Rick Rubin[edit]

Rick Rubin has produced 8 albums with the RHCP now. The text is currently undercounting. 2600:1700:6033:80D0:318F:94D:5277:378D (talk) 03:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It says RHCP won 6 Grammys which is an error. They won 3.[edit]

New text / paragraph: They have won three Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2022 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Old text / paragraph: They have won six Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2022 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Done Thanks for reporting this. The body of the article also reflected this error, saying Stadium Arcadium won more Grammys than it seemingly actually did, based on the Grammys page. Weird, not sure how that happened. (Maybe an editor got wins confused with nominations?) Popcornfud (talk) 13:59, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm not sure what happened, but I just found another Wiki page that lists their Grammys wrong:

Nudity in right section?[edit]

Wouldn't the fact that the boys got rather famous in their younger days, by merrily, some might say generously, bouncing their naked butt buns around on stages, be more a matter of "Legacy" that "Style"? Were Adam and Eve of a certain style before the apple? Just askiing. SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
