I have corrected the English grammer on this page. A battle of those bands is pluarl, but the winning band is singular. All bands may store their property over there, however that band may store its property over here instead. I left the last paragraph in the pluaral becuase the author seemed to be talking about the remaining memebers of the band, which in this case would be pluaral. Those (pluaral) people are in a singular band.

Featured version of article does not match actual article

[edit]

There are several "perennial" edits that are made to this article on a regular basis, usually by anon IPs, which go against consensus and are usually reverted shortly after they are made. The section preceding this (regarding considering the band as singular vs. plural) is one example, and I see that change has already been reverted to match the correct state of the article, which uses British English. However, there are other changes which have been made, and since reverted in Pink Floyd, which have got into the saved featured article, regarding describing the band in the past tense. The very first line, "Pink Floyd were...", is "Pink Floyd is..." in the article, and this has been reviewed and agreed upon several times in the article's history. This is just one of several examples I could give. It seems this article was moved to the featured article page on the week band member Richard Wright died, and approx. 100 edits per day were being made (mostly stuff that needed to be reverted), so it was very difficult to keep the article stable at that time, and catch every unwanted change that was being made. Therefore, the article was copied at the worst possible time. Perhaps you should consider moving it again. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 00:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
