Talk:Wideawake (band)

Neutrality
The second paragraph is the one I'm calling into question. At best, its neutrality is in question, but it sounds like it came directly from a press release or something. Could even be plagarism/copyright infringement. UnhandledException 15:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The paragraph you speak of violated Wikipedia's copyright guidelines &#8212; in that it was copied directly from Wideawake's MySpace profile without expressed permission &#8212; and has been removed.


 * Additionally, when this content was copied into the article the following good content was overwritten:
 * The band Wideawake originated in Seattle under the name "Common Thread" then "Thread". Their first two CDs released under the name of Thread were "All My Days" and "Wideawake". The band name and title were switched after being released due to a suit brought by an aspiring toy company seeking to use the name Threads exclusively. (The toy company flopped.) The original three band members played in the youth worship band at Marysville First Assembly, where the youth group under Youth Pastor Benny Perez grew phenomenally and attracted nationwide attention.
 * Wideawake has recently been joined on stage by Sheryl Crow, opened for Dexter Freebish, Blue October and Eddie Money, and played on "The Rockboat".


 * Now that the issues of neutrality have been settled, maybe the above can be added back? jareha (comments) 16:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll look into the removed information in the first paragraph and make sure it's right. I guess it's possible they relocated to Austin from Seattle, but I want to make sure this is correct and if it the same band.  The second paragraph definitely sounds reasonable, as these performers are from/frequent Austin.  I'm not terribly familiar with this group in particular, but their name is very well known here in Austin.  UnhandledException 16:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
