Your Edit to Green Day
"it says right there in the source that it sold 15 million" you say in your last edit. Why didn't you just say that in the edit summary at first? You have a history of vandalism warnings and if you don't properly comment your edits, things like reverts on this are bound to happen. If you carefully explain your edits, i doubt it will happen much again TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 03:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Devilock2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Devilock2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 01:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Uncle Tom
Please read and contribute to Talk:Uncle Tom and stop adding that list after it has been reverted ... having such a list violates WP:BLP, which mandates "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced controversial material", and if you add it again, I will get an administrator involved ... it is your responsibility to justify the inclusion of such a list in violation of Official Wikipedia Policy. --72.75.85.159 03:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Clay Aiken
You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing. - Maria202 23:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: your comment on User talk:69.148.94.220
All right, thanks for the clarification. I frankly don't know much about the history of modern music, so I should stay away from those articles, and factual verification thereof... well, hopefully this IP actually gets an account and starts making good edits. I did have a problem with you saying "bad things will come your way"; this could be interpreted as a threat. (A certain editor had been accused of making threats when he said that he was going to use Occam's razor, but this is a bit more troubling.) I would suggest linking to or explicitly citing WP:BLOCK, not because he won't know what it means, but because I (looking at the page) wouldn't know. Thanks.

The Acro-brats
A tag has been placed on The Acro-brats, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Static Universe talk 07:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

blink-182 Pop Punk vs Punk Rock vote
As you have recently contributed to the blink-182 article you might be interested in casting your vote towards reaching a final consensus on the bands genre, Pop Punk or Punk Rock, votes can be cast here. cheers mate --Dan027 07:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Message on User Page
Hi there - I noticed that you inadvertantly left a message on the userpage of User:D tonack instead of on his talk page. He's less likely to see it where it's at. I'd move it myself, but Hagermanbot might want to slap my signature on it, so I thought I'd leave it up to you if that's ok. Cheers, Figma 06:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The Who
"Possibly the greatest live band ever" is a direct quote from the cited source. In order to avoid POV, I cited it that way on purpose. Ckessler 19:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a quote from Rolling Stone, an acceptable source. This is a compromise, and is better than having unsourced, obviously POV statements in an article. Ckessler 19:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

blanking cited facts
Hello Hoponpop69. Please refer to the discussion board as to why the false citations were removed. Olir 16:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I decided to leave the sources in, despite your failure to read the discussion board or the edit summaries. So nevermind. However I did add sources for punk rock and alt rock of which you comically said there were citations needed for, when there were so many already listed on the discussion page. Olir 17:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Civility
I just noticed your remark at User talk:Olir. Try to remain civil please. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Blanking cited facts.
Please do not blank cited facts on the Blink-182 page. Giving you the benefit of the doubt I assume you must not have watched them all the way through, for example they talk at the end after the song. Also you deleted a source refering to the song apple shampoo, this song is also a valid source. If you do not know much about Blink-182 I understand why you thought you should delete it. Also please do not leave messages on my talk page as if you are trying to score points on a personal level against me, its very unprofessional. I, on the other hand am only interested in the articles. Olir 09:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Also you should look at the notes I have left beside the links. Giving you the benefit of the doubt I assume you missed them. This should help you incase you make the same mistake again Olir 10:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:PROD
Hi, could I request that you very quickly scan through the WP:PROD policy just to check that you understand the basics. Essentially, according to WP:PROD, when someone removes a prod notice, you shouldn't revert. Thanks, Addhoc 18:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I see someone beat me to that. As Addhoc said, any removal of the PROD template is considered someone contesting the deletion, which means it can't be PRODed.  The Right Thing (tm) to do is put the article up for deletion, which I've done for you: Articles_for_deletion/Emo_violence. -FunnyMan 19:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)  (well, a few mins earlier than that, actually, I'm just an idiot)

