[edit] Gothic Metal List

I've been observing the debate about gothic-doom and gothic metal. I put a suggestion on the list of gothic metal bands to deal with it. Leyasu will probably fight the idea, but as an outside observer I think that it is a fair compromise. Tell me what you think. I would have put this message on Deathrocker's page, but he just ignores everything I say under the assumption that I am Leyasu.--Fred138 18:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia: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 19:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leyasu

He just got off of a 4 day block for violating probation. If he does this again, then we'll do blocks. I'll keep an eye on it. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 03:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, I'd put your concerns on AN or AN/I at this point. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 04:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Association

Dear Danteferno: Hi. I wanted to ask you about a possible Hispanic wikipedians association here on the English wikipedia. The purpose would be to trade assignments with members of other Hispanic countries, so that they would write about a topic pertaining to our country while we write about a topic pertaining to theirs. Like a trade. We would benefit a lot by learning about our history as a whole and having other Latinos learn about our own countries at the same time.

That way also, we would promote unity between our paises hermanos. We could become an example to Hispanics around the world. Unfortunately, some Hispanics do believe we are not brothers, and we can begin with our example to prove them wrong.

What do you think, would you be interested in joining such an association?

Thanks and God bless you!

Your hermano in raza, Antonio Tegucigalpa Martin

    • Dear Dante: As a Hispanic, I feel honored that you have made several of our countries your home and thank you for that. I also want to thank you for your interest in the association. With only a few more votes of approval, it shall be opened. Your invitation to join the future association is still standing. With your travels, I imagine you have gained a lot of knowledge about the society, geography and topography of those countries you have visited and you probably can give us a lot of suggestions as far as topics so we can research those topics and write about them, and viceversa. Thanks so much and God bless you! Your friend, Antonio Planta de locos Martin.

[edit] Revert

The time between your two reverts was less than 24 hours. — 0918BRIAN • 2006-04-08 17:10

  • People sometimes let 3RR slide simply because it happens a lot. Arbcom rulings do not happen a lot, and they should be correctly enforced. If you were to twice revert again, you would probably be blocked for 4 days, and then for 1 week, as has occurred with Leyasu. Once you realize that you are only satisfying your own instant gratification when you repeatedly revert, then you will realize that reverting makes little sense, because the current state of an article matters little. — 0918BRIAN • 2006-04-08 18:26

[edit] Assoc. link

Dante: We would be honored to have you check the Wikipedia:Association of Hispanic and Latin American writers and become one of our members.

Thanks and God bless you!

[edit] Notability tag

I have replaced it. Peter O. (Talk) 03:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nu metal & death metal

The point isn't whether nu-metal has similarities to death metal. The point is that the sentence at no point claims that Megadeth and Metallica are death metal. Therefore your removal of the genre was unjustified.

  • it also has some sonic similarity with death metal as well as thrash metal bands like Metallica and Megadeth

if we separate the compound sentence we obtain

  • it has some sonic similarity with death metal
  • AND
  • it also has some sonic similarity with thrash metal bands like Metallica and Megadeth

It clearly says "thrash bands like Metallica and Megadeth." I really don't care whether nu-metal has anything in common with death metal. Frankly I don't see the connection either. You misinterpreted the sentence and removed the term "death metal" because you thought it was incorrectly categorizing the two bands as said genre when in fact it wasn't.

[edit] Re: How is nu-metal similar to death metal?

As this has been discussed already, I'll try to be simple:

  • As the link shows, a citation has been made by WesleyDodds.
  • Fear Factory are a death metal band often labelled as nu metal, and are a major influence on nu metal. Other death metal bands, such as Sepultura and Slayer, have been cited as influences on nu metal by nu metal bands or musical commentators.
  • Static-X are a nu metal band often labelled as death metal.
  • Korn cite Cannibal Corpse, a death metal band, as an influence.
  • Apart from these links, the sonic similarity between guitar styles (if not musicianship) of nu metal and death metal is very prevalent.

