The "Let\'s put the Breakfast into the Wikipedia" thread

I\'ve been kicking this around for the last few weeks, and then pitchie reminded me with the eschers thread.

Here\'s the deal: anyone can submit information into the encyclopedia. So, post anything and everything you can think of here that explains what the band is. I\'ll go through it all in a week or two and compile it as an entry onto the wikipedia.

This way, everyone will have a chance for input and we\'ll be able to verify everything before it gets posted.

nice. ill pull some of my journalistic abilities out of the dusty areas of my dome for this one. the band deserves effort from me, lots of it.

well i guess no one really posted anything in this thread, but i think there must have been something about the band on wikipedia (probly that generic bio that is on .net, myspace, and crescendo sites), cause i just found this when i was fuckin around on it....

I actually never followed up on this, so it wasn\'t me. I would think copyright is copyright, but as long as you sourced your refrences, :wtf2:

Yeah that was probably me. I had a bunch of stuff input about 3 months ago but somehow messed it up.

So did Crescendo Artists complain to Wikipedia or what?
