Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Hear'Say
You said, "I don't understand why you're deleting the section titled 'In popular culture', because it is poorly-sourced trivia. Who gets to decide that? It's no less official than other music acts' equivalent sections. Most of those edits are indisputable facts, such as the band being referenced on very popular television series, tours and books?"
 * Well, "because it's poorly sourced" is already a good enough reason: it was poorly sourced. IMDB is not a reliable source. You're citing Instagram in an encyclopedic article? Some dude who doesn't have an article was a fan? If reliable secondary sources don't write about it, it's likely not worth mentioning. And yes, it's trivial--some music is heard during a TV show? Now that factoid might be worth noting--as long as you cut all the crap about who kisses who and whatnot. And that whole "award-winning" should never happen. You said "it's no less official"--but there is nothing "official" about any of this, and even if there were, it doesn't matter. We're not "official". That so much trivial material is found in other articles should be an incentive to cull that from those articles, so they will become better. Finally, "indisputable facts" means very little: secondary sources are necessary also to prove that something is worth mentioning. I can see how the first two items can be included in the article (though not in some "In popular culture" section, which is usually just an excuse for trite material), with proper sourcing and in proper encyclopedic language. BTW one of the reasons that I didn't block you (I blocked the other person) is that you started an account, which was a good move. Reverting and continuing to revert, not so much. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 23:12, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
