Re: Twelfth Night
I'm not going to take your word for it that Twelfth Night were especially important, so if they were, please provide a reliable reference explaining why. This article quickly becomes cluttered with lists of names. This might be a nice shout-out for the band's fans, but think of the reader, who might have no prior knowledge of progressive rock. Does the mere presence of a name increase this reader's understanding?

I'm trying not to mention any band's name anywhere in the article without it being tied to some relevant point in the discussion of the subject. That's harder with neo-prog, because these bands just don't show up in published references. There's not much information on them outside of fanzines and fan sites. Beyond Marillion, and to a lesser extent Pallas and Saga, discussion is pretty much limited to "yeah, they also exist." I'm not seeing any later bands that claim them as influences. This all suggests that neo-prog as a whole isn't that essential. If you have some substantial information from a reliable source that specifies Twelfth Night's importance, then put it up there. But if there's going to be constant dispute over whose names get listed, I'll delete the whole section. It won't hurt the article, and neo-prog has its own article anyway.
