{{ helpme}}Akrabbim - thanks for the advice and the friendly nature of your feedback. :) Fair enough I goofed with thinking my update was a minor edit. However, is that your only reason for reverting it? Rnlrobinson ( talk) 04:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
No, I didn't revert it just because it was marked as a minor edit, I just though that I would mention it. The reason that I reverted the edit was because I didn't think the the content was notable for inclusion into the band's article, besides the tone not being encylopedic. First of all, the information applied very specifically to one of their albums, so if anywhere it would belong in the You Run Away or All in Good Time articles. Like Josh Parris mentioned, the source was a blog, which are usually not relied upon as reliable sources (see WP:RS). The tone of the sentence "the band seems to have failed to grasp the global nature of the Internet" also is un-encyclopedic. Unless this inconsideration of theirs was reported by the professional media or other reliable sources, a statement like this doesn't belong on Wikipedia (see WP:Verifiability). I hope that answers your question.
To add to what Fuhghettaboutit said, if someone leaves you a message and you aren't sure they are still watching your page, you can use the {{ talkback}} or {{ tb}} templates on their talk page (like someone did here) to let someone know that you have responded. — Akrabbim talk 21:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
