Thanks for the message on my talk page. Interesting, but not quite sure why you posted it! – ukexpat (talk) 02:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Max Q (Astronaut band)

Thanks for updating that page, but your edits need to properly source the information to reliable sources. Please go back and add sources to the article. Thanks, -MBK₀₀₄ 23:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

My edits were based on unpublished information given to me firsthand by one of the astronaut bandmembers of Max Q. Considering that my AirTran article about Max Q was the original source for someone's creating this Wiki article, I recommend and request that my edits be allowed to stand.

Have you read this: Wikipedia:No original research? -MBK₀₀₄ 01:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia. Since published info about this band is rather scarce, I have sent a request to my contacts at NASA asking for a Max Q update to each astronaut bandmember's official online biography, if each astro agrees. For example, the NASA bios for Ferguson and Robinson confirm that they play instruments for the band. Will add reliable sources to the Max Q page in one sweep after NASA has had opportunity to respond and hopefully implement the above.

"Air & Space" magazine just published a feature article about Max Q. The story covers source verification for all of MBK's concerns mentioned above. The magazine even posted an early video performance of the band, courtesy of one bandmember. As a working freelance writer, I have not had time yet to properly post these links from the "A&S" article or the astronauts' NASA official bios to WP...
