Can someone edit a Wikipedia page..?

This is on the Wikipedia page for the Schindler's List soundtrack:

"Theme from Schlindler's List

Track 1, "Theme from Schlindler's List" was adapted from the first movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8, the same motif used in the theme from the movie "Enemies at the Gate." "

This is not true. There is a slight resemblance, but 'adapted from...' is stretching it.

Oh God, that's annoying. I hate it when "fans" do that......stumbling onto some random similariy and touting it as adaptation or rip-off or whatever.

Yes, one can edit Wikipedia pages. You only need to sign up.

The Theme From Schindlers List would later be reworked to Hedwigs Theme!

I've never been aware of a similarity, can somebody post a link/timestamp? Now I"m curious.

[ComposerEthan 24]

Schindler's list sounds like the B section of Hedwig's Theme, if I'm not mistaken?

Around 6:50 to 7:30:

It's one of the most stretched comparisons ever made. Really.

Hah!! This is my favorite symphony of all time, played it, heard it many times live. Never noticed the "similarity"....???

[Thor 9,362]

Did someone remove the comment already? I can't see it. If not, let me know. I'll remove it.

[Maurizio 6,913]

I'll hear it live for the first time at the end of this year. It will be played here in Milan for the first time in 27 years. Can't wait!

If the symphony is not familiar to you, I suggest couple of hearings from CD to get to know this madness...

"Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving." - G.Mahler

[Maurizio 6,913]

I know the symphony quite well. That's why I'm excited to hear it live

[indy4 160]

That's defintiely a major stretch.

In a related story, "Hymn to the Fallen" is based on the theme from The Flintstones. . . .

You know, i know some of you live Katheryn Kalinaks book, but its full of stuff like! She told me once that she goes on wikipedia often and "edits" pages like that. Maybe it was her.

[Thor 9,362]

Really? I have her book SETTLING THE SCORE, but there isn't much in terms of obscure similarity references there.

[WilliamsStarShip2282 327]

I took one of her classes once, she's full of 'em!

It really annoys me but the reality is people always say such and such sounds like such and such. I think stylistically JW is very similar to Wagner and Holst at times. But then again I think this is an intention on his part. Has anyone noticed the signature edition of War Horse says something about an homage to Pery Grainger, Vaugn Williams, Holst etc?

Anyway 4 seconds of this piece sound like Schindlers list. That is such a stretch it is not funny!! The whole feel and tone is different as well it sounds like the Bach St John Passion or something.
