Hi. You know, rather than using edit summaries to complain about other editors' "completely irrational bias", you could try using the article talk page to explain your point of view. That is the preferred way to resolve differences here, and more polite too. Anyway, the new wording is fine! "His works are mostly notable for..." made it sound like that's the main reason people pay attention to his works; "One notable characteristic of most of his works..." doesn't have that problem. I guess my problem was more with the ambiguous "mostly" than the "notable". Nit-picky maybe, but not completely irrational. ←Hob 21:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
