Gothic music is up for deletion
Gothic music is up for deletion. As you are an editor of this page, your feedback is important. Thanks, Sceptre 09:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
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)
Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Leyasu case closed
A final decision has been reached in this case and it has been closed.
For the Arbitration Committee. --Tony Sidaway 19:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- The message near the top of Talk:Gothic metal - if I remember correctly, you had put it there - also needs to be updated. I don't know if you want to mention that it was the topic of an arbcom case or not. Maybe it is good to do that in case disputes arise there again, but the statement should be either updated or removed. Just letting you know. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Psst
I'm trying to build support for this nomination in iuts last few days. Please check out this page. Pass it along. Nudge nudge. -- evrik 20:14, 8 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. Regards -- sannse (talk) 16:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, fair enough on both counts :) thanks for that, and I hope to bump into you again around here -- sannse (talk) 20:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
I blocked you for 48 hours for massively violating your parole. Deathrocker got 24 hours for violating 3RR. Next time it will be for longer. Please obey the arbcom ruling. Violating it within a week of closure isn't the best way to show you've changed. --Woohookitty 19:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
deathrocker
I don't really want to get into an edit war. And I know nothing of the band Moi dix mois. So I am not sure if I can be of any help here. However, staying away from the article might be a good idea for a while... Spearhead 20:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
There's nothing I can do about this either. I've read everything about the case and it seems like Sceptre and the ArbCom are handling the matter adequately. Still, if you feel that you need help in anything else, I'd be happy to help. --– sampi (talk•contrib•email) 23:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Avoid Getting In Heated Disputes
I´ve just took the time to read your user page. Although we discussed some matters in the near past (on the Metal vs Heavy Metal merging...) I´ve never really tried to know who you were, perhaps because of the way you´ve stated your opinions. I´ve enjoyed a lot reading your user page. It seems now in retrospec that you did not "talk" that way out in arrogance, but rather because of a strong, free personality. I did also laugh a lot reading the To Do entry which stands for the title of this post of mine (Avoid Getting In Heated Disputes)... It was just incredibly fun to read!!! Hope you reach your goal (I did suffer from it a litle too, just see the talk page on the article Virtuoso and List of virtuosi performers to see what I´m talking about). You´re not alone into controversies... Regards Loudenvier 20:56, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Post-black metal (2nd nomination)
Your comment on the page "Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Post-black metal (2nd nomination)" has poor grammar. Since your user page says you are a professional writer, I suggest you correct it. You should also correct phrases like "first originator".
A side note: I don't understand the point of BDSM. But it is probably best not to ask. Rintrah 10:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism
I have Cradle of Filth page on my watchlist and I checked it this morning and there was nothing, and now I can't see that Erno thing either on my watchlist. How did this Hatchet guy done that? He also tempered with Nymphetamine please you revert his Goth metal clasification changes! (talk) Death2 12:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, forget that about Nymphetamine, that was an old edit I was looking at. Death2 12:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Hatchet over the line
User:Hatchet has done too many bad deeds. You can report him at WP:AIV and explain that he has been doing stuff for months and that they should block their account. You're more known than me so you do it, I could report him too if you want, and it's not a problem for me to revert vandalism too! Here Special:Contributions/User:Hatchet you can see the list of his disruptions. Thanks! Death2 18:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok. Do you enjoy commanding others what to do. You could say: "Please could you report him to admin for pov...", I'll forgive you, this time Ley. See ya! Death2
I didn't wanted to attack you because of your manners it was just a sort of funny comment. And you say you won't always be here for us. You're not planning to leave, are you? The report is under way. I'm kinda lazy I just concentrate on improving articles with useful stuff and not fighting vandals! Bye! Death2 19:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean "launce spaxcecraft". And why would you invade Poland you Nazi vampire!!! (I'm just joking don't take this Nazi personal or as an insult) Death2 19:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
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)

From Deathrocker
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...

"Stoner metal" is far from a made up genre, and when you look at the entries for the bands on the Stoner metal entry you will no doubt agree. Please don't revert additions to templates without reaching consensus, Misplaced Pages is not your personal blog. Thanks. Deizio 15:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

more genres for delete
I put up some more of these pesky little genre-cruft thingies for afd
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)
You have been blocked
You are blocked for a period of 48 hours for breaching your revert parole on the article Children of Bodom. --Ryan Delaney 05:54, 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)
Seemingly contradicting userboxes
On your front user page, one userbox says "...is female" while another says "...is a male in support of feminism". These two boxes seem to contradict each other. Can you clarify? --69.117.7.63 19:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Testing
Um, since you're blocked I don't know which IP(s) to message for discussion, so if you get this message just tell me if it's ok if I message you here and you can respond with whichever IP(s) on my talk. If you want me to discuss things with you in another place, tell me so on my talk. BTW, you needn't refer to me as 'they', you can call me 'he.' 'They' sounds odd, if you know what I mean (sounds like more than one person). Anyway see ya 'round --Ryouga 05:06, 17 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've added my statement there too. Hopefully it is fair and does a good job saying what's gone on with you, Deathrocker, and Danteferno since your first case. 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.

Closure
Done, check out the results and endorse them on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Metal if you agree. Symphonic was one of the lucky 13 to make the grade, the Labour party will be contacting you about running PR campaigns for them at this rate... The template has been updated accordingly. Deizio 02:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Block
I'm going to block you for 3 days or until the Arbitration case has been opened, which ever comes first. I am sick of you two arguing on my talk page, so just wait. Will (@) T 10:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey
Dude, why do you think that me and Deathrocker are the same guy? Were NOT! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike5193 (talk • contribs)
