Hey, I'm fine. Don't need any help with anything at the moment, but thanks for asking. Bloodredchaos (talk) 02:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I have heard your voice on the subject and have decided to take a bit of action. Please go here and cast your vote according to your thoughts. Tell any one else that might be of any use to this discussion. Undeath (talk) 06:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Howdy! It HAS been awhile, hasn't it. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. You're absolutely right in that there is a loophole re: lumping progressive death metal in with technical death metal. Personally, I feel that the two terms are basically the same thing, but it lacks clarity. What, for example, is non-technical death metal...is it death metal played badly, or with few chord changes? Can something be "progressive" that isn't technical? Who knows! Call me a simpleton, but perhaps I don't spend enough time gazing at my navel and thinking about such things. I viewed that the consensus of users was that the two terms essentially mean the same thing. I don't know if I'm an expert on death metal, but I'm as close to one as there could be (I guess) - my observations on the band Death, for example, reveal the genesis of the genre that was more simplistic at the start (Scream Bloody Gore, Leprosy), but as Schuldiner progressed as a guitarist and musician, so did his songs and arrangements. They became more complex, hence more "technical" (or "progressive"). I would thus tell a person who wants to know the difference to listen to the first Death album SBG and then listen to the fourth album Human to see the difference between death metal and technical death metal.
I'll make sure to go over the references and see if it can all be cleaned up. You can see from my contributions have been few & far between lately, but if I encounter any metal ones I'll give you a shout!

Hey dude; regarding your re adding of the power metal sub genres - the example you gave was Iced Earth being thrash-power metal. Although I would agree with this normally, I can't say that that'd mean the genre of thrash-power metal is definite in its existence. A lot of bands incorporate more then one genre into their music, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are this whole new genre. I get what you are saying, but this unfortunately doesn't qualify as an actual source to prove that these genres exist, otherwise I could draw my own ideas between bands that incorporate power metal elements into their music. I'd be happy to leave the sub genres there, but I did mention on the talk page a good few months ago (I think it was November/December time) that it was unsourced, and I'd be removing it within a weeks time, even though I left it a good month or two. Still, no sources were added for it, and without the necessary references to back up the existence of these other power metal genres, they are liable to be removed at any time. Otherwise, saying that "thrash-power metal" exists because bands such as Iced Earth combine such elements would count at original research. ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be a policy about the usage of flags, wp:mosflag, especially this. I am of the opinion that we can retain the nationality info in the written format, rather than doing away with it altogether. Weltanschaunng 05:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Unforatunately you are still incorrect as several experieced editors have confirmed that this is a misuse so they will all likely be removed eventually one way or another. --neonwhite user page talk 21:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. You've added Satyricon to the Mittelalter rock article a couple of times now. I understand you're probably a fan of the band and wish to give recognition where recognition is due. Unfortunately, what you wrote falls under the category of Original Research. See WP:OR. There's no verifiablity to what you wrote due to the absence of any citations or references. If you can find some reliable source, you can add the information somewhere on wikipedia but not in the Mittelalter rock article. As you note in your latest revision, the only similarity between the two is the name. I would suggest that if you can find some established and authoritative source on "medieval black metal," then you should add the info to either the black metal article, the Satyricon page or the one for the Dark Medieval Times album. Once you do that, a sentence can be add at the top of the Mittelalter rock article along the lines of "Not to be confused with medieval black metal" or something to that effect. --Bardin (talk) 02:02, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Why would adding a band I am a fan of constitute as Vandalism in any way? The full on elitist nature of wikipedia has already angered me to a point beyond redemption, as articles I have made have been 'speedily deleted' before I even had the chance to complete them.
In case you hadn't guessed this is referring to the article which I added to a list of black metal bands..It was referenced though I doubt you even followed that up. Could you please enlighten me as to why this would have been deleted when all sources were viable and accurate and the band itself full complies with your 'Other' section on what constitutes as a worthy piece of information on wikipedia.
