it is a bit lengthy (ver 17, i mean) - if you feel it must all go in the wiki, sub-headings to break up the text into logical portions might help.

there are some things pngs can't fix. for everything else, there's pngoptimizer.

basically, I prefer the first paragraph for wikis for bands to feature the name of the band, their genre, where they formed, when the formed, the band members (or if a fluctuating lineup, the current and/or classic lineup) and, where applicable, when the group disbanded. After that first paragraph, I don't care how long a bio is as long as its a quality bio and doesn't come from one of those insufferable street team people who delete an existing bio to put up the band's current "label bio", which barely gives any information, except about their latest record. However, there most certainly is a such thing as a too long (and a too short) bio for an artist, especially one like ABBA. Revision 17 could certainly be chopped down by a few paragraphs.

However, I'd consider the unannotated cropping edit 18 vandalism & that the useful detail lost should've been hived-off to album / track / event / tag wikis - & those movements annotated, for the edit(s).
