Okay whoever said to me that adding Ton Roosendall's identity here was an act of copyright infringement, let me notify you, my Name is Kiernan Holland. Ton knows me.. And Ton should know that I maintained a third of his user support int he early stages of the development of blender. I purchased the RISC computer that blender was ported to, that permitted the porting of blender to a 64-bit platform.. I was also the one that bought the site www.blender3d.com, and later passed ownership to Ton when blender was released in open source. I guess I can regret the free of charge transfer of that address..
So if you want to slap me on the wrists for copyright infringement, go ahead.. It's bogus to assume that wikipedia is anything more than a world contributed site for common information than a encyclopedia with real integrity. I bet I could implement a wikipedia in a few months.. Let me see, a form, submit button, custom bb code, a javascript based word processor, a lookup table for link indirection, am I getting close? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rofthorax ( talk • contribs) 20:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
The article seems to be too emotional. This article should be a description of the person and his history, not a soap opera. -- Aronzak ( talk) 08:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
The inappropriate tone header is very much so justified. Here's a few examples...
These are astonishingly impartial edits that have collected dust untouched for the last three years. It seems that most, if not all, of these very personal sounding edits are from the user Margreetriphagen, who has promptly disappeared in 2009 the very month he or she showed up and began editing this sole article, and it alone.
On top of that, we have an off-topic melodramatic bashing of Wikipedia from what sounds to be a fanatical Blender supporter in this very talk page. Yes, I do understand that many of these people are new to Wikipedia, and I'm willing to meet these people halfway. But when the entire article ends up having little to do with the subject in a biographical sense and more to do with Blender's history sprinkled with weasel words, I begin to doubt the integrity of the page as a whole.
Because of this, I have added the peacock and multiple issues templates, along with proposal to merge Ton_Roosendaal with Blender_(software)#History. If people feel this is unnecessary, then I would like to hear what justifies the article as is, or if we should heavily rewrite (or potentially delete) this page.

I have one more time rephrased some areas, added new information and several new sources (I also updated the sources with dead links). If any area of the article is still using tone or style that "may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia" or that "merely promotes the subject", please name them here or correct them. If not, it should be possible to remove those two templates. -- Julian H. ( talk) 15:36, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
