You know people like you ---- me off , you don't know ---- about Metal and you just talk ----, If I wasn't here then there would be no page for Brachiosauride on this website, I had the same issue with moderators of the ---- wikipedia about two other pages too (Sunn O))) and Vattnet Viskar) I wanna help your site about Underground Metal music bands and you don't want it --46.70.56.240

If you have constructive content that is can be verified by independent reliable sources, then go ahead and add it. I acknowledge that I do not know much about metal, I just research it and look for sourceable content. I have no problem with any band, underground or not, being on Wikipedia, as long as the article meets the standards of Wikipedia.--¿3family6 _contribs 18:46, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Greets. Found my add to the 'Avant-garde metal' article deleted, because the source cited is not considered to be reliable. It first turned me simply furious, but I try to see the problem larger. Avant-garde metal is a genre that is quite hard to call mainstream. Many bands are really underground. Like Lux Occulta, or Phlebotomized. For some reasons these bands are still very underrated due to the lack of attention to their music. But if you give them a listen, being an expert, you will easily discover that they are real avant-garde. I think the whole article concerned should be revised: calling Celtic Frost or Agalloch avant-garde while rejecting Opeth from the list seems pure nonsense to me as a fan of this kind of music. But my question is about something else: how is it possible that I cite a reliable source for a band that is unfairly underrated and therefore not reviewed in serious zines? There are hundreds of cases like that of Lux Occulta, so no place in Wiki for them? This is not a reproach to you, but I would be really grateful if you could at least point me at the ways of solving the problem. Thanks in advance!--Alex Vynogradoff (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

I really don't know what to say. I agree that the avant-garde metal article is not that great, but it is very, very hard to find any reliable sources that discuss it, I've pretty much used all the reliable internet sources available to get the article to its current state. For Lux Occulta, I would just say keep looking. Your best bet for a good, reliable mention is MusicMight/Rockdetector or Blabbermouth.net. Allmusic has an article on them, but it doesn't mention avant-garde or experimental metal. Hope you can find something,--¿3family6 contribs 21:03, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi!

I did not realise that the article had been resubmitted. However I agree with Chzz that it needs stronger sources before being accepted. I do like the quantity, which would stop it from being Speedily Deleted, however I doubt it would survive an AFD. Sincerely, He's Gone Mental 13:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Have you actually found a source stating that Bathory's Blood Fire Death has its origins in folk music? Because if not, you're going to be struggling. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I also would like to see the justification for the reliability of The Metal Bible. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 13:11, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I left the article in a bit of a mess, in the middle of working on it I realized I needed to leave. I'm going to improve the wording when I integrate sources that I found. So I do plan on discussing the folk influence on Viking metal, and to integrate sources, I was just interrupted this morning.

With regard to Johannes Jonsson, in my edit summary I said that his site was "praised" by academic literature. To say "praised" is incorrect, I forgot how his work was examined. He wasn't really praised, instead he was used as a source in two separate academic works by Marcus Moberg.

The first work is a draft paper for a presentation given by Moberg at a global conference on heavy metal (info can be found here). On page 6 he quotes the Metal for Jesus! site and uses it as a reference.

The second source is a book by Moberg, I think its based off of his thesis paper. (As an aside, this book is probably the most extensive look at Christian metal ever done). In it he uses Jonsson heavily as a source (examples include pages 192, 209, and 211.), and he also takes an in depth look at The Metal Bible on pages 196-198. Though I can't remember if Moberg mentions Jonsson's involvement, Jonsson was in fact the organizer and I think publisher of that project.

Also, Jonsson has written two concert reviews for HM Magazine: [1] [2]--¿3family6 _contribs 19:24, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

"neither source is used for that claim"

Look at the edit that put the claim into the article. I'll quote it for you: "As for the loose definition of screamo, see reference #7 and #55"

