Band pictures in albums

Hi. In the article for Meddle it states "The gatefold contains a group photograph of the band (Floyd's last until 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason"), with the latter album also citing this fact. Now this is where I might look a bit dumb (or comfortably dumb, if you prefer...), but doesn't The Dark Side of the Moon also contain a group shot of the band? No here's my downfall - I only have the CD of the album, not the (original) vinyl release. So at the risk of already answering my question, is the text on the other two articles correct? Thanks.

No crazy diamonds around to help?! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 15:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm same as you mate, only got the CD. My father in law might have the vinyl, will have a look next time I'm there unless nobody can confirm in the meantime. Crowsus (talk) 02:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no band photo on the DSOTM LP sleeve. ♟♙ (talk) 21:10, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, no photo on the original sleeve, but the album did come with a poster which could be the source of the confusion. One of the six panels is a wide-angle stage shot, though it's hard to make the band out due to the coloured stage lighting and the distance the photo was taken from. (The other five panels are solo shots, some close-up and others artistically distorted / blurry.) You can see an image here. JezGrove (talk) 21:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Songkick

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Pink Floyd. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Template:Songkick is considered as spam, I'm not yet sure about this, but if the purpose is grabbing tour dates from WikiData or similar, then I don't expect Pink Floyd on tour anytime soon. Please remove this cruft from the #External links. Besides there are already five other WP:ELs, isn't that considered as the absolute maximum somewhere? –84.46.53.251 (talk) 18:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
