| == Alternative metal == | |||
| *] | |||
| I appreciate your thoughts, and I do want to approach this subject with the most civility. Curiously, I really don't have a vested interest in the subject; it's more that so many people were debating the topic and not doing anything about it I've had to force myself into the position of implementing change (plus the grammar was generally atrocious and some sections were just pasted word for word from websites or other articles). I've had to do similar edits for ] and ]. I'm going to move to editing ] in a day or two in order to clarify the difference between the two (although there is a case for a huge overlap between the two terms, since stores and music sites (including mp3.com, among others) where I've found "Alternative metal" in usage list a number (but not all) of nu-metal bands; "nu-metal" is genetrally used in the press and genre discussion for post Korn/Limp Bizkit alternative metal bands that are thoroughly mainstream, soemtimes as dinstinction and other times derisively). The thing is if anyone else has thoughts on the subject besides the two of us, they haven't really been sharing them recently (especially on the topic of a merge). I'd really like them to contribute to the discussion. Right now all I'm seeing is us going back and forth, and that certainly is not helping. ] 15:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Something else that should be considered is that ] ]; twice, I might add. A merger would be akin to deleting it, since the page would no longer exist and any searches would under a merger redirect to ]. You did propose the idea of a merge during the vote, but no one else did, and no one else concurred. Right now we need to have greater discussion on the topic of a merge before anything so drastic is undertaken. ] 16:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == ] == | |||
| Actually I've found sources that distinguish between nu metal and alternative metal, specifically that nu metal is the direct descendant of Korn and the Deftones rather than all so-called alternative metal bands. The important point is that both terms are used quite often; however, as our discussion have established, neither of them are used with exact accuracy and consistency as, say, something like ] or ] is to describe a particular distinct style. I have a couple of things to incorporate from my searches here and there, but due to personal obligations I've only slept like five hours today, so after a loooong rest I'll work on incorporating more links and sources in the articles. My first priority will be writing a proper history of nu-metal because, really, right now there's 3 sections or so detailing the trends that led up to nu-metal (alt metal, grunge, and post-grunge) without actually dealing with the subject at hand. Those will be merged together and followed up in detail. Once that's done, I'll work on the grammar, espeically rewriting sentences in both articles in order to make them both internally consistent (obviously a problem when working on something like Misplaced Pages where people add bits piecemeal). Hopefully by the time I'm done with that (or in the best scenario, before I'm done) there will be more contributions from others on both pages. That's my main concern right now, that no matter how this entire discussion turns out, once all is said and done someone chimes in to say "Wait a minute!" when it would have been more productive for everyone if voices had been raised and work done by others at this moment. ] 02:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, Leyasu. I have been watching this discussion unfold, and since you are both so close to violating ], I feel its time for me to interfere. SoothingR is fairly correct in this issue, despite the fact that you are too, to some degree. But the fact remains that inline citations have become somewhat of a standard when it comes to citing soruces for quotes or very specific facts, and those will certainly contribute for the article to reach Featured status. So if would please just let go and accept that they are needed, all would benefit. They break the flow of the sentence somewhat, true, but they should be there if the article is to pass the ] proccess. Regards, --] 18:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

==New wiki== | ||
| You've confused me - you say you are a dominatrix but also have a user box saying you are "a male in support of feminism". Doesn't that contradict? Isn't a dominatrix always female? Just curious ;) | |||
| Gothic metal and gothic-doom are the very same thing. What you call "gothic-doom" is simply the evolution of the genre. It's the same thing as creating a new genre for more recent heavy metal bands simply because they don't play in the exact same way Sabbath did. A genre will always be a genre. What is your main claim for classifying bands as gothic-doom? Abscence of vocals on opposing ranges? --] 00:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| But what I actually came here for is to invite you to join in at a new wiki I'm working on. It's about depression, and I see you also have a depression userbox on your page.

| :I am not willing to push this issue forward, as the difference between the definitions seems to not be worth discussing over, but I will have to ask three things of you, however. First, make the inwikis correct in order not to confuse people, in this manner: ], followed by "|gothic-doom metal", this will take the reades to that specific subsection of the gothic metal article. Second, if you are going to insist on changing categories also, you will have to create a category for Gothic-doom, that's non-negotiable. Don't forget that the second word on the genre is always in lower case. Also aknowledge that not all editors may agree with you, and the fact that I don't think the issue is worth discussing over does not by any means make this consensus. As such, my third request is that you provide sources for your claims on gothic metal. I hereby remove myself from this discussion unless my input is needed. What I am asking of you is merely from an admin standpoint. --] 01:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Sadly it doesn't answer my question. I mean, obviously there are male dominants, I knew that naturally. But I understood the –trix suffix to be specifically female - and was confused by the box that said you were male. But, no matter, it was just curiosity, and I see now that you also have a "this user is female box". I apologise if my question and invitation caused offence.

| Leyasu, first, if you have concerns over the complexity of the language on the article, you should understand that this is an attempt at an English encyclopedia, and as such does not need to have a simplistic and straightforward language, on the contrary, it is expected to have what we call ''brilliant prose''. For simple language, we have the simple English Misplaced Pages at . Issue number two, I do not see as significant, you can surely live with that. As for three, it is our duty to show all significant POVs. I did understand that you work with music, but then again, so do I. That does not necessarily means your POV should prevail, even if you know you are right! The Misplaced Pages is a place for all POVs to be considered, and at times there are no clear answers to questions, even if you think you have them. I mantain that I do not consider your complaints relevant on the greater scheme of things, please try to see the bigger picture. The article still needs certain improvements, but you might be missing the point. --] 04:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :What I was doing was cleaning up the backlog in ] by deleting speedy-tagged articles that need deletion, and removing the tags from articles that don't (often there are two or three). Tagging an article for speedy deletion means "ask an admin if he's willing to delete it". I am one of the admins who check up on the tagged articles and delete them, if necessary. As such, I fail to see how either action — deleting, or removing the tag — could ''possibly'' be considered "vandalism" by anyone willing to engage their brain for a few moments. | |||
| That user seems a pretty legitimate one to me; nevertheless I strongly oppose to creation of articles for pseudo genres. Also I haven't been able to fine a notability guideline for music genres. Maybe we ought to start one. | |||
| :] has explained to you above why the article ''couldn't'' have been deleted. Many admins will do the merge and redirect work themselves if that's the result of the ], but some won't. If you want to merge an article, add the relevant stuff to the merge target (using an edit summary like "merge from ]"), then replace the original article with a redirect. Neither article gets deleted. The speedy tag was inappropriate and, if you take a look at the wording of the tag, the proper action when dealing with an inappropriate speedy tag ''is to remove the tag''. It could ''not'' have been vandalism. ] (]) 03:25, 21 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| At this point I think we have an idea of where ] and ] are going. I think it's important to keep in mind that neither are absolute genres; alternative metal has a two-fold defintion based upon the common ground it has with metal and alternative, and nu metal more than anything refers to a movement than actual stylistic traits (although many bands do share them, as is prone to happen when trends become popular). However at this point, until we get more sources for either topic, there's little we can do. Personally, I want to focus on copyediting both articles (given I'm an English major and that's probably what I should be doing on Misplaced Pages above all else); that is, correcting grammar, rearranging sentences, rewriting parts, and resturcting the articles to make them more clear and concise. Basically, if you have any additional info to add to either of these articles, add it to them, contact me, and I'll try to integrate them as best as possible into the articles. Beyond that, I have no other ideas to suggest, but if you've got any, please share them with me. | |||
| == no admin == | |||
| ] is more problematic. I've already stated my views, so I'm not going to go too indepth into them. My concern is that a lot of the argument is possibly based on a misinterpretation of classification system like those used on ], as well as (as I see it) a misguied emphasis placed on the titles of the articles rather than their content. For example, those links provided recently in the talk page didn't actually help, because neither Encyclopedia Metallum or the FAQ provided make any sort of distinction beyond naming. | |||
| There seems to be some confusion regarding myself, but I am not an admin on WP. ] 19:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| My approach is in maintaining the original article, ], and the purpose it was created to fill. I don't think a metal music page is necessary (especially since to a great deal of people, the terms ''are'' interchangeable) but I have no objection to it existing if it fulfills a distinct purpose that does not detract from the original page. | |||

