thread_title:  Schools? 

message: That section seems mis-named, since there's no crisis described in it. Arided (talk) 23:44, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crisis? 

message: I too was thrown by the mention of "crisis" but nothing seemed to merit the term.  Also in that section, "Don't You (Forget about Me)" is attributed to Steve Schiff but this is done with a link to the United States politician, House Representative from Arizona.  While this would be noteworthy, I suspect it is the wrong person.  -- Dale  6/15/2012  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.251.194.23 (talk) 21:10, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:   Crisis in section title (seconded) and likely mis-link in paragraph 

message: I was also confused by the section title of "Crisis and resurgence", but I don't know enough about Billy Idol to know if he did in fact have a crisis and subsequent resurgence. Hopefully someone with knowledge and sources could confirm or fix this. Ouizardus (talk) 18:52, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I have never heard that he appeared at Roger Waters The Wall concert in Berlin 1990, are you sure about this?

message: Surely that should be Sussex University (East Slope is a section of the University of Sussex campus, not Brighton Poly).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.241.229.204 (talk) 10:25, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brighton Polytechnic?  

message: Where's his filmography?  I notice on the pages of music stars they usually list it on a separate wiki page, but can't seem to find his.  Would a new page have to be created or do we just put a box on this one? --Stevehim (talk) 15:49, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  filmography 

message: In the section Whiplash Smile there is mention of a person called Lister that is written as though previous mentions have been made but, if they were, they have been removed. The section also has no citations. 86.139.160.211 (talk) 18:48, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing info 

message: "In 1958, when Idol was two years old, his parents moved to Patchogue, on Long Island, New York, United States. The family returned to the UK four years later with Idol and a younger child Jane (who had been born in the United States), settling in Dorking, Surrey"

message: Removed reference to Idol as Gen X, since as someone born in 1955 he was clearly a baby boomer (1945-60) although he may have influenced Gen X youth culture and may have even coined the term.
