Spiderland
Article makes unsubstantiated claims without any citations that songs were written by individuals, contrary to the liner notes and the ASCAP Repertory which say they were written by the band.current

The Beatles
Previous editor reinserted false phrasing. The Beatles were not "formed in Liverpool in 1960, compromising of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr." Starr joined in 1962. Accuracy is more important than how an editor personally thinks something ought be phrased.Tag: Reverted

The Beatles
As the article lays out with citations, when formed in 1960 The Beatles included Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe. It's therefore inaccurate to say they were "formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr." Instead, can say the band comprised of them for most of its career.Tag: Reverted

Sting (musician)
Sting did not "introduce" raï to Western audiences. Not only is there not a citation for this claim, one can simply look up the genre or actual raï musicians who had hits in Europe and internationally before Sting had anything to do with the genre, such as: /info/en/?search=Khaled_(musician)

Dreamcar (album)
The Allmusic source lists all members as "composer" — not just Havok — which is already addressed in the track listing section above. It does not list Young as performing "percussion."current

Scott Foster (basketball)
The intro was longer than the rest of the wiki. Moved the Donaghy controversy down to the "Officiating career" section, which it falls under, and also expanded on player criticisms of Foster and added the recent Gobert controversy.

Troy Van Leeuwen
Intro incorrectly characterises him as an ongoing "co-producer and musical contributor" of The Armed — interviews with van Leeuwen and press about the group make clear he has been a guest musician on their recordings. Added info about this with citation in "Other musical work" section.

Josh Freese
→Session and touring work: Edited clunky language wrt the Offspring, also removed sentence about their next touring drummer for the sake of brevity and relevance — this is a Josh Freese article, not an Offspring article.

Richard Serra
→Personal life: The source cited does not state that the Serras spend their time "between New York City and North Fork, Long Island." I states of Serra: "In addition to his place in Manhattan, Mr. Serra also has studios out on the North Fork of Long Island, and up in Nova Scotia, Canada."

Zack de la Rocha
There is no source that de la Rocha is "commonly referred to as ZLDR" — there are no apparent popular news articles or releases where he is referred to ZLDR, the credits in his discography (https://www.discogs.com/artist/64348-Zack-de-La-Rocha) lists many other variations of his name but not ZLDR. Including this seems to be taking shorthand on some Reddit comments and passing it off as widespread fact.

Pitchfork (website)
Cleaned up language in intro, added source on office move to Brooklyn in 2011 — also changed language to specify that a citation in the intro did not say Pitchfork covers "all genres" of music (it doesn't normally cover opera or classical, for example), but instead has expanded beyond its initial indie music focus to "other genres."

Zea was once a duo, but is a solo project and was so when de Boer joined [in the source cited de Boer says, of Zea, "That’s only me solo, it’s very simple!"]