| ==more genres for delete== | |||
| Right now, aside from the genre list, both articles serve the same purpose; specifically, the history section. The material from the "the term heavy metal" and "Origins" (1960s and 1970s)" on the ] is summarized in a single paragraph in the "origins" section of ], although the summary proves ineffective as the more indepth description on the Heavy metal page is able to integrate sources and put them into context in order to effectively describe the origins of both the term and the genre. Also, the assertion that Black Sabbath is the first heavy metal band is rather tenious, and given that the term was applied to (and is still applied to) Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple since the early 70's (as evidenced by sources) it is factually incorrect. Additonally, both the sections "Undeground metal" and "Alternative metal" on the Heavy metal page attempt to cover the same ground the "Evolution" section on Metal music does, that topic being the emergence of a variety of subgenres. While the Heavy metal page section is much less detailed, keep in mind that metal subgenres did not really start to form until the early 80's, thus the heavy metal page has to cover more ground. Also, the intro paragraph to the History section on the Metal page is extremely POV ("like the term 'rock and roll' it is now gathering dust balls in the cupboard"). Without any sort of source, right now it seems like a personal declaration of the difference between the terms, and we can't have that sort of thing on an encyclopedia. | |||
| I put up some more of these pesky little genre-cruft thingies for afd | |||
| == Children of Bodom genre == | |||
| In order to remove ths redundancy, I think it would be best to simply remove the history and integrate it into the Heavy metal music article to fill out the evolution of subgenres. Right now the metal page works best in describing the subgenres (mainly because the ] was merged into it not too long ago). I can personally merge the history sections without much effort. However, the subgenres might be a little too descriptive for what is essentially a list; their own articles are intended to describe and define them indepth anyways. The more that text can be reduced while still being informative, the better. Not just out of a redundancy concern, but out of space concerns (a few weeks ago that page was push the KB limit). Another suggestion is to simply rename the page "heavy metal subgenres", "Metal subgenres", "List of metal subgenres", etc. But then again, that would also remove the purpose of there being a page called ]. I wouldn't mind, but others might mind and we still haven't sorted this whole thing out yet. | |||
| I have noticed your ignorance to the genre of ]. Whatever you may think is the genre of the band, does '''not''' change the genre they really play. If I like to call it "super metal", it doesn't make it "super metal". I can see that your "specialities" are power, doom, gothic and symphonic metal, which means that you are not a ] or a ] fan. | |||
| In the end, we are not the only ones working on ]. A large number of people have debated the topic since when I first signed up. Our best individual approach would be to provde sources on the topic in order to hopefully come to a conclusion. But until everyone else comes to an understanding between each other, I'm content to not edit either page too much beyond simple cleanup. Given the amount of passion attached to the subject I don't want to make any major changes that might cause an uproar, so I'd rather talk everything out before I do any major work on the page. | |||
| The genre of a band is described by what kind of ''music'' they play, and not their image, interests or what their fans would like them to call it. A music genre is supposed to be describe the music from an objective side of view. | |||

| ==The goth article== | |||
| Hi. I've noticed that you have made a change to the effect that Satanic imagery is ''fashionable'' in goth culture, probably because of its association with black metal, which goths dislike or despise. This doesn't seem to make sense. Why would they be influenced by something they dislike? Could you change this sentence somehow to clarify what is intended? E.g. you might want to say that it is fashionable ''despite'' the association with a disliked form of metal, or whatever. (Btw, might any influence not come from classic metal of the Black Sabbath/Dio kind rather than from something as specific as black metal, which I understand to be something quite specific and associate mainly with Scandinavia? I'm just asking. I don't know the answer, and I'm sorry to display my ignorance. You seem to have a lot of expertise on this topic that I lack; I'm just a bit confused by the current sentence in the article.) | |||

==Gothic Metal Bands== | ||
| I feel like there is little need to list 50+ bands on a genre's article. I think this should be reserved for bands that really exemplify the genre, in this case I would use Tristania as an example. Would it work for you if I create an article for Gothic Metal Bands, move that list over and then we can discuss which bands to leave on the main page? I'm heading out for the weekend, so I won't be able to do anything soon, but when I get back I would gladly do this. As for Cradle of Filth, I'm not sure where I said they were strict gothic metal, and musically they are only similar on a surface level. But it really seems as though Dani's lyrics are very gothic, especially on nymphetamine. Their lyrics haven't really been black metal since their first album, and their style has slowly moved away as well, so I'm really not sure what to do with them. ] 18:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Well, if the thing was voted on, then consider me against them being a useful part of the page. I hope others feel the same and realize that a large list of bands which the majority of people will not know does not help to clarify the genre. Having a small list of quintessential bands on the other hand is very useful as people who still don't get what a genre is about can go listen to them and hopefully understand. The giant list assumes that someone can listen to any of those bands and better understand the genre. Do you still disagree? ] 17:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| When I first posted mine, I gave a caveat that it might be too long for the word limit, but yours is getting a lot longer. At the top of the page, the ArbCom said, "When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise.... Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective." We're both over 1000 words, but you should really cut back on the diffs. You're up to over 200 diffs. If you make your evidence too long, the arbitrators might not read all of it, and that could affect the decision they agree upon. | |||
| Update: I do not see why speed metal can be removed for cleanup, but not thrash. However, i have decided to leave this as it is, and keep Venom on the speed metal bands page. I hope this is not a problem as well. --] 22:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I noticed that you were concerned about my interpretation about the Children of Bodom diffs. Regarding that, the evidence page says, "Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues." I'm not ignoring the edits where you did follow policy; we're all told to focus on edits where contributors go against policy, so that the arbitrators know what to look for and exactly where they can find it. | |||
| == type o negative == | |||
| Also, this comment that you made on the Evidence page borders on being a personal attack: "Concenring Idont's attacks at me and my edits on the Children of Bodom page, i point out that the users has disregarded sources in the same way as Dante, on the basis they do not count unless they agree with their POV ." I didn't say anything about that. When I write new articles, or revise articles on subjects that I know something about, I ''always'' consider as many points of view as I can find, provided that the sources look credible. I don't have to agree with the sources that I find; in fact, in some cases, it's important to go look for sources you don't agree with ("writing for the enemy"). I've edited articles on controversial topics where I had a stronger opinion; in those cases, except for one edit that I wish I hadn't made, I was saying, "The article reads like a rant", but rather than shifting the balance toward sources agreeing with my point of view (which I tried to leave out of the debate as much as possible), I wanted to ensure that all points of view were covered adequately. I wanted my opinion to be heard, but I didn't want to discount what the other editors on the page had been saying. As for the Children of Bodom debate, I don't have a POV; I've never even edited that article before. Aside from ] and ], I haven't edited many metal-related pages here. | |||

