Talk:List of the Who band members

message: I don't think Simon Phillips or "Boltz" Bolton should be included in the main table. They were, after all, just another part of the big band hired on the 1989 tour. Why should they get special mention simply because of the instrument they play? Maybe replace them with "see the 25th Anniversary Tour entry" or preferably something pithier. 82.6.83.187 07:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: EITHER have the High Numbers in the list (and keep the note about the session drummer), or as the note (and list it as simply The Who, April 1964 - September 1978). To mention it in both the list and as a footnote is redundant. 82.6.83.187 03:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it looks way too messy to squeeze 6 lines into the table like that, so I advocate the footnote method. MightyMoose22 06:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Fully Detailed Timeline" is wrong. The BPI awards ceremony was in 1988 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was in 1990. Clashwho 19:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fully Detailed Timeline

message: I've converted the footnotes to refs, as it makes them a lot easier to edit. All you have to do is add or remove a ref to the place you want it and the list at the bottom of the page will be updated automatically, so you don't have to keep track of which note is where.

message: The current layout is messy, unwieldy and a lot less readable than the previous one (e.g. here) for a number of reasons. A few examples: a) having all of the info at the top of the page and then again in the table is completely redundant, whereas before it was arranged in three stages of increasing detail so people who only wanted a little bit of information didn't have to read through the whole list to find it; b) having each tour lineup separated made it easy to see exactly who played when and with whom, whereas now you have to look at each section, then compare the dates, and mentally juggle the information to figure out what each lineup was; c) bold text should be used sparingly to make certain words stand out, whereas using bold text on every line of the table means that none of it stands out and it completely defeats the purpose, plus it means that there's less space around and between the letters, which actually makes it harder to read; d) why is the table centered, anyway? I could go on, but I won't. Does anyone object to a reversion? --Monkeynutbar (talk) 10:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been more than a week with no objections. I'll leave it another day or two for any last-minute comments, otherwise I'll assume it's safe to go ahead and revert to the version linked above. --Monkeynutbar (talk) 23:59, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Current layout

message: The way the timeline is displayed cuts off the first few letters of touring member John "Rabbit" Bundrick's name, as can be seen here.
Proposed edit: Give more room for names at the front of the timeline.
