3RR on Reroute to Remain

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.--Wildnox (talk) 22:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and I changed the genre listing to just "Death Metal" since the first listing I found was Death Metal. --Wildnox (talk) 22:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I agree that the band is not death metal, but the only source I've found so far labels the album as such and sources trump our own opinions. I'm looking around to see if I can find a source stating "Melodic Death Metal" instead of Death Metal. --Wildnox (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think changing the genre to Debated would be best until someone can find sources for Melodic Death and Alt. Metal. Inhumer 00:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leyasu

The edit of mine that you reverted was a reversion of Leyasu who was and is editing in violation of WP:SOCK and WP:BAN. I highly suggest that you do not revert to the versions reverted to by Leyasu, at least not with tools, as it can look suspicious. I assume you were acting in good faith, but I suggest you exercise caution in the future. --Wildnox (talk) 21:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed Leyasu comments. Note the ISP, use of language(Edit summaries for the most part), and location of the user who added them, then compare to other Leyasu socks. If you if see a reason to restore the material removed by Crescentia(who has never been blocked despite Leyasu's claims), please do, just do not use a tool such as popups or vandal proof to do so and leave something in talk about it. --Wildnox (talk) 16:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I used to report the Leyasu socks right away, but all that would happen after the block is Leyasu would shift IPs. If he/she keeps going with that one, maybe I'll report it, but other than that, probably not. --Wildnox (talk) 16:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leyasu was once a normal user on wikipedia. She was blocked many times for 3RR and NPA violations, then taken to ArbCom, who put her on rever parole, she violate the parole and was blocked a handful of times, and then she used socks to continue the reverts until she was fully banned.(huge run-on sentence I think) Usually she gives up with trying to edit talk pages after a few reverts, even dedicated socks can't continue with the same edits forever. If she does continue, you can request semi-protection for a day or two or just revert once or twice. You can also report at WP:AIV, since they usually just ban major repeat sock offenders like Leyasu there quickly. --Wildnox (talk) 23:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slayer

IS A FEATURED ARTICLE, 1 reference is fine, plus you haven't formatted the references properly, you are the one vandalising. M3tal H3ad 01:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. Some of them references are already used in the article
2. You don't give them a title and are just blue URLS
3. They don't have a last retrieved date

They are not formatted like all the other references. Plus the all music guide covers all the genres mentioned so no need for 5 references. M3tal H3ad 02:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, you have a bad habit of trying to dispute the genre of bands and albums. I noticed you chose to vandalize Christ Illusion also despite the fact nonoby's ever heard Slayer being called groove metal, and trying to dispute the genre of at least one In Flames album. This is considered disruptive, and seen as arguing for arguments sake. LuciferMorgan 07:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you really believe in this genre, so, create its own page and write something about it, trying to show something of new. Otherwise, please, it's funny that labelling "alt metal" is vandalism (rotfl) when modern metal doesn't exist and isn't on Wikipedia, so don't tell that I did vandalisms. :) If I had my own website with Isis as "atmospheric metal" instead of post metal, I don't think you would do the same. ;) Connacht 19:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rock music Wikiproject invitation

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Earth Crisis band members

When a band has broken up, it has no members. For example, Paul McCartney is not presently a member of the Beatles – he has not been this since 1970. A group's disbanding is tantamount to all members quitting the band simultaneously. Therefore, when listing members of a group, the years active that are listed should only include the time in which the band itself was active. For examples of this precedent in Wiki articles, please see the member listing sections in Alice in Chains, Megadeth, Mayhem, etc. These are prominent groups that disbanded for a period of time – you will see that Wiki convention excludes years in which a band was inactive in their member listings. Furthermore, I think this is a justified convention. Best, Colinclarksmith (talk) 21:50, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please state your point more clearly. As far as I can tell, you think that years listed in years active should only terminate when a member quits, as opposed to the band breaking up, or any other circumstance that would push a member from being active in a band (e.g., death). I maintain that a band breaking up is tantamount to all members quitting. Furthermore, by your terms, Ringo Starr is still a Beatle (since his band simply broke up and he did not choose to quit). For that matter, that would mean that John Lennon is still a Beatle, despite being dead. Please stop reverting your changes without explaining yourself. And please look at other member listings in similar bands - I think it will help you understand the situation better. Colinclarksmith (talk) 02:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

surely they are members of such bands, ask any person in the world and they will agree. Chaning the year a member is in a band according to the time that the band was alive is redundant. If the band was alive from 1992 to 1999 and then from 2005 till 2008, what's the need to list the members as being a part of it from 92-99 and from 05-08, when they never quit the band. It's the band that was not active, not them. What if a member left during the hiatus? Would you then list him as being a part of the band from 92 to 1999 even though he left, say, in 2001? --Dexter_prog (talk • contribs • count) @ 02:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that 'any person in the world' would agree. Ringo Starr is not a Beatle. If the Beatles reformed tomorrow, Ringo Starr would not have been a Beatle between 1970–2011. Listing his dates active with the Beatles as 1962–present would be incorrect. I also do not agree that it is redundant for member listings to reflect years that a band was inactive, and I have cited three articles (among numerous) that follow this convention. Please look at them. Regarding your question about a hiatus, I'm not sure that I understand your theoretical question; but it's quite simple - if the band is together and the dude is in the band, that year is listed. If either the band is together and he is not in it, or the band is not together, that year is not listed. End of story. Colinclarksmith (talk) 04:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is a Beatle as long as the band does not get together again, if they reform, then they are doing that, reforming. You can cite as many articles as you want and so can I, there is no general consensus, it depends on who edited the article. My example is quite simple: band A formed in 1990, band goes into a hiatus in 1995, member Z leaves the band in 1997, band reforms in 2000. According to your band member standard, member Z would have been a part of the band from 1990 to 1995, even though he left in 1997. --Dexter_prog (talk • contribs • count) @ 14:27, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the nature of the hiatus. If the band self-identifies as an intact band despite being on a hiatus, member Z's years would read 1990–1997. If the band self-identifies as being broken up, his years would read 1990–1995. Earth Crisis were broken up, utterly inactive, not on a simple hiatus. Come on buddy, this is childish and unnecessary. Colinclarksmith (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree and that doesn't make the discussion childish nor does it invalidate my point. --Dexter_prog (talk • contribs • count) @ 18:46, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, hopefully we can agree to disagree. To answer your question, yes, I'm perfectly fine with adding the sub-chapter heading (Active members or some such) to the member listing as you did. Colinclarksmith (talk) 00:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 02:12, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Four T's

The article The Four T's has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability beyond use in one internal medical school paper.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Four T's

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Four T's, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. PamD 12:40, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge!
