A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 30, 2006.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the early musical influences of Austrian jazz-fusion guitarist Alex Machacek, who has been praised by legends like John McLaughlin, included heavy metal bands like Iron Maiden and KISS?

NPOV?

[edit]

I've removed the POV tag; the article reads neutral to me. Good start, could use a little cleanup and expansion -- wish I had the knowledge to help further -- Samir धर्म 05:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a handful of references and I'm working on it more. Grandmasterka 04:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would caution against using too much of the language from his reviews, which are a bit over the top in gushing with praise. Any criticisms of this guy? Grandmasterka 04:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Failed GA

[edit]

Failing mainly due to deficits in prosody and coverage.

  • The lead section should contain more essential info
  • The paragraphs are often unstructured and incomprehensive. For example in [..] The albums contain a lot of fluid legato guitar solos. Machacek released [Sic] in 2005. All his albums have received critical acclaim, especially in jazz circles.[5][6][7][8] [Sic] also features his wife, Sumitra on vocals in one song, the song being "Indian Girl".
  • Further I get the feeling the "Early life" is missing information. It cuts short and goes to "Music career".

There are other examples. Essentially the article needs to be expanded, structured, and copyedited.

Name and pronunciation

[edit]

What is the pronunciation of his surname? And judging from one of the references, his full first name is Alexander. Shouldn't this be mentioned? --Hansung02 (talk) 14:25, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
