Reasons for removing lengthy Mike Oldfield quote from Changeling: The Autobiography edit

There was not enough room in the edit summary to list the merits of removing this quote.

From WP:QUOTEFARM:

  • It is used without pertinence. Its relevance is not explained anywhere (i.e. The quote I removed had no explanation to its relevance)
  • The quote dominate the article (i.e. The quote I removed made up 50% of the entire article)


From WP:LONGQUOTE:

  • Quotes shouldn't replace plain, concise text. Intersperse quotations with original prose that comments on those quotations instead of constructing articles out of quotations with little or no original prose. (i.e. The quote is excessively large, and the article would be better served if this was paraphrased.
