TIN CAN PHONE
Hi Larry, I wasn't indeed using Wikipedia as a promotional tool in any way shape or form. If you'll notice that when you do a Google search for the term Tin Can Phone, the top two positions(above Wikipedia) are for the band Tin Can Phone. And with this in mind it is important to give Wikipedia visitors a full understanding of the modern term "tin can phone". Princeton University describes an Encyclopedia as the following: a reference work (often in several volumes) containing articles on various topics (often arranged in alphabetical order) dealing with the entire range of human knowledge or with some particular specialty Would you not consider the band Tin Can Phone part of the entire range of human knowledge on the topic "tin can phone"? Looking forward to your response,

Matt