Michael Richards
Greetings, I'm writing to you to let you know that I generally agree with your push to have a mention of the Laugh Factory incident mentioned in the lead of the article. I invite you to join discussion about this. Cheers. 21:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I reverted you. That language will never fly in the lead. I've kept the lead wording toned in accord with WP:NPOV. 23:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do actually tend to agree with your edits but after having worked on the article since the day the story broke about the cell phone video I know that such language is not seen as neutral by a consensus of editors. 23:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You know if you'd just change the word "racist" backed to "racial" there'll likely be much less resistance to that sentence being in the lead. I'm not sure if you are aware of it but if you haven't already done so then I invite you to familiarize yourself with the Three-revert rule. Also it is best to use article talk pages to discuss edits like this. 00:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, I strongly suggest you self-revert right now because you'll be shortly prevented from further editing due to WP:3RR vio. (which given the validity of your edits would suck). 02:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

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. -- No Guru 01:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * honestly, dude, i'm just trying to help you out here, but i'm giving it less than 24 hours before someone wipes out your edits. i think you are reading waaay more into the mos than what's there. i admire, and honour your efforts, but i just think your submissions do not add to the integrity of the article. …i'm just sayin'… --emerson7 | Talk 01:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Civility in edit summaries

 * In fact "due" is not a word you would use to describe charges for an impeachment. He was charged with the crimes of.....  Second, your statement is POV, because it is not necessary to describe why he was impeached in that section, because it will be described later in the article.

Further personal attack warning

Attempted AfD for Indian Summer
Here is the article as you left it. If you read The AfD instructions you'll see the only thing you'd done was step I adding the tag to the article. You hadn't done steps II and III. The reason I didn't complete them for you is: Thanks, Gwernol 20:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm not going to do the work for you.
 * 2) I have no idea what the reason you wanted to give for the deletion was. You should have given that reason in the second step.

Papa Roach the third
I donÄt think that GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER IS A HARD ROCK ALBUM!! HARD ROCK SOUNDS MORE CLASSIC LIKE AC/DC OR AROWSMITH OR GUNS AND ROSES!! BUT NOT PAPA ROACH!!

PAPA ROACH ARE MORE POST-GRUNGE THAN HARD ROCK AND ALTERNATIVE METAL!! NO HARD ROCK BAND SCREAMS ON THEIR SONGS!! THEY HAVE HARDCORE INFLUENCE BECAUSE THE SCREAMING COMES FROM HARDCORE-PUNK AND THEY ARE VERY EXPERIMENTAL!!! AND POST-HARDCORE HAS GOT THEIR INFLUENCES FROM HARDCORE-PUNK/POST-PUNK/HEAVY METAL AND EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC!!! SO STOP TO CHANGE THE GENRES!!!! EVERYTHING WAS OK BUT THAN YOU CAME!!! SO STOP IT!!!

Excuse me
I regret to inform you that Anberlin is not a Christian band. Stephen Christian himself said he does not want Anberlin to be labled as a christian band, because they are not. Thank you Pbroks13 04:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Reliable Sources? Yes, according to Christian websites, they are a Christian band, but according to many other unbiast sources, they are not. ie iTunes, Anberlin themselves, Billboard, ect. Oh and I have only reverted two times. According to the Three-revert rule a user must revert it three times. If you revert it once more, you will have broken the Three-revert rule.

Going on Wikibreak, Stern Show edits
I'm going on a self-imposed wikibreak. I saw your edit of the Eric the Midget where you changed the wording from obsession to fandom, that is better but I still think there may be a more appropriate word for describing his thing for American idol. I also saw the change to the template, and while that is correct that they aren't really staff I had put them there to keep them in a stern show category. That way they could easily be linked to the other stern pages since there isn't currently a stern show category, it was deleted in February.Optigan13 04:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Genres
Well, therein lies the problem: your definition of what a band is or isn't clearly isn't what everyone else perceives the band to be. You consider a well-known music website to be unreliable because it doesn't fit your definition of a genre. I'm sorry, but that is not what Wikipedia is about at all. You don't want Wikipedia to be right, you want to be right.

