This article has been rated as Top-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

In The Pink?

An observation; nowhere, on the original album release, is the narrative character referred to as “Pink”, no lyric reference, nothing on the artwork, etc. There’s no argument that during the concept phase he may have been called “Pink”, and indeed during the film, his childhood friends call him “Pinky”. But, aside from the fleshy pink human / doll laying on the ground on the album cover art, there’s no actual identification of “Pink”. The name, is also a carry over from the song “Have A Cigar”, “Oh, by the way, which one is Pink?” ( A joke about the days when the band got tired of explaining their name, to unconcerned studio heads.) 75.106.32.81 (talk) 18:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In "In the flesh", he calls himself Pink.

"Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel". 70.94.198.1 (talk) 03:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AH! There’s the rub! Well spotted! I’ve listened to the album since it came out, and completely forgot THAT reference! ( Forgetting, possibly, that Pink suffered from multiple personality problems, as well.) 75.106.32.81 (talk) 18:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing

I had to scroll all the way to the end of the article for the track listing what happened to the table of contents? Antignomi (talk) 03:50, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the articles for all of Pink Floyd's studio albums, and they all have the track listings near the end of the article. Do you see the table of contents in the left-hand margin? That's where it appears with the new Vector skin. Regards, Kiwipete (talk) 09:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I didn't even notice the new skin. That helps a lot, thanks Antignomi (talk) 09:12, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
