[edit] POV statements

Yo, I really have a problem with the unsubstantiated "considered by many to be one of the best drummers in the world"-type praise. Can anyone offer any links to evidence of polls taken or something based on fact? Otherwise, I vote that this type of language is removed. We need to keep articles factual! Regards --Treebo 08:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

He's constante cited as such. Unlike Trés Cool. I personally would have no problem saying that in a conference, though a case would be made that all the bands he's played can show off his drumming skills very easily though (kinda like Chris Vrenna).Dskzero 01:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] discography section alphabetizing

should be by last then first name for solo artists (and of course regular first word for group names). Also for many albums by one artist/group, can use nested lists. — Shadowhillway 06:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2500 albums

2500 albums sounds like a lot; not impossible, but it's a fairly big claim and I'd like to see the factual support. Does anyone know where that assertion came from? Dylan 14:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

It is in the newest DRUM! Magazine, June 2006.

George 01:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Was also originally mentioned on the official site jf.com (when it was still online w/ content). Cross referencing or lack therof will be a royal bitch to complete, so it will take time to get most if it checked and cited.

[edit] Pretty please cite sources, with sugar on top!

The tag got removed, and there's no sources, so I'm retagging it. Remixed 02:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I swear this is still on my todo list, kudos for anyone that gets it going first

[edit] 101 Templates

Should we really have a template for every band that Freese has been in on his page? It looks horrifyingly messy. King Bee 19:43, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't look that bad, i'm certianly proud of it.. it shows alot of what he has accomplished... I mean, I like to compare it to top brass U.S. generals with all the stripes. Ok, i'll stop raving.

[edit] Pronunciation

I've heard people pronounce his last name Freeze, and I've also heard it pronounced Free See. Can somebody clarify?

Numerous interviews confirm that it is pronounced "Freeze", like it is freezing! Check out the latest vandals dvd and aolsessions w/ sting

[edit] Perfect Circle

This may seem like a small gripe but I don't see why White and Iha are listed as "core members". If anything I'd keep it at Maynard, Howerdel, and Freese since they've done significant work on every album. Granted Iha and White have technically worked on two out of the three albums, I hold eMotive to a lower standard since it had no new material, only covers and remixes.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:La skyline.jpg

Image:La skyline.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Image issue

The rights claim on Image:Joshfreese.jpg seems to be a mess. Perhaps someone involved here can sort it out. Otherwise, it will probably be deleted. - Jmabel | Talk 00:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

I can't be alone in thinking this needs it's own article (after all it's only going to continue growing) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.15.237 (talk) 04:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
