Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of Guns N' Roses band members, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mlpearc (open channel) 02:15, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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 [1]. This is enough confirmation for me. SolarFlash (talk) 19:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

December 2019

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
