Subjectivity / PR[edit]

The edits made by 82.35.23.68 ("one of the most exciting and visionary violinists of our time") are more than merely subjective; they're hyperbolic. Not that Balanescu isn't good, but this kind of shilling isn't allowed on Wikipedia and I nominate these changes for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.83.8.98 (talk) 19:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.143.88 (talk) 03:59, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were from Balanescu's bio on his website and I've had to delete them the revisions as copyright violations.--chaser - t 02:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of page[edit]

I believe I wrote a few basic sentences of my own construction several years ago. What others have added subjectively may have been of concern to Wiki integrity. Biog loks okay to me with sentences removed.Norwikian (talk) 14:17, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Shouldn't the name be written as he writes it nowadays, not as it was written at birth? He writes it Balanescu (without diacritical marks), see his website.--Mycomp (talk) 13:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Biog[edit]

Interesting biog here about AB. http://citizendia.org/Alexander_B%C4%83l%C4%83nescu Vivace123 (talk) 15:39, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
