I find it quite strange that, a band, quite famous and popular, though they have a Wiki prophile, non of the original members of Saga has biographies on the site. I find thst to bw quite strange and disheartning , that the quite so skilled and inspiring musicians from the excelent Canadian band with so litle represtasion on Wiki. -------------

| You can always add them yourself, that's the point of wiki. |

That has been my experience as well with Wikipedia & musicians, they are pretty rigid with their rules. I don't blame them, they don't want to be an advert for bands & musicians! To make a contribution, it is necessary to include a LOT of third party documentation including links to news articles, magazine interviews etc. It's a lot of work, I've done it as a favor for some bands but it can be a very frustrating process, particularly when dealing with copyright issues of photos etc. This is one of my projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pezband" rel="nofollow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pezband ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Why do you need wiki to verify what you already feel? -------------

If someone makes a compelling argument, the Overlords of Wikipedia will allow it. It does take quite a bit of work and time. Problem is finding that person to devote that sort of effort. I've crossed swords with the Overlords a few times and have a bad taste in my mouth because of that. They define "control freaks." ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

I'm a pretty decent Saga fan, really like their material and have seen them live once back in '83. I agree their talent is excellent, I have never tried to do anything in wiki. I like Saga -------------
