Hey there. I noticed you have made several edits regarding timelines and band members, and I would like you to come join the current discussion happening at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians that may finally result in a standard for various items related to band member listings and timelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

 * Just to step in, I'd like to point out that he didn't do either. All he did was 1) revert a few pieces of the timeline to the way they used to be, and 2) didn't change any factual representation (It is reported on the GNR page that the band formed in March. And all of the bars in that timeline start in March. He simply eliminated the current gap between the start of the timeline and the start of the bars. – DLManiac (talk) 02:41, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Ozzy Osbourne Tribute - Who played keyboards?
While even the CD liner notes don't answer this question, it seems there's about a 98% liklihood that it is indeed Lindsay Bridgwater and not Don Airey. First, during this general time period Airey was confirmed to have been a member of Rainbow and was not touring with Osbourne. Secondly, The After Hours performance in Rochester on April 28, 1981, was filmed and thus it can be confirmed that Bridgwater was keyboardist for Osbourne at that time, which was only two weeks prior to the Cleveland show that the majority of this album was pulled from. Plus, and this is the biggest one, Airey does not list Tribute in his own personal discography. This is enough confirmation for me. SolarFlash (talk) 19:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the extra evidence. I think I am convinced Bridgewater did indeed play keyboards on tribute. Sparkysilverfish (talk) 22:46, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on The Devil Wears Prada (band). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:59, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Dude all I did was edit the timeline to add new information that had already been sourced multiple times in the aritcle. If you want to debate the validity of those sources, I'm not the guy you should be talking to Sparkysilverfish (talk) 07:04, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You did two things: added unsourced information to the membership section and made it end at a point in the future. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:09, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The content I added has already been sourced. I just edited the timeline. Also you're being really pedantic about that ending the future thing. It's perfectly normal for timelines to end a little bit in the future. I see it all the time on wiki pages and no one complains about it except you Sparkysilverfish (talk) 07:11, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