| I know you and maybe some others think Speed Metal is a reference to bands that fall between power/thrash metal. However, I hope you realize that this is clearly an opinion and, by implementing this and not the other view in the article, you violate NPOV. I know you are one to argue excessively without it going anywhere, so I will be as straightforward as I can. | |||
| == Before I do any more work == | |||
| I want you to explain why Motorhead and Venom are not speed metal, or are related to thrash/power metal. I don't need a source, just a good explanation as to why YOU think this. Then, I want to know why the Speed Metal article can display your POV, rather than talk about both views of the genre/term so that it remains NPOV. Also, the COB article has melo black metal ALREADY mentioned in the genre controversy, and as per cleanup, only the MOST RELEVANT genres should stay in the genre box (power/melodeath). Tell me what makes melo black metal relative to Bodom, and how stylistically they are close enough related to let's say Old Man's Child, to include it in the immediate genres. | |||
| You probably want my explanations for my views, so I will give you what I know and what is true. | |||
| I would like you to take a look at this: | |||
| Motorhead: Predates power AND thrash. Created speed metal (source? no problem. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3srv28oc05na~T1 ). Play faster classic metal, that does not have the tempo and notes relative to power metal, or the low notes and high aggression of thrash. | |||
| Venom: Raw production and harsh vocals, YES, does this make it thrash, NO! Predates both genres, and their albums are not considered thrash OTHERWISE this band would have the FIRST thrash albums, and Metallica is believed to have released the first thrash album. Early thrash metal was related to speed metal, but that means early Metallica/Anthrax/Slayer, not Venom, since their albums (as I said) are not relative to thrash metal. How so? Well, again, the sound is obviously not relative to power metal. Thrash metal? Well, for one they do not play in lower range of notes on their guitars, or give off that brooding thrash sound. It sounds just like NWOBHM played faster. This is not really up for debate since non of their albums are considered to be the first of thrash metal, as I said 5 times earlier. | |||
| Children Of Bodom share no similarity to Old Man's Child, other than the following: Melody, which is already covered in Melodic Death Metal. The black metal part? Alexi's vocals are somewhere between a growl and black metal's style, but instrumentally they have high tempos like power metal, and high melodic keyboarding and notes. They also have some parts that sound heavier in the vein of melodic death metal's style, but not black metal. No rawness or dark atmosphere, nothing like that. | |||
| I hope you read and consider this all, please, I beg of you, consider what I have told you and compile a thoughtful response that at least honours what I have taken time to type up. Thank you very much, and cheers! --] 01:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| In case you don't think anyone supports what I say for Speed Metal, realize that hundreds of edits before yours on that article had the SAME view. You completely edited everything and put POV all over the place. Please, consider what is believed by most others. I do not want to make any enemies...I currently have none, and I know you are only trying to make the metal articles more informative. Thanks again. --] 01:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Epica's third album — The Score ~ An Epic Journey — was released in September 2005. Not following the style of previous releases, the album is reminiscent of epic film soundtracks and is influenced by the music of Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. Characterised by guitarist, Mark Jansen, the album is "Typically Epica. Only without the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums" | |||
| I'm not exactly impressed with your efforts on the metal poll, reasons on the project talk page. I've been pretty accommodating so far, especially as I've known about your arbcom problems for a while and have consciously not goaded you into reverting or mentioned them to others who might take advantage. However, this is one big unilateral step too far, and my faith in your ability to work with others is really being challenged. Half the stuff you come out with is perfectly sensible and reflects a great knowledge of and love for certain areas of metal, so what's wrong with the other half? | |||
| The Score was never really there third album. All it really is, is a soundtrack for a movie in the Netherlands called Joyride. I think it would better if we put in what it really is so that any one who comes across it and want to pick up there CD's will see it for what it really is. I don't really want them to confuess it for there thrid album when it's not. by ] Feb 8, 2006 7:03 PM ET | |||
| A specific example regarding the poll, you've just opened to door to a lot of genres being kept on the template because most of the new voters dont understand why this poll is happening or what they are voting for, don't be surprised and start crying about cross-references when others try to walk through it. Then the trouble will really start when other cross-references start going on as well (something you yourself foretold on the project talk page), with the inclusion of other minor & cross genres as justification. That's going to be serious revert-bait, can you resist? I said a while back that the template either had to be stripped down (which we were heading for) or opened up to major, minor and cross referenced genres, and if this new poll takes us down the inclusive route then you're going to see everything from the HM list on the template, with no strong consensus about where the line for inclusion is. I'm on tenterhooks until April 30th. ] 13:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I was not trying to get you banned by doing a CheckUser; however, it is important to enforce all arbcom rulings. The evidence I saw from other users (I think Deiz was one of them) said that you were using anons to evade a block, which is an offense that can get your block extended. I assumed that the anons were impersonating you, and that they weren't really you, which was why I requested a CheckUser to see if the claims other people were making on ] were correct. This is especially important because you have been blocked four times for violating your revert parole, and you'll probably be blocked again shortly once another (uninvolved) admin sees the diffs from ] that I posted on ] recently. If I hadn't done the CheckUser for you, you would have gotten your fifth block then. After five blocks (for up to a week), the next block can be for up to a year. I'm not sure how likely the other admins will be to give a one-year block next time, but this should definitely be a warning for you if you want to keep editing here. | |||

But a word of advice, you've recently been advised about what does and doesn't constitute "vandalism", Spearhead and others are acting - perhaps wrongly given the AfD outcome - on consensus on a talk page, but not vandalising. "Vandalism" has a specific meaning within Misplaced Pages, especially to the admins who monitor the alerts board, that means you have to be careful when using it.

If removed material should be restored to any article, please make the case on the talk page and try to persuade others to restore it. To be safe, this also applies to vandalism. It's okay to revert if someone edits an article to say "WIKIPEDIA SUCKS" or "OZZIE IS A PEDO" or something like that, because it's obvious vandalism, but otherwise it probably isn't a good idea to risk appearing to violate a revert parole by reverting material that may have been added or removed in good faith by an editor (even if that removal is against Misplaced Pages policy or consensus). . --] 20:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

Due to my career and education, I would like to see this "straw poll" you refer to or anything written that you have reffered to; I was unable to find the quote you made in the notability section or the music topic. My biggest argument with your stance is that, correct me if I'm wrong, you don't seem to follow death metal much or tech death. Anyone that really follows death metal would know the difference between all the subgenres. I feel most stronly about tech death because it does have a defined begining and a defined scene. I see the tech death scene as an extention of death metal as death metal is an extention of thrash metal. Also black metal could be argued to be a cross over of Death and thrash metal. So when does a cross over become an official genre. Tech death has a growing scene of cross over bands with industrial, black, thrash and other influences. And if you consider it death metal because it is in the title, the style (cryptopsy's brand encluded)actually is a crossover of latin jazz, death metal, power metal and Grind.--] 2:07 5/1/06 | |||

Anyway I don't know what is your dispute with Deathrocker, I hope you'll clean that misunderstanding soon, it's contra-productive. Here is something that you may be interested: The begining of the Children of Bodom page at allmusic.com starts with ''The black metal outfit Children of Bodom''. You can check that . I think that classifies as a ''proffesional review''. But for the love of all is it so hard for you to just leave it power/death and move on with it. You created a genre controversy section where it says that they draw elements from black metal. Some reader may not notice that but is it really that important. Death metal, black metal it's all the same. How somebody perceives it is what matters! Hope you'll get back soon. ] 22:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project.

