[Wikipedia-l] Re: Backlinks

I would suggest the Ultimate Band List
(http://www.ubl.com) and Rolling Stone
(http://www.rollingstone.com) for bands, as they both
have useful profile sections.  They have Alexa ratings
of 2600 and 1700 respectively, and it might help draw
people to our 'current music' articles, which are
woefully lacking and stubby.
