Surname and band name
There's a problem with this sentence:

A. "The name Fenech-Soler is taken from Daniel Soler's full surname, which is Maltese."

- which keeps getting changed by anonymous editors to this (or something similar):

B. "The name Fenech-Soler is taken from Daniel's Mothers maiden name. He has also chosen to adopt this name rather than use his original surname."

Now this change may well be right; I wouldn't know. But I would ask you to consider, carefully, the following points:


 * It keeps getting changed to version B but still has a reference to this: http://www.manchesteracademy.net/Artist%20Pages/fenechsoler.html - which supports version A. You can't really do this - you need a reference which supports version B. To change A to B but leave a reference which supports A is not good editing.


 * Sadly, personal knowledge is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. This sounds crazy at first - you know something is right, you know the encyclopaedia is wrong - why can't you just change it? Because others need to be able to verify your version, to see for themselves that it is correct. You have to give the information that lets them do this, which is the job that the reference does. I can't verify your personal knowledge.


 * The bottom line, under present policies as I understand them is that we are aiming for verifiability, more than truth.  Getting both would be best but if it's a choice then verifiability wins. Sounds mad? Possibly, yes. Only way to run a multi-editor encyclopaedia? Possibly, yes.


 * If you would like to read more on these issues, they are here: WP:RS on reliable sources and WP:V specifically on verifiability.

To sort this mess out is quite simple - all you need is a verifiable source which supports the new version. Change it back to version B or whatever, give the new verifiable source. You're done. If you are not sure how to format a reference just put it in anyway and someone will sort it out for you.

This will fix it. Just changing it to an unverifiable version and leaving a contradictory source in will not fix it.

Hope this helps
