Steve Took information pages are written by Fee Warner who is the web mistress for www.Steve-Took.co.uk. Steve Took died in 1980 and his contribution to music has been significantly and systematically overlooked and dismissed for years. The aim of the web site is to show that although he is written off as a 'talentless loser' by many Bolan people he was far from talentless and commercial success is not the only type of success.

Ok. The above was posted by IP 80.3.64.7, which resolves to cache4-brtn.server.ntli.net, belonging to ntlworld.com. The e-mail address given at http://www.steve-took.co.uk/ for Fee ends in @ntlworld.com. I guess we can believe the statement above and assume Fee authorizes re-licensing of her text under the GFDL.

I have removed what appears to be original research from the article, it claims to be from personal interviews by the author. There's also quite a lot of oppinion here, breaching the neutrality policy. Alun 04:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wallis in particular was very impressed with Steve and a strong creative and social bond formed between the two. "He was like nobody else I'd ever seen before, he was a fucking pixie!" Wallis recalled. "I remember sitting in this living room with this cross legged pixie, with his little beard, covered in velvet and dripping talismen, crucifixes and scarves and talking like nobody I'd ever seen before. I was completely and utterly mad about him from the moment I first saw him." (from personal interviews by the author). For his part, Wallis was (and still is) an exceptional lead guitarist very much in the virtuoso mould, but with far too much energy to fall into the fretboard-bore category.

I have radically culled the article, which was full of unsourced opinion, whimsy and fancruft. Please use Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Reliable sources and, as Alun above notes, neutrality, as the bedrock of future editing. This is an encyclopedia, not a memorial fansite. Thanks,
