The first place I check out any group is on http://www.last.fm
Then I go to wikipedia.

nice topic for me...

thanks for your idea... about..

Most artists focus on their official Web site and their MySpace profile while paying little attention to Wikipedia. According to data from Yahoo provided to Billboard, Wikipedia is the second most popular place to search for artist information after Google. Users search an artists Wikipedia entry by more than 2-to-1 over their MySpace page.

Wikipedia support all profile of band information. We can get band profile in there...

thanks for your article. Very help me. I will more like visit to webpronews site. :) Fantastic

I personally dont know a single person who goes to Wikipedia to search bands unless they are truly popular bands from years ago.

Myspace is partnering with the large labels in a music sharing program that will mean massive traffic to Myspace.com, so this story, while important, will likely be a moot point once that happens, as noone will be searching Wikipedia for bands unless theyare looking for historical data.

You can get a band submitted to Wiki, but the deal is that you have to submit the band in third person, and write in non-hype about the band and their achievements. Unfortunately, this doesn't rpvoide much benefit for the artist, since they cannot promote themselves there, and a regular listing there for a band reads like Physician wallpaper.
