Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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?

Public Speaking Section[edit]

Someone removed the public speaking section, claiming it read like an advertisement. The person's entry is still there, but the message seems to be replaced by a message that the change was reverted, and the account has been blocked for disruptive editing. But the section still seems to gone. Therefore, I will restore the section. I can't see how the section could be considered commercial, and it's obviously important that it isn't—but I can possibly think of is changing the word "numerous" to many." Beyond that, I think people should make a suggestion before deleting it. Bill G. Evans (talk) 17:59, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, OK, the complaint was that it sounded like a resume. Again, I really don't know how much more factual that one sentence could sound. But I did change that word. Open to suggestions. Bill G. Evans (talk) 18:17, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Wikpedia articles are not resumes. If this person made some sort of speechification that was so important it was widely reported on, and if this person (Hilary Clinton-style?) made significant amounts of money speechifying, yeah, then maybe. But he didn't, nor did reliable sources report on this--I'm not counting the KISS MASK fanzine or whatever, and this kind of notification isn't coverage at all. This claim of being a famous speaker at colleges is also not verified by reliable sources. I understand you want your client to look good (I assume it's your client?), but you'll have to abide by our guidelines here. The man is a producer and musician, not a public speaker. Drmies (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think you were a little confused about the history of the page. Drmies removed the section about 12 hours after a long series of disruptive edits by IPs and a few registered editors was halted as a result of page semi-protection, but Drmies (a sysop) was not blocked and had nothing to do with those edits. General Ization ^Talk 19:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks GAB. Yeah, I go from blocked editor to vandal--usually it's the other way around. Wait! You're not GAB, who is GeneralizationsAreBad--you're their cousin! Y'all had me confused there. GAB, do you mean to say that General Ization is bad? Major Major Major Major is not going to like that... Drmies (talk) 02:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean, yes I saw that as lumped in with everything else. Nobody is impressed by anybody's Wikipedia page. However, pages should be complete, which is why I solicited clarification on the Talk page. Thank you for the clarification. Bill G. Evans (talk) 03:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Too long to be a stub, not long enough for B-class. The info there seems good, there's just not a lot of it. AlmightyClam (talk) 16:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
