[MLA] Kevin, can you please correct some of the Wikipedia page on Loudness war.

[Grimm | Eelco]

Just found one other reference, a quite weak one unfortunately. 

In http://www.bbc.co.uk/academy/technology/article/art20130717124204700
is stated: "If all programmes were made to the same target loudness, this would allow all shows to have the style of sound they want – and would also address around 40% of the BBC’s current complaints."

The exact number of complaints is not given unfortunately. Maybe the Moerman reference is better?

All the best,
Eelco
