How detailed should things like the collaborators list be? Because I can think of at least 4 or 5 artists off of the top of my head that definitely should be on that list, but a little research churned up maybe 10-20 more. If Tricky appears once on someone's album, should that count? What if he does a remix for someone? Or what if he writes a song but doesn't perform it, etc., etc.? I'm thinking that maybe if they do more than one song with Tricky, but then again..? Any thoughts? -- AA 04:12 Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything about the change in his voice from the noticable british accent(Massive Attack) to his current trademark rasp (Blow Back)? Best I can tell, it started around Pre-Millenium Tension. I haven't come across any web sites that make any mention of it.-- 24.6.31.215 22:51, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The link to Hawkman goes to the DC Comics character. I think Hawkman the artist should have his own page, but I don't know anything about him.
Does anyone have info about that Grease link under the "other projects" header? I can't find anything about this and there is no source shown. I can't imagine he would have anything to do with that. A remake of "Beauty School Dropout" perhaps? I was going to remove it from the article but figured I'd ask first. I'm thinking someone is getting it confused with the whole "DJ Muggs & Grease" connection? -- eo 05:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
"TRICKY With DJ MUGGS & GREASE

There are two things definetly missing here: weblinks and a picture.. (I added two links for fun, but they don't show really good imagery).
There are so many other things to include... how about the label he runs/was running - Durban Poison. And his 'Back to Mine' compilation? And the 'Baby Namboos' - who I believe were his nephews? Finley Quaye once claimed to be Tricky's nephew too. Then what about the 'Drunkenstein' project of the late '90s - what happened to that? Oh, and what about the press's view that his music's perceived downturn in quality post PMT is due to his use of cannabis? And that the crap nature of the Muggs project was due to contract filling? I'll try to find citations for some of these... Malick78 18:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
any confirmation about this track being about Goldie? I gave it a listen this morning, and the references (coke in your nose, knock out your gold fronts, the king of jungle, etc.) are there, but I haven't seen an article on it... Khal 14:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
This might be worth mentioning. http://www.3news.co.nz/Tricky-patches-up-with-the-Mongrel-Mob/tabid/312/articleID/204487/Default.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redyorange ( talk • contribs) 02:13, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: pages moved. The one oppose offers no evidence that this is the primary topic, there seems at least rough consensus that there is no primary topic. Andrewa ( talk) 18:05, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
– The musician is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of this widespread dictionary term, and the musician is not more prominent than the set of other topics listed at Tricky (disambiguation). BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 10:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
It's stylish, but doesn't really show him. I'd suggest moving this one to lead position. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:37, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Here are plenty. If you see one you like, please grab it or ask me and I will. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 07:20, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
I picked one and added to the infobox. Hope it's agreeable to the community. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 17:22, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
This article says initially that his mother died by suicide, but then (much later) states she died through an epileptic seizure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:7E80:360:588D:A0DD:446F:2880 ( talk) 06:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
The article mentions "He [Tricky] became involved in crime at an early age, joined a gang that was involved in car theft, burglary, fights and promiscuity." One of these strikes me as lurid and needlessly judgemental rather than illegal. Is Wikipedia written by a Midlands grandmother? 2A02:587:328A:E00:CC41:6CCD:D37F:C689 ( talk) 20:24, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. The consensus was opposed to Tricky as it isn't the primary name. ( non-admin closure) Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 07:45, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Tricky (musician) → Tricky (rapper) – The opening lines of this article say "Tricky, is a British record producer, and rapper". Rapping seems to be his main role in the work he has done. I also do not see anything in the article to say that he is actually a musician because there is no mention of him playing any instruments. QuintusPetillius ( talk) 13:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
