Ivan Král vs Lenny Kaye

The article describes Ivan as the bass guitar player and Lenny Kaye as the guitarist of PSG. But looking at it closer showes that both kept actually fluently switching between lead guitar and bass - in studio as much as on stage.

If you look at the Rockpalast concert in 1979:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GC4ByJCbh8 (here Lenny: guitar, Ivan: bass)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2AK5eIKL8c (here Ivan: lead guitar, Lenny: bass)

etc.

So I made some tiny changes in the bio text to reflect this a little more.

But it would probably be worth of an individual sentence, since it is not a typical situation within the outfits of rock bands.

Brief description of Patti Smith for hatnote on Patty Smyth article

This article has a hatnote to direct the reader to the Patty Smyth article, in case of confusion. I added a similar hatnote to that article to direct the reader here. To do so, I had to write a short description of Patti Smith. The hatnote reads: "For the musician and visual artist associated with punk rock, see Patti Smith."

The task is to write a few words to identify Patti Smith, similar to the way that the hatnote here identifies Patty Smyth as "the lead singer of the band Scandal". I'm not completely happy with what I wrote, so perhaps an editor more knowledgeable about Patti Smith can improve the reference to her at Patty Smyth.

Born vs Origin What caused this weird convention in Wikipedia whereby anyone who made their fame in NY has to be noted as "origin" NY whereas if someone say, born in NY and who became famous in Chicago, their bio does not state "origin" in Chicago? Boy does NY have a thin skin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8500:79D4:5995:44B4:9064:3BAC (talk) 05:11, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Drug and Alcohol Use

There doesn't seem to be any mention of her drug and alcohol use when a quick look at her progression over time (and listening to her voice change) clearly shows she abused something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1405:A06E:20F3:35A5:ED41:4F5A (talk) 05:25, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Off-putting Facial Hair

This article needs a section on her off-putting facial hair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.213.142.170 (talk) 07:47, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but that's why I came to this article.... Current photos make her look like she's got fairly heavy facial hair. And what's with her eye? 209.117.8.178 (talk) 22:13, 4 October 2016 (UTC)Nobody[reply]

Double check title picture

To me the title picture shows a male singer with long hair. Can anybody verify that the picture is indeed Patti Smith? Compared to other pictures on google this seems a big change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MelchiorG (talk • contribs) 13:53, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To me there is absolutely no doubt that this is Patti Smith. Check [1] for other 2007 pics of her. --Blutgretchen (talk) 10:30, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
