You mean whether it has been covered in past videos, or whether it will be in future ones?

Past ones. Like if they showed which instrument was recorded first.

There's nothing on their website, Facebook, or anything. I'm probably stating the obvious here, but it's most likely fake.

one of the things i hate about Wikipedia, is the fact that stuff is updated all the time but never revamped later on. DT's bio from the last few years seems weird to read. The older stuff has been all cataloged and documented well before WP existed, but then it eventually looks like a news reel, everything in present tense (even though it could be talking about something that happened in 2004 for example)

Right, I fixed some articles up when I edited there daily, but it's difficult to get people to understand that they should not be writing down every single tiny little fact about them. Just a broad overview... that's part of the reason I started Ytse Times I guess, it is almost every detail about them.

And never go to WP looking for news, if it's true it should be cited to a reliable source that had it first anyway.

Yes, absolutely. Not to derail this, but an excellent example was when Wikipedia reported that Gabrielle Giffords was dead.

Not to go further off topic, but I just feel this needs to be said. The problem is that wikipedia doesn't "report" anything. People who have registered an account there do. They don't have a staff who report news. So even saying the phrase "wikipedia reports..." is not really accurate. They aren't a news source at all.

Yes, and you do not have to register an account to edit. All you do is click edit link near article, edit it, then save. It gets posted immediately.

I have deleted/changed some nonsense in the past.

EDIT: So to go back on to topic, this is why I do not place bets on the new drummer via Wikipedia.

Not to further derail this tangent, but yes, I know. I just couldn't think of a better word than "report." Said? Listed" Described?

I looked at the profile that was posted on WP. It was just some random teenager.

Even though I'm sure it's Mike Mangini, I'm sticking with my original choice of Thomas Lang.

This. But i would be happy with either option

emtee · « **Reply #4048 on:** March 09, 2011, 06:57:48 AM »

Just read a press release at B-mouth that Into Eternity announced a new drummer and not a single mention of
what happened with Steve Bolognese (I may have missed earlier info on the guy leaving or being fired...not sure)
so I'm just throwin' it into the mix just because there was no mention of Steve. I'm sure it's nothing
but this thread is all speculation anyhoo...

JediKnight1969 · « **Reply #4049 on:** March 09, 2011, 10:32:32 AM »

Someone said here that DT won't reveal the new drummer's name until the release of the new album to avoid prejudice to reduce sales. That's scarily logic. Even when JLB said "our new drummer is gonna blow your minds", if it's Mangini, after all the rejection around here, it's very posible, they've chickened out and decide to shut up until the record is out in the streets for us to check it out more objectively.

If this happen, then I think we probably got a rat indahouse...

Hmmm, I think it's certain that he is. "I was going to say, I can't comment on the hair unless I see it...;-)))" In response to the hair tweet. Plus the weather thing.

Oh man, now I've had a dream about the new drummer... in a way. I dreamt that I was watching the news and the market watch came on and I saw that DTF.org had skyrocketed in price, which I took as an indication that the new drummer announcement must have happened.
