I found the use of "Widely credited" somewhat contentious. Not because the source doesn't support a similar claim, but, because of it's worded within: "it was Rampling’s Shoom that effectively kicked off the acid-house craze in London". The quote doesn't regard others views and so perhaps the lead sentence should be reworded to say "some consider" or provide attribution to Michaelangelo Matos.
I also don't see why this and the following praise by Billboard are relegated to the lead. To me, they perfectly suit the legacy section--the event's legacy can be seen in the popularization of acid house.

Yeah, but my problem is that she is very low profile and I don't have her nee surname. But will see how it can be rephrased.

"The club's name was inspired by a phrase Rampling heard in Ibiza to describe the effects of coming-up, or "rushing", on ecstasy, the club drug that became widely associated with the UK dance music scene. Rampling says that the word came from a phrase he heard from Trevor Fung on their first visit the island." → "The club's name was inspired by a phrase DJ Trevor Fung told Rampling in Ibiza to describe the effects of coming-up, or "rushing", on ecstasy, the club drug that became widely associated with the UK dance music scene."

Ceoil: Resumming comments: "Shoom's opening night in November 1988 was titled "Klub Sch-oom",[19] but this name was shortened to "Shoom" by the second night.[20][21]" I'm sceptical of this piece of info's inclusion. It seems to be trivial in nature—akin to a pub quiz question.

Not so sure as the club name was not random or because it sounded nice; it was rooted in E/LSD culture, and I think its good to hint at how the original phonetic "coming up" word, became the more nuanced magic mushroom (shroom) reference.

"trying to find records that would make perfect sense on E" → "trying to find records that would make perfect sense on E [ecstasy]".

Considering this excerpt: "although Georgiou says he was not at first interested by the image" doesn't lead anywhere I'm sceptical of its inclusion.
