[edit] Your edits at Heavy metal music

Surely Steppenwolf played some part in the origins of Heavy metal thus their country Canada should be mentioned? How is this classed as vandalism? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ancientmariner07 (talk • contribs) 15:37, June 6, 2007 (UTC)

I've removed Quadzilla99's vandalism warnings because your edits clearly do not fall under Wikipedia:Vandalism. However, as a Wikipedia:Administrator, I urge to to stop edit warring at Heavy metal music. If you don't believe the United States should be listed in Cultural Origins, then please explain your reasoning on the article's talk page at Talk:Heavy metal music or in your edit summaries so that other editors will treat your edits with more respect instead of blindly accusing you of vandalism. See Wikipedia:Consensus and Wikipedia:Resolving disputes for more details. Please also keep in mind our Wikipedia:Three-revert rule which states "editors who revert a page in whole or in part more than three times in 24 hours...are likely to be blocked from editing.". Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
