wtf Wilder?

For the moment, I'll set aside the obvious (e.g., that despite an impressive list of sources there are so many unsupported statements throughout).

Under Clarke departs, Wilder joins (1981–1982), I read

Alan Wilder… was hired in early 1982, initially on a trial basis as a touring member.

then a few words after that

Miller informed Wilder that he was not needed for the recording… of the band's second studio album, on which they began work in July 1982.

As the timeline indicates he didn't join DM until late 1983, something is amiss.

logic gaps

This is likely endemic to any discussion of recording artists, but start it here. The article lead states

they have sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

No effort is made to distinguish between records (which category includes singles and EPs) and LPs and record albums (which includes two- and three-disc sets).

(I should also note that the "100 million" claim is made three times in the article, which excited arm-waving repetition seems to flag fanboy influence, which in turn often means slipshod (even dishonest) sourcing.)

Seymour Stein

Seymour Stein has said in several places in recent interviews (and probably in his autobiography, haven't read it) that he saw a headline in Melody Maker, "Daniel Miller Signs A Band Who Isn't Daniel Miller", and immediately flew to the UK on a Concorde to see Depeche Mode play that night, afterwards buying their US rights for Sire on the spot. It's a fun story, should be sourced and put into this article, you think? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
