Does anybody do Wikipedia updates?

I once looked at doing a Wikipedia update, and it didn't look easy.  Maybe I'm just stupid.  But if someone does that sort of thing, and wants to do an update, here is the update I was wanting to make.

Supertramp recently released a new version of "Live in Paris '79".  But it's very confusing what they did.

Supertramp released the live album "Paris" in 1980, from their Nov 29, 1979 performance in Paris.  In 2012, it was remastered and also released as a concert DVD and Blu-Ray.  Here in 2025, this new version was released.  But this was from the Dec 1 and 2 performances, and they swapped out two songs.  Thus "Paris" and "Live in Paris '79" are not the same album!  Sax player John Helliwell says, "I think this new version is maybe a bit more refined, in a way."

Confusingly, the 2012 released DVD and BluRay were called "Live in Paris '79" but were from the Nov 29 show.

Currently, Wikipedia has a Supertramp discography page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertramp_discography

And also a page specifically on "Paris"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_(Supertramp_album)

The discography page lists the 1980 release "Paris" live album.  But does not mention the 2025 release "Live in Paris '79".  While the page on "Paris" mentions the 1980 release album "Paris" and the 2012 release of the DVD/Blu-Ray "Live in Paris '79".  But does not mention the 2025 album release "Live in Paris '79".

The 2025 album is available on 2-disk vinyl and CD with 16 songs.  They swapped 2 songs compared to the 1980 release.  The 2025 album is also available in 24-bit on HDTracks with a total of 22 songs.

Wikipedia is sometimes good source for references to subjects one is interested in. The prose on the sites can be dubious at times, but the same can be said of CNN and FUXNEWS. Be an informed and discriminating consumer and it will be a good tool if used appropriately. (My cousins struggle with it, but then they have "fine tuning hammers", so don't worry about them.)
