The "Let\'s put the Breakfast into the Wikipedia" thread
« on: July 24, 2005, 04:36:30 pm »
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.

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.
