[edit] Overly detailed post-retirement appearances

I think that the last three recently added paragraphs (starting from Mike Mills' comment) are vain. We don't need to know about one performace in such detail. It is possible to report such details in music magazines, and in extremely detailed R.E.M books, but not in an encyclopedia article. I am fan, I don't easily get annoyed when I see factual R.E.M. material. But the setlist and comments about one show are unsuitable for Wikipedia. -Hapsiainen 14:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I disagree Bill Has'nt done much since his retirement and any performance he does with the band until he officaly comes out of retirement (aka records with the rest of REM) is noteworthy and keeps the artical from being a stub then nominated for deletion. --Hagamaba 01:43, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is seriously going to propose deletion of this article. Phil Sandifer 22:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overlong retirement section

The retirement section is overlong, and in an excessively informal tone, hence the addition of the cleanup tag. Phil Sandifer 22:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaned up

I have run through the article, boiling down the way excessive detail in both of the above areas. Accordingly I have removed the 'cleanup' tag. Wasted Time R 12:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
