replies: text: Well, == Picture ==
the picture at the moment is really badly scaled.
dave's head looks like an egg. no, scratch that, it looks like a lopsided omelet.
anyone know how to fix this? 69.14.56.149 (talk) 15:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Well, for one thing, the picture doesn't even have a fair use rationale. It says the author made it himself, but this is clearly not true. So, aside from scaling it, anybody want to put a fair use rationale up, too, or put it up for deletion and replace it with something else?  Thanks. The Guy (edits) 22:08, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm... How is that relevant? I personally don't think it should be included, otherwise we would have to post the relationship status and location of his mother, father, sisters (if he has some), cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. Zouavman Le Zouave (Talk to me! • O)))) 07:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: David is the only member of Disturbed that is currently single, and he has no qualms with admitting his homosexuality- I am removing the part about him being homosexual because I have never ever heard about that.

I've seen videos where he had a little hair left on the back of his head. Does anyone know for sure? Check out the earlier videos they did.

If you click on the bio link, David mentions that he is "flagrantly anti-war but passionately pro-military."  Of course, I did read something like this in the official Disturbed website, but I think they changed the website months ago so I don't think their main website mentions any about this.  I'm going to see if I can find a better link other than a fansite to confirm this, since I don't think wikipedia use fansites as reliable sources.  Because one of my friends mentioned he is pro military and anti-war.
Anyways, if anyone can go google on david draiman or disturbed, please find a better source than what I found.--Dark paladin x (talk) 21:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I have to say their latest video "Inside the Fire"  it is the best song I have heard in a long time. I love the cut verison it shows how senstive David really is! He is a great muscian and I would love to meet him in person. Who woulda thought he wanted to be a Rabbi once. David You freaking rock!

message: How exactly are Alice in Chains and Pantera "related acts"? Connorflanagan (talk) 01:16, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I was just wondering about that too. I know that Alice in Chains had several other accomplished singers fill in for the late Layne Staley in 2005 and 2006 before they finally settled on William Duvall. But this is the first I've heard about David Draiman being associated with them. Shaneymike (talk) 19:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Disturbed did a cover of Pantera's Walk with Vinne Paul and Dimebag Darrell, at Ozzfest, according to http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/disturbed_and_avenged_sevenfold_at_odds_with_pantera_tune.html That's the closest connection I could find, which is still too weak for the purposes of Related Acts.

replies: text: It is mostly factual.  I hve done a ton of research on the band, and can confirm most of that.  I have a link to cite it, but I can't edit it now since I don't hve copy/paste. 17:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Education. 

message: Issue one: What exactly do those two subjects have in common, besides the fact that the nightmares inspired David to write Inside the Fire? I think we might want to separate them.
Issue two: The whole story of David's girlfriend's suicide is entirely too.. story-like. It's not really serious and takes a tone that forcibly reminded me of a fourth-grader's attempts to make his story as interesting as possible by adding phrases like "Little did he know" and "He then realized the error of his ways". I didn't want to revamp the whole (rather long) paragraph without alerting everyone else to it first, but something needs to be done. As it is, the end of the article seems rather childish.

thread_title:  Crap section 

message: Has someone actually seen a copy of Draiman's birth certificate, therefore necessitating the change in his birthdate? Everywhere I've seen it referenced on the web, it states that he was born on 13 March 1973, but now someone has edited it to read 12 March 1973. So which is it? 
I'm not going to change it back, because 1) I'm not sure how, and 2) I don't know the man so I can't ask to see a copy of his certificate of birth. 
Just wondered is all. I'm new to all this editing stuff...

text: i helped design the page with his father and we have discussed it quite a bit (the page, not the birthday, which is what it is!). do you want an email from his father (like a note from the doctor????) for proof? do you want me to write "According to David's father, his birthday is March 13" and then source it?

message: This source:

It reads at the bottom:

message: This article has been expanded so as to move the weight that on reading you get the idea the he is a notable jew, he is a notable musician and not as I understand notable for his Jewishness?  let me know if I am mistaken - the Jewish section is four times bigger than the music section?

thread_title:  notable jew 

message: continued from above (in the section entitled "???"), but it is getting lost, so, let's put it here:
beretta says that david draiman has asked that this personal info not be included on this page. any 'proof' of that? that is a big statement and hard to really know what to do with it.  does anyone have any comments about this? (i am an active editor on over 200 pages and have never heard this before).
for newcomers here, the three items in question are: david's brother ben (musician), david's father YJ (running for mayor of los angeles), and david's girlfriend/fiancee. Soosim (talk) 07:50, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: beretta89 - no, not really. i will ask some other editors to comment. don't want to cause trouble and hard feelings for anyone...  Soosim (talk) 06:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's very simple, we have a policy covering WP:BLPSELF what to do. If Draiman has concerns about the content of the article, he can certainly bring them up here, and if he is not happy with the results, he can make a complaint about it. But if his personal life is covered in reliable sources, and the article conforms to WP:BLP, likely the information will stay. --Nuujinn (talk) 11:28, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

text: I would rather the subject comment here so we would have a record. More importantly, I'm not sure we'd want such trivial facts regardless of what the subject would have to do. --Nuujinn (talk) 20:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  personal life info 

message: The personal life section has something that is very contradictory. It states that Draiman is Jewish then it says he is not religious. I'm not sure which information is correct. Anyone have any source of this? Is he non-religious or is he Jewish? --Jimv1983 (talk) 02:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal Life 

message: Just a minor change, I personally say Disturbed is a metal band and NOT a hard rock band, but I won't argue of that. However, shouldn't heavy metal at least be mentioned in his infobox?
