[edit] September 2007

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.
  1. Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Power metal, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ≈ The Haunted Angel 01:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
    I would like to respond by saying that the changes I made were in the best interest of the article and I was by no means intending to vandalize the page. I made the changes I did because some of the bands you listed as examples are in fact not power metal bands.
    First off, you listed Dream Theater under prog-power. Dream Theater is simply a prog-metal band that does not share the soaring vocals and epic feel of power metal. Also, Epica abnd Therion do not qualify as symphonic power metal for the same reasons. A think you are trying to list more well known bands in extange for bands who are truely part of the genre. Finally, the new band you listd for extreme power metal does not have an arcticle on Wikipedia and when I looked up Speed Demons I got an arctice over a DC superheros cartoon episode. I think this arcticle was more accurite before you made the changes you did. I am not trying to disrespect you, but maybe you should see if the band is listed as power metal in their article and appears on the list of bands instead of passing off popular bands like Dream Theater as power metal.
    So anyway, thanks for taking the time to read all this and I hope you will take this into account before getting rid of my changes.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.187.214 (talk)
  2. Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Land of Confusion. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 01:31, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