But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia. | |||
| To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic. | |||
| I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is | |||

| == Re: Is this vandalism? == | |||
| About Wisdom89, you were correct in adding the warning back, but you should have also added warnings from ]. Those scale up, so you'd start off with ], then ], then ]. (Careful with Wr2 though - since you can't block users I'd recommend posting to ] and explaining the situation if you're going to use it.) You can also do that for the anon(s), if they have also been removing the warnings. | |||
| It's possible that the anon doing the reverts was using a ]. Some ISPs (] is a common example) make it so that their members' IP addresses can't be picked up by third parties, so editors here who are AOL members may make one edit from one address, and then the next edit comes from another address, and so on. So the anon may not have seen your message. It's also quite possible that the anons reverting you could be on different ISPs or even in different countries; I went through the history of ] and noticed some vastly different IP numbers that you were reverting. So there's probably some combination of anon users on dynamic IPs and anon users on static IPs editing the page, rather than a proper "sock farm". The Request for CheckUser that you put in last week should tell us more about it. (A request for CheckUser that involved every IP editor on that page in the last month would take a while to complete and may be denied, though.) | |||
| I also recommend that when you warn the anons, you should use the standard warnings from ] (test1, test2, test3, test4) rather than writing your own. However, the debate over the genre for ] is a content dispute; neither you nor those who disagree with you are vandalizing the page when you change the genre. | |||
| --] (]) 23:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Re: Bodom == | |||
| In the diff you showed me, the anon said they were ''not'' vandalizing the page; and as I've been telling you, content disputes aren't vandalism. However, I have just warned him with ]. I still don't think all of the anons that have been reverting you are the same user; all of the 220.*.*.* ones probably are, but the others are probably different. It's best for you to just bring the genre topic back up on the talk page, keeping track of who's saying what by <nowiki>{{unsigned|Username or IP here}}</nowiki>. | |||
| You did violate 1RR again with these diffs. I've just asked Tony Sidaway what kind of enforcement he recommends for that. I've also asked him if it is ok for me to look up the anons' IPs using a whois service so that we can figure out what countries they're coming from (that would help me determine whether or not the anons are socks). --] (]) 14:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Peccatum == | |||
| This can be debated, but Peccatum doesn't fit the symphonic black metal description. In fact, most of the new releases aren't even metal, more of avantgarde rock. However, they are a prominent figure in the avantgarde metal scene (along with others). I agree that they make symphonic sounding melodies, and have some black metal influence, however (if i may use an analogy) it would be like calling Dying Fetus (Death/Grind/Hardcore) a grindcore band, you leave out portions of the genre. Whereas avantgarde covers the nonstandard sounds of the band. For more info, search up the band (or if you can, listen to them). You will see the clear distinction between them and the gothic/symphonic black metal bands. | |||

Gothic Hero
On the matter of Gothic Hero I couldn't agree with you more. If you could write an essay in your userspace showing all the evidence you have of this user's sock puppetry, we could tag him as a suspected sock puppet. While writing this essay, consider the account creation date and his contributions. Although I will still place the tag on his user page I urge you to write the evidence as soon as possible and keep in mind that there's always the possibility that he might not be a sock puppet. --– sampi (talk•contrib•email) 06:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just use your userspace (ej: User:Leyasu/Evidence of Gothic Hero's Suck Puppetry) and we will link it using the sock puppet tag on his user page and talk page. --– sampi (talk•contrib•email) 09:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The sock puppet tag has been edited accordingly, now we must wait for the CheckUser request and then the sock puppet should be banned. We should still monitor Gothic Hero's contributions and try to find consensus whenever he edits articles.
PS: Try not to break the 3RR yourself any more than you already have and try using some of the advice this essay provides on reverting (not just with this user but in general).--– sampi (talk•contrib•email) 21:06, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

New wiki
You've confused me - you say you are a dominatrix but also have a user box saying you are "a male in support of feminism". Doesn't that contradict? Isn't a dominatrix always female? Just curious ;)
But what I actually came here for is to invite you to join in at a new wiki I'm working on. It's about depression, and I see you also have a depression userbox on your page. The wiki is over at Wikicities, which is another project of Jimbo's (and Angela's) and I want to develop it into a resource for people with depression and a wiki community. If you are interested, the url is http://depression.wikicities.com. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sadly it doesn't answer my question. I mean, obviously there are male dominants, I knew that naturally. But I understood the –trix suffix to be specifically female - and was confused by the box that said you were male. But, no matter, it was just curiosity, and I see now that you also have a "this user is female box". I apologise if my question and invitation caused offence.

Somehow "friendly face" and "dealt with you before" don't go hand in hand. It's like "Hey, I know you punk. I've dealt with you before. Cuff him partner!". Get the picture? But thanks anyway. And also nobody replyed anything conserning Hatchet, I've asked a couple of admins and nothing. We'll see if he'll come back. And there is no rule on WP:USER in concern of removing warnings!!! Death2 00:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes everyone makes mistakes, but I was really anoyed by that whole thing that happened and they all jumped me with warning messages. So I cooled off and got over it and wanted to move the damn warning and xx_something tells me I can't edit my own talk page. It's like an oil being poured into fire. LITERALLY! And dealt with you, I know, I was just joking, and I can't resist to comment somebody, since everyone is doing it to me! Do you have my talk page on your watchlist you camed down to smooth things really fast? Bye Death2 01:45, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

vedic metal at al.
That user seems a pretty legitimate one to me; nevertheless I strongly oppose to creation of articles for pseudo genres. Also I haven't been able to fine a notability guideline for music genres. Maybe we ought to start one.
Notable some of those are superfluous: epic metal, oriental metal, Power violence Cybergrind, goregrind, probably more...

Children of Bodom genre
I have noticed your ignorance to the genre of Children of Bodom. Whatever you may think is the genre of the band, does not change the genre they really play. If I like to call it "super metal", it doesn't make it "super metal". I can see that your "specialities" are power, doom, gothic and symphonic metal, which means that you are not a black metal or a death metal fan.
The genre of a band is described by what kind of music they play, and not their image, interests or what their fans would like them to call it. A music genre is supposed to be describe the music from an objective side of view.
If you think you are 100% certain that Children of Bodom is a black metal band, read what black metal is and listen to some black metal bands. Personally I wouldn't even call Children of Bodom death metal, but it is not as stupid as calling them black metal. I have listened to death metal and black metal for about 5 years and I'm weekly discussing metal at a heavy metal forum called metal-archives (http://www.metal-archives.com). Genre disputes has often been discussed at the board, including Children of Bodom. I advise you to look it up and read what others than yourself think. Because Children of Bodom is not a black metal band in any way. You are 100% wrong, so stop editing the wikipedia-page and making the encyclopedia unreliable and display factual mistakes.
And for your "vandalism"-edits, I strongly advise you to read this page. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution

