The news[edit]

Some readers may wonder why I deleted certain sections of this article. Wikipedia isn't a newspaper and it isn't Facebook. It isn't television. It isn't the place to go for the latest thing. It isn't the place to read about gossip or celebrity scandal. It's an encyclopedia, which means a boring reliance on facts. Facebook cannot be used as a source for Wikipedia. No site that has user-generated content can be a reliable source for Wikipedia, and this includes Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, iTunes, Discogs.com, Musicbrainz, RateYourMusic, Soundcloud, blogs, forums, retail sites, and any site whose purpose is to sell rather than to record facts. Even if the sources are appropriate, Wikipedia isn't the place to post "A new album is coming next month" or "the band said they plan to record a new album" or "the band might go on tour next year". It is not a travel log, a tour book, or a diary. One doesn't "post" to Wikipedia the way one posts to Facebook or a forum or a chat room. One can write or edit Wikipedia, provided one knows the rules.
