In the second paragraph, we find the end of a sentence: "that the two men could not agree upon and has since parted in high enmity." Should this be re-worded? What exactly is this second paragraph trying to say? In the seventh paragraph, another: "which oddly-enough among them his personal appearance as well". Smyslov 18:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The lead was/is "Karl Michael Ziehrer (also Carl M. Ziehrer) (2 May 1843 - 14 November 1922) was an Austrian composer and military bandmaster. In his lifetime, he was better known as one of the fiercest rivals of the Strauss family, especially Johann Strauss II and Eduard Strauss."
I made two small changes. I deleted "and military bandmaster" in the first sentence because (1) being a bandmaster was not as significant an occupation for Ziehrer as being a composer, and (2) it's already mentioned in the main text. And I deleted "better" in the second sentence because the intended comparison was unclear and the word, in any case, is redundant.
However to my surprise I see that Melodia has immediately reverted my edits. Why? What's the point? Can I have an explanation please? -- Klein zach 14:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
What does that mean? What is Viennese nature?
Karl who? His name was 'Carl', not 'Karl'. It's not a kind of also allowed spelling, it's just wrong! For me there is no reason to use a different, wrong, spelling - not in English, not in Wikipedia, not anywhere. 91.115.52.144 ( talk) 13:21, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
