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.

Hi! On which bootleg a man yells "I'm scared"? I'd love to hear it 83.30.165.31 (talk) 12:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm a little surprised to see a notability challenge on this article, threatening to remove it or merge the info with the album's article. This article is not a stub, and contains enough information to justify it's existence, I believe. Merging this info into the More album article would introduce clutter.

Currently, every Pink Floyd song has an article. I can imagine someone might think this is unnecessary, and wants to pick just one to delete for now, as an example. A better choice could have been made. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 14:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to know what are the actual "Cymbaline" lyrics that differ from original motion picture soundtrack? I've listened to that part many many times, but could not decipher it.

Don't know the answer, but this isn't the place to discuss it. Article talk pages are for discussing improvements that could be made to the article, not for discussions about the subject, and lyrics cannot be quoted at Wikipedia for copyright reasons. You might have better luck asking at a Pink Floyd fansite. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 12:24, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I chaged the genre from Psychedelic rock to Folk rock, Psychedelic folk, and progressive folk like these sources say http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/discography/more/ and http://monkeybastardsv20.blogspot.com/2009/01/pink-floyd-lost-years_14.html What the others of wikipedians think? --Italodal (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

You need to state your verifiable references... propose genre changes on the talk page (not declare them)... and wait for discussion and consensus before tampering with the genre field of any article on Wikipedia. Your links all fail WP:RS The Real Libs-speak politely 18:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Blogs are definitely not reliable sources; fansites are also not regarded as acceptable (necessarily). Regarding this particular article, your change seems to be taking the previous genre and breaking it down into 3 parts. This is not necessary. We should only list more than one genre if the song actually falls into several distinct categories. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 00:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

In case of this song, I think we must change the genre to Folk Rock or Progressive Rock or even Progressive folk. The problem with this song is it falls in very diferent genres. The song uses nylon string guitar, bass, piano, drumset, bongos, and Farfisa organ, some of this instruments characterize the Folk rock genre. But the song also has a progressive development so its falls in progressive music too. In other hand, some parts are psychedelic. In my opinion the best genre choince is Progressive folk. I waiting the opinion of the others. Sorry for my bad English, it ins't my primary language.--Italodal (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm opposed to "progressive folk" because this is not a recognized genre, even if someone did create a Wikipedia article for it. We should stick to common genres. While I agree there is a strong folk element to other songs on this album, I think this one is in a more general pop music style. The instrumentation does not take away from its being a rock song, and it's simple enough that it doesn't need to be labelled "progressive". I feel the current genre is correct. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