Your elitist attitude towards genres and bands is clearly evident in all of your changes and your talk page here. Please stop editing the genres of bands to fit your personal vendettas. It is inappropriate to dismiss a source because it doesn't fit with your personal beliefs. Enfestid 21:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Because it was stated on "numerous talk pages" to be unreliable makes it so? Since when? Please tell me how it is unreliable, ignoring your own personal opinions. I will find yet more sources for you, if you so wish. Please stop changing the pages to fit your own personal opinions. Thank you. Enfestid 21:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please explain to me why you reverted the Linkin Park genre. It is not All Music or LastFM. Please stop changing the genre without explanation, or I will seek peer mediation. Thank you. Enfestid 21:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Linkin Park source was not All Music. Please check it. It was Artist Direct. I am going to edit the page, this time with numerous citations... you choose which one is reliable and I will leave it at that one, I don't care which. I will not edit the page again for a brief period, in keeping with Wikipedia rules. Enfestid 21:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

ok,
I refuse to let you guys? You are the only one who continues to add Christian Rock to the genres. Let me give you an example, if there was an article about you on wikipedia stating that you believe satan is our savior and that you're a satanist, and it came from reliable sources. Now, you yourself have told people that it is not true, but yet they continue to classify you as that. Shouldn't it be changed since? You know who you are, not other people. You know your not a satanist, so why should you be classified as that? Just please take that into consideration.

Pbroks13 13:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * My last warning till what? And way to completely ignore everything I just said. First of all, there was no consensus. Just because you and someone else agrees, that doesnt make it a consensus. And secondly, what sources say doesnt mean its true. By the way, those are not reliable sources. Of course Christian sources are going to say they are christian. Other reliable sources will say they are not. Third of all, I think Anberlin knows whether or not they are a Christian band or not. You want third party sources? Fine, I'll get some saying they are not a Christian band.

Switchfoot article: deletion of content
Hello. Please understand that I am not removing the "Christian rock" label because I disagree with it; I actually think of Switchfoot as a Christian band. There was a very large discussion about the the inclusion of this label, with a consensus result to exclude it. (I reopened the discussion later, with the same result.) As for the "post-grunge" and "power pop" labels, I remember that they used to be there; however, they appear to have been deleted by consensus, and I can't find the relevant discussions. T-rex (talk) and .phil. (talk) are relatively active in updating the article, and may be able to explain the removal of said genres. I am sorry for any confusion. --3M163//Complete Geek 16:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
I see you've made a couple of edits like this. While section made oup whily of trivia are to be "avoided", that's not a license to go and simply delete the material. Often times lazy editors have put things in trivia which should be in the main part of the article. It's better to take a few minutes and integrate that material into the article. The section heading alone is not a reason to delete content. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 20:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * deleting per Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles


 * I see why you'd be confused by my comment versus my action. However I'm more tolerant of trivia sections than you - they don't bother me that much. If you want to delete specific items because they're irrelevant or unsourced I won't object. What I object to is deleting an entire section, parts of which are relevant and sourced, just because of guideline suggesting that a certain section title be avoided. ·:·Will Beback  ·:· 00:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

They are an Alternative Rock band not a Hard Roc band! hard rock bands are like nickelback/acdc/guns and roses/the scorpions and bands like this! they have maybe some influencex of hard rock but it sounds more like alternative rock or post-grunge!!i think papa rach have influences of post-grunge and post-hardcore and hard rock! bu its better to write just alternative rock/nu metal/rapcore! is that ok?