Hello My Brain
I want to thank you for inviting me to participate in the vote about genre template, for considering me as an user who's opinion is even worth to share. Because i contribute and ain't no vandal. But i think i'm gonna skip this vote (except a couple of them maybe) it's all the same to me. And you're not my brain my brain is me, i am my brain. Yea i know how much energy it spends on keeping itself in good form. See ya! Death2 08:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah i forgot to say nice jobe on getting yourself blocked. It reminds me on my not-so-long-ago incident, hah! Genre for CoB... Huh! I suppose they have a bit with melodic black metal especially Something Wild. It has that dark vibe within it and hate. Google seems to be stuck within his own limitations of thought. When I first started to listen to the band i thought they were black/death metal. But i newer thought they are power metal, but back then i dind't know what is power metal. Genre classification sucks, except those global hints, but if somebody likes the band they will listen to it and called them THEM! Yes i suppose those who haven't heard them would like to get more info about the band before they listen to them but they wont know anything about the band(their music) before they hear them. And black metal tag isn't going to scare them off! Bye. Death2 09:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Gothic Metal Bands
I feel like there is little need to list 50+ bands on a genre's article. I think this should be reserved for bands that really exemplify the genre, in this case I would use Tristania as an example. Would it work for you if I create an article for Gothic Metal Bands, move that list over and then we can discuss which bands to leave on the main page? I'm heading out for the weekend, so I won't be able to do anything soon, but when I get back I would gladly do this. As for Cradle of Filth, I'm not sure where I said they were strict gothic metal, and musically they are only similar on a surface level. But it really seems as though Dani's lyrics are very gothic, especially on nymphetamine. Their lyrics haven't really been black metal since their first album, and their style has slowly moved away as well, so I'm really not sure what to do with them. marnues 18:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, if the thing was voted on, then consider me against them being a useful part of the page. I hope others feel the same and realize that a large list of bands which the majority of people will not know does not help to clarify the genre. Having a small list of quintessential bands on the other hand is very useful as people who still don't get what a genre is about can go listen to them and hopefully understand. The giant list assumes that someone can listen to any of those bands and better understand the genre. Do you still disagree? marnues 17:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Venom - rv war
Hello, it seems that we are in disagreement on the Venom classification. I really do not want to start a revert war, so I have left in both genres. If you want a source for this, check Metal Archives' page for Venom (http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=128). As you can see the M-A team supports this classification. Post your comments on my talk or preferably the Venom page. Thanks for taking time to read this. Edit: Forgot to sign --Ryouga 23:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Update: I do not see why speed metal can be removed for cleanup, but not thrash. However, i have decided to leave this as it is, and keep Venom on the speed metal bands page. I hope this is not a problem as well. --Ryouga 22:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
type o negative
Hello, I divided the newly added text into subchapters but you reverted my edit (thus deleting the titles of the chapters as NPOV but the text was left in its original shape except the part about Life is Killing me which was removed). How do chapter titles violate NPOV? By the way, after the revert because of NPOV, sentence I modified because of NPOV was left in its original meaning "By striking a fine balance between the commercial and the creative, Type O Negative released arguably the greatest album of their career, “October Rust”." --Dudo2 07:12, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Children Of Bodom: possible cleanup?
I see that one of the goals of the wikimetal group is cleaning up subgenres, and I'm sure you've noticed 3 in Bodom's page. I just want to see your input for the following:
-remove 'melodic black metal' per cleanup
I say this since Melodic Death Metal and Power Metal are more relevant, and melodic black metal clutters up the page unnecessarily. Thanks. --Ryouga 00:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Speed Metal - NPOV
I know you and maybe some others think Speed Metal is a reference to bands that fall between power/thrash metal. However, I hope you realize that this is clearly an opinion and, by implementing this and not the other view in the article, you violate NPOV. I know you are one to argue excessively without it going anywhere, so I will be as straightforward as I can. I want you to explain why Motorhead and Venom are not speed metal, or are related to thrash/power metal. I don't need a source, just a good explanation as to why YOU think this. Then, I want to know why the Speed Metal article can display your POV, rather than talk about both views of the genre/term so that it remains NPOV. Also, the COB article has melo black metal ALREADY mentioned in the genre controversy, and as per cleanup, only the MOST RELEVANT genres should stay in the genre box (power/melodeath). Tell me what makes melo black metal relative to Bodom, and how stylistically they are close enough related to let's say Old Man's Child, to include it in the immediate genres.
You probably want my explanations for my views, so I will give you what I know and what is true. Motorhead: Predates power AND thrash. Created speed metal (source? no problem. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3srv28oc05na~T1 ). Play faster classic metal, that does not have the tempo and notes relative to power metal, or the low notes and high aggression of thrash. Venom: Raw production and harsh vocals, YES, does this make it thrash, NO! Predates both genres, and their albums are not considered thrash OTHERWISE this band would have the FIRST thrash albums, and Metallica is believed to have released the first thrash album. Early thrash metal was related to speed metal, but that means early Metallica/Anthrax/Slayer, not Venom, since their albums (as I said) are not relative to thrash metal. How so? Well, again, the sound is obviously not relative to power metal. Thrash metal? Well, for one they do not play in lower range of notes on their guitars, or give off that brooding thrash sound. It sounds just like NWOBHM played faster. This is not really up for debate since non of their albums are considered to be the first of thrash metal, as I said 5 times earlier. Children Of Bodom share no similarity to Old Man's Child, other than the following: Melody, which is already covered in Melodic Death Metal. The black metal part? Alexi's vocals are somewhere between a growl and black metal's style, but instrumentally they have high tempos like power metal, and high melodic keyboarding and notes. They also have some parts that sound heavier in the vein of melodic death metal's style, but not black metal. No rawness or dark atmosphere, nothing like that. I hope you read and consider this all, please, I beg of you, consider what I have told you and compile a thoughtful response that at least honours what I have taken time to type up. Thank you very much, and cheers! --Ryouga 01:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
In case you don't think anyone supports what I say for Speed Metal, realize that hundreds of edits before yours on that article had the SAME view. You completely edited everything and put POV all over the place. Please, consider what is believed by most others. I do not want to make any enemies...I currently have none, and I know you are only trying to make the metal articles more informative. Thanks again. --Ryouga 01:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
faith
I'm not exactly impressed with your efforts on the metal poll, reasons on the project talk page. I've been pretty accommodating so far, especially as I've known about your arbcom problems for a while and have consciously not goaded you into reverting or mentioned them to others who might take advantage. However, this is one big unilateral step too far, and my faith in your ability to work with others is really being challenged. Half the stuff you come out with is perfectly sensible and reflects a great knowledge of and love for certain areas of metal, so what's wrong with the other half?
