I hope this does not mean that copyright is being claimed on this article in any way. If so, it needs to be rewritten. Notinasnaid 12:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, I thought the Pinks were anarchists, seems a bit odd to be concerned about copyright if one doesn't believe in the ownership of property, intellectual property is especially anti-anarchist. I release all my contributions to the public domain, like a good anarchist should. Alun 17:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

In my experience it's always the anarchists who want to control everything :) Wwwhatsup 19:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

In my experience that applies only to communists and capitalists. Alun 19:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I have just heavily copyedited this article for tone, neutral point of view, and markup. Best wishes, MarkBuckles 06:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm having trouble understanding what this article is saying Syd Barrett's relation is to this band, Steve Peregrin Took and/or Marc Bolan. I tried to clear this up. I actually wanted to know too. Syd Barrett's Wiki doesn't mention took or the Fairies and Took's wiki is as vague as this one.

There's quite a lot of info here. The article could do with an overhaul, on the cover sleeve of What a Bunch of Sweeties it says that Twink left the band after Never Neverland, and so there were just three members. The article isn't particularly explicit about the Mark 1 version of the band. I've been thinking for a while about rewriting it and including more info and a better structure. Just a question of finding the time. I'm also not quite sure how to cite information from the cover of an album. I don't think Syd Barrett had any association with the Pinks at all, but I might be wrong. Alun 05:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Syd Barrett was, after leaving/being dismissed from Pink Floyd, in a band named Stars, of which Twink was also a member. This was a very short-lived band that, as far as I know, never recorded anything, although they did play live on a few occasions. Barrett's deteriorating mental health ensured the project could not last. I haven't put this information into the main article as I'm not sure it's directly relevant to the history of the Pinks themselves. Scholiwiki 23:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

This definitely needs rewrite; The band led by Canadian Paul Rudolph on rock guitar; Duncan (Sandy) Sanderson on bass; and two drummers, Twink, and Russell Hunter, toured N. America before launching their first "trippy" album, is outright balderdash. There's also plenty of POV remaining. Wwwhatsup 19:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Given Pinkwind gets a mention under Hawkwind, I suggest it gets a mention here Peter cohen 23:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Well OK, I've rewritten it then. At least there's now structure and facts. Perhaps it's a little dry, but there's something contributors can add to. Drwhawkfan 18:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

First class job. Well done! Wwwhatsup 22:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
