Mislabel 1

Does anyone know who the artist is on "Circle Twist" and "Blow Top". It's not R&tR, that I know. 82.181.94.185 (talk) 10:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced claim. I removed it. --Guy Macon (talk) 01:41, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mislabel 2

There seems to be some form of (perhaps mistaken) pro-Doors editing happening to the article every once in a while. The consensus amongst all involved (seemingly even the band itself) is the singles plus the demo are Rick & the Ravens stuff. The Doors didn't exist yet back then. Perhaps some fan might have better info. If so, please post. 82.181.94.185 (talk) 10:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Due to ongoing edit warring I believe I'm forced to request semi-protection for this page. It does seem both excessive and somewhat ridiculous, but I see no other way to proceed. The issue, of course, is the continuing revert to The Doors, instead of the referenced and verifiable Rick & the Ravens as the band that recorded the "1965 demo". The change is continuously done with neither references, citations nor sources. Please discuss, ok? --Tirolion (talk) 06:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite repeated invitations to discussion regarding the continuous edit warring, meaning the incessant reverting of the Rick & the Ravens demo to a Doors demo, no discussion has emerged to date. The current flavour of the month seems to be not The Doors, thankfully, but an even more bizarre "doors origins", despite there existing a wealth of references, studio logs, tapes, even receits with the name Rick & the Ravens as the client for the Pacific demo. Please discuss, ok? (Tirolion, without signing in) --82.181.94.185 (talk) 21:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now the "doors origins" has changed to (if possible) a more bizarre "doors early days that recorded acetate". Please, whomever is single-purpose editing the article, could you at least man up and discuss the issue? Pretty please, with cherry on top? --Tirolion (talk) 16:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's incessant and erroneous edit warring from Napoli regarding the Rick & the Ravens demo. Protection is needed, I think. 128.214.133.2 (talk) 13:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The band that entered the studio was not The Doors. Per the people themselves, the band changed its' name long after the recording. 82.181.94.185 (talk) 20:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The same person from Napoli is constantly reverting to the Doors. Discussion would be nice. 82.181.94.185 (talk) 20:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having been absent for a year, the same edit warring continues from Italy. Please stop changing the article. The issue has been discussed many, many times, and your edits were wrong then and they are wrong now. 09:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.214.133.2 (talk)

And, predictably, seven months later the page has been changed back to the historically incorrect version yet again. From the same Italian IP, no less. --128.214.133.2 (talk) 11:24, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced section on 2011 reformation

There being no current references to the 2011 reformation, and no evidence of reliable sources online that satisfy WP:RS, I suggest we pull the section and the “Current members” as well. Jusdafax (talk) 21:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After again attempting to find references online regarding the 2011 reformation, and failing, its time to remove the material. If someone has a reliable source for this, feel free to re-introduce the material. Jusdafax (talk) 05:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
