Birth date

Agreeing with GangstaEB that the MySpace account seems to be fake. That was my initial thought, but the comments on the page made me think twice.

The happy birthday wishes occurred on May 20, which led me to believe we had incorrectly given his D.O.B. as May 21. However, during his R.E.M. days, the band sang 'Happy Birthday' to him during the recording for MTV Unplugged on May 21, 2001. I'll revert it back to the latter date until we can confirm the correct one. - Dudesleeper 16:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crowded House

I'm going to remove the stuff about Crowded House's reunion being unlikely, since they actually have reunited, and edit that paragraph into "Waronker is currently working on Crowded House's album Time On Earth with Neil Finn and Nick Seymour."

Merge proposal

Love it when editors stick a {{merge}} tag in and then move on without stating their reasons. That aside, merging Joey Waronker (The R.E.M. years) would make this article too R.E.M.-centric, which is why the separate article exists. He was only "with" (in a touring sense, at least) R.E.M. for four years — only a short period of his overall musical career. - Dudesleeper / Talk 15:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of info in that other article then, for only 4 years, or maybe this one needs expansion. Sorry for not stating my reasoning earlier. To me, it looks like the REM years article contains overmuch, er, "fancruft", for want of a less negative word (and I'm not trying to be negative), and could be usefully trimmed, then merged in here. However, if the other article is the result of consesus, then apologies for being hasty, and I'm not going to argue against that. Regards Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 15:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Joey Waronker and R.E.M.

These articles should be merged, as there is no reason for Joey Waronker and R.E.M. to be a separate article. Not only are both pages rather short, but the subject of Joey Waronker's career with R.E.M. isn't a topic that necessarily requires its own page for focus.

R.E.M. Section

Can someone please revise this or something? Its clearly some 8th graders shitty report on him; too many fancy-spangled adjectives that don't add to the article, and just make it awkward to read.Thakmere (talk) 18:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whole page actually. Wikipedia is not a fan page, this is full of waaaay too much extra stuff. No one (no one) needs to know that he has a crest on his drum kit, let alone a picture of it (where do you get a drawing of that anyway?), or that he has a freaking pit bull and over 9000 cats. If you feel that you MUST include menial information do so in a subtle way, don't make a subcategory. And compared to the rest of the bull shit here, his personal life section is pathetic. I have to find a way to put this page on a 'need of desperate attention' list...Thakmere (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
