Top

This article has been rated as Top-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

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?

Errors?

The article says that Waters was inducted (with Pink Floyd) into the U.S. and UK Rock and Roll Halls of Fame in 1996. If my (admittedly feeble) memory serves me correctly, Pink Floyd was enshrined in the UK Hall of Fame much later; 2005 or 2006? Also, it says that The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking deals with his failed marriage to Judy Trim. I've always thought that those songs dealt with Carolyne Christie. This is evidenced by the time-period of the recording, the fictionalized versions of Harry and India who appear in the songs (while Waters and Trim had no children together), and the liner-notes of the album, which say: "For Carolyne".

Nice catches, Joe. The UK induction was in 2005 and the cited source does not mention Trim or Christie. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:53, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BLP vio

The change I made to the article corrected a grossly out of date section. Its reversion is a serious BLP vio. I hope it's obvious why, but I can explain further if need be. No further reversions to the old version can be made--this is as close to an absolute as WP policy gets. IronDuke 02:37, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
