I see someone has tagged him as being Iranian again...which again contradicts the references. That was already an edit war in the past. I expect another will break out once the regular editors notice the mistake.

| hi, | |||
| i noticed that you changed the spelling in ] from american to british. i'll first assure you that i am not going to revert it, so there is no revert war brewing. but i thought i would gently (and hopefully without annoying you) point out the provisions of ] to you, in case you hadn't seen them. the upshot (with some minor exceptions) is that americans should leave british spellings alone when they see them, and speakers of the "queen's english" should do the same with americanized spelling. to do otherwise encourages mindless edit wars that achieve nothing, and leave bad feelings all around. i just saw an editor lose his nomination to be an admin partly because an innocent change of "travelling" to "traveling" was deemed "ameri-centric". | |||

| Hi! Why did you deleted heavy metal from Guns N' Roses infobox? Allmusicguide says that they are heavy metal http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll . Heavy metal needs to be in the infobox if the reference sais so. And in the Alice Cooper article you say that references are always right. You said in the Cooper's talk page, that "''The genre's are well referenced and the opening lead in statement is cited as well using a reference that meets all WP:V and WP:CITE criteria. The genre is more than valid and removing it would just be incorrect/uncited''". So I'm now saying the same thing to you! Why did you deleted cited genre??? -- ] | |||
| :Previous discussion and concensus. I don't really care if it's there. AMG is about the place it really shows up so it's not really a concrete V on the topic. Unlike the AC article where the evidence/concensus is overwhelming and only 1 editor, whose music edits on Misplaced Pages show a gross misunderstanding of the subject, seems to want to delete it from it's rightful place. ] 16:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Do you mean Daddy Kindsoul? I think he is totally right. I have five documentaries where Cooper tells about the original band. He says that they played theatrical hard rock and garage rock with glam-clothes and thats why they fit in Detroit rock-scene. Only documentary where I have seen him say that they were heavy metal is "Metal: A Headbangers Journey"-DVD. So how about a concensus in Alice Cooper being metal too? -- ] | |||
| :::You can fit Daddy D_rocker's self-professed musical knowledge into a thimble. He is a major joke on Wiki-chats and newsgroups and he is on the VandalProof blacklist as a negative contributor to Misplaced Pages. I tend to ignore H_bangers Journey for any sort of comment. It flowered all the neg S-types of the genres fans... left out the "nerd factor"... and was more a self promo of the director as opposed to a true study of the music. I am a librarian. Verifiability and citation, for me, comes from books or pro music publications. So pro-review comments like S.T. Erlewine's or the Rolling Stone album guide referring him as a "beloved heavy metal entertainer(AC himself calls himself the "nice guy" of HM) or any number of the books ref'd in other Wiki-articles about the subject hold a lot more water than poor misguided Daddy D whose music knowledge places him somewhere in between gorilla and thug on the musical IQ scale... probably closer to gorilla. ] 17:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
