Talk:List of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members

message: This has a few glaring inaccuracies, no? Flea listed as playing guitar for the last few lineups? Where's John Frusciante? Why is Brad listed as a member of the last several lineups? I don't know enough about the band's history to provide an accurate correction, but I know enough to recognize this page is incorrect... Eric.d.dixon (talk) 04:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: On the list of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members timeline, some users continue to change John Frusciante's departure date from 2008 to 2009. This is incorrect: Frusciante confirmed on his official website in late 2009 that he left the band "over a year ago", placing his departure sometime in 2008. (See here for official post:

I am getting extrememy frustrated with users continuously changing this information. The only compromise that I can think of is marking the time period "(1998 - c. 2008)" on the timeline. Any other ideas/suggestions are appreciated and recommened. I am just getting a bit fed up with reverting the edits constantly..

message: The image :File:RHCP Members by Year.png is 155 kB in size, and that may be considered excessive. It makes sense to keep a full-colour bitmap as a master image if it's going to be resized or reused with modifications. If it's only ever going to be used at one size, then reducing it to an 8-bit palleted png with 256 colours can save a considerable amount of filesize with almost no loss of visual quality. Compare this version to see what I mean. That is only 32 kB, but it may be possible to optimise it further. --RexxS (talk) 16:55, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I have read the Oral/Visual history of the Chili Peppers, and I even went back and added that book as a general reference for this list. It doesn't MATTER if he was trialed, rehearsed, or auditioned for the band; it was NOTABLE ENOUGH for Kiedis to write it in his autobiography, and apparently NOTABLE enough for Schloss HIMSELF to write it on his MySpace (which isn't a reliable source in the first place, but just saying to prove my point). Obviously, if it weren't an important decision for the Peppers to make as a band, they would've omitted it from the biography. I can understand why it's not included in the Oral/Visual history; that's fine, but that's not the only source we're using here. So many people have auditioned to drum or play guitar for the Chili Peppers in their history; Zander Schloss is an important and notable person (according to the band) that made it for only a few days. Schloss acknowledges himself that it was an extremely brief tenure, but a tenure nonetheless. I'm not interpreting anything incorrectly; there isn't anything to interpret. It's clear; the guys from the band consider him notable enough to be considered a member, not just a random person who auditioned. I have worked EXTREMELY hard on this list to make it as accurate as possible, which is why it currently stands as a WP:FL. I don't want to see my hard work abolished over something so trivial.

text: You are impossible to work with. But whatever, just leave him off of the list. I don't care anymore. This isn't worth me being banned from editing. WereWolf (talk) 22:23, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
