<tr> <td rowspan="3" valign="top" ><h1>Welcome to the Louisville Hardcore/Punk/Indie Rock History.</h1>
YOU add what you want to the history... we'll clean up the mess.
The purpose of this History is to catalog the underground music scenes of Louisville, KY. Regional, smaller areas (insofar as the size of their punk/hc circles) such as Lexington, Evansville are more than welcome to add their information as well. We currently have 3,458 articles for you to expand on and contribute to as is. <br /> Thanks to vandals, spammers, and shady characters, before you edit or add any information, YOU MUST login above (or create an account first). Once you have done that, please head to the page or the [[Help:Templateshat our recomendations are as far as content and formatting. We ask this to help keep <span class="plainlinks"></span> track of who edits what and hold everyone accountable for what they submit. If the admins notice entries with misleading information or slanderous material, we will institute a policy where all edits will be moderator approved. And that's just a pain for everyone. Please [http://www.allaccentpillows.com/ throw pillows
There are a few admins here that are/have been the main people adding information, and know their way around. Feel free to contact them from the Contact page if you need further help. Thanks!!!</td></tr> </table>
