GaragePunk.com Wikipedia Page

[mark young]

Who here's any good at wikipedia? If someone gets one started, I'm sure we can all contribute.

garagepunk.com needs to be here.

[kopper]

Go for it. Since I own this site, I'm not allowed to add a page on Wikipedia about it. Someone else will have to do it...

The guys pissed off about the forums being shut down would have a field day.

...if that's how they get their jollies. But, whatever. It's not like you can't just revert back to a previous version.

I don't care. If someone wants to do it, fine. But it's not high on my priority list or anything.

I can't believe there is no category on Wikipedia for music podcasts yet!

This needs to be added soon:

Get editing, boys!!

and we apparently have to provide some credible external source as to why it is we're all so fucking awesome.

So, according to Wikipedia The Garage Punk Hideout is a candidate for ‘speedy deletion’ for struggling to ‘indicate the importance or significance of the subject...’ but The Jesus Freak Hideout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Freak_Hideout) is perfectly acceptable...

The world truly is a terrifying place friends...

So now, once more please for slow BLOCKHEADS:
What?!! You put it up, and it was deleted?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

Talk about selective perspective on importance and protofascism then. Wiki you ain't Fuzzkers... you are F....

Jesus Freak? Christian rock music? I'm glad I don't live under THAT rock!

Yeah, Mark Young’s original was deleted by the wiki-police because no one could find external references demonstrating how significant the site is - apparently us insisting that we’re all cool as fuck just doesn’t cut it...

I’m trying to draft a new entry but most searches for garagepunk.com or The Hideout bring up either officially related stuff (and a site cant promote itself) or blog entries, which aren’t valid references (you shouldn’t have been so busy Kopper man)

Does anybody know of an article on another music site or in a magazine that mentions the original garagepunk.com, The Hideout or the podcast network? (I’m sure I remember something in Ugly Things)

There are a whole lot of much less worthy sites that have an entry so I’m sure we can put something together (if the damn Christians can do it...)

[El Tiki]

"valid references" ... my ass
"external references demonstrating how significant the site is" ... and who decides if the external reference is significant enough? That stinks ...

One day they'll just have to accept this site ... maybe we need to become a garagepunk-cult ... since they seem to like that religious shingaling.

IT STINKS LIKE A FUCKIN' a PIECE OF CURROPT CONGRESSMAN!

GR! GRRR! GRRRRRR!!!
