Plagiarism edit
Anyone else noticed almost the entire article is plagiarized from a rick fan site, with no direct attribution. http://www.rick-wright.org/page.php?10
"He was a founding member of The Pink Floyd (as they were then called) in 1965, and also participated in its previous incarnations, Sigma 6 and The (Screaming) Abdabs."
"Rick was educated at the Haberdashers' Aske's School and the Regent Street Polytechnic College of Architecture, where he met fellow band members Roger Waters and Nick Mason. He was a founding member of The Pink Floyd (as they were then called) in 1965, and also participated in its previous incarnations, Sigma 6 and The (Screaming) Abdabs."
Sound familiar?
The generic link to the fan site at the bottom of the page doesn't cut it without more direct attribution. That is, unless the fan site took the info straight off wikipedia.. 220.253.63.156 (talk) 08:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Death mask edit
Sorry, I don't think a picture of what is effectively a death mask is particularly nice to have in this article. What do others think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:28, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- It's not a death mask, so I think you're tilting at windmills. See also Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980–81. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:39, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Yup, I remember having the album on bootleg about 25 years ago. Don't really like it as much as the early 70s stuff. Still looks creepy to me, though. I'll ask one of my kids what they think. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:51, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Seems to me to be non-notable trivia, not needed. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:16, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Listing albums in first paragraph... edit
In the first section it says:
"performing on all but one of the group's albums including The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Division Bell,"
...why these four albums specifically? Why not say which album he didn't play on (The Final Cut), which I think would be a lot more informational? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:502:9370:1AE:EBD6:5924:E889 (talk) 16:19, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
