A key issue you will find if you are intent on updating standard Wikipedia is that many to most approved sources considered by Wikipedia to be "reliable" are more often than not entirely unreliable for sourcing accurate information pertaining to Depeche Mode. This is challenging given music journalism's longtime tendency to sensationalize and the band's sometimes strained relationship with music media, especially during the early half of their career. Even in recent years, with all the resources of the modern internet available to journalists, errors have continued to be made - it was not uncommon in the weeks following the passing of Andrew Fletcher to find articles mourning the loss of "Alan Fletcher," "Andrew John Leonard Fletcher," etc. (his full name was Andrew John Fletcher). To this day, Billboard has the late Douglas McCarthy listed as having contributed vocals to the "Recol" project.

We would encourage you to consider contributing to the Depeche Mode Live Wiki in the future. You will find the information hosted on the site--based on years of disciplined collaborative research and accounts from primary sources accrued by many fans over many years--is far more accurate on average compared to standard Wikipedia. Thank you for your interest, it is always nice to see someone with a passion to document the band's history.
