Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article 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.

Origin of name

"Interestingly, the name Vera comes from the Russian word for 'faith'."

This seems dubious to me. Most references I see to "ver..." in western languages originate from a Latin root, indicating truth. --Davidstrauss 08:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What the article says is true (according to Google Translate) but I would assume that it came from the Latin. This site gives it both ways: —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Wormell (talk • contribs) 08:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bass

This track does in fact have a bass line. There is no information about it in the article. The pink floyd encyclopedia I think states that it is played by David Gilmour. If so, it should be included in the article. 80.213.253.106 (talk) 06:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vera Lynn response

Has anyone come across any articles or interviews in which Vera Lynn gives her response/thoughts on the song "Vera" or the reference to her and her work in The Wall (album and film)? — al-Shimoni (talk) 11:15, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
