[edit] Band articles

I've put a prod on Thunderbolt and I've left a message on the admin who "voted" keep on the Syrym AfD - it'll probably be redirected to Babylon A.D.... I'm not on a Wiki-break, I've just not had the time to be as active over last few weeks. I'm mostly on here sporadically now. Funeral 18:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thoughts

I think Multi-necked bass guitar should be re-directed to Double neck guitar. Do you concur? 156.34.226.160 (talk) 22:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it in the middle of a discussion to be merged? I can't touch it without consensus. I'll take a look at the appropriate place. ScarianCall me Pat 23:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Bah, I did it anyway. And I cleaned up the article too. ScarianCall me Pat 23:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] motorhead/nwobhm

If you actually paid attention to the edit and edit summary, you'd notice I wasn't "erasing text." Every time Motorhead was mentioned, I erased it because they're not nw. I changed an to a because the word after it didn't begin with a, e ,o, or i.. That's "not erasing text"

[edit] Mistake?

I noticed you recently changed glam, speed and black metal back to comma breaks. I would ask you to stop. Those articles were recently changed to comma breaks so I changed them back. Also if you look at the heavy metal article. Check ALL the subgenres and fusion genres. They all have line breaks. So since the 20 or so of them have line breaks why would we make 3 of them have comma breaks? Just letting you know. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Eventually they all need to be corrected to match Country and Jazz and Blues and Classical G boxes. Why should the heavy metal boxes stick out like an unencyclopedic turd and not conform to the standardised look of all the more elite music genres? 156.34.226.160 (talk) 22:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! "More elite"?! "uncyclopedic"?! I'm not gonna say anything. I didn't expect this from you. I obviously prefer line breaks and I make no secret of it, and I think it would look way better on every article, but right now the heavy metal sub genre articles are standardized to each other. I'm telling you, I think more people prefer line breaks and I don't understand why we don't use them considering they were used for years on wikipedia and no one complained. It's not like they stopped working or something. I think they still work fine. Anyways, that's all my own POV. I don't really want to talk about the future, as that will only cause arguement and no one will agree. Right now it's fine and I'll leave it at that. I just don't see how using commas is suddenly going to make everything look more "encyclopedic" as you imply. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
It's all about standards. It's been agreed that it's OK for 2 genres to be split by a break but if there are 3 or more then commas should be used to avoid unwanted 'slide-ruling'. Even then it's still going against the "encyclopedia for all" philosophy. Look at a Britannica or Encarta or World Book digital article... they don't waste any time with length on any of their embedded information boxes. Wikipedia is supposed to be for everyone and yet you still insist on coding that descriminates against visually impaired Wikipedians using 'reader software' to assist them with reading and enjoying Wikipedia. Your desire to ignore copyright rules/laws just to make Wikipedia look like some dumbass fansite undermines the scope of the entire project. Just why are you here? Are you here to contribute (and follow the rules) Or are you here to sabotage? 156.34.226.160 (talk) 22:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
And I don't see wtf your problem is. Watch your manners. Wikipedia is for everyone. How the hell is putting line breaks in suddenly fuck up everything for the visually impaired? They can read commas but they can't see when something goes to the next line? Give me a break. Besides, the whole comma break thing brings in nowrap which goes against WP:KISS, which for me is reason enough to never use commas in the musical infobox if it goes over one line. I don't want wikipedia to look like some dumbass fansite or a fansite at all. It's an encyclopedia. I don't want to ignore copyright rules, either. I like it when articles have at least a few pictures, yes, I think it adds something to the articles and most would agree. What's wrong with an enxcyclopedia having a few pictures? Most of the encyclopedias I've seen have pictures here and there and they have a lot less room than us. By adding in a picture or so per article isn't going to make it look like "some dumbass fansite". Same thing for logos. I'm here to contribute. Look at my edits. They prove it. Now back off. You insulting me gets you nowhere. I already think you can be incredibly stuck up at times, and I do realize that is part of your right, having so many edits and all, but none of us can always be right, nor are we always going to agree. I'd focus on other things/issues. I do. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I was going to reply in length but I remembered that you are a metal-archives member... you have a long climb to shake that kind of damage off. You say you don't want to ignore copyright rules and yet earlier, on another talk page you wrote: "I also think that the fair use/unfair use issue is ridiculous! I think we should just use what we want." Hmmm??? You just won the hypocrite of the day award with that "revelation of true colours. I ask again.... why are you here??? 156.34.226.160 (talk) 23:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

PS... just so you know... your edit on the Rush article was wrong... proper Canadian ENG would be "Rush are". But over the years Canadians have grown into the habit of "dumbing it down" due to our close proximity to an English speaking nation that uses the singular form rather than the proper group plural form. 156.34.226.160 (talk) 23:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
First of all. I am a metal-archives memeber technically, but something you should keep in mind is that I never get on it. I only use metal-archives to find out such things as albums and what not. I do not participate in forum discussions (I have witnessed a few that were utterly retarded) or any of that. I am also not a hypocrite. I do believe the fair use/non fair use issue is utterly ridiculous. I think we should use what pictures we want and I can't see anyone suing wikipedia just cause they see themselves on it. Doesn't mean I want to break copyright rules. I just think they're ridiculous. I wish I could ignore them, but I don't (however foolish they may be at times). I didn't lie (or say two differing things) about anything. So now you just sound more like an ass than ever and more stuck up. I'm not an idiot y'know. I'm incredibly good at debating. I wouldn't make myself look like a hypocrite. Also, I already knew about the Rush thing. Since Canadians use "is," though it doesn't matter what they used to do. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Also I couldn't help but notice you chose to totally ignore some of my questions. You didn't deny any of my accusations. If this was true debate, you would have already lost. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
