[edit] Biography Citation Needed
The Biography paragraph - with the exception of the bit about his nick - needs citing. --Randy
[edit] What?
"Not much is publicly known about Flood's personal life [citation needed], although he was born in Manchester UK in 1960." why is there a need to cite something that cannot be verified? It is kind of difficult to conduct a search for nothing.
[edit] Need cite
What was the fact tag on the following statement removed? "[Mark Ellis is] known for his cutting-edge electronic sound, which seamlessly blends synthetic and organic elements." This probably actually be reworded to say who regards him as such or removed. --Nonpareility 04:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Apologies for removing it. It merely seems self-evident, like saying "Rothko is known for big rectangles of color" or "Bach is known for counterpoint." Flood produced Violator and Pretty Hate Machine; he introduced electronics to the Smashing Pumpkins' and U2's palettes. It is really not a disputed point, and anyone who knows who he is understands this. I mean, if you really want a citation, I'm sure it can be found, but it's silly to cite "the sky is blue."

- Your Bach and Rothko examples are self-evident, and further any reference in other parts of their articles would likely mention them. This situation is different in that
- Flood is no Bach or Rothko
- I'm specifically disputing the words "cutting-edge" and "seamlessly", which describe how great (somebody thinks) he is, rather than the simple fact that he's a record producer.--Nonpareility 14:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Edited to NPOV intro; fixed a few other misc. things. Amber388 15:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Record/Music Producer?
Just a nitpick, but...shouldn't it be Mark Ellis (music producer)? The medium that music is on is continually changing (from records, to CDs, and now mp3s), so music producer would be more accurate and inclusive. Bennie Noakes 03:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
Mark Ellis (record producer) → Flood (producer) — Commonly goes by the nickname "Flood"—not by his birth name. Article should be moved as per WP:NCP#Nick names, pen names, stage names, cognomens. "Producer" is a specific enough attribution, and "record producer" is unnecessary. —Dream out loud 00:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
The names of articles in the relevant categories aren't standardized. Some have "(producer)", some have "(music producer)", some have "(record producer)". It seems as though the name should be changed to some variation of "Flood", however. Dekimasuよ! 06:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Given that the titles are not standardised, I concur with Dream out loud that the simplest disambiguator is preferable. This article has been renamed from Mark Ellis (record producer) to Flood (producer) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 08:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Grammy winner
Flood is listed in the "Grammy award winners" category. Someone should mention his award(s) in the article. I'd do it but I don't know what he's won! 70.189.71.32 05:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sigur Rós
The comment about Flood working together with Sigur Rós needs to be updated. Sigur Rós' myspace page speaks of them coming together in New York, I believe this month. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JurgenBM (talk • contribs) 23:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
