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.
Beds on a beach
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)