A specific example regarding the poll, you've just opened to door to a lot of genres being kept on the template because most of the new voters dont understand why this poll is happening or what they are voting for, don't be surprised and start crying about cross-references when others try to walk through it. Then the trouble will really start when other cross-references start going on as well (something you yourself foretold on the project talk page), with the inclusion of other minor & cross genres as justification. That's going to be serious revert-bait, can you resist? I said a while back that the template either had to be stripped down (which we were heading for) or opened up to major, minor and cross referenced genres, and if this new poll takes us down the inclusive route then you're going to see everything from the HM list on the template, with no strong consensus about where the line for inclusion is. I'm on tenterhooks until April 30th. Deizio 13:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, to avoid extension on your ban, we'll wait till it's lifted before we talk since Deiz told me we can get into trouble if you continue use of an IP. Anyway, some user went through the Metallica albums and messed up the genres (progressive metal, blues rock, added 3 genres to some that only need one, etc.) so I just reverted those and etc. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend use of an IP for now other wise we'll probably get into some trouble. See ya for now. --Ryouga 20:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not vandalising anything.
Vandalism is deliberately defacing a page. If I were blanking it or something, then you could validly accuse me of vandalism. However, I'm making a change that is supported by pretty much every other user on that page. If you tell me which parts of Bodom's music contain elements of melodic black metal, then I will reconsider. 220.239.82.216 12:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Tech metal
Unsure about this one, could use a little help. Look through, and if I have anything wrong there feel free to edit it up. --Ryouga 23:25, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- You know what? I think you're right. Honestly, most bands listed there are given incorrect, usually band-promoting genres, like a metalcore band with 'tech progressive death/grind with jazz influences' or a death metal band with 'brutal technical jazz-influenced death/thrash/grind' as some examples. On top of that, while most of the article I verified as I could...I'll be honest. I don't know what the hell Tech Metalcore or Mathcore REALLY are, and the stuff revolving around that is what I could find out, but could be incorrect. Put it in AFD if you will, and we can just make sure that the actual genres (tech death, mathcore) have verifiably correct articles. Drop a line. --Ryouga 20:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
It already went through and passed AfD, so I have left it, but kept the 'expert tag' and will keep watch for vandalising promoters. As for Gothic Metal, I don't know too much about it since I don't listen to it, but if I can get some band names I can definitely do *some* research and start an article. I assume the bands you want done are red links on Goithic Metal pages, right? I'll get started when I can. See ya --Ryouga 01:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Gothic Metal
K, this is the first one, Aion: http://en.wikipedia.org/Aion_%28Band%29
If I find out any bands are generally not agreed as Goth Metal, I will remove them from the list.
If you need to contact me about any of these edits / anything, just message me. Bye. --Ryouga 01:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- So far: Verified 3 bands as "Gothic Metal," started their articles accordingly. One band I couldn't find the tag "Gothic Metal" for, so they were removed for: Non-Notability and/or Irrelevance to "Gothic Metal." If they are to be readded I said in the edit summary to provide source or something proving relevance to genre. Am I doing ok thus far? Anyway, I gotta run. Will continue later. Have a good night. --Ryouga 01:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
The CheckUser / 5 blocks
It was Jayjg who did the CheckUser, not me; I don't have the rights to do it (only most ArbCom members and a few others can). So please ask him if you have any questions.
I was not trying to get you banned by doing a CheckUser; however, it is important to enforce all arbcom rulings. The evidence I saw from other users (I think Deiz was one of them) said that you were using anons to evade a block, which is an offense that can get your block extended. I assumed that the anons were impersonating you, and that they weren't really you, which was why I requested a CheckUser to see if the claims other people were making on WP:AE were correct. This is especially important because you have been blocked four times for violating your revert parole, and you'll probably be blocked again shortly once another (uninvolved) admin sees the diffs from Children of Bodom that I posted on WP:AE recently. If I hadn't done the CheckUser for you, you would have gotten your fifth block then. After five blocks (for up to a week), the next block can be for up to a year. I'm not sure how likely the other admins will be to give a one-year block next time, but this should definitely be a warning for you if you want to keep editing here.
As I told Deiz today, since we're still in a dispute at Gothic metal, I will not block you. However, I will let other admins know, with diffs, if you violate your revert parole, since arbcom rulings must be respected.
--Idont Havaname (Talk) 04:54, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for admitting that you violated the ruling... but no, the reverts you did were not reverts of vandalism. I asked about this at WP:RFAR a few weeks ago, and you replied in that request. Sam Korn, who is one of the arbitrators, said, "That is not clear vandalism. Clear vandalism is "I JUST HACKED UR SIGHT LOL". Maybe it was vandalism. It wasn't clear vandalism, though. If it's arguable that it's not vandalism, it isn't." Most of what most Wikipedians consider vandalism is stuff that people who watch Special:Recentchanges revert within several minutes. Please read WP:-( again, particularly the section on what vandalism is not, and ask on its talk page if you think the policy isn't clear. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 05:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Enforcement of revert parole
This is a copy of my statement on Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement:
- Leyasu is skating on very thin ice despite having had the meaning of "simple vandalism" clearly explained to him by arbitrators quite recently . I'm blocking for the current maximum of one week, and the next offence may attract a much longer block as it will be the sixth infraction and the maximum block length has gone up to one year. --Tony Sidaway 13:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
black metal sections
Do not re-add troll metal and faggoth sections to the black metal page again; this has been discussed at length on the talk page and concensus is reached that this should not be part of this page. Any re-addition is concidered an act of vandalism and will be reported as such. As I said before if you value the contents, copy them to a more appropriate place or temporarily store them on your user space. Spearhead 15:14, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- sections can't go through afd. And go ahead, report. Spearhead 15:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Welcome back...
Nice to see the fire still burns. You have a point about Troll metal, it was "kept" in an AfD and can't just be got rid of. I've posted on the relevant talk and Admin pages, and I'm sure we can find somewhere to put it. As a last resort I don't see why it can't be restored to its own page? But a word of advice, you've recently been advised about what does and doesn't constitute "vandalism", Spearhead and others are acting - perhaps wrongly given the AfD outcome - on consensus on a talk page, but not vandalising. "Vandalism" has a specific meaning within Misplaced Pages, especially to the admins who monitor the alerts board, that means you have to be careful when using it. Hopefully this can all be worked out quickly, big day tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it immensely ;) Deizio 16:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Children of Bodom page protection
I prefer to have an uninvolved admin protect the page, so I've filed a request for page protection for it at WP:RFPP. It should be protected sometime today, but in the meantime just leave the Children of Bodom page alone so that you won't violate 1RR. (It looks like you already may have at Black metal.) --Idont Havaname (Talk) 16:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- The request for page protection was denied. So it looks like you all are on your own... just please don't change the genre of that band; use the talk page and leave the genre description to the other editors so that you won't get blocked again. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 17:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Revert parole violation
