SALES ARE NOT ACCURATE?

99x platinum? Impossible. Someone find the real stats. 128.205.145.159 20:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a saner note it says that Vol 3 is 3x platinum, which is contradicted by the RIAA database. I fixed the problem. --220.245.67.7 10:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Platinum and Gold status is for the amount shipped, not sold. Inhumer (talk) 16:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The debut album is 2x platinum, and Vol. 3 is 3x platinum

Anders Era Songs

I think we should include songs Anders wrote before he left the band. Titles like Windows, Heartache And A Pair Of Scissors, and May 17th. Just a suggestion.

This is a discography, as those songs were never singles, they shouldn't be included. Blackngold29 (talk) 23:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal Of Crowz

I have removed the Crowz from the discography as there was never an album released and to quote Mick Thomson, "There is no record called Crowz".[1] (Rezter 00:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Songs appearing in popular culture

"The Blister Exists" never appeared in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The game featured only 2 Godsmack songs and thats it. I Stand Alone (instrumental) & Straight Out of Line in credtis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.196.61.194 (talk) 11:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Slipknot logo.svg

Image:Slipknot logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Singles: What about "Before I Forget" and "The Nameless?"

Weren't these released as singles, too? At least "Before I Forget," the rock radio station in Atlanta plays it constantly, so I always thought it was a single. Dark Executioner (talk) 12:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Before I Forget" was only released on a promo CD for radio play and 2 individual 7" singles, I have the 2 7" singles and have seen the promo CD on eBay multiple times. "The Nameless" was only released on a promo CD for radio play too, I bought this off eBay as well. So yeah according to Single (music) they are both classed as singles on the terms they have videos and radio play to help promote the songs singularly.

POV?

"Their second album Iowa was released in 2001, it is a heavier album than their debut."

this looks like blatant POV, doesnt it?the juggreserection ^IstKrieg! 14:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I agree, the lead-in still needs refining. Rezter ^TALK 15:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I wrote that, I was just trying to think of stuff to write, I must of been tired. I'll get if fixed. Blackngold29 (talk) 15:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disasterpiece live b-side...

In the B-Side section a live version of Disasaterpiece is listed as being on the Duality single, is this the same version that was released on the Special Edition of Vol. 3? It would make sense as the rest of the B-sides from Duality and Vermilion were also on the Specail edition second disc. I can't confirm this becuase I don't have the Duality single. Thanks!

MFKR move

I have moved MFKR down from studio albums Other Releases... I know there was large debate over were it should be but to fall in touch with all other articles and templates like Slipknot (band) and {{Slipknot}} I feel it should be seperate... it didn't chart and didn't receive any certifications so I don't believe it belongs in that table, plus it was decided it was demo-album so I believe it should be seperate to avoid confusion. REZTER ^TALK ø 11:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean with that? Do you want to bring up the discussion again?-- LYKANTROP ✉ 12:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aww man, are you really gonna make this a big deal again? It's just confusing for everywhere else to not list it in the same area as the studio albums then for to come over to the discography and it's listed in the same table as their studio albums... it appears as if MFKR is the same and it isn't... there was only 1000, it didn't chart and it's not available, we decided it was a demo.. a "full length demo-album" yes but a demo all the same. The MFKR article is very comprehensive now and if anybody wants to learn more about it they will learn all they need to know there and they will see the difference between Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat., Slipknot Demo and their Studio Albums and to then list it in the same section as the studio albums is just confusing. REZTER ^TALK ø 12:33, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believed that you are one of the honest editors, but I am disappointed. Anyway, you are a lucky boy these days, because I am not interested in Slipknot-related articles. Thus I won't argue with you, so you can feel free to break here the policy of Wikipedia as you like it and as you do it. Good luck! :) -- LYKANTROP ✉ 16:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The most important thing that came out of that discussion, was that the footnote was added. The footnote is still there, although one of them is listed as the MFKR official website, which is NOT a reliable source (never has been, this is generally agreed upon), although it links to this page which is completely different, so I dunno. As long as the footnote remains, there is no "policy" being broken whatsoever. Black ngold29 16:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
