Quite honestly, I'd never use Thickipedia as a genuine research resource. I use it purely for entertainment purposes.

Sadly, some people DO use it and take it seriously. In the past fortnight, a reunion of a band I love from the 1990's was wrecked thanks to it's lead singer reading on wikipedia that they were about to release a new album and go out on tour. The singer exploded, turned against the fellow band members, accusing them of all manner of things and the entire reunion project has now been scrapped, despite it being a year and a half in the making.

All because some moronic fan posted speculation as Fact on wiki. It has upset me and many other fans who were really looking forward to this reunion, but now that ain't gonna happen.

It seems to me that the only idiot involved there was the lead singer.

I was only listening to Stars on my MP3 player yesterday morning - great track with some great memories!

Anyone can edit the article and you don't need an account, though major changes on points of fact are best done through one. It's best if they're done with cited references to either page numbers in the book or any authoritative online sources.

I can have a bash myself but don't have either to hand to be able to start confidently.
