[edit]Hey, I've just a bit of a poke around Google and I've come up with a couple of sources that you could use here and here. There's a lot of coverage but as far as I can see most of it is non-professional; to use something on wikipedia it generally has to be a reliable source, which pretty much includes books/magazines/newspapers and some websites. I've got the Rock Sound coverage (uploaded here) but it might be a good idea to ask the band if there's been any coverage in Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and so on, and if they've got scans that they could send you. Might be a good idea to try emailing the magazines and see if they can help you out, most seem quite helpful. Especially the people at Rock Sound, their editors helped me out loads in the past.
Before you start the article I suggest you first start by getting familiar with the wikimarkup. It's not really that complicated but I remember being pretty confused at first! There's a useful tutorial page here. I usually find the best way of learning something is just going to a page and clicking the "edit" tab and comparing the code to the main page to see what everything does. Always click on "show preview" before you save a change to make sure it's come out as you want it to. Once you're vaguely confident I suggest you start the article in your own subpage; it won't be visible to people on the main website yet but it'll let you work on it without it being deleted and we can move it to the mainspace once it looks alright. Click on this link to make one: User:Mikeyxcore/Bury Tomorrow. This way I can also have a look at it and fix any problems that I see. Hope this helps, I've added this page to my watchlist so if you have any questions about anything at all you can ask me here or on my talk page. Cheers, doomgaze (talk) 12:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
