Note that I have removed the speedy deletion tag from this page, as I believe the article asserts notability per

Is there a reason you replaced all the internal wiki links in Lowrider Band with external links, and broke the reference tag? —Swpb ^{talk contribs} 18:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Wardrums 14:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Wardrums...Plese excuse my ignorance, but I am the original founding member of the band War. I tried to sign in with the (4 tildes), but I can't seem to locate them on my keyboards. We are trying to let our fans know that we still are alive and performing our music that we (wrote and performed). There seem to have been a lot of stories put out in the media that we are no longer living or even worst, of which I will not mention.[reply]

I have tried my best to meet the requirements of WP. No, there is no reason why I replaced any of the internal links to wiki. I had our publisist re-write the short bio. We are trying not to offend anyone. All we want is for our history to be correct and not Stalinized by the very people that did us harm. Should I keep the internal links in? And if so please give me an example. Thank you for your help. HB

For links to pages within Wikipedia, you can put the title of the page in double brackets, [[like so]], which looks cleaner and is easier and faster to type than adding a link to the full URL. The page Help:Link explains wiki linking in all its various forms. I realize my comment probably came off as snappy, I apologize for that. By the way, the tilde looks like "~", and in a standard keyboard layout, it is in the upper left, to the left of the 1. If you have any more questions, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. —Swpb ^{talk contribs} 18:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was copy editing this piece and I think a could suggestion to the biography section would be explaining where Scott went with the army before he returned to the states. I am guessing Vietnam, but I am not sure. This would also make it more explicit that he had left the country. Labrt2004 19:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)labrt2004[reply]

You suggested a new picture for War. Pictures generally have to be released into the public domain before they can be used on Wikipedia; if there are no such pictures, "fair use" may be made of copyright photos, but this has to be carefully justified. Do you own a suitable picture to which you would be willing to give up your rights? (This is not for use on Wikipedia alone, but for anywhere that it may be copied or altered afterwards.) You can insist on the photo being attributed to you, but that's basically the only condition you can attach. The process can be a bit of a pain, so leave me a message here if you need more advice. - Fayenatic london (talk) 20:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