I await your reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fjordtggr (talk • contribs) 07:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to say on the matter, to be honest. I think the subject is relevant, but I have to agree with you when you say it is rather shitty. I mean, the article is a total mess, full of OR and the fact that it is an article of that size without a SINGLE reference really disgusts me. Lol, actually I'd always thought it was a pretty good article (and all the other ones such as the black metal fashion one should be merged into this one), but now that you've actually pointed it out, I do see that it is a bit of a mess. I'll have a wander over to the AfD and see if I can come to a decision myself, as I'm a bit on the fence at the moment, mainly due to my second sentence. ≈ The Haunted Angel 00:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Canvassing. 'Nuff said. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 00:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
All messages that I can see were pretty neutral. Thus far, no clear cut canvassing has occured. ScarianCall me Pat 22:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
You damn well did! You're gorgeous, too. I am just saying that. Really. --Alisyntalk 02:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I answered to the metal discussion and I think they have got their facts wrong and go off topic with it aswell. METALFREAK04 (talk) 11:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Click on there now and choose an era of musical bands/performers/artists/songwriters you want to do. If we have enough people we can amke wikipedia better for good.
Send this round to alot of people....:) or tell me how to.
I gone mental on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_death_metal_bands —Preceding unsigned comment added by METALFREAK04 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Well in person I take the Gaelic spelling "Pairic" which is pronounced (in Gaelic) O-for-rik or poor-rik. Daniel is pretty common; poor you ;-) - You need a pic up to show people who they're dealing with too :-D ScarianCall me Pat 21:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I have the shittiest initials on earth. I was born APH, but kids called me an aphhole. Then I switched it in honor of my Grandmother, which I probably shouldn't have done. Now my initials or ACH. And wikipedia is great! Just because vandals are here doesn't mean it's not good.--Alisyntalk 23:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Shall I come in with justification for this Pat bloke or not? 10:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by METALFREAK04 (talk • contribs)
Man, this month i feel really good with my wikipedia edits. I'm pwning n00bs left and right. Victoriously reverting that which is wrong, reporting a bunch of vandals (I think I've got almost 10 blocked this month), editing a bunch of articles in a super constructive way. I rule. If you disagree, you're wrong. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Just thought I'd give some pointers (and I hope you take them as positive criticism):
I will probabaly be gone for a week or so. Which sucks. I hope wikipedia doesn't completely go to shit. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Done. Have a nice holiday, Daniel! ScarianCall me Pat 19:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the problem with that edit; I honestly don't know why the AfD tag was deleted by my edit, it was not intended. My best guess is that I erroneously hit edit on an older revision of the article from the history tab rather than on the current version. If so, that's an embarrassing and regrettable error on my part. My edit was solely intended to remove the external link that appeared to be spam in nature; but in the current version of the article, that does not appear to be the case. I apologize for any confusion, irritation, or frustration that my edit may have caused. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
What was vandalism about ANYTHING that I wrote? I'm trying to be helpful. Besides, I read a bunch of this stuff elsewhere, although it's my fault for not citing it. Certainly nothing is point of view.
The Waylon Reavis "vandalism" was only an attempt to clean up the wording. The heavy metal fashion is completely true from the statements of our friends out in Norway (Black metal er anti-Kristne, hvor kunne du ikke oppfatte?). As for Ulver, I should have cited the place I got that from. It was some obscure website dedicated to Ulver, and I forgot to cite it. Now I'll have to dig through a thousand sites to get it again, but when I do, I'll put it back up. BTW, the Mayhem song is Chainsaw Gutsfuck. I'm into all the black metal stuff, but I've been blocked on other websites for posting that name. People piss me off like that. The world is not friendly to metal fans. FAEN DENNE VERDEN, FAEN DET FOLK!!!! (P.S. Although I am American, my band is called Iskald Mørke. Look for us sometime in the next few years. We'll be there.) Paragon of Arctic Winter Nights (talk) 13:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry about the tildes. I usually remember to do that. Faen denne verden, faen det folk is Norwegian for "fuck the people, fuck the world"- it's a kind of motto for our group. My Norwegian is limited, but I try. The other bit is also Norwegian, the closest English equivalent is "Black metal is anti-Christian, what do I not understand?"(about my post on metal, it's implied in Norwegian). I'll try to reword it, perhaps. I modified the Waylon Reavis part so that it would be more encyclopedic, but I tweaked my earlier edit. I should have cited the Ulver pages anyways, because then we'd at least have something to check. I'll be a little more thoughtful now. BTW, if you want a laugh, on iTunes, they call Mayhem POP. As little as I care about genres, that's pretty pathetic. I don't care how badly they may have sold out, that isn't pop. All right, have a good one, man. Paragon of Arctic Winter Nights (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Not a problem. I've got your page on my watchlist, so I try to keep an eye out for any vandalism. (Don't worry, I'm not a stalker, I just have a few editor's pages on my watchlist incase they get vandalised ^_~) ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