AFI-PUNK
This guy is switching IPs, so there's no point in blocking an addresses unless its actively vandalizing. There's been no contribs from those addresses for a couple of days, so no block. If those addresses (or related addresses) start vandalizing, let me know. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

A DEAL
I HAVE a Deal for you! let's talk about it with no insults or to block somebody!! ok Papa Roach have some Hard Rock influences but i think they have also Alternative rock and Post-Grunge influence but no alternative metal influences! i think it's good to write alternative rock/post-grunge/hard rock/nu metal/rapcore! it's that ok for you? listen to 12 Stones and Breaking Benjamin or another post grunge bands! they sound very the same think about it ok? Ska-Lord

Your edit to Billy Talent
Hey there. The edit to Billy Talent restored the vandalism you thougt you were removing, just thought I'd let you know. I understand you might have gotten confused or something. Cheers. -- Reaper  X  17:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
I noticed you tagged the article Death pop for speedy deletion. However, the reason you have does not meet any of the official criteria for speedy deletion. I changed the tag to a proposed deletion, which is more appropriate in this case. Cheers! --Ginkgo100talk 03:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Queerslogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Queerslogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Screeching Weasel
Hello, sure I can clean up the discography section. My hope is to eventually make the Weasel page a featured article. I am looking at other featured bands as a guide. I am looking at AC/DC, Bob Dylan, The Jackson 5, the Pixies and the Sex Pistols. I am about to create my user page where I will list my plan of action. I saw you have done a lot of work for that page and I hope that you have time to work with me on it. Badalia 13:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Papa Roach is hard rock thats right
Yes they have some big influences of Hard rock but also a lot of Post-Grunge and Alternative rock! just say Alterntive rock/post-grunge/hard rock/nu metal/rapore! NOT ALTERNATIVE METAL!! we don't block each other we just talk in a normal way alright? on THE PARAMOUR SESSIONS are very diffrent influences. from pop punk to post-hardcore8(the song alive), post-grunge, hard rock, pop rock and a little bit from nu metal(because the song to be loved)! you know?? there are so many musicstyles1 SO YOU CAN SAY ALTERNATIVE ROCK you know? and GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER IS NOT JUST HARD ROCK!! that record has got punk and hardcore influences but also hard rock! BUT REMEmber the songs:BLOOD / TYRANNY / DONE WITH YOU OR BLANKET OF FEAR!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Logoramones.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Logoramones.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

Mallcore
Hi. As you most probably know, you have tagged the article Mallcore as speedy deletable material, on the basis that it was a recreated article. The article has been deleted through an AfD process a while ago, and was indeed recreated (not by me) four months later. The reasons that led to its deletion in December 2006 were that there was uncontestable POV and a list of bands. The present version of the article does not have those issues. If you want to delete the article, go through an AfD process. ZOUAVMAN LE ZOUAVE 11:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Nomination for Adminship
Thank you so much for the nomination, seriously I wasn't expecting it. But I don't know if I can accept it yet as I only created my account two months ago and there's is still so much that I don't know about wikipedia. I know I have done a fair amount of vandalism/sockpuppet fighting(for a newbie anyway) but I still want to make a stub article into a proper article (or something along those lines). I really appreciate the nomination but I think it would be better to nominate me when I feel like I know what I'm doing and I've made the super article which is currently stored in my head :D. When I create it, I will post a link to it on my talk page (I'll probably be very proud of it) and it'll be then when the nominations might start. But really thanks for having so much faith and confidence in what I have done here at wikipedia.  Angel Of Sadness  T / C  13:19, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Response to question about sock puppet
In response to your question on my talk page, I was going to wait awhile to see if User:Alterego269 continues using User:68.88.73.146, or if it was just for a few edits today. If you want to file a sock report go ahead though, since it's very obvious that he was using that IP to evade a block.Spylab 17:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

If you have problems with an article being unsourced, and that article has survived a previous AFD, try to source it or send it back to AFD. Don't nominate it for speedy deletion - it's not speedy deletable.

 * Regardless - if you can't source it, take it to AFD, especially if it survived a previous AFD. --Coredesat 03:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You are about to violate the three-revert rule. If you don't want to be blocked, just take the article to AFD like I and another person have suggested to you three times now. It would likely be deleted there, and this survived a previous one, so it cannot be speedily deleted. --Coredesat 22:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Tell me where the rule is about making false information true. And MySpace is the best source there is because the band members made and edit their MySpace page. They are mainly a rock band, not emo.

