A Day to Remember

I hate that band, but dude, how was I vandalizing it by putting 'easycore'? That's what they are, a mixture of pop punk and metalcore. You told me I vandalized the article when all I did was put what it actually is. Just because you don't think it's a genre doesn't mean it isn't one. Don't be a dick. AtheistFish

For one, there is a clear hidden message on the edit mode screen saying not to add genres. It doesn't matter what you think or what you presume upon what genre means what or what musical style matches up to a musical group; everything on the article was sourced and you adding that to the genres was considered vandalism, you shouldv'e payed attention to the warning. You brought it all upon yourself and if you continue to do it you may be blocked without further warning. As for two; don't call me a dick, or else that's generally reflecting your statement upon yourself. • GunMetal Angel 00:37, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

No offense taken

About that thing I posted on the Despised Icon page, how could I have better phrased that exactly? I do know from their press statement that they said they would be touring before splitting up. Or is the introductory passage fine as it is? Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 03:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Generally, I'd say what's in the lead it's fine as it is. I mean it's saying that the band generally announced that they will be disbanding as a direct quote. When they posted their news that they had the decision to disband, they didn't exactly state "after several tours." And even on the contrary; it's not saying the band has disbanded yet. However, I would suggest making a statement for their upcoming tours before their disbandment on the body of the article because it deserves to be stated as to leading-up before the big split-up of DI we mourn, so long! • GunMetal Angel 04:33, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

That makes good sense. Before I saw your response, I was thinking as well that maybe there should be more information released regarding the tours before posting more info about it. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 20:31, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Saw line breaks

Where does it say that line breaks aren't to be used in the infobox? It has been like this forever. Has it changed? Also I've never seen commas being used. Mike Allen 22:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually per the infobox template it says to use <br /> (line breaks). Where have you seen commas being used for this purpose? Thanks. Mike Allen 22:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Well per WP:ALBUM it states that music articles should have their listing in commas, never breaks. So I assumed it was like that for all of Wikipedia. Nevermind. • GunMetal Angel 00:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Owl City concert tours

Please don't remove the link to the "Owl City concert tours" article from the "Owl City" article.

I spent hours to build this "Owl City concert tours" article, which is useful for any people curious about the dates & locations of the Owl City tours and the links to the Owl City live videos available in YouTube.

The Dream (In This Moment album)

Why are you removing links to The Dream (In This Moment album)?--ShelfSkewed Talk 19:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

My mistake, I thought that TW feature did something different, looks like I've got some reverting to do. Also; I apologize. -- GunMetal Angel 20:40, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Happy editing! --ShelfSkewed Talk 21:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

What...

...Was that about? I can take Twinkle off you as well as rollback, but you seem hell bent on getting yourself blocked. Disengage, go somewhere else, do something else, but please, let this drop. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:52, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

He threatened to report me and called my edits "vandalism" when they clearly were not, wrote "laughable" in an edit sumary in response to a talk page comment of mine as well as other things and I took it offensively. That was the last thing I would ever have anything to do with that user again and I was intending on letting all of this drop after I can somehow show that he seriously was not polite at all. Was it wrong to do that? • GunMetal Angel 10:56, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

What did you hope to achieve by templating an editor with whom you've just had a dispute? The best case scenario is he comes and tells the admin who just dealt with the dispute, which he did, the worst is that it only serves to provoke him. Please don't make me block you- disengage from this. I've also revoked your access to Twinkle for the time being since that was obviously not a constructive use (nor was using it to blank your talk page, but policy gives you more leeway on your own talk apge). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to let him know that it was clearly not nice what he said. And I already noticed you did, but aparently I can't have anything to say against anything because no matter what I'm always apparently wrong. -_- — are you sure you want to do this? I need Twinkle and rollback. • GunMetal Angel 11:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Why couldn't you just disengage? "That wasn't a very nice thing to say" is not helpful, especially when it comes in the form of a template that an established editor would find patronising. If you promise to move on, I'll consider restoring your access to Twinkle but I need some fresh air first. I'm sorry our first interaction has been like this, I'm not normally like this, but you're not making things easy. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I found it patronizing when he called my edits to page vandalism. I don't ever cause problems, but generally at first I never found a problem with any of things I did to begin with. Rollbacking edits on the article that removed content, I didn't think was a problem. Sending a template on an editor's talk page that was in response to subjects that I found offensively, I also didn't think was a problem. - But now I guess I see that they are and all I can really say is sorry. • GunMetal Angel 11:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The problem was that you were edit warring to force your preferred version- we have talk pages for exactly that reason- to has out disagreements and make positive suggestions. As for rollback, as you've been told, it should only be used for blatant vandalism. You weren't the only one in the wrong, but you were in the wrong. I'll be offline for the next hour, but,as promised, I'll take another look at your Twinkle rights when I get back. You're welcome to email me if you want to chat privately. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

You're a good guy and I respect that, but I never want to be looked at as the bad guy. I wasn't completely aware that rollback should strictly be used for vandalism but now I know. And as for the edit war, well stuff just happens and it happens with eveyone. I hope you'll have faith in me at some point, I've been a contributor to this website for quite some time and have completed quite a few achievements that I'm proud of (see my user page if you're interested). But you'll need to understand that these types of conflicts almost never happen with me, this one however is a terrible slip I've made my way into and I'm really sorry it all happened. • GunMetal Angel 11:39, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The strangest thing is, I believe you. I'll take you at your word not knowing about rollback, and as for the edit war, we've all been in similar situations (including myself) but there comes a time when we need to realise either "oh shit, I've just made three reverts" or "this isn't benefiting anyone, time to let it go". Anyway, I've restored your Twinkle access. As for rollback, keep your head down for a week and I'll probably give it you back. Now, I suggest you find something not Lady Gaga-related to edit for a while :). Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
