If "commentary" style is to be removed from this article, would it also then be appropriate to remove "groundbreaking" from the reference to Nucleus, and "innovative" from the reference to Adiemus? In my view, the tone of this article is slightly hagiographic, and I was trying to balance this with an acknowledgement that Jenkins work has often polarized opinion, which I think is worth noting this in the article. 88.108.57.66 (talk) 09:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
