Hi. I reverted your recent edits to this article because they seemed to be original research. For more information on Wikipedia's policy on original research, please see WP:OR. If you can find a source for the information you listed (like an article about the band, or a record review), then please feel free to re-add it to the article (and cite the sources). However, if it is based on your personal observations or experiences, then it doesn't belong in the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. janejellyroll 03:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to add that to the article. All personal research falls under the WP:OR policy.  Theoretically, if you wrote an article about your conversation and it was published in a reliable source, you could then cite the article as a source and add the information to the article.  This is because all information on Wikipedia should be verifiable (see WP:V for more info on this).  Anything an editor adds to an article should be checkable by another editor.  A personal conversation could never be checked by another editor.  Hope that clears things up.  There are probably magazine articles/interviews about this band.  A great way to beef up the article would be to find those sources and then add information from them to the article.  Let me know if you have any more questions. janejellyroll 04:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
