Newly Edited Article

Hello to any tiesto fans reading this page. i've edited the page vigourously for grammar and information. it lacked cohesion and i didn't think it really represented tiesto's quality as an artist, so as a huge fan and a good university writer i edited the page almost like it was new. hopefully everyone likes it! --154.5.80.90 07:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Who sings "A tear in the open"?

Could anyone tell me please who is the one that sings in Tiesto's melody A tear in the open? --Locke 23:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I believe he used a sample from some other source. I think it tells you where on the liner notes for the CD. If not there, I'll try to recall where. --Dragnilar 12:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation

As far as I can tell, his DJ name is pronounced: tchesto. I can't figure out IPA, but I think it would be useful to put on this page. Also, I have no clue how to say the dude's first name.--Slashdevslashtty 03:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Over here in The Netherlands it is pronounced TEE-esto

And his first name is pronounced "Tice", more or less :P --NoobX — Preceding undated comment added 13:51, May 15, 2006

Thanks for the response. The announcer in a techno song pronounced it the way I described above. What you're describing is how an American would pronounce it, except with slightly different emphasis. Still, the IPA key would be useful. I get confused when they start talking about things like "voiced labialized palatal approximant".--Slashdevslashtty 05:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

As NoobX said, it is pronounced Tea-S-Toe. Numerous members of the forum on his official site can confirm this, and I do believe at a time the FAQ on his site confirmed this as well.--Dragnilar 13:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

it's Tea-S-Toe, thats why there are the dots above the "e" in tiësto - they indicate that the e is pronounced separately. 84.114.202.215 13:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Are you all stupid? if his name is pronnunced Tea-S- toe, the S is pronunced by itself!!!Australian Jezza 21:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

TEE-esto is a much better pronounciation then Tea-S-Toe. I can tell, because i'm dutch and i listen to the radio alot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.194.170.62 (talk) 18:35, November 16, 2006 (UTC)

TEE-esto is incorrect. "Esto" is virtually impossible to pronounce without using two syllables, therefore it's best described as "tee-ESS-toe", or other variants. The emphasis in American dialect should be on the es of Tiesto, not sure about any other dialect. 64.135.205.238 23:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Unofficial Releases/Changes 8.12.06

I removed Forbidden Paradise 1,2,8-11 from the discography. The reason being was that Tiesto did not take part in the early and later part of the FP series. Those compilations were done by different DJs. For verification, please see this website: Guardian Angel/Basic Beat Dragnilar 10:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The changes below were from 8.7.06 The following releases added to Tiesto's solo artist discography are not "official" releases. The Best & New 2005 (2005) was a compilation of tracks released only in Russia by a label other than Tiesto's. As for Heiniken thirst, as far as I can tell that is just a bootleg. I have moved these releases to a section titled "Bootlegs/Unofficial Releases" for the time being. Also "In My Memory - Remixes" was only a single and was not a full fledged remix album for In My Memory. It only featured remixes for the song "In My Memory" itself. I can understand however how someone would have made this mistake since the title of the relase seems to imply it is a remix album for the ALBUM In My Memory. Anyway, I have moved the single "In My Memory -Remixes" to the singles section.

A remix album for "In My Memory" does exist however, but it is found as the second disk on the special edition releases of In My Memory. Perhaps a note could be made of the special edition?

Nyana was moved to the compilations section since it was blatently a compilation. It is NOT an artist album.

Also,

If you look underneath his mix compilations listings I added ISOS 6 as an upcoming release. The fliers for the album have already started circulating in other countries, and if you check www.insearchofsunrise.net, it also says the album is forthcoming.

And finaly, I believe that Silence should be noted somewhere in his Discography. I went ahead and added a note for it in the singles section. Perhaps we should add a "remixes/appears on" section similar to Discogs? Dragnilar 14:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Naming

According to wikipedia naming convention, this article should be named Tiesto and not Tijs Verwest. Any thoughts? Themindset 04:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Done. —Centrx→talk • 18:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be "Tiësto" (pronounced Tea-S-Toe like Dragnilar suggests above) instead of "Tiesto" (which should sound like Tea-Stoe if pronounced by a Dutch person). Besides correct pronounciation, Tiësto's albums and merchandise also feature an ë in his name. Rafert 00:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. I'll ask for a move on Wikipedia:Requested_moves. -- Sander 13:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I personally think that since the name has the umlat above the E it should be pronounced Tea esh to but what do i know —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.243.223.130 (talk) 17:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

Maybe the picture of Tijs is copyrighted

I think the picture shown on the right side of the page should be changed, because it has a dvd-video symbol in the bottom right hand side of it, so it must be a part of a dvd cover and it means that's a copyrighted material. My 2 cents. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.112.214.196 (talk) 23:03, August 10, 2006 (UTC)

It is, but the image is tagged with the appropriate tag. Click on it ;) Rafert 00:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page

"His 4th album In Search of Sunrise series contains some of the more artistically worthy trance records and is mixed by Tiësto so well it releases the listener into the warmth and energy of Ibiza and Latin America." This business about "warmth and energy of Ibiza and Latin America" is highly POV. This is an encyclopedia guys, not a fan page, but I'm not going to start an edit war. Do what you want. -anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.155.121.17 (talk) 23:11, August 12, 2006 (UTC)

Death hoax

I removed the accusation 'the rumors created by Henry Williams [citation needed]', it was added by 82.15.230.122 (talk · contribs) of which this is the only contribution. Tinus 23:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

What is Commercial Trance?

The commercial trance blurb in the beginning is strange...

What is it?

The Ronin 18:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Commercial trance is trance music that tends to have a large commercial following (E.G. Tiësto, Lasgo, Cascada, Oakenfold, etc.) 24.13.93.171 19:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Career Section Looks Messy? (Flagged for Revision)

The Career section looks a little haphazard IMO. It doesn't read very smoothly and it looks like people have just been tacking on information as it arises on his official site. I think it could be cleaned up so that it could read in a more conventional manner. Anyone agree? --Dragnilar 01:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I definitely agree with all your points. It definitely does not read very smoorthly, especially towards the end of the section, which just is a collection of events of Tiesto's life. The sentences lack transition between each other. Since I believe that this section requires a major clean-up/rewrite, I have flagged the section for revision. If I have time, I will look into this section carefully and look how to improve it. Any suggestions? Ionstorm 18:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I have looked at this section now and have reworked it a bit. I removed unneccessary details. However, the page is far from being done. Any edits would be appreciated. Ionstorm 09:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Dispute ?

Can someone fill me in on what the dispute is? (Cloud02 18:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC))

I think there are some notes about it in #Newly_Edited_Article, but as I can tell things pointed out there are no longer true so it seems to me that that {{npov}} can be removed. --Drundia 04:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

If noone has any problem with it, I'm going to remove the NPOV tag. Tev 16:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
