The article needs some serious clean up

This article is a bit of a mess.Jacknife737 21:36, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hope I helped

I put in some new sections (even though I didn't sign in). I'm not sure if the wording of the titles are adequate, but I think it's an improvement.Scottswanger

Biography

I cleaned up the article putting the entire career (Green Day and The Influents) in an only section.

Clean Up

Still needs some cleanup because of the personal dates —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kongr43gpen (talk • contribs) 17:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality

There is a little box with info which seems to be correct until "Sexuality: Trisexual". So he's into animals or shemales or sumtin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.13.157 (talk) 22:27, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nitpicking

Ok, couple of nits to pick here:

1. Do we really need a whole section just for one tattoo?

2. Why is the personal information in such small text?

3. What happened to the picture?

I will do all the work. I would just appreciate it if anyone could help me with any of the above questions. Rock drum (talk) 17:17, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Does anybody have a free image of Jason White? This article could really do with it. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 18:10, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Music Videos

Someone said he was in 4 previous videos before 21 Guns and said they excluded the live music videos but included 21 Guns in the examples. I fixed it but am still confused. They list "Last of the American Girls" as a music video but I don't think there is a video for that song. I din;t know why there would be but if there is can someone clear that up for me and the article?Jason Shew (shewy) (talk) 00:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you'd be right in thinking that "Last of the American Girls" has not yet been released a music video, but, it will be soon. http://tweetphoto.com/10412596 Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth member of Green Day

I noticed today that someone used the Green Day Authority as a source. According to that source, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day said that Jason White is an official member of the band. My understanding is that the Green Day Authority is a fan website of the band, and I'm not sure that a source from there on its own qualifies as a reliable source. Also, I'm a member of Green Day's official fan club Idiot Club. I have not seen any official announcement from the band on the Green Day and Idiot Club websites saying Jason White is an official member. I would think a band would announce any new additions. --Jesant13 (talk) 22:21, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The information is sourced and it's not coming from any fansite, it's from Guitar World Magazine. Also i don't see the point of why the whole section is "disputed" under your own point of view. Seems like you just don't like Jason.

I looked at the source and discovered that someone had changed it. When I created this section and added the disputed section template in the article, Green Day Authority was still the source used.

I don't dislike Jason. Personally I'm against anybody other than Billie, Mike, and Tre being members of Green Day. That is not the main reason I created this section and added the template. I did so because I feel there is no conclusive evidence that White is a member. No announcement was made on the Green Day and Idiot Club websites. On Rolling Stone's website, they don't say White is an official member. The same goes for the Green Day page in the iTunes Store. Now I'm well aware that White appears in some photos that come along with the first album of the trilogy, and that he is not put as an additional member. However, I think that's because of the amount of work that he contributed to the album. As for the source used, at this point I think it is possible that Armstrong either didn't actually make that comment, or that the comment was taken out of context. --Jesant13 (talk) 18:13, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When Foo Fighters added Pat Smear as their fifth member, they never made an official announcement, there's no need to do that, and seems like Jason is now an official member since he's credited in ¡Uno!'s album along with the rest of the band, but i think we should wait a bit for now until we add information about Jason being an official member. For now i suggest we could call him "The Fourth member" as Billie did in that Rock Magazine interview. The band has the final say, not us. 187.151.123.199 (talk) 23:03, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
