Starry Eyed and Laughing[edit]
Hi Dreamyard
I note you have made a number of changes to the SEaL page, removing sourced facts and removing several references completely, whereas you have not provided any references to support any of the information you have added.
Wikipedia requires references from reliable sources to back up the facts of any article. Unreferenced information can be deleted, and without sufficient references, the entire article can be deleted. Before you started editing the article, there were 20 references from 10 sources, you have reduced this to 10 references from 7 sources, without giving any reason whatsoever. I will, therefore, be reverting most of your deletions, although retaining some of your textual changes, which do improve the article.
I note that, since I started writing this note you have started adding references, but most of these are to the band's own web-site, which may be considered biased, rather than to independant third-party references. If you wish to argue that any of the material and references you have deleted, should not be re-instated, please explain why on the article's talk page Talk:Starry Eyed and Laughing.
