Please do not change the instruments listed in the Personnel sections of albums to what you "think" they are. For example, Foreigner's Double Vision has "reeds" in the credits, because this is exactly what the credits in the sleeve notes say... anything else would be original research and guesswork on your part. Unless you can find another reliable source stating exactly what instruments were played on the album, they should stay the same as the album credits.

I made the "11 years to make" edit, haha, but I meant 11 years of production altogether. That was a mistake on my part, so thanks for correcting it! -NowIsntItTime^{(chats)(doings)} 19:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Brian Ritchie.

The infobox is for primary instrument(s), per, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument). Secondary instruments should be brought up in the article body - FlightTime (open channel) 06:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mesopotamia

Hi there. Regarding Kate Pierson's credits on the Mesopotamia EP, presuming that is indeed a comma on the back of the original LP sleeve (hard to differentiate it from a speck in the rock illustration), the problem is the type of bass isn't specified and I know WP always wants clarification for that particular credit. Kate has never played a bass guitar, to my knowledge (see a surprisingly comprehensive list of instruments Kate used here: [[1]]) and keyboard bass would be much more in keeping with the band's history, as she frequently played keyboard bass live and in the studio. This is not a super big deal or anything, but we should probably find another source that specifies what kind of bass she played on the EP, rather than assume it's a bass guitar. (Same for Keith, come to think of it, where his "bass" credit on the sleeve is also vague.) Let me know what you think!
—The Keymaster (talk) 04:43, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it would be more encyclopaedic to use the exact wording the liner notes used, "bass" as opposed to "bass guitar" since bass on its own can have more than one implication (suggesting Ricky, Keith and Kate may have used a combination of bass guitars and keyboard basses for example), I really do wish the font they used for the liner notes was more readable because the commas are tiny and I didn't even see them the first time I looked at the credits, i've read that Kate played some bass guitar in live performances for the Mesopotamia tour but I can only find photos of her playing electric guitar and I can't really see a reason she would do this as opposed to using a keyboard bass like usual, there is video footage of Ricky playing bass guitar live for the Planet Claire song though Simon-holmes69 (talk) 06:32, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this. I think what I will do for now is put a "citation needed" tag by the "bass guitar" info for both Kate and Keith and keep looking around for a solid reference in the meantime. How does that sound?

—The Keymaster (talk) 02:09, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

you're a much higher profile editor than me, I trust whatever decision you feel is best Simon-holmes69 (talk) 05:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop deleting sourced information from Will Champion's page

There are multiple instances of him using percussion, keyboards and piano, the latter of which he plays since he was 8 years old and mentioned that it influenced his drumming. Stop thinking you know better than fans that actually edit their pages actively. --GustavoCza (talk) 15:15, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter how long he has played piano, it's literally wikipedia policy that instruments in the infobox are reserved for the musician's primary instruments aka the instruments they are primary known for playing; Will Champion is Coldplay's drummer/percussionist and backing vocalist, his contributions on keyboard/piano and guitar are secondary, unless you can provide a source (and I mean actually provide in the form of a link) that proves his contributions on those instruments are equal to his role as a drummer/vocalist. If you can't handle wikipedia policy you shouldn't be an editor for major pages. I can turn a blind eye to piano maybe since he plays it quite a bit live and has done for much of Coldplay's history but he has only played guitar for a few songs and the thought of including bass/violin/tin whistle is completely off the table. Favouritism is not permitted on wikipedia, you being a fan makes no difference. If you continue in this manner you will no doubt receive warnings from moderators and people will still continue to revert your edits if they violate wikipedia policy. I was just like you in 2012 regarding articles on Queen and Pink Floyd, I've seen it all before. The sooner you realise that not all your edits are perfect and that people trying to improve the encyclopaedic content of your favourite band shouldn't be interpreted as a personal attack, the better.
