Wail Help

And now the call for al good wail people to come to the aid of their favorite band (that would be us - the Wail)

In 2009 we connected with a viral marketing class at Villanova Univ (Philly) - they have been over-the-top helpful to us.  With their help we have submitted a tune to iTunes/Starbucks for their tune of the week program and are launching a number of online music sites.  The very top of the list is to create a  Wail page on Wikipedia,  I have registered but am still reading and reading about how to get the first article written and live.  If I figure it out, I would ask any of you to log in and edit/contribute.  If any one is a Wikipedia wizard I surely would invite your input.
