| Sadly, the fact that it's a shared Comcast IP makes it difficult to talk the admins into blocking the IP for any notable length of time. You could note on the IP's talk page that posts coming from that IP signed "Dragong4" are clearly from a banned user name, but that would only make them stop using the signature once they noticed it, rather than giving up. Best to just keep an eye on any posts coming from the IP address - they've caused enough disruption that I'm sure they're on many vandal patrollers' IP lists, and folks like thee and me can keep an eye for the more subtle disturbances on our favourite bands.

| == Copying text == | |||
| Copying anything from an external source, even if the source is named, isn't acceptable unless the text is licensed appropriately. Sometimes text from the 1911 encyclopedia britannica will be used, because it's public domain, and in rare cases an author will release his/her work with a free license compatible with the ]. Normally though, anything copied from another website is a copyright violation and must be reverted. In this case, not only is it a copyright violation, it's using a primary source, which is further frowned upon. To properly improve that section, one would need to consult a biography (preferably print) not written by B.B. King, and would have to incorporate information from there into the article (not copying it though).

| I have received a message for "vandalism" : No, I have only edit a fake information. The list of Best Selling Artists in this encyclopedia is completely fake, based on unverified claims. I'm working for the SNEP (the French equivalent to the RIAA in USA) and I'm pointing out worldwide cumulative albums sales for each artists. I have only edit the list of best selling artist with realistic sales figures, not like those figures which still online at the moment which are not at all true.] 19:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :NOTE: The Anon IP did not actually edit any information, but simply added the word ''''FAKE'''' to many of the cited entries. There are proper ways to edit/correct Misplaced Pages articles...that certainly isn't one of them. User received a test warning from me.

| == Collective nouns in UK usage == | |||
| I don't believe that is entirely correct. , an organisation of the British Council, states that "in British English, singular words like family, team, government, which refer to groups of people, can be used with ''either'' singular or plural verbs and pronouns". | |||
| It also goes on to state that "Singular forms are more common when the group is seen as an impersonal unit" and gives the following examples: | |||
| *"''My firm '''was''' founded in the 18th century.''" | |||
| *"''The average British '''family has''' 3.6 members. '''It is''' smaller and richer than 50 years ago''." | |||
| Also at ]: ''In British English, collective nouns can be treated as either singular or plural depending on the context. For example, "the team is in the dressing room" refers to the team as an ensemble, whilst "the team are fighting amongst themselves" refers to the team as individuals.'' | |||
| It is clear that in the ] article, the collective noun "Led Zeppelin" is refering to the band as an ensemble, not as individuals acting independently. Because using the plural verb for some collective nouns is more common in the UK, Brits tend to colloquially err towards that trend, but it is still "proper British grammar" to use the singular when refering to a group as an ensemble. | |||
| Also, the intro is the only paragraph where this (mis)usage occurs. The singular is used in every other instance in the article.--] 21:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I wasn't suggesting an edit war. Far from it, I was just trying to convey my understanding of the proper usage. I'm totally open to further edification if I am wrong. (However, if I am wrong, many pages here need to be changed, including style pages.) I was aware of the rule British subject-->British English but it is my contention that it is ungrammatical even in "proper" British English, although it is admittedly somewhat common/acceptable in colloquial British usage. And thanks for the "heads-up" on that disruptive user. I, too, am a big fan and keep the page on my watch list only to revert vandals, before today I hadn't made a single edit to the content. I'll try to ignore him as you advise. Regards.--] 22:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == No problem... and a wow. == | |||
| Wow, you were at the 77/07/06 Montreal show? Amazing, part of the biggest slice of Pink Floyd history. I have a terrific recording of that concert (although only in 192kbps MP3, I ditched the FLACs during a desperate hard drive crash), much better than the widely available "Azimuth Coordinator" recorder. If you're interested we can work out a way to get it to you, . | |||
| I was, sadly, only three years old during that concert, and my first experience with Floyd wouldn't come until the AMLoR tour. I'm looking forward to seeing Roger in October down in Seattle. | |||
| Maybe you can answer a question for me... I've always heard conflicting stories about the spitting incident. Supposedly, it happened at the end of the first set, at the end of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)". You can hear Roger in the concert recordings, saying to somebody, "Come on boy, all is forgiven! C'mere! Come on boy, good boy!" and so on during the closing minutes of the song. He continues with this for a bit, sometimes making some of his weird "ahhh-ahh-ahh" screechy gutteral noises. Legend says that this was Roger calling the crazed fan up across the security netting before spitting in his face. | |||
| The conflicting bit is that this story often also says that Gilmour was disgusted with this and went off to watch the rest of the concert from the sound board. However, Gilmour is clearly present throughout the second set (''Wish You Were Here'') and supposedly only went down to the soundboard during the improvised third encore after "Us and Them", a blues jam with only Snowy White on guitar. | |||
| Did you see or infer enough from that night to remember exactly when the spitting incident occurred? It was obviously hard to see from most places in the stadium so I'd understand if you don't, but the story has so much legend around it it's hard to get a reliable answer. | |||
| Sorry this turned into a bit of an essay, but it's been nagging at me for years. Thanks for joining the Wikiproject. If you see anyone else you think might be interested, feel free to drop an invitation on their talk page. Just place this template on their page: | |||