 * You don't need a citation for every little fact about a band, especially not for a genre. Look at any other band article. There are rarely citations on genres. So do not put the citation request up again because it is not needed. Tim Y 03:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Unexplained removal of content
That's fair enough. It would have been nice if the IP, who made the edit, had taken part in the articles discussion(by looking at his edit history) or at least mentioned it in the edit summary.

Deathrock
Instead of answering what I wrote in the talk page of deathrock you are threatening to delete the article if people don't give the citiations that YOU want. That is troll like behaviour. Why do you feel that the article should conform to what YOU think it should be? Citing Wiki rules, and using them to get what YOU particularly want without discussion is itself against Wiki rules. It is supposed to be about talking to one another, NOT about deleteing articles that don't conform to exactly your wishes.Crescentia 13:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Also I just consolidated your citation requests. Instead of after every instrument or band I put the citation request after the sentence. I think you went a bit overboard.Crescentia 16:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hoponpop69 18:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * First of all the edit you made makes it look like the only thing in question is the last part of the sentence. Secondly regardless you should not delete citation requests. Third you seem to claim that we don't need to follow wiki rules, and accuse me of trolling because I want to enforce them? That seems illogical to me. I'm reverting your edit, if you have a problem with that I suggest you file a request for an administrator to sort this out.
 * I have a problem with you because you do not consult anybody before you make major edits, nor do you discuss why an article needs citations. Wiki is about discussion and sorting things out together, not about people using their particular POV to change articles. I accuse you of trolling because you are making edits without discussing any of them before doing so.Crescentia 18:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

When to cite, any editor has the right to challenge unsourced material by opening a discussion on the talk page or by tagging it.
 * You do not need to discuss why an article needs citations before adding citation requests. According to

As for your accusations that I am trolling because I make edits without discussing them, I'll refer you to What is a troll? which states, "Trolling refers to deliberate and intentional attempts to disrupt the usability of Wikipedia for its editors, administrators, developers, and other people who work to create content for and help run Wikipedia." I am deliberately trying to disrupt wikipedia, I am just trying to make sure the article does not have false information and points of view. Hoponpop69 19:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No you are not. You have not discussed ANY of your edits on the talk pages of the articles. Instead you just keep reverting your edits. Yes, you can tag articles, but edit warring with other people without an explanation as to why you want those edit tags is paramount to troll like behaviour. Putting cite tags after EVERY name of a band or instrument is overkill and ridiculous. By doing all of this you are disrupting Wikipedia, because you are spamming artciles with cite tags that make no sense. There is a difference between discussing wanting more info in an article and threatening the deletion of an article if things don't go the way you want them to.According to your talk page you have been accused of such behaviour before, and you have been suspended.Crescentia 19:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons Theme
The alternate versions cited in the "End Credits theme" section are not covers. At the end of every episode, a slightly different version of the theme airs over the credits. These themes have been changed occasionally to different versions that reflect a theme of that particular episode - there's been a "Jazz Quartet version", "Hockey Organ Version" "Australian Version", etc. And, on a few occasions, these alternate versions have been played by musical guests - Sonic Youth, NRBQ, Los Lobos, Yo La Tengo, etc. The section is about the end credits theme, and it cites the versions played by different artists as examples. -- Scorpion0422 02:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

But because they are not done by Danny Elfman that makes them covers. A cover is a song that is played by an artist that is not an original. Hoponpop69 22:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Alf Clausen has taken over the musical directing, so that means it wouldn't be a cover. The end credits version is different from the main theme anyway. I've asked the good folks at WP:SIMPSONS for opinions on the matter. -- Scorpion0422 23:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Technically it would still be a cover. But I'll see what the WP: Simpsons people think. Hoponpop69 01:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Why was this uneligible for deletion?
The Scum punk article can be deleted if there is consensus to do so. However, it is not eligible for speedy deletion or proposed deletion because the article survived an articles for deletion discussion. I hope that answers your question. - EurekaLott 14:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

So I created the surf punk article a while back and I check on it and it's pending deletion. So I came to you, the one who suggested the deletion.

