message: In looking at the jenkem article I am not finding any references to its use before the 1990s.  Additionally, the claim in the article that Allen was under the influence of this substance is unsubstantiated.  Danaseilhan (talk) 07:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says, "Doctors had reattached his left arm, but due to infection it was removed again. Rick Allen left the hospital three and a half weeks after he was taken in, even though the situation he was in was expected to last for six months." That doesn't make sense. Does this mean that, after six months, was Rick expected to have grown a new arm? Because that's what it says. --Trweiss (talk) 19:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Today I added this: 
This article is not a useful biography of Rick Allen, especially because so much more info is available in the public record. In fact, there is very little actual biography at all after the Intro section. I recommend significant improvements to this article and will help out myself when I have the time.

replies: text: It's getting better... thanks to some anonymous folks who restored some biographical info that had been deleted/vandalized previously. We need some more expansion on Rick Allen's personal like but will have to be careful with drug abuse and spousal abuse stories, as Victuallers noted a few comments above.

message: The article says "he never felt deeply depressed because of what happened" but goes on to say "Allen thought that he could not continue drumming for Def Leppard and became very depressed." Which is true? Totnesmartin (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The article notes specifically his marriage to his "first wife" but does not give any information about a subsequent marriage? In which case that should be "his wife" with no qualifier, or otherwise at least a mention of any other marriage(s). 85.229.56.227 (talk) 13:54, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
