Hi and welcome to Wikipedia I note you claim to be "founder member Gary Appleby" of 9xdead - but we have no way of knowing if that is true or not. However, if it is true, you have a Conflict of interest so, other than in very limited circumstances, should not be editing that page in any case. Please understand that all information on Wikipedia should have a citation to a reliable source, which excludes Facebook, Twitter and other media that anyone can edit - including Wikipedia itself. - Arjayay (talk) 14:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

It is a common misunderstanding that people think the Wikipedia page about them, or their band etc., is "their" page. It is NOT, it is Wikipedia's page about them, or their band etc. and the material that goes on the page is what has been published in reliable, independant, sources. We are not here to "promote" your band, but to reflect what the general opinion, as expressed by unrelated third parties, say - not what your press releases, management or fans say. This sometimes includes things that the band do not want included - e.g. bad record or concert reviews, if this is a reflection of the reliable independent sources. Many people think that being a member of the band gives them additional rights, but under our policy of Conflict of interest it actually gives them less rights. As explained in the COI policy, if you want changes to the article, please ask on the articles Talk page and cite reliable sources where the information can be verified. If you have any questions please ask here, on my talk page, or the articles Talk page - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 15:21, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
