IDeftones1234 (talk) 09:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC) would like to change a mistake in the "spinoff" section. stone sour is not the spinoff of slipknot. Deftones1234 (talk) 09:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Band just announced that Craig Jones is no longer in Slipknot. Slipknot on Twitter: "https://twitter.com/slipknot/status/1666543192903389185" / Twitter Lyeuhm (talk) 20:44, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zac Baird

As with Pfaff back in the day, please wait with adding anyone as a confirmed member until there's absolute proof. A random news website citing some random reddit post about some two letters is certainly not enough proof, if compared to the proof we had for Pfaff before he was revealed.

In the membership timline, move Josh Brainard above Jim Root to show consistency in the order of which member replaced previous. 96.84.212.133 (talk) 21:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The rest of the timeline seemed to be ordered in this general manner. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 03:11, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change name of "Founding Member" Anders Colsefni to Nathan Jonas "Joey" Jordison because Joey Jordison co-founded Slipknot, not Colsefni. AmarJC2008 (talk) 03:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colsefni was there in the earliest days when they wrote the song "Slipknot". He is a founding member. Binksternet (talk) 04:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Eloy Casagrande

Add Eloy Casagrande as current touring drummer, confirmed by their show on 4/26/24. 2606:8E80:5008:4C00:C872:CD94:5AD1:36EB (talk) 18:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2606:8E80:5008:4C00:C872:CD94:5AD1:36EB: You need a reliable source for this or it's not getting added. Confirmation at a show or social media is not a source. Wikipedia goes by what sources like Loudwire or Metal Hammer say for example. Bowling is life (talk) 20:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tattoos on right arm are the same. It’s 100% Eloy Casagrande.

Those are not good sources. Reddit? Seriously? We need articles from reliable publications. Bowling is life (talk) 11:13, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s a photo of the drummer, doesn’t matter where it comes from. Insomniacsdream (talk) 15:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any articles confirming he is the new drummer? Neither of the sources you added are acceptable sources according to Wikipedia guidelines. No speculation or rumors, actual confirmation by reliable sources is what we need. Bowling is life (talk) 15:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't ignore the message on the page. Don't add any new member until there is an official confirmation. Seelentau (talk) 18:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eloy Casagrande, the former drummer of Sepultura has been officially revealed as the touring drummer for Slipknot on their latest post on Instagram @slipknot as of 4/29/2024 at around 7 pm pst. Crumdies (talk) 02:17, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. We should wait for WP:SECONDARY sources to comment. Binksternet (talk) 03:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What? Why not? Last I checked, a band's official social media was considered acceptable sourcing as long as the writing specified such a case. Obviously it could be replaced by better sources later. mftp dan ^oops 03:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
