I found the use of "Widely credited" somewhat contentious. Not because the source doesn't support a similar claim, but, because of it's worded within: "it was Rampling’s Shoom that effectively kicked off the acid-house craze in London". The quote doesn't regard others views and so perhaps the lead sentence should be reworded to say "some consider" or provide attribution to Michaelangelo Matos.
I also don't see why this and the following praise by Billboard are relegated to the lead. To me, they perfectly suit the legacy section--the event's legacy can be seen in the popularization of acid house.DMT biscuit (talk) 17:48, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but my problem is that she is very low profile and I don't have her nee surname. But will see how it can be rephrased. Ceoil (talk) 17:55, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"The club's name was inspired by a phrase Rampling heard in Ibiza to describe the effects of coming-up, or "rushing", on ecstasy, the club drug that became widely associated with the UK dance music scene. Rampling says that the word came from a phrase he heard from Trevor Fung on their first visit the island." → "The club's name was inspired by a phrase DJ Trevor Fung told Rampling in Ibiza to describe the effects of coming-up, or "rushing", on ecstasy, the club drug that became widely associated with the UK dance music scene."DMT biscuit (talk) 07:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ceoil: Resumming comments: "Shoom's opening night in November 1988 was titled "Klub Sch-oom",[19] but this name was shortened to "Shoom" by the second night.[20][21]" I'm sceptical of this piece of info's inclusion. It seems to be trivial in nature—akin to a pub quiz question. DMT biscuit (talk) 15:15, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not so sure as the club name was not random or because it sounded nice; it was rooted in E/LSD culture, and I think its good to hint at how the original phonetic "coming up" word, became the more nuanced magic mushroom (shroom) reference. Ceoil (talk) 21:51, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"trying to find records that would make perfect sense on E" → "trying to find records that would make perfect sense on E [ecstasy]". DMT biscuit (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Considering this excerpt: "although Georgiou says he was not at first interested by the image" doesn't lead anywhere I'm sceptical of its inclusion. DMT biscuit (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
