The placement of the citations before the punctuation is because of the style of the article. Please, read WP:REFPUNC. Please, do not modify it. Synesthetize (talk) 08:02, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
I think only the Official Website link is relevant as an external link for this article. What do you think? Synesthetize (talk) 09:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
"Looking forward from the original Porcupine Tree music, Wilson took steps to move his project towards newer, more contemporary kinds of music. This new goal scored the band with their thirty minute long single, "Voyage 34"."
"In addition, Snapper released the opener song, "Even Less," as a one-track cassette in a plain white sleeve with the words "Who Is This?" written in ink, a number 1 in the top right hand corner and no catalogue number, and delivered it to record stores and radio stations only[12]."
When there's a concensus of all those unnecessary sentences, paragraphs, etc. we should start shoulders on the wheel of the cutting. Synesthetize (talk) 06:13, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Why is John Wesley present in the member's section of the infobox when he is only a live member of the band? That section is meant for present members of the band who record on the studio material. That's how it works with every other band page I've seen on wikipedia. I therefore suggest that John Wesley is removed from the infobox unless someone can provide an adequate reason as to his name being present there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SAULGNRFAN (talk • contribs) 10:51, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Kscope calls the music Porcupine Tree 'Post Progressive' rather than prog-rock.
The band seem to adhere to select ethos of punk rock.
Fear Of A Blank Planet, for instance, seems to attempt to raise awareness over society's excess surrounding the use of psychiatric drugs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.107.189.66 (talk) 22:06, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
It's contradictory to state that Porcupine Tree is a progressive rock band, and then immediately after that say that they are difficult to classify. Not sure about the best course of action, but my vote is that they are actually progressive rock, and the difficult to categorize comment should be eliminated.
Obviously, one of the two should. For the sake of the article, I'm not sure it matters which. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.10.203.105 (talk) 18:54, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
From the third paragraph of the In Abstentia section,
Is the word "shifting" appropriate here? It doesn't make sense to me, and looks like "shipping" was the intention. Google yielded no clarity on the matter.

Yes, it's fine. "Shifting copies" is a common colloquialism when discussing sales of music, books, etc. BenedictPoole (talk) 20:15, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
