Was he really a computer programmer?

Yes. --Bookmastaflex 18:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

No. I'm not certain enough to add it to the encyclopedia entry, but my understanding is that he was a hardware engineer, not software. Ministry 15:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I find it odd that he is under the category of "Hammered Dulcimer Players" when the article mentions nothing of this. I think we should remove this from the page. Faerielinds 16:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

That photograph is terrible.

I recently found this article. Check out the "Hollywood romance" part. Maybe something from that should be included in this article... --Molnart 17:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The new photograph

The new pic is terrible. It does NOT represent what Steven Wilson looks like at all. I will be searching for a legally obtainable pic that better represents him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PearlTheater (talk • contribs) 14:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Keyboard Player?

Recently came across this video, claiming that Wilson was the band's keyboard player. And damn, it looks like him:

Steven Wilson is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band, who occasionally will play keyboard. Barbieri still is responsible for the heavy layering and more complex keyboard work. Kerrow 00:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Uh...I know that. Did you even watch the video?-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.194.32 (talk • contribs)

No, my bad, thought this was just some other erroneous comment about PT. I saw them in concert recently, and SW did play keyboard on a few songs. I just thought you had a video of that. No clue if it is or isn't, no way to prove or disprove it either. Kerrow 20:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

On the back of Stupid Dream (the closest PT album to me that I can reach without having to stand up) credits Wilson with Vocals, Guitars, Piano and Samples, and credits Barbieri with Analogue Synthesizers, Hammond Organ and Mellotron. CDowns 11:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I recently watched the video, I have to confess I didn't know about his contribution in such band. If you find more information about it, please, submit it to the Project's talk page and it will be considered for inclusion in the article. Synesthetize (talk) 14:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
