[edit] Trivia box removed

Mostly because it's irrelevant, i.e. no one really cares what kind of van they drive. Breathefire 17:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, trivia enthusiasts would care about this. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 18:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I trimmed down the trivia section a bit, and changed the IMDB link to the wikipedia stub, which has a further link to the imdb article. Miles 16:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recently Edited

If it's going to be there, I made it look decent. Changed some spelling, added links to the appropriate articles, removed some biased wording to make it read like an encyclopedia article, not a "puff-peice." I don't know the band members personally, but I would assume that some of the names may need quotations (such as Massive Mike being changed to "Massive" Mike, or "B-Town"). Also, some confusion on the van, since there is no "Dodge Prospector," only a Prospector edition on the Dodge Rampage (that I can find any mention of). If anyone wants to clarify, feel free to do so. edit: Jlricherson 00:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I do not believe that this post should be deleted. It was deleted before because the band was not "notable". I disagree with this. If you do a google search for "xdeathstarx" you will see there are many results for this band. The bands record label has a wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facedown_Records). xdeathstarx is the largest band on their label. xdeathstarx is also one of the most popular christian bands that play hardcore music in the united states. For these reasons I believe the band is notable and deserves a wikipedia entry.

thank you

Sources would help. We can't take your word for what's notable or not. If these guys are getting significant media coverage, let's see some sources. Friday (talk) 18:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I have added several links to websites that have reviewed the bands albums. I also added a link to the bands iTunes store and ticketmaster ticket sales. I will add more links to media postings of the band later today. Thanks for helping me make this entry more notable. Josh Highland 18:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC) Josh

Are the Xs decorative, or is the band's name actually "eksdeathstareks"? Exploding Boy 18:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

the X's are part of the bands name, it denotes they are a straight edge band. The x's are not pronounced though. This is common for bands of this musical genre. Josh Highland 18:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
