Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Slipknot (band) are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. -- Sam ^Sing! 14:31, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Cannibal Corpse. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. —George8211 / T 15:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to George Fisher (musician), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page.

Bossdude, changes to genres is a really hot area to venture into. I urge you to open a discussion on the article talk pages in each and every case. Please leave me a message here so I know you understand this. Thanks, -- Sam ^Sing! 15:44, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Corey Taylor. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Sam ^Sing! 15:47, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry

I undid your edit to Sam Sailor's talk by accident. —George8211 / T 16:01, 22 February 2015 (UTC) it's fine

Genres

Hi again, Bossdude.

If you start a new topic on a talk page, you do it by starting a new section. Don't worry, all these pesky details you can learn as you go along.

To answer your question: I have no clue about what genres best describe Slipknot. I haven't ever heard them. I know their hallmark is that they wear masks, but that I only know because I once got the question in a TP-like knowledge game. So there you have my Slipknot ignorance! :)

But when it come to genres, you just have to take my word on it: you are better off opening a discussion in each case. We very often see people come and change genres, but genres have often been subject to long prior discussions based on what genres sources apply. So changes might cause some grief with established editors. Are you with me?

• We sure can, I'm watching this page. You can also use the cool {{Yo}} template to WP:PING me. Give it a try! -- Sam ^Sing! 16:18, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Zain Javed Malik. —Frosty ☃ 06:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
