I recently reverted an edit that added Roger Waters as a member of Pink Floyd from 2005-present. I looked up information that supported this and found [http://www.internetdj.com/article.php?storyid=625 this]. I'm not entirely familiar with Pink Floyd so I'm not sure if this means he is a member of the band once more or whether the new date should be mentioned. I'll leave that to others more familiar with the topic to decide. [[User:Cowman109|Cowman109]]<sup><font color="DarkGreen">[[User talk:Cowman109|Talk]]</font></sup> 22:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

What happened to that great photo with all five Floyd members, including Gilmour and Barrett?
|action5date=00:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
:It was, once again, deleted for obscure copyright concerns. This time, it was because someone asserted it was a non fair-use magazine photo, which it wasn't; it was a promotional photo widely distributed in the 60's which was downloaded from a magazine's site. No matter the source or information provided about any given band photo it always seems to get deleted eventually. - [[User:Dharmabum420|dharm]][[WP:EA|<font color="green">a</font>]][[User:Dharmabum420|bum]] 04:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

== Repetition ==


There are a suspiciously large number of references to this person's solitary article on the band (which, judging by the quotations, is utter twaddle). [[Special:Contributions/176.85.135.155|176.85.135.155]] ([[User talk:176.85.135.155|talk]]) 00:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

== Solo Work & Future Directions Article ==
I changed the Solo Work and more section from 1995-2005 back to present, for events such as Gilmour's tour and Roger Water's possibility of "The Wall" on broadway are ongoing events. Also, I removed this sentence. (David Gilmour and Rick Wright made an historic performance of Arnold Layne on Later with Jools Holland(broadcast 26 May 2006). Rick took the lead vocal in place of Syd Barrett.) Gilmour and Wright performed this as part of Gilmour's solo tour, and not as Pink Floyd. It has no relevance towards this article.

== Semi-protected edit request on 1 November 2024 ==
Why not?! Those interested with Pink Floyd would probably want to know that.


{{edit semi-protected|Pink Floyd|answered=yes}}
I agree - two of the three remaining band members performing a PF song would only not be relevant if there were a separate article about Gilmour-Wright as a duo. Otherwise we should remove the bit about Mason playing with Waters etc. etc. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] 22:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[[Special:Contributions/2601:197:E00:FC0:883B:2AC9:66EB:E645|2601:197:E00:FC0:883B:2AC9:66EB:E645]] ([[User talk:2601:197:E00:FC0:883B:2AC9:66EB:E645|talk]]) 23:02, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
:The way I see it, information on solo members' work should be kept on those members' pages (which is why I've repeatedly removed detailed information about Waters's upcoming tour), but any collaboration between two or more members is relevant (but should be kept a brief as possible). Detailed setlists and so on of Gilmour's tour isn't necessary, but the performance of Floyd's first single for the first time since Syd was in the band is of some note, and could be included. That performance was on 17 April 2006 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California, not the Jools Holland broadcast. - [[User:Dharmabum420|dharm]][[WP:EA|<font color="green">a</font>]][[User:Dharmabum420|bum]] 01:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


:Syd Barrett – lead and rhythm guitars, vocals (1965–1968) (died 2006)
Hmm, I guess that since in the future members of Pink Floyd will be collaborating together, instead of performing as a whole, there might need to be standards set on this. Items such as "Nick Mason to join Roger Waters on his tour", or "Rick Wright to join David Gilmour on his tour" would absoulutely qualify towards this article. Any studio collaborations between members of Pink Floyd I believe would qualify towards the article. However, I for one am against putting every single collaboration of any two members of Pink Floyd that may be broadcast on TV, simply because it has no lasting importance to the history of the group. The execption here would be any performance by Pink Floyd. (hence the Royal Albert Hall May 31st performance of Gilmour/Mason/Wright should be here, given the this is the most recent performance by Pink Floyd in a legal sense.) According to Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse, Arnold Layne has been played on Gilmour's tour for some of his shows. Also, Gilmour and Wright performed Wish You Were Here on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, it just simply never aired. My main concern, is that if we allow every broadcasted performance that might take place to be allowed into the article, it could very well get out of hand.

So I've noticed that Pink Floyd's 'Lyrical themes' is probably the longest Lyrical themes section I've ever seen on a Wikipedia article, much too large to merge into the Artistry (In most articles I've seen since I started here, 'Lyrical themes' is usually either a subsection of 'Artistry' or merged with 'Musical style'). It has me wondering, that since [[Pink Floyd live performances]] is its own article, and [[List of awards and nominations received by Pink Floyd]] is its own article, maybe [[Lyrical themes of Pink Floyd]] or [[Artistry of Pink Floyd]] could be their own articles as well?

== why did somebody delete the "trivia" section???? ==

????????

There's a [[Pink Floyd trivia]] article on Wiki, but this looks like an endangered species ... it has a "considered for deletion" tag.[[User:Grimhim|Grimhim]] 05:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh!I see it now;why do they want to delete something so important that it can be found on many Pink Floyd Fan Sites???--[[User:Asydwaters|asydwaters]] 13:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Go and vote to keep, everyone. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] 04:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

== Trivia on "Hey You" in ''The Wall'' (film) ==

Someone keeps adding a totally irrelevant piece of trivia about a deleted scene of "Hey You" into the article. The trivia is already in [[Pink Floyd The Wall (film)]], contains an unneeded critique of the video and audio quality of the deleted scene - not to mention it's a grammatical mess. I don't want to violate [[WP:3RR]] and the change keeps coming from different IPs. Am I the only one who thinks the article is already bloated enough without such a minor bit of trivia? - [[User:Dharmabum420|dharmabum]] 05:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you are right about "What shall we do now",Dharma.In fact its a trivial matter that the song was not included in the album but was included in the movie and the Live in Berlin concert.<math>Insert formula here</math>

==Where's the FA tag?==
The one that should say "Pink Floyd Perfect Dark is a featured article, which means that it (or a previous version) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community." I was wanting to see the nomination page to see if the issue of fair use of all those song samples came up and how it was dealt with.--[[User:SeizureDog|SeizureDog]] 19:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
:Someone removed it to tidy up the top of the page, since it's clear it was an FA when it's been a main page FA, but hadn't thought that people might want to look back at the nom. I replaced it. - [[User:Dharmabum420|dharmabum]] 19:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
