Talk:Voivod (band)

Away talks about the meaning of Voivod

There is a good interview/article at Indie InTune. In it Michel Langevin discusses the origins of the Voivod name and some of his artistic concepts. Could be integrated into the main article. Agentrickard 20:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Discography

Quick question: in creating Category:Voivod albums, I've noted that Voivod is described as album #12, but the very next one in the list, Katorz, is described as album #14 (which, with that title, it would more or less have to be). There are also only 13 albums listed in the discography; Katorz is the 13^th. So I'm compelled to ask: are we missing an album somewhere in the discography list? Bearcat 08:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

VoiVod seem to count their official publications, including the DVD D-V-O-D-1, not only their studio albums. madmactheriddler 10:16, 20 June 2007

I couldn't find any review site mentioning avant-garde metal, so I've removed it. Thrash metal and progressive metal are the most common ones, and can stay. Emmaneul ^(Talk) 23:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

So what's up with the genre separators? Comma or line-break? This is a silly edit war. Hondo77 (talk) 23:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

and it has been for a long time. The majority consensus throughout Wiki is to use sentence structure lists over broken lists simply because it shortens the box length (always a bone of contention) but there is a very vocal minority of about 5 editors who find there way around it and keep the crufty coded lists. One common sense resolution was proposed by a very brilliant editor which stated that the line breaks were OK if there were only 2 genres in place but when there were 3 or more then the sentence structure should be used as the cleaner format. It was a brilliant idea applauded by many. But the vocal minority who wanted the "my way or the highway" option ignored it. So they get their panties in a bunch when they see the plan being used because they think it wasn't agreed upon. In a way it wasn't. No one ever finalised the conversation. They just went ahead with the plan because they were tired of dead-end conversations with the same 4 or 5 whiny babies who kept the whole stupid debate going in the first place. But the idea works for many and so the many win in the end regardless of the vocal minority. Libs (talk) 00:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

One, there is majority consensus on line breaks or commas in the genre box on wikipedia. Most tend to use line breaks, but very many editors have been going around and changing the line breaks to commas, which starting the debate. Most of these editors exist for the sole perpose of changing line breaks to commas, and never listen to anyone telling them differnet. As anyone can see, this editor is very biased and appartenly has not read WP:CIVIL in a while. As the only the people who want this to stay are Ips who only edit delimeters, and therefore be disregarded, and Wiki libs, I fell the page should be changed back to it's original form. Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 01:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Looking through the different anons who have edited this page and established a consensus for format... not one of them were "delimiter only editors". They were all very constructive editors. As for the "therefore be disregarded" comment... Wikipedia is the encyclopedia "anyone can edit". "Anyone" can be an IP anon. And the edits of an anon are no less important than the edits of a logged account. Perhaps we can discuss this more when you return. Libs (talk) 10:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The problem is not that these editors are IPs. I agree that an Ip can be asss effective as an editor as someone with an account. The point is that these IP/Ip are cleary biased and are olny interstested in forwarding thier agenda. If you notice said Ip who was editing this page has stopped. Plus I have a good reason to suspest that the edits made to this page was not made by multipule Ips, but one dynamic IP user. This is excluding 82.69.65.99. If you notice none of these users asked abour change delimeters on the talk page, as they should have. In fact, they showed a disregard for many key wikipedia policies.Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 20:01, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

pronuciation

its pronounced voy-vod right?

Yes, try listening to their self-titled song he says "voy-vod!!!" at the very start. --CircafuciX (talk) 04:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Line-Up Section

This section is really, really hard to read, and it has way too much redundancy. It should either be converted into a bar graph table or a more regular line-up listing only the names (once, not repeatedly) and the years the member was active. Κεραυνοσκώπηα (talk) 02:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
