....especially with stuff they don't know about, aka, false information.
"The reason for this was the band had an issue with their producer and their management company, Greig Nori and Bunk Rock Music; since their management company had a contract with EMI, after the band left the company and dropped the producer, the contract was broken."
No footnote or anything, or even a better explanation.
Maybe this response from dave should clear a few things up.
"Greig became very busy with alot of projects he was working with."
That's what he said when I asked him why they split with Greig Nori, I don't remember reading an article or interview anywhere about a fight or issue they had. But back on topic, how can someone end that with "the contract was broken".??? If a contract was actually broken, there would be more legal trouble then dropping an artist. It's more likely that the contract expired, rather then broken.

That was taken right from wikipedia.
I'll remove that paragraph.. it doesn't have a source
and here's the thing about wikipedia; if an article is a Featured article; it's most likely completely accurate with no false info; if it's a good article; it's about 80 percent right; and i'm not sure for anything else

How you make an article to be a featured one?

One second, its a joke that Sum 41 formed on the 41st day of summer?
I know the fact that wikipedia says that they met at a Hole concert and there decided to start a band is a joke. It was said in many different interviews that "the band members joke that they decided to start the band at a Hole concert..." and such, but wikipedia lists it a fact, not a joke...

Guys, how do you not see this?
1 penny + 1 nickel + 1 Dime + 1 Quarter = 41 Cents!!!
Which means its a sum of 41!

it basically has to have every fact in it sourced... like 200 sources overall...
it's really hard to do.
and sum 41 say they joked about meeting at a hole concert; that was removed because there were conflicting sources.
and wikipedia goes from mainly what other websites and sources say.
according to mulitple sources i found;
they did form 41 days into the summer. TNS also says this.

I thought you can't put TNS as a source.

Can you use a forum topic that has photos scanned from a magazine? That's what I did in Deryck's profile considering his instruments.

it might get challenged and removed; but really it doesn't matter in a lower quality article. the main Sum 41 article is now a good article so it has standards to live up to