PaganPanzerfaust (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't see which edit you're talking about, but I didn't go that far back through the history. The statement and source you are removing though is not ref #7 or #55. I'm thinking that the numbers have changed, probably because sources were moved in the article or new refs were added. The statement you have been removing is sourced by ref #6 (which makes me think the numbers have changed). I've been suspicious of the reliability of that source for a while, I'm putting up a questionable tag.--¿3family6 _contribs 00:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not going to make the so called "editor war" or whatever, I just want to understand your point. In my opinion if the creators of the genre started out as sludge, this should be noted in the style's origins. What else are the origins if not the music background of the founders? Plus - I listen to this kind of music and all I see is most of the bands described also as sludge metal or atmospheric sludge metal - there surely is some overlapping that should be noted too.Xr 1 (talk) 13:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for asking for clarification, I wish more people did that. The origins section is for what styles of music that the genre/style in question developed out of. Yes, the founders of post-metal (maybe excluding Helmet, I don't know enough about that band) are sourced as sludge, but no sources have been provided that post-metal itself came out of sludge. It's a subtle but very crucial difference. The styles do overlap, and this is mentioned in the article, but we need a definitive source saying that post-metal came out of sludge. I know that it did, but I third-party reliable source has to state this.--¿3family6 _contribs 16:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for you answer, I'm happy that we are arguing but not fighting. I understand what you are saying, but I still think that if Neurosis laid the ground for what's to come and Oceanic by Isis is the first post-metal album which everyone is inspired by, their influnces are what's important. However, as I said, I'm not going to add sludge again and again. Xr 1 (talk) 07:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thanks again for not making a huge deal out of this. I understand where you are coming from, it's just that making that jump is original research, specifically original synthesis. The big problem with argument you have put forward is that Helmet and Tool are also cited as pioneers, and as far a I know they did not really embrace sludge.--¿3family6 _contribs 11:42, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I actually haven't paid much attention to those bands in particular. That was my mistake. I suggest some brief mentioning about Neurosis and Isis being related to the sludge scene - I didn't see it exactly specified in the article.Xr 1 (talk) 14:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

The article doesn't exactly mention them. Right now the article says: "As a label, some see post-metal as redundant, since some bands listed as post-metal contain many elements similar to doom metal, progressive metal, sludge metal, and stoner metal." If you have verifiable material on Isis and Neurosis being sludge (this is probably on their articles), than go ahead and create a small mention.--¿3family6 _contribs 17:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I used the sources I previously put in the talk page, I think they are reliable - the source about Isis is from AllMusic's review, and now the article says "Although Neurosis and Godflesh appeared earlier and display elements befitting post-metal, Isis, who like Neurosis[7] were involved in the sludge metal scene,[8] are often credited with laying down the conventions and definition of the genre in less nebulous terms, with their release of Oceanic in 2002.[9]" I used "were" because they broke up.Xr 1 (talk) 20:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Looks good.--¿3family6 _contribs 01:20, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I'm actually familiar with WP:RS and that is exactly why I chose the two sources you removed from List of symphonic metal bands. While there are lots of fanzines that post user-written reviews and comments, these two sites work with a defined staff. Powermetal.de is published by Weihrauch Medien Verlag, a professional publishing house and CDstarts is a also a business (GbR is a type of legal status in Germany) that does reviews for profit with a professional staff and a professional marketing background (see their imprint. If such sites are not reliable for you I recommend that you remove all instances of MusicMight from that list as well, not to mention this. Regards, De728631 (talk) 22:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC).

Sorry, I was a little overzealous and unfamiliar with these sources. Actually, I'm glad to hear that Powermetal.de is reliable, because it often shows up a lot in my searches for sources and could potentially be very valuable. Thanks,--¿3family6 _contribs 23:47, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I'm trying to accomplish anything. I would love to be able to do something about the utter tripe on the page (and others), but it goes a bit deeper than just arguing about the content; it's Wikipedia's rules that are the problem. I think we need to be more judgemental regarding reliable sources, because some of them present legitimate misinformation. Sadly, I can't do anything about this; the problem should be brought up somewhere higher up, but I'm not going to be able to change Wikipedia policy. I feel powerless; the most I can do is vandalise pages to let off some steam.

I'll stop the vandalism, but aside from that I have no idea what to do about this stuff. --LordNecronus (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

