message: Hi everyone, I've been told by a few people that his death was most likely caused by his addiction to Heroin, and that it will show in the toxicology test being done in the autopsy tomorrow.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hittingray (talk • contribs) 01:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Speculation and hearsay are in direct violation of Wikipedia's policies on verifiability. Until his cause of death is determined by the coroner and the results are published in legitimate news/media outlets, his cause of death can't be positively determined, and thus will not be reflected in the article.

thread_title: Information on death

message: I've edited this page maybe half a dozen times, and every time, it's always the same matter of removing a comment about how Paul Grey is an excellent bassist. This is not a NPOV statement - stop adding it. Additionally, I removed a comment about Anal Blast still being acting. Fine and dandy, but completely out of left field. Let's try and add some cohesion to this article, yes? Nhbelongstome 11:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: All I request is that more true facts and for him to not be mocked and spoken about the way he is in this article, the poor man passed away and he is being mocked, simply uncalled for and boycotting will be made from myself and many many others if this is not changed.

message: Request for removal of the "(Last Studio Album With Slipknot)" part just after "All Hope is Gone" in the Discography section. Obviously if he's dead that's his last album with them, it doesn't need noting specifically. 86.129.204.109 (talk) 23:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Strangely enough, I couldn't find a reliable source for this. Still, I think it is unlikely to be challenged, so I've added a brief mention and link in the 'playing style' bit.   Chzz  ►  11:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I think we should move this article to Paul Dedrick Gray, as most media outlets are referring to him by this name. I would go ahead and do it myself, but I just wanted to make sure it would be alright. - Talk to you later, Presidentman (talk) Random Picture of the Day 15:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Gray almost never goes with his middle name, he's not Maynard James Keenan, Tommy Giles Rogers, Jr. or Samuel L. Jackson. • GunMetal Angel 19:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally speaking, unless the person has an established history of using their middle name, which most celebrities/musicians virtually never do, the policy is to go by first and last name, and use whatever level of parenthetical distinguishing is needed to title the respective articles. In this case, it's (American Musician),

message: I wish to edit the part of Paul Grey's article in the masks section, the info about him wearing electrical tape is incorrect, that was their original vocalist Anders who did, he started out with a pig mask and kept with it until Iowa.

replies: text: I guess it should be removed, it isn't even sourced. But before it's done, I just have one question, how do you know of this for sure? • GunMetal Angel 19:02, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: He's asking for a removal, you don't need to provide sources for removals. And on the flipside there isn't even a source at all for the duct tape theory which is already placed on the article. GunMetal Angel 00:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  ??? 

message: I've noticed on the page that it describes him as "an American musician, party clown, and songwriter" yet there is no evidence (from what I've seen anyway) that he was actually a party clown. I am almost tempted to remove it as "original research", yet I don't have any evidence to confirm he definitely wasn't. Could someone please confirm whether or not he was a party clown; and if he was, cite it, or if he wasn't, remove it. Thanks.
