Comparisons to Tony Williams by unidentified people are fatuous and don't belong in an encyclopedia. (Also, an artist creates art. While Colaiuta may be technically skilled, let's bear in mind that Williams created art with Miles Davis. It says something for Colaiuta's judgement as an artist that he works with minor talents like Sting and Paul Anka. Please don't compare him to Tony Williams.)

Tony Williams also created some of the most overblown, self-indulgent musical masturbation ever recorded with his later work (24" bass drum era). Your opinion on Sting/Paul Anka is irrelevant and pointless for this page, and your opinion of Vinnie's status as an artist is (thankfully) in the extreme minority.62.30.111.43 15:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree - IP 62 is correct. Your opinion should not, in fact, influence the content of this page, as WP strives to be true to facts and not personal views. Regards, xC | ☎ 19:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Same image used for Dave Weckl article

The same image is used for the Dave Weckl article. I don't know what either drummer looks like, so I'll leave the fixing to someone else. --Skylights76 20:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jing Chi?

There's absolutely no mention of the band Jing Chi, which was composed of him, Robben Ford, and Jimmy Haslip. As a matter of fact, there's no page for Jing Chi itself. Big problem, no? 68.148.174.70 (talk) 00:31, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
