[edit] Copyright violation
I deleted the History section because almost all of it was copied word for word from cmt.com. See http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/dillards/bio.jhtml. Ward3001 22:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
If you would like, I can write some about their mid-sixties to early seventies album that were so vital. I see that the current era of editors are forgetting them and I am determined to not let that happen. I have a wealth of literature at my college library and will try to use references. Long live "The Dillards".
I got ahold of Rodney and told him that I would like to work extensively on this page and make it something really exhaustive. If that's okay with you- or whomever. I could also some help! I plan on starting on it this summer. Be sure to leave me a message- Thanks, Sean —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelseanhof (talk • contribs) 00:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's fine to get information from Rodney, but remember that all information must be cited from a reliable source (publication, webpage, etc.). Personal communications are not acceptable sources because they cannot be verified and are considered original research. But if you can back up what Rodney tells you with good sources, that sounds great. Ward3001 (talk) 01:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Sure Ward, He's going to point me in the direction of references, as well as other media sources-like what tv programs they played on, when, etc. All kinds of factual things that can be verified. He seems like an awesome guy-I had no idea he was so cool. He's also an extremely humble fellow so he would not be prone to exaggerate.
I would also like to get ahold of Mitch- he's a scholar and would be a massive help. I think he chronicled the band's career (even some after he semi-retired).
I am doing my MPA right now so I am used to references and citations. Maybe with your help and some other wikipedia writers/Dillards fans we can make one of the best pages on the site. These guys deserve it!
