Thanks to both Andys for preserving what sanity I have. The Elton John/Wakeman reference really threw me as a seminal Wakeman fan. The only Mellotron I can recall on Elton John's material through about 1979 was on "Grey Seal" and if I recall correctly, Elton is credited on the liner notes as the Mellotronist. Although I haven't heard it in years, my memory of the orchestrations in question contradicted the idea that they were keyboard parts, so I'm really glad somebody said that before I had to ask the list! Also noted, the incorrect spelling of Harry "Chamberlain" in the article.

Have a look at my Elton review for a (to my knowledge) complete list of his 'Tron usage. Eight albums, if I remember correctly, including his latest.
