[edit] Possibly two zh interlanguage links for Hans Zimmer?

It seems that m:zh:苏聪 may be one as well (born 1957 in both articles, check; it's in the zh equivalent of the German composers category, and two of the articles in its External links refer to the Last Emperor. It's not this article that our zh link refers to, however. There may just be two articles about him on their site, not unknown, needing a merge.)

[edit] Neutral Point of View

The integrity of this entry is very questionable

This page does not adhere to the biographies of living persons guidelines. It is not written in a neutral point of view, instead reading like a press release for the composer ("Hans Zimmer really understands the overall vision of the films because the music compliments the visuals flawlessly"). "...adding a personal opinion once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated."

While I understand that the pending lawsuits should not appear here until they are settled, no mention whatsoever is made of the fact that Zimmer's music (and that of Media Ventures in general) is contraversial ("The views of critics should be represented if their views are relevant to the subject's notability and are based on reliable sources, and so long as the material is written in a manner that does not overwhelm the article or appear to side with the critics' material"). Attempts to try to balance out these issues in the past have been met with aggressive editing.

[edit] No spaces in paragraph beginnings!

Please, please don't put spaces in the beginnings of paragraphs and lines. It makes them look:

like this

Which is there only for special cases (like code). Teo64x 15:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Back to previous revision

I edited the article to a previous revision, which also contains the Work Profile section, which was removed without any notes. If there are any problems with this section, they should be corrected - not the section removed. I don't see a point in removing large sections of information, especially for notable people like Zimmer and without leaving any comments. If somebody wishes to remove something, please take some time to discuss it first. Teo64x 15:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I reverted two edits: one had the summary "this section is crap" and the other had no summary (it just removed the infobox). Both edits done by anonymous users and only to this page, so -> revert until a good reason is given. The section in question needs to be checked for NPOV but certainly not deleted as "crap" Teo64x 15:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Nothing is better than this section without any sources but with many factual errors--*ABC* 13:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] From Hans-Zimmer.com, can someone add it?

The german website ONLINE FOCUS revealed that Hans ZIMMER didn't want to be nominated for the Oscars anymore. "I was 7 times nominated ; Each time, it brought my life out its balance ; call, interviews and stress. That's why i decided it was enough. From now, I forbid the Filmstudios to submit my music to the Academy."

[edit] Can't change the photo of hans zimmer

I don't know how so please someone use this photo: http://www.nndb.com/people/265/000098968/hans-zimmer-1.jpg

thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.155.179.205 (talk) 01:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bee Movie

Mr. Zimmer produced the score, but did not compose it. The score was composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams. The article does not accurately reflect this. Hrhadam (talk) 10:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I've added an "as producer" section and moved Bee movie there along with Blood+. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will finish sorting the list out. Collectonian (talk) 11:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sux

Hans Zimmer really sux man; he and the Media Ventures crowd, all the generic lot of them. Terrasidius (talk) 20:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
