I reworded, rewrote, edited, much of what existed, and added a great deal as well. I hope it helped.Dingno (talk) 21:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I'm still a novice with wikipedia, so I'm not exactly sure how I go about marking a page for cleanup/professional attention in any fashion. I'm marking the article for cleanup and requesting expert attention.

What I think the article needs, imho: Refinement and a more informed history of Schiller would be nice. My written intro feels a bit wordy to me and perhaps not grasping the key points of a musician introduction; the whole intro essay is overpacked with not-irrelevant-but-misplaced information I feel. Can the guest musician information be given its own section/header? Citations also would be great for information on the Von Deylen-Von Schlieffen split as well as what Von Deylen said about not wanting to continue mixing english translations (I remember reading about these things, but- I'll admit it, I'm lazy. I've done a lot of work on this article).

Also, can the discography section be cleaned up? Perhaps a table? I'd like to see some information in there about the special edition releases if it's appropriate.

There should be information about the live performances/concerts; is it noteworthy to mention that they were the opening musical act for Depeche Mode in Athens a few years back? Their popularity+speedy rise in fame? What about Sarah Brightman's A Beautiful Day which was inspired by their rendition of Ein Schoener Tag, the idiosyncracies of Leben's many different editions (Sarah Brightman and Maya Saban both singing I've Seen it All for example; Sinead O'Connor's Troy...Phoenix From the Flame "schill"-out remix on the media market deluxe edition of Leben, etc)

I'll definitely do what I can, but the attention and help of a more experienced and knowledgable wikipediite would be greatly appreciated.Dingno (talk) 00:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC) (sorry, forgot to sign this post the other day)
