improvements to Russell Garcia (composer)
Hi - the main thing is to not think of the page as a flyer or cd jacket. It's an encyclopedia article. So glowing language and superlatives need to be trimmed to realistic tone instead of promotional. Another way of saying it is to consider using the information from the article as a reference for points made in the sense of a college paper about Russell. Also integrate the material you are adding with what is already there - that content related to your additions would radically "take over" the article can be fine as long as it's well done - I'm one of the few other people who've spent time on the article so I've got something of an interest. Plus there are jazz enthusiasts etc who've added content. You might also consider reading some other articles about similar people - see Miles Davis and Frank Zappa as examples of well developed articles though we may not have enough content to match those articles for length and detail.