You've been back for a few hours and already you have violated your revert parole by twice restoring a removed section on the Black metal article .
I also have a strong suspicion that during your seven day block you used non-logged-in editing to evade that block and continue edit warring (for selected samples: ).
In the circumstances, the immediate resort to edit warring alone is sufficient to demonstrate that you are not responding appropriately to your revert parole.
Under the terms of your probation, I am banning you from editing the article Black metal. This ban is to last for the duration of your probation, or until I or another administrator decides to revoke it.
Please take this ban seriously. You can be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages for up to one year if you do not respect it. Such a block would apply to all users, logged-in or not, performing the kind of edit warring that you have been doing, if there is a reasonable suspicion that they are your socks.
Also please take it as a warning that you will be banned from other articles if you edit war on them.
I have decided not to block you on this occasion, but if you continue to edit war I shall block. --Tony Sidaway 18:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I'll choose to take your word that the other editor on Children of Bodom was not you. I'll also accept that you didn't intentionally violate your revert parole on black metal. So I'll rescind the ban on editing that article.
- But I have to warn you that a revert is defined fairly liberally in this context, and does include the restoration of previously deleted material. If removed material should be restored to any article, please make the case on the talk page and try to persuade others to restore it. To be safe, this also applies to vandalism. It's okay to revert if someone edits an article to say "WIKIPEDIA SUCKS" or "OZZIE IS A PEDO" or something like that, because it's obvious vandalism, but otherwise it probably isn't a good idea to risk appearing to violate a revert parole by reverting material that may have been added or removed in good faith by an editor (even if that removal is against Misplaced Pages policy or consensus). . --Tony Sidaway 20:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Another Arbcom case.
I'm filing another case against Deathrocker. Care to give a statement? Will (@) T 21:14, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not declaring myself as a party in this one right now, though I might do that later. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Why Merge?
I've been reviewing some of your work and various things that have been done and it seems that mergers minimize information and devalue Misplaced Pages as a whole. I'll admit I don't know if the unblack metal article was completely lacking, but I know it's blurb on christian metal says practically nothing. Musically, unblack metal belongs with black metal, lyrically it belongs with christian metal. Why limit a persons ability to get knowledge or hide it in a place someone would never look.
Is there any reason you believe subgenres shouldn't have there own articles? I understand lines must be drawn, but when there is an expert on the topic and provides detailed dates and names of the formation and present state, why not let it run.--Daevin 08:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
That's fine if there are standards on how to set up each page, but I looked through Wikipedias guidelines and I couldn't find any standards on it. I think I could turn the tech death article into b class for sure and possibly even better. If there is some list of standards, I'd love to see how the article doesn't deserve its own page.--Daevin
I would agree you try to be neutral and don't seem to cross civility as I try to do the same. Due to my career and education, I would like to see this "straw poll" you refer to or anything written that you have reffered to; I was unable to find the quote you made in the notability section or the music topic. My biggest argument with your stance is that, correct me if I'm wrong, you don't seem to follow death metal much or tech death. Anyone that really follows death metal would know the difference between all the subgenres. I feel most stronly about tech death because it does have a defined begining and a defined scene. I see the tech death scene as an extention of death metal as death metal is an extention of thrash metal. Also black metal could be argued to be a cross over of Death and thrash metal. So when does a cross over become an official genre. Tech death has a growing scene of cross over bands with industrial, black, thrash and other influences. And if you consider it death metal because it is in the title, the style (cryptopsy's brand encluded)actually is a crossover of latin jazz, death metal, power metal and Grind.--Daevin 2:07 5/1/06
Welcome back
Hey, welcome back. Try to stay out of trouble, we need you here. If you need any help conserning a problem, say so maybe I can help??? Good lock. Haha slip of a tongue. Death2 16:45, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking more like "Explain why do you think there category should add melodic black metal", just in a few short words because I also think that they have some influences (on first two albums), and then I can help you to express why to other users. I'm not sure if i wanna jump into a revert war now (maybe a bit later). See you, keep in touch! Death2 02:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, i'm with you. melodic black metal! A bot made changes to the article as well as several hundred anons so I did the best i could. Somebody restored the pic of the band instead of the logo don't know what to do with that. Shall we try (debated)? haha. Death2 03:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, to respond, I didn't had time. I usually work on the albums (out of the heat zone) so... I don't know much about ghotic metal and was planing to finish work on some albums and then get some free time back for myself. You wanna do something but it's not wikipedia, it's not a waste of time but there are just other, better things to do. I see that you are somwhat tired of rules here, and arbcom's i suppose. Yeah but I can't complain I worked on albums and music groups around here and discovered a couple of them I never heard before and they are damn good so mission acomplished. Misplaced Pages is suppose to serve to us as much as others, when you cross that line, get off this damn boat and swim back home! We will talk again, after we take a brake. Stay well. Death2 04:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- For an example I was working on Tim Buckley albums, so I'm not in one area primarily, it mostly encompasses music but on many levels. But don't worry I do plenty of work on Black metal bands, especially avant-garde and also am keeping an eye on CoF and Dimmu. And their albums. And many more. Death2 05:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Please check Dimmu, somebody added all of their record companys into the infobox, is that necessary? Death2 08:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing core except Century Media, but this is not so important, I have some other stuff that I'm going through and don't know what to do with an AOL adress that is doing all this mayhem so please check all CoF albums they have been messed with, please? Death2 08:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Refering to Cradle or Dimmu, I've lost you? Dimmu has previously been signe with those labels, but no longer, only has contract with Nuclear, I'm not sure for Cradle their labels are messed up throughout the albums!!! Death2 08:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, CambridgeBayWeather take cared of Tech death metal, I was logged out. Death2 19:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Refering to Cradle or Dimmu, I've lost you? Dimmu has previously been signe with those labels, but no longer, only has contract with Nuclear, I'm not sure for Cradle their labels are messed up throughout the albums!!! Death2 08:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Deathrocker
The case will probably be accepted, so maybe there should be a temporary injunction against him if that's the case.
I don't know how you, I, or Sceptre were assuming bad faith in our statements. I was posting my statement pretty much from memory, and while it may have been over the top, we did both have diffs for backing up what we said. He definitely was, however, and he's been using that to launch personal attacks ever since he came back. In the meantime, the best thing for us to do is just to not fight him and let the arbitrators decide what to do.
We've already told the arbitrators far more than they need to know in merely deciding whether or not the case should be accepted. So now we should mainly just wait for them to accept, get the case started, and then if Deathrocker's still being difficult I'll ask Sceptre if he thinks it will be wise to have Deathrocker placed on a temporary injunction during the case.

