Cleanup history section

I’ve been adding a bit of info to this page recently and it seems to me that the entire History section is way too long and detailed, even in comparison to other bands’ pages. I feel like it should be greatly cut down for ease of reading, although obviously still covering major events, all albums, etc. Does this sound like a fair idea?

Agree, the history is far too long, especially so for some of the more recent albums there is far too much detail. Polyamorph (talk) 07:03, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GloverMist: I've started the process of cutting it down. To be honest what remains probably also needs a rewrite and resourcing. Polyamorph (talk) 09:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! That’s really good work, it’s appreciated. GloverMist (talk) 21:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
