Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Tool (band) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Thanks

Thanks for fixing all those typos on Jesus. One of these decades I should learn to type. 90% of those typos were mine.... But you are very thorough. Good fixes. History2007 (talk) 03:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The End Records

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The End Records 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Inks.LWC (talk) 17:55, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

The Accüsed

Hi Nite-Sirk, I noticed you made a few helpful changes to The Accüsed page recently. Anyways, my recent goal has been trying to clean up that page and expand the discography (my goal was one new album page a day, ha!), but so far it's slow going. Any chance I can convince you to help me out with some of the album pages? The covers are pretty awesome, it's a bummer that not all display right now. Either way, thanks for the edits. MusicLover650 (talk) 05:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Also, I noticed you seem to have an obsession with rock music - you are aware that it's possible to upload <30 second clips of audio to Wikipedia pages, right? You just throw an mp3 file into Audacity, find the segment you want, add a quick fade in and fade out, and export as ogg. The big breakout bands generally already have clips, but a lot of important underground bands are left out right now. Thought you might be interested in helping out that way. MusicLover650 (talk) 05:14, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Latest contribution to Isis page

Regarding this contribution – awesome. Really very cool indeed. I might mine that document for some further Isis bits and pieces as well as Cult of Luna, which it covers very nicely indeed. Could you tell me any more about how you found it, etc? I'll look at tidying it up with a {{cite journal}} once I can establish a little more context, if that's fine by you. Nice one, regardless. Great research. Seegoon (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

For me there's no problem, so go ahead. And since you ask, I found it the last time I read the post-metal article. I also used it in this contribution to the nu metal article and I think it could be used in the metalcore article. Nite-Sirk (talk) 02:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Also, this paragraph could be worked in the post-metal article:

"Other hybrid genres have also shown tendencies to expanding and exploring metal lyricism. One of those genres, called sludge metal or simply sludge, a bastard child of stoner rock and doom metal, has brought forth a number of eclectic underground bands who have pushed the boundaries of what can be defined as metal, on the sonic, idiomatical and lyrical level. The first of these bands was Neurosis, whose progression to a more melodic, ambient style, combined with influences from post rock (or ambient rock) such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai, has created a new genre which is often referred to as atmospheric sludge, art metal or 'post metal', as well as a variety of other monikers. Defining this new current in the metal underground is very difficult, as it is composed of artists from various other subgenres, who each bring their own influences into the genre. Examples of these bands are Isis (as well as its related projects Old Man Gloom, and to a certain degree Red Sparowes and Windmills by the Ocean), Jesu (founded by former members of industrial metal band Godflesh), Cult of Luna, Mouth of the Architect, Pelican, Russian Circles, Minsk, and recent projects such as Battle Of Mice and A Storm Of Light. These bands have all shown tendencies to renew interpretation of metal’s thematical pool, as well as go beyond it, amongst others by borrowing from literature and history and by purposefully being vague and unrevealing about the meaning and interpretation of their lyrics. Some of these bands (Pelican, Russian Circles, Red Sparowes) are instrumental bands, creating an atmosphere and a lyricism based solely on album- and songtitles, and artwork – which sometimes contains text or textual references."

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Southern rock, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bluegrass (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Piped links

Hey, as far as I can tell there's no guideline for whether or not piped links should or shouldn't be capitalized, but in my experience capitalization is overwhelming frequent, and as grunge has been using capitalized piped links consistently for ages, it's sensible to keep it that way, similar to the rationale behind WP:CITEVAR, in that if there's an already-established system, it's best to adhere to it. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:06, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Poker Face

Please refrain from changing music genres, as you did to "Poker Face", without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive and you may be blocked. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.107.194 (talk) 18:00, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I removed because it had a citation needed tag, but I re-added it to the article and sourced both genres. Here is the revision and here are the sources for electropop and for dance-pop. Nite-Sirk (talk) 20:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted you because changing talk pages can misrepresent the original comments. Thank you and good luck.Curb Chain (talk) 20:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Recent edits to Linkin Park pages

Recently, you've been reverting edits that have changed Minutes to Midnight to Minutes To Midnight. The reason it has been changed so that "to" is capitalized is because in the book that comes with the album, it is written as Minutes To Midnight with the "t" of "to" being capitalized. If you have a problem with this, please let me know why you think the "t" should not be capitalized. Thanks. JDC808 (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I have reverted your edits; please see WP:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Composition titles where it says that prepositions containing four letters or fewer are not capitalized, including of, to, in, for, on & with. Nite-Sirk (talk) 02:53, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Discussion input request

Hi,

Last month I moved the list of experimental metal artists to its own list. Some of the entries have been challenged, and the discussion has stalled, as only me and the challenging editor have commented. I really don't care if the entries stay or are removed, I just want to get some third opinions. Check the talk page for the discussion.
