[edit] Sources

For the people who request that this article have more sources, please put citations next to the information that is in doubt. Most of what I added to the page was based on the information in the liner notes from Kill the musicians, which verifies much of the information here.

The article needs to be substantiated by reliable third-party sources. The liner notes from the band's CD does not count. —Centrx→talk • 08:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok then put where citations are needed and I'll find reliable third-party sources to add to them.Hoponpop69 20:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

There are currently no reliable third-party sources whatsoever, so the whole article needs them. —Centrx→talk • 10:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Which specific parts do you want certified though, you have to be more specific, Im not gonna certify everysingle sentence in this article.

You don't need to cite every single sentence in the article, though ultimately that is a goal for any article, but you should include references—reliable third-party sources—in a reference section at the bottom, and most or all of the information in the article should be substantiated by those sources. As it stands now, the "life story" appears to just be a some propaganda from them or their record company, which a vested interest in making it legendary or interesting; it is not reliable. —Centrx→talk • 10:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I voted to keep this. I think someone should check to make sure nothing has been copy/pasted from somewhere else. Davidpdx 08:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC) I understand but what SPECIFIC facts do you want references for, put ^{[citation needed]} next to them so we know what to put references to.Hoponpop69 06:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Anything. Everything. It just all does not need specific explicit citations on every single line, but there should be independent reliable source that cover most everything in the article. —Centrx→talk • 06:14, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Only the first two sentences and the discography are fairly reliable. —Centrx→talk • 06:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

You're still missing the point. As I said earlier add ^{[citation needed]} next to anything you want a source for, I will not add references to every single sentence.

You don't need to. Add references at the bottom, but the references should cover or nearly cover the contents of the article. —Centrx→talk • 22:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