Hey
Dude, why do you think that me and Deathrocker are the same guy? Were NOT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike5193 (talk • contribs)
Sorry
It's not good to hear this kind of stuff, always getting blocked for what???!!! Anyway I don't know what is your dispute with Deathrocker, I hope you'll clean that misunderstanding soon, it's contra-productive. Here is something that you may be interested: The begining of the Children of Bodom page at allmusic.com starts with The black metal outfit Children of Bodom. You can check that here. I think that classifies as a proffesional review. But for the love of all is it so hard for you to just leave it power/death and move on with it. You created a genre controversy section where it says that they draw elements from black metal. Some reader may not notice that but is it really that important. Death metal, black metal it's all the same. How somebody perceives it is what matters! Hope you'll get back soon. Death2 22:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Truce
Hi...
I'm offering a truce, as I'm sick of arguing with you on here so often, its not what I come to this site for... and it doesn't get either of us anywhere.
I know that the latest huge debate wasn't instigated by either of us (the Arb thing)...
It would be much better if we just tried to avoid each other, but when we are editing the same article, to work together in a civil manner... it seems pointless going around in circles attacking each other/butting heads.
What do you say? - Deathrocker 13:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Sirenia (band)
The gothic metal band sirenia is listed in List_of_black_metal_bands#S as Sirenia which is an animal. There is no other band Sirenia except this gothic one. Since they have no connection with black metal (I don't know, do they?) why are they in that list. I already put an expert tag but nobody cleaned that. Can you take a look when you get back? Death2 21:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Children Of Darkness
Have you seen my comment on their black metal status (from allmusic.com). I was thinking that we should first put your info on the talk page so that other users see our point than going and reverting the page hundred times per day. It's pointless, if they don't agree with you they'll just erase death/black and tell you to go fuck yourself. Deizio said that he will review the situation on that page if somebody asks him to (he is not familiar with the situation!) Death2 23:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- I thought the warning is don't put black metal. Can you give me a link to that consensus that all tree are going into the infobox. Death2 23:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Question
Thanks for your question. Removing warnings from user talk pages is vandalism, per Misplaced Pages:Vandalism. Template:Wr warns against doing it, and Template:Wr2 refers to it as vandalism. (Both of those templates are in WP:WARN, which lists the standard warnings for users.) --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Marijuana Wiki
Hi there,
I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.
I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Misplaced Pages, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.
To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.
I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki
Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!
-- nsandwich 23:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hi again!
- I think I may have given you the wrong impression. I am not trying to promote any sort of "illegal community." It's not illegal to discuss pot, and my wiki intends to encourage discussion of the health and legal aspects of marijuana. It is a community site for and about marijuana. I hope to have the contributions of all points of view on that site. But if you're not interested, that's cool. Take care! :) -- nsandwich 00:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Avant-garde
I've added some thoughts on this Talk:Avant garde metal talk page. If you have some time please read it. I would like to hear some comments on that. This little essay has a bit of a sharp edge but don't take it personally I'm just being critical on some points. Thank you. Death2 22:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Is this vandalism?
About Wisdom89, you were correct in adding the warning back, but you should have also added warnings from WP:WARN. Those scale up, so you'd start off with Template:Wr0, then Template:Wr, then Template:Wr2. (Careful with Wr2 though - since you can't block users I'd recommend posting to WP:AN/I and explaining the situation if you're going to use it.) You can also do that for the anon(s), if they have also been removing the warnings.
It's possible that the anon doing the reverts was using a dynamic IP. Some ISPs (AOL is a common example) make it so that their members' IP addresses can't be picked up by third parties, so editors here who are AOL members may make one edit from one address, and then the next edit comes from another address, and so on. So the anon may not have seen your message. It's also quite possible that the anons reverting you could be on different ISPs or even in different countries; I went through the history of Children of Bodom and noticed some vastly different IP numbers that you were reverting. So there's probably some combination of anon users on dynamic IPs and anon users on static IPs editing the page, rather than a proper "sock farm". The Request for CheckUser that you put in last week should tell us more about it. (A request for CheckUser that involved every IP editor on that page in the last month would take a while to complete and may be denied, though.)
I also recommend that when you warn the anons, you should use the standard warnings from WP:WARN (test1, test2, test3, test4) rather than writing your own. However, the debate over the genre for Children of Bodom is a content dispute; neither you nor those who disagree with you are vandalizing the page when you change the genre.
--Idont Havaname (Talk) 23:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Bodom
In the diff you showed me, the anon said they were not vandalizing the page; and as I've been telling you, content disputes aren't vandalism. However, I have just warned him with Template:Edit summary personal. I still don't think all of the anons that have been reverting you are the same user; all of the 220.*.*.* ones probably are, but the others are probably different. It's best for you to just bring the genre topic back up on the talk page, keeping track of who's saying what by {{unsigned|Username or IP here}}.
You did violate 1RR again with these diffs. I've just asked Tony Sidaway what kind of enforcement he recommends for that. I've also asked him if it is ok for me to look up the anons' IPs using a whois service so that we can figure out what countries they're coming from (that would help me determine whether or not the anons are socks). --Idont Havaname (Talk) 14:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
As set out on the admins' noticeboard, you have violated your revert parole in Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Leyasu for the sixth time. I have blocked you for a month. Please cool down; I don't want to have to do this again for an even more extended period. I could have blocked you for a year, but I believe there is a chance for you to reform. Johnleemk | Talk 17:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Unblock Request
{{unblock|I have been wrongly accused of violating my revert parole on the ] article. I have persistantly been in contact with the admin ] in how to deal with a string of vandalistic edits to the article. After previous violations of the parole i understand im 'skating thin ice' and have kept my compulsive behaviour in check by taking several Wikibreaks. As such i have been blamed for reverting the article under an anon when the edit was made while i was adding eveidence to the ] ArbCom case. As such i ask for an unblock as this is an unjustified block, and i also ask for a check user to show that this was not me}}
- Wrongly accused? The AER post by Idont Havaname links to two diffs showing this account made two content reverts (there was no vandalism as far as I can ascertain, contrary to your claim) on the same article within 24 hours. You violated your revert parole under this account. Johnleemk | Talk 03:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
If i made a revert within 24 hours then it was an honest mistake, as ive been pressing not do it. I also reverted vandalism to the article, which was someone adding a name into members and then putting cocksucker after - thus i waited what i thought was a day to revert that out. If i reverted before then i apologise, but even Idont will note that the article has been vandalised enough, and if he doesnt members of WP:HMM will definatly tell you that. Ley Shade 04:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- An honest mistake you've made far too many times. Maybe a longer block will drive home the lesson deep enough in your subconscious. Johnleemk | Talk 10:37, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Well havent i got stuck with a complete bitch for an admin, well fuck it, if your not going to be civil neither am i. I made a mistake, so deal with it. If i was going to violate my fucking parole, id of done it in some grandeous and theatrical manner, not my cocking up and making a revert by some minute amount of time before 24 hours were up.
Also i want a link so i can actually see what im being accused of doing, as if i find out that im being blamed for using some fucking anon, i am not going to be pleased and i will do exactly what Deathrocker did, but yes, i will do it in a grandeous and theatrical manner.
Now, link please, while i find somewhere else to edit from. Ley Shade 10:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- If you actually bothered to follow the link I gave you above, you would understand why you got "stuck with a complete bitch for an admin". I don't take kindly to people who don't even bother to read the basic grounds for a block and proceed to protest it. Johnleemk | Talk 11:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
I checked it and oh dear, i made a mistake and was a few hours too early. Considering i look at the date normally for edits, unless they are close together i look at time. So i assumed i was fine to make the revert, obviously i wasnt, but christ, ban me for not telling the time mr wolf. Ill remember your invicility for future reference. Ley Shade 18:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Reply to message you left with 81.157.83.176
Regarding your message... what does you been banned or not have to do with me editing articles?
If you look on the metal genres talkpage; I left a comment for open discussion on the changes a couple of days ago for anyone to join and work with me on... if you go check I made the point that Heavy Metal fans in the littereal sense of the term are from the 1970s and there is no evidence of them mentioning either way if they think Nu-metal is "metal or not".
However, it is common knowledge, that extreme metal fans are most often the ones who voice the claim that "nu-metal is not metal"... you can see evidence of this even on Misplaced Pages, if you just go to the nu-metal talk page, most of the people who claim "nu-metal is not metal".. also claim to be fans of extreme metal on their pages.
Perhaps there could be an arugment that NWOBHM fans (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc) do not consider the genre proper metal if appropriate sources are provided.
Onto Coal Chamber, I sourced the genre with an article from AOL Music , it clearly states "Musical Styles: Rap-Metal, Goth Metal, Heavy Metal"... theres really no reason to remove it. Thanks. - Deathrocker 19:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Bodom and Vandalism
I would appreciate it if you would stop insinuating to administrators that I hiding behind multiple anonymous IPs for the sole purpose of blanking and reverting the Children of Bodom article. I have done nothing of the sort. I have made a total of perhaps two changes to that article in the last month, before citations were provided to the genre/info box. I blanked your warning on my page because I considered it a smear. Thank you. Wisdom89 17:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Peccatum
This can be debated, but Peccatum doesn't fit the symphonic black metal description. In fact, most of the new releases aren't even metal, more of avantgarde rock. However, they are a prominent figure in the avantgarde metal scene (along with others). I agree that they make symphonic sounding melodies, and have some black metal influence, however (if i may use an analogy) it would be like calling Dying Fetus (Death/Grind/Hardcore) a grindcore band, you leave out portions of the genre. Whereas avantgarde covers the nonstandard sounds of the band. For more info, search up the band (or if you can, listen to them). You will see the clear distinction between them and the gothic/symphonic black metal bands.
See ya --Ryouga 21:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Update: To clear things up, showing Avantgarde as a true genre, here is an official link showing it and Peccatum as "real". Avantgarde metal at ABOUT.com
Your block has expired
The 1-month block that Johnleemk gave you expired two days ago, so you're free to edit from this account (User:Leyasu) again. Please be very careful though, especially when reverting, since the arbitrators have proposed to put you and Deathrocker on a much stricter revert parole than the one you currently have. (See Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Deathrocker/Proposed decision. The proposed decisions that involve you are at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Deathrocker/Proposed decision#Leyasu revert parole modified and Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Deathrocker/Proposed decision#Enforcement by block Leyasu.)
