Roger Waters

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 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. Cowman109^Talk 22:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the way that media outlet (and many others) phrased the Live 8 appearance, it's very clear on the official Pink Floyd and Roger Waters webpages that Roger appeared with Floyd as a guest at Live 8, and did not officially rejoin the band. - dharm a bum 20:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo??? =

What happened to that great photo with all five Floyd members, including Gilmour and Barrett?

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. - dharm a bum 04:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's bullshit. Is there any other pictures from that very short era of the band--I know that they must be obscure, but there must be one out there.

Yes,that's utter nonsense,any fan of Pink Floyd knows that photo is not copyright;and its the only one with all 5 members apart from other 2 photos thats being used by all.We want it back here.---asydwaters 13:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Popular Ref. to Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd,the name of the band,titles of the songs,names of the albums and band members have been featured in many popular culture media. '''MAD magazine''':The Super Special Issue #106 part of sub subseries title "Collector's Series No. #11" U.S. edition printed in August 1995 featured the "'''The Wall'''" cover of white bricks with black outlines on its "Contents" page.The phrase "All in all ,Its just Another schtick on The Wall" appeared in bold type in between the list of table of contents.There are many instances where the Pink Floyd have been used as in-joke by the artists and writers of Mad magazine.--asydwaters 07:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

The section on the Gilmour led band has lots of duplication/repetition. It needs editing. -- Beardo 09:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide some specifics? - dharmabum 08:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gilmour led bands????I know only of Joker's Wild and Pink Floyd that David Gilmour has lead.---asydwaters 13:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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. Tkd73 29 May 2006

Why not?! Those interested with Pink Floyd would probably want to know that.

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. -- Beardo 22:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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. - dharm a bum 01:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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. Tkd73 01:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Publius Enigma

Is it worthwhile adding information concerning the Publius Enigma phenomenon? See http://folk.uio.no/ericsp/ for more info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Draven5 (talk • contribs)

There's already an article covering it, titled Publius Enigma. -- Longhair 10:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and with the same link too.--asydwaters 06:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Album Cover Artworks?

Where is the in-lenght topic that was unusually bright and good on The Album Cover Artworks on Pink Floyd.Earlier it was under the section "Images OF Pink Floyd".?---asydwaters 15:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.Grimhim 05:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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???--asydwaters 13:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

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? - 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. $Insertformulahere$ [reply]

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.--SeizureDog 19:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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. - dharmabum 19:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
