merely left alone by it. However, that is still a strange decision given the stated motives behind that edit.

Spleen
Wasn't Rabin kicked in the spleen around the time Yes' 90125 was released? My recollection is that the injury meant he couldn't physically hang upside-down for the "Leave It" video (though I'm not sure why they wouldn't achieve the same effect by simply turning the camera upside-down). Less likely, but again from memory, is that it turned out he had more than one spleen. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I did find a couple of mentions (only about the spleen injury) in old newspapers:, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I assumed this was the same as the "large woman" incident mentioned in the article. 24.79.207.140 (talk) 21:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation
An IPA guide or something should be added to his name. Is it "Rabin" (short A as in "cat") or "Ray-bin"? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Birth name
I have seen on a few web sites that Rabin was born Trevor Charles Rabinowitz. Is this true? LowSelfEstidle (talk) 21:54, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