This is not the first time you have tried to remove any mention of "death metal" from the nu metal article, and when one attempt is stopped, you convert to another reason to make the same edit. Your clear bias has no place in the article. --Switch 19:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metal

I've been away from the wiki for quite a while... would you mind explaining me the general situation concerning Leyasu? --Sn0wflake 02:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Considering that one of the reasons I quit the Wikipedia was the stress that moderating this user caused me, I was really surprised he was still around... :\ Well, I am sort of back... and will enforce my admin rights as necessary. I see that it's still the same discussion concerning that "goth-doom" or whatever shit... really, what does that contribute to the articles in question...? But oh well. Thanks for the update, man. --Sn0wflake 03:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Officium Triste

Whats the prob with the notability? They have released three albums of which two on a larger independent label (Displeased Records) should be sufficent per WP:MUSIC. Also they did small tours and played festivals, including the Doom Shall Rise festival in Germany, and Dutch Doom's day in the Netherlands. Spearhead

[edit] Leyasu

I agree, one of the reasons I stopped contributing to a lot of metal stuff was that I couldn't be arsed with Ley any more... If you notify me of specific incidents (starting from today onwards, let's not get into the backlog) with diffs I'll flex my admin muscles and get the necessary blocks and protects in place. Deizio talk 13:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I've acted on the diffs provided. Deizio talk 10:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you remove the semiprotected tag from Diabolique (band)? Deizio talk 13:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

The tag seems to have vanished, diff seems to think it happened as part of your edit. Deizio talk 13:52, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I've had a word with Cronodevir, and brought it up on the talkpage at WP:HMM. If you want to ask for a WP:RFCU, go ahead. Deizio talk 12:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


Well, I think you are probably aware of this from the Tiamat article but it seems to me that Leyasu is back and from the folk metal article, I suspect that the following are all sockpuppets of Leyasu.

I do not quite know what can be done about this but perhaps you would. --Anarchodin 05:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deiz

Hey Dante, got an email address? Drop me an email and tell me it using my e-mail this user button, might be able to make your life easier. Deizio talk 19:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, doesn't matter. If you notice pages that really need semi-protection, you can help me by a) providing diffs and b) listing the pages in one line of text using the following format: 'articlename1', 'articlename2', etc. eg if you felt Iron Maiden, Burzum and cheese needed protection, write 'Iron Maiden', 'Burzum', 'cheese' and drop it on my talk page and I'll check it out. Deizio talk 12:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] protection

Agreed. They had been on the list around a month which is quite standard. I also added them to VOAbotII's watchlist which may or may not make a difference... I know some feel protection is against the spirit of Wikipedia, but banned users using multiple socks to deliberately skew facts is far worse. I've started blocking Ley-a-like accounts on sight. Long term? Not really sure. You'd have to find someone technical and well-versed in Wiki-law (more than me) with at least admin priveliges, probably checkuser priveliges. Not sure which general helpdesk might be able to help... You can also do whois lookups of IP addresses and contact the sysops at wherever they originate from.

[edit] What Vandalism?

Just curious what "vandalism" I did for Paradise Lost (band). "(cur) (last) 14:30, 24 November 2006 Danteferno (Talk | contribs) (rv vandalism)"

[edit] Protection

I've blocked a bunch of IP socks and protected Diabolique and Tiamat. Wknight94 seems to think that because there is only one problem editor on these pages and their edits are being reverted on sight (usually by you) there isn't a protection problem.. I think it's a failing of the system that a banned user can use a myriad of anonymous IPs and make life hard for regular editors. Keep me posted. Deizio talk 14:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

It is ridiculous to think there isn't a protection problem. The facts are really simple. The user has been banned from editing on wikipedia. Completely and utterly banned. Hence, this user should not be editing any further on wikipedia. It does not matter whether the edits made have any merits or not. It does not matter whether anyone express a problem with the edits being made. All that matters is that a banned user can continue editing a large number of different pages. It makes a mockery of the whole ban in the first place. What's the point of resolving disputes if people are only going to succeed in ignoring the resolution of those disputes? What's the point of banning people from editing wikipedia when they can so easily ignore and bypass that ban? --Anarchodin 05:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