That still gives you no right to remove my source. Bands like AC/DC never play at christian rock festivals for the simple fact that they are NOT Christian rock bands. Please agree here to have this feud moderated by an admin. Hoponpop69 23:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC) Now first of all I DON"T LIKE THE FACT YOU ARE TELLING EVERONE IAM A LIER.

Acid Punk
That Acid punk article is hogwash IMHO. I think it's a valid genre, however, and the list of groups isn't bad. If your citation requests don't bear fruit it should definitely be pared down. Wwwhatsup 00:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Smashing Pumpkins
I reverted your message on the talk page for The Smashing Pumpkins because it has less to do with direct work on the article itself and more with canvassing for opinions on a debate on an unrelated talk page. I'd recommend you instead personally contact users that have been involved in genre debates, or that you know have expressed concern with Allmusic as a genre source, but even then that might be seen as negative canvassing. It's better to just let the debate run as is. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See WP:Canvassing. I'd recommend you revert similar posting you have made on article talk pages. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to reframe this on the talk page, by simply stating "AMG lists them as grunge, do you think this should be listed here?". Then if people express opinions, I will go to their talk page an invite them to join the debate.Hoponpop69 (talk) 05:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * For now let the discussion carry on as is. If replies are slow in coming in the next few days then trying contacting others. People can get really testy about canvassing (I've seen people get mad when others ask a number of people to merely visit a Peer Review or FAC) WesleyDodds (talk) 05:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Editing contentious comments
(Refering to this edit.) In short: don't. :-) People don't like it if you remove pieces of what they are saying. It may make them mad, and that's not what we want, none of us. Even if there is quite clearly no constructive effect, removing it is likely to be less constructive. And in cases where the main part of a comment is actually very much to the point, as this one, I frown upon it even more. In my humble opinion, the best approach is a small reply to mitigate the impact. Just asking readers pleasantly to disregard the PS'es should be enough. And if you then still feel the user needs to be reprimanded, you can nicely do that on his/her talk page. To conclude, I lovingly request that you undo your edit, and proceed to express your disagreement in another way. And know that I share your reasons for this action, Wikipedia would be nicer without such comments. But you can't forcefully change people, they should be approached as you yourself would like to be approached. Enjoy. -- Pepve (talk) 01:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Let me not forget to state that this explicitly applies to content and intent of messages. Limited editing to correct non-intentional and non-content errors such as wrong URL's, forgotten indents and unsigned comments is of course alright. -- Pepve (talk) 02:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that I have failed to compel you to revert your edit, or even respond to my criticism. This leaves me with nothing, as communication is all we got. I'm disappointed. -- Pepve (talk) 01:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Just revert it yourself, you don't need my permission.Hoponpop69 (talk) 01:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You seem to have misunderstood me, I'm sorry that I wasn't any clearer. I meant to ask you to revert it. And more importantly, I want to convince you not to do things like this again. Thank you. -- Pepve (talk) 14:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Comments regarding Good Morning Revival
Hi Hoponpop69. I know you are frustrating with 146.115.43.96 over the dispute at Good Morning Revival. But please refrain from comments such as the [ this]. I've redacted it and the other comment related to it from the IP's talk page, and I ask that you do not restore them.

Speedy deletion of Cobra Skulls
A tag has been placed on Cobra Skulls requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Cobra Skulls
One source doesn't seem adequate, though. That's just my opinion, though. Master of Puppets Care to share?  02:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I see you haven't archived your talk page in a while, and it's getting rather long. I suggest you archive it sometime soon, unless you were planning on archiving it at the end of the year. Thanks. Tim meh contribs  19:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Manic Sewing Circle
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Manic Sewing Circle, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
