Tasks

Useful Stuff

Discography

After providing a link to both a Queen Discography article and a Freddie Mercury solo discography article, the section then lists his complete solo discography. Either it should be deleted, or the article on the solo discography is unnecessary. 98.221.124.80 (talk) 10:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ashes

I'd like to see the part about his ashes being scattered in Montreux cited or removed. Mary Austin has spesifically stated she was to keep Freddies final restingplace a secret. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.110.137.7 (talk) 17:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

rolling stones link changed

Is located at http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/;kw=[3857,12126,12232], it doesn't work to put it as a link.

I'm talking about reference #4. Is it possible to fix it somehow? 213.136.61.140 (talk) 14:27, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Intro section

Could we possibly avoid hyperbole like 'four-octave range'? It's not true, and makes the page look amateurish. It seems to be used as a synonym for 'good voice'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.84.79.142 (talk) 14:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he did have a range close to four octaves if you include falsetto, so it's correct. Forgive me if I'm wrong. DrStrangelove64 —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrStrangelove64 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
