Article should be centred around the details of John Norum's life. There is a separate article for the band Europe and details about that band go in their article and not here. Further corrections and copy edits will be required to improve this article including the removal of any material not directly related to Norum himself. The article reads like it was stolen from an external source and will have to be reported to Wikipedia administrators for investigation. The English grammar usage is not good and the article will also be posted at the Wikipedia help board to prompt for other editors to assist in removing all the superfluous content and to get the quality of the prose up to encyclopedic standards.

this article was almost entirely written by me, as well as the John Norum's biography pages in my website www.norumaniacs.com All infos were checked. I've notify it in the sourches paragraph at the end of the article. John's professional life related to the band Europe has the same importance of his life related to the solo project. This is the WHOLE biography of an Artist, and I've summarized a lot the infos regarding the band Europe since the Europe article already exists. I'll do my best to edit this article respecting the Wiki standards. English grammar was checked as well, if errors are found it's good to edit, keeping a polite tone. Thanks. I totally don't agree with the notation about the "personally invested tone" used in the article writing... It's offensive, considering the huge work behind it to check all the info related to his life and works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MusicIsMyLove (talk • contribs) 11:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed his nationality to Swedish due to the fact he was only 1 year old when he and his family moved to Sweden. I think it is more accurate if it reads "Swedish hard rock guitarist of Norwegian background" than it did with the previous version. Norum (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed this to Norwegian/Swedish. I don't know how things were in 2009 (and the nationality seems to have been changed since you wrote this), but for want of significant contrary evidence I see no reason not to follow Norum's own stated preference at the moment.Sirion123 (talk) 00:10, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is interesting that Fender Stratocaster is listed in equipment, and not the Gibson Les Paul. In both pictures he is playing a Les Paul. Donpayette (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
