This page is completely 100% accurate. This information comes directly from Danny Paisley and his family. This Page is maintained by Mr. Paisley's management team, and information is updated immediately when any change is warranted. We are thankful for your interest in editing this page however, we politely ask you to refrain; simply because all necessary information is already in the article.

Thank You! ~~ Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass

Sorry, this is not the band's official website, and people connected with the band should not be editing it at all. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your band (in spite of the fact that they are really excellent!)—Anne Delong (talk) 03:48, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Anne!

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry that our intentions here have been misunderstood. Our intention here is not on the basis of Self-Promotion. Rather ensuring that the information on this page is correct. Unfortunately in the past, users have posted information that is not true. Subsequently, the false information became more well known than the factual information. This is the reason I was commissioned to make the page look professional and more importantly, factual. Also, ALL marketing teams for All bands maintain the bands Wikipedia page. It is a common responsibility to prevent false information about the band being spread.

Thank you! I hope this clears it up! Sincerely, ~~Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass

@Mandolinryan: You have received MULTIPLE warnings on your talk page as well as in responses on my talk page. You are in violation of multiple Wikipedia policies. I would STRONGLY encourage you to stop editing this page. If there are factual inaccuracies with his page, please discuss them here. We will be happy to assist, but you have a very clear WP:COI here and are engaged both in ownership and in an edit war.--Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 16:10, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mandolinryan:, although it's good that you have declared your conflict of interest in respect to this article, please sign your posts with your user name (or your real name if you prefer), but not with the band name, since it is against Wikipedia policy for organizations to edit Wikipedia, for copyright attribution reasons.

I agree that it is prudent for bands to keep an eye on information that is in the Wikipedia article about them. If there are errors, as Zackmann08 has mentioned, you can discuss on this talk page why you believe the text should be changed. It takes a little longer to do it this way, but you are more likely to get the results you want in the long run if you get a consensus with other editors before the page is changed. Also, I have edited thousands of other articles about bands, and can assure you that the content is not controlled by the articles' subjects.

I agree that even normally reliable sources can sometimes be mistaken, but Wikipedia doesn't give weight to information from editors who say "because I said so", since anyone can make an account and say whatever they want. Information that is not written in a published document, but only known personally by a few people, is usually just not included.—Anne Delong (talk) 18:25, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't list the city/state in which this band is based???

How is it possible that the author of this page forgot to include the very basic information of in which city/state this band is based, and still purport that this article is "encyclopedic"? Please correct this serious oversight immediately. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:25, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They appear to be based in Landenberg, Pennsylvania. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:29, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page protected from editing?

Why the heck is this page protected from editing? If there was a good reason for this, it should have been explained in the "Talk" page. If there isn't a good reason for this, please fix this situation. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
