The sentence "The Encyclopedia of Popular Music is the most authoritative source on rock, pop and jazz artists ever written." This is speculative/qualitative because of the word authoritative. The sentence should be removed in my opinion or altered to something like comprehensive, even that would require a citation and that would be hard to prove. The whole status section should be removed or changed because that sentence is not good. Burnedfaceless (talk) 23:26, 18 December 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.141.34 (talk)
I really don't understand why. I have many, many reviews and citations in a large box in my garage. Check out what The Times said, or Rolling Stone, or The Library Journal, or Record Collector, or Mojo, or Q Magazine or the Times Weekend Magazine. This is not me bragging, it is a fact that others (not me) have stated printed. If you really want to challenge this I suggest you disprove the statement. I am not prepared to go through dozens and dozens of reviews and citations received over 16 years to prove this - it really speaks for itself.Colin Larkin (talk) 16:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