That's no excuse for vandalism, and thank you for desisting. Are there any particular pieces of information or listings on the avant-garde metal page that are a problem?--¿3family6 _contribs 17:27, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I could bring up specific bands (and I did ages ago in the case of Pentagram), but I don't think it would really get to the heart of the issue. Basically, my problem is that bands are being added simply if a source refers to them as "avant-garde metal" or "experimental metal", regardless of whether the source is written by an expert on the style or not, whether the source has anything to do with metal or not, or whether the source actually explains how the artist in question is experimental/avant-garde or not. I think we should look at the source and then compare the artist being referred to as part of the genre to the reliably-sourced definition we already have on the article ("it is characterized by the use of innovative, avant-garde elements, large-scale experimentation, and the use of non-standard and unconventional sounds, instruments, song structures, playing styles, and vocal techniques") to see if they fit; but, of course, that involves questioning WP:RS, and in order to actually make this article somewhat accurate and non-contradictory, I'd need to try and convince higher-ups to alter the reliable source rule... not that they'll listen. --LordNecronus (talk) 19:30, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I understand. If a band has only one passing mention, that isn't always enough to get it listed, so even if a reliable source calls it avant-garde or experimental metal, you could challenge the band being listed if that is the only mention. If you think a source is unreliable, you should definitely challenge it.--¿3family6 _contribs 19:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, okay, that makes more sense. I was just following the consensus on the review site list. I actually did not know why this was the case, but because you asked I tracked down the discussion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Archive 40#Review_site: Metal Storm. I have found that my initial assumption, that the site underwent a reorganization, was correct. But there is more to it than that. Apparently, in the late 00s the site started to be referenced by reliable publications. I only skimmed through the discussion, so I don't know exactly why 2009 was chosen as the specific date, but that was what was agreed upon.--¿3family6 _contribs 18:44, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Could you please point me to an example of a Metalstorm article being published by a notable third-party source?

All the other list articles have this formatting. And extra ==List== is stating the obvious. This is a aesthetic issue so I don't think you should contravene standard for personal preferences.Curb Chain (talk) 02:03, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and I did not know that having a list heading was not standard, my first encounters with band list articles had that heading, so that is what I assumed was the standard, and it is a lot easier to navigate. Like I said, I'll try to find a less redundant solution.--¿3family6 _contribs 02:24, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I realized that it is not redundant, because it distinguishes the alphabetical list from the references and see also sections.--¿3family6 _contribs 02:28, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

This is patently obvious. You don't need to section off the list alphabetically. The article is a list so to make another heading is repetitive if not redundant. Unless you plan to relist the entries again in another taxonomy.Curb Chain (talk) 04:24, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

If anything, the format I used is more of the standard. As a reader, it is a lot easier to use the list this way as well. Finally, I'll probably do what I originally wanted to due, and that is add a section listing record labels and possibly regional scenes.--¿3family6 _contribs 12:54, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, it's me again. There is some minor kerfuffel (is that how that's spelt? I've never written it down) over at the above linked article. Essentially it is one concerning sourcing; we have a new editor that is of the True Goff Is the Only Goff variety (you know, like the metal purists and punk purists that turn up on other lists). Unfortunately, this means that they don't really acknowledge that other viewpoints may exist (my opinion is irrelevant, obviously, but for the record I'm a tradgoth type of person, much like said editor, but realise that other viewpoints exist in reliable sources in the press; they however have perhaps just jumped on my username and made some assumptions). Sourced material is systematically removed with no reference to policy (well, apart from the fact that they disagree with WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:RS in general), and whilst I have tried to remain civil in the light of a fair amount of abuse, I've left a final message at the bottom of the talk page with a solution that we've adopted at other contentious articles, e.g. the list of nu metal bands. I don't anticipate much positive reaction, but I did say I'd ask some other editors to look at it, particularly editors that I haven't always seen eye to eye with in the past, so as to avoid accusations of gaming the system. I thought you'd fit the bill as we've frequently disagreed about things but seem to be able to work together pretty well to improve the project :-) I'd appreciate it if you could spare some time to take a look, as I'm not going to commit a WP:3RR violation and I'm not getting anywhere through dialogue with this particular editor. (Sent to a couple of other people as well.) Cheers, Blackmetalbaz (talk) 16:37, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

The more I look at that NME article, the more flaws I find in it. Latest it's that it's a blog post under which NME places an "opinion" disclaimer. It's an editorial that NME itself hasn't backed. Is that STILL a reliable source? And yet again, I've accepted Evanescence because some writer did call them "goth rock" in the lead of an article. But "goth rock" is not referred to in the NME article for Marilyn Manson. To ASSUME that "goth track" "80s goth" etc equates to gothic rock is the same synthesis you complained about. I will absolutely not accept that source unless you can specifically explain to me the logical process by which you derive "gothic rock" from the text. If you can do that, I will back down. Until that point, you are using a reference *which does say what you say it does* and as such it is *not* a reliable source for that information. I also can't believe it took me this long to notice that the list isnt' even goth rock tracks, but just "Goth tracks". I'd have decimated this as a source ages ago if I had. - BalthCat (talk)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to List of death metal bands !-K.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!
