Pink Floyd FA‑class High‑importance

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Pink Floyd, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Pink Floyd on Misplaced Pages. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Pink FloydWikipedia:WikiProject Pink FloydTemplate:WikiProject Pink FloydPink Floyd FA This article has been rated as FA-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale. High This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale. This article was a past project collaboration. To-do list: Fair use Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use). Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done). Articles Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub. Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status. See COTM for monthly collabs. Project building Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages. Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project. If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list. This article does not yet have a related to do list. If you can think of any ways to improve the article, why not create one?

Next Album

I was reading through the Floyd chronology tonight, and got to Final Cut, and the "next album" was Momentary Lapse. I edited this to reflect Works. The reason I did this was that previous complations were in the sequence too (A Nice Pair & Relics). Given those were in the sequence, then Works should be as well, so I altered the previous next sequences on Final Cut, Works, & Momentary Lapse to reflect this.

It's very disappointing to see another, experience, editor repeatedly removing cited material (and thereby restoring an uncited fact contradicted by that cited material), apparently because he merely disagrees with the formatting of that cited material. Such behaviour is unacceptable. If the formatting is not to his taste, he is of course welcome to change it, without removing useful content.

With regard to this article, please cite things correctly and consistently, as required by FA criteria. I will not allow an article I spent many hours working on to lapse into a badly-written mess, as it once was. If you want to add things to the article, fine, that's great and I welcome your additions, but the onus must be on the person adding said material to make sure it's done properly and with due regard to the standards it met when it was promoted to FA. I have no intention of running around tidying up other people's edits, especially those of an experienced and valued content editor like yourself. Parrot of Doom 19:50, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Get off your high horse. You've been here long enough to know how Misplaced Pages works; and that's not how you describe it above. You don't get to remove cited content because you don't agree with how it's formatted, FAC or not. You're not protecting this article, as your edit summary arrogantly proclaimed; you're preventing it from being improved. And that's disruptive. In blindly reverting, you've restored a challenged, uncited statement. That should be removed; and the material you removed should be restored. You also reverted the addition of a note on the band photos in DSotM. The article is now again misleading, giving the false impression that the AMLoR packaging was the first to feature them since Meddle in 1971, not DSotM in 1973. Mention of the pictures in DSotM should be restored. You also removed the fact that the picture shows Gilmour and Mason; we cannot assume that readers will know them from their faces; nor indeed that they can see the photograph at all. This too should be restored. Additionally, you removed an entire section on Gilmour;s recent views on the album. And you're in breach of WP:3RR - I'm giving you the opportunity to revert yourself, rather than me reporting you. Your call.

Take your threats and shove them where the sun doesn't shine. If you want to add material here, do it properly, or lose it. Parrot of Doom 16:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

You have again reverted a set of unrelated changes, wholescale., You should know by now that this is unacceptable; as are the instructinos you seem to think you may issue. Please address each of the issues I raised above. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I will do no such thing. If you want to add information to this featured article, do it properly and help maintain its featured status. I am sick of people expecting me to run around with a sweeping brush, correcting their mistakes. I do not have the time. Parrot of Doom 18:50, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
