Pink Floyd

This redirect is within the scope of WikiProject Pink Floyd, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Pink Floyd on Wikipedia. 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 articles

This redirect 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?

Article created / split

This article was previously merged with Masters of Rock, but has now been split off into its own article. Some items left behind on the Masters of Rock talk page pertain to this album. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 15:19, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fake edition

There are a lot of fake editions of this album, with different tracklist. Look here: ((in Italian)) Illustrated guide to the unofficial albums, counterfeits and fake, Fake The Best of the Pink Floyd (1) and Fake The Best of the Pink Floyd (2). I corrected the wrong trackilist, with the correct one --Kuviz (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC) Here in english --Kuviz (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh what a disappointment! I (re)created this article a year and a half ago when I saw "Best of" and "Masters of Rock" combined into one article ("MOR"), and thought they were different records. Based on your info, I think they should be combined again. The question is, which title should be used? "Best of" is the original, but "Masters" is more common, and is the name most users would look for. Perhaps it should be "The Best of the Pink Floyd / Masters of Rock", if that doesn't go against naming conventions. (It probably does, but this could be a justified "ignore the rules" exception.) The article should definitely be updated to mention the counterfeits (though I don't think its track list should be shown, as that could infer an advertisement for the counterfeit; bootlegs are not supposed to be listed at WP for the same reason, even though some editors are keen to include them.) Currently the article's prose does not match the track list, so that will have to change if nothing else does. I'll ask for comment on the artile title suggestion at the Pink Floyd Wikiproject. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 07:51, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
