[edit] Re: Code
Thanks Twsx. I'm quite concerned that this is a bad news sort of code. Did you see his comment on Navnlos'/Blizzardbeast's talk page? "make the changes I want" (Might not be exact quote I can't remember) - that is worrying. I'm gonna get someone to look into the code. Any ideas about what we can do about it? It's gonna start and edit war and he [and possible anyone else] will be blocked. ScarianCall me Pat 21:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Greetings
I saw your comment on Pat's (Scarian) page and I'm glad you have decided to stop worrying about line breaks/ comma breaks. I have nothing to do with them anymore, either. Though I still do try to keep the ones that are in place the same. I see that what with you reporting me for 3RR you are still out to get me and very quick with it, too. You might be interested to know that Pat nominated me for adminship (and no, it wasn't an April Fool's joke, though I thought it was). I'm not saying this to show off (I actually wouldn't want to tell you because I know you would oppose me as soon as possible) but I say it only so that you might stop disliking me so much and see that I am a good editor and try my best. I've been catching vandals like crazy and warning and reporting a bunch. I've been making a ton of productive edits all around wikipedia as well. So far I haven't decided if I will accept the adminship nom for a number of reasons, but i'm sure I can expect you to sign under oppose when I do. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- I disagree with my "huge summary of incivilities" as I have not been incivil except when I first joined almost a year ago. I don't think I have "disregards for policy," and I think I've made a lot of great contributions to wikipedia. I also notice, despite the fact that you say you have "nothing personal" against me that it has been you that has reported me the last three times or so that I have been reported by anyone. However, despite disagreeing with you (and also my thoughts on how you have edited), I appreciate the hidden compliments buried somewhere in there and I do hope you keep an open mind as you seem to now. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 18:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure you would like where that was going. The guy is a serious idiot, and he's been blocked two or three times for making personal attacks against me already (and I still don't know why he started them). As far as I know I think he started insulting me because I saw him attack someone else on the Metallica talk page and I warned him of WP:CIVIL and also couldn't help but mention he was hard to understand, so he threw a fit. But really, he is hard to understand. He not only spells like a child but the things he says fall into that same category. He has no idea what he's taslking about and is extremely childish. I will also point out I never started anything with him. The last time he attacked me I told him to leave me alone...and he did for a few months then suddenly he vandalizes my user page and another user warns him and...well, you get the picture.

[edit] Confused...
Can you clarify this comment please...[1]. Who is this directed at? Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 10:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I assumed that is what you meant, but wasn't certain, I thought possibly you were responding to my response on his talk page (confusing huh?!). Cheers. Nouse4aname (talk) 11:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No worries!
I was just about to let you know about that! It's very confusing that he signs his name as one thing which redirects to a separate user page...shouldn't be allowed really! Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 11:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- That is true. But it has to be this way, otherwise it wouldn't look 'cool', right? ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 11:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ha ha! So true! Nouse4aname (talk) 12:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is bordering on incivil. And it has nothing to do with being "cool". I saw other users do it and firgured, "what the hell?" This was when I had my normal signature so I decided to alter it as twsx has, but put in a different name than my user name (which is not that confusing...) as another one of my wikifriends had done this and told me how. I hardly care about being "cool," and I'm serious about that. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of nu metal bands / Spineshank
I can't help but disagree with you on the Spineshank issue. Nu-metal is categorized as featuring hip-hop influences, such as rapping and/or deejaying, two elements that Spineshank NEVER implemented in their music. And it says so on their Wiki page because the guy who maintains it is stubborn and won't let me add this statement to their page: "They are categorized as industrial-influenced metal, with some also claiming them to be nu-metal, while others disagree citing the band's lack of deejaying or rapping in their music." I think the point here is that if someone (i.e. ME) disagrees that the band is nu-metal, there should be a "genre disputed" title next to the band. And I doubt that I am the only who sees this. You want a "Typical" nu-metal band? Listen to 3rd Strike, Darwin's Waiting Room, Limp Bizkit, or Linkin Park. Hsxeric (talk) 11:20, 03 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not every nu metal band needs to be "rapping". And no, you disagreeing makes no dispute. Genres are a topic heavily fought over. What my or your opinion on the matter is matters relatively little; The de facto ruling is to go with whatever sources say. There are no sources who state they are not nu metal, there are however many sources stating them as nu metal. Please do not revert again without any reasoning. ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 11:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
True not every nu-metal band needs "rapping" but they need some sort of hip-hop or funk elements, all of which Spineshank lacks. And as for sources, do you really believe everything the media tells you? Especially rock journalists, the worst kind of writers out there?Hsxeric (talk) 11:20, 03 May 2008 (UTC)
- You do not seem to understand. What I (or you, or any other individual) alone believe matters not — Opinions differ. You can't write crucial details with someones opinion as validation for its truth. So, what do you do? You either talk about it and reach consensus, or (usually in the lack of consensus) go with what reliable sources say. By this manner of judgement, Spineshank is a nu metal band or at least directly affiliated with the genre. Hence, no dispute. ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 19:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
You win. Hsxeric (talk) 11:20, 06 May 2008 (UTC)
Lol, you finally wore the poor guy out. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I wrote it. And I wanted to remove it. Get over it. Hsxeric (talk) 11:20, 06 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why?
why you are reverting all my edits??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nu89 (talk • contribs) 07:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Think well, "alternative metal" is even more loosely defined than nu metal, read the article on AMG about alternative metal. If you keep my edit, nu metal will be better defined...

[edit] Hey
I might actually need your help. I know, inconceivable, right? Anyways, first, what do you think about WP:V? I've seen previously that you seem to be a stickler for it. I just want to know if you approve of it and enforce it. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 18:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I generally approve of it, because despite not acting on that instinct, i don't think you can generally trust in people to edit in good faith. While i think there should always be as many references as possible, i don't think each and every statement must be referenced by a source as big as, i.e., a major national newspaper. That's a dream world, as not every subject is covered by the media as huge as some circus attractions like Britney Spears for example are. However, the moment an argument is contended (obviously, i mean REALLY contended, not one random stranger saying "it's so"), a source as good and reliable as possible should be looked for. If none can be found, in most cases i'd rather see the part removed from the article than to use a strange source. So, long story short: Support it, generally yes. Enforce it, generally not so much. ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 19:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- Well I absolutely agree with what you said. Although I do believe it should be enforced more. I'm aware most people don't enforce it, and in fact, it seems to be generally ignored. I'm glad we agree. I may need your support in the future on this issue. I've had some issues with users. I wanted to remove a bunch of incited info that was total crap per WP:POV and WP:V and they kept reverting me. One of the users was saying things like, "You can't blank so much information. We must always think of the users and blanking such information does not help the user when they want to come to this page and learn something." Even if it's wrong? I was aghast. The user was totally misguided. I want to help users, too. But that means I want them to read information that is CORRECT. If there is even a small chance of it being wrong it needs to be removed to prevent misinformation being spread. Anyways, long story short, it seems resloved now, but we'll see, I may need your support on this issue in the future and this is not canvassing, I just might need your support to enforce a policy. Because those users just kept ignoring me and I told them to read WP:V and, well, they ignored me. I, too, wish that everything could be cited with a reliable source. Alas. Anyways, I hope I can count on your help with this issue if it ever arises again. Thanks. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah, I hear you. It's definitely easier to delete unreferenced info than to actually search for reliable sources, which is kinda sad, but that's just the way it is. Thanks. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
