Alejandro García (producer)

IMO it still qualifies as a hoax — there may exist a guitarist/producer with that name, but in its current state, the article contains absolutely zero accurate information. Is that not a hoax? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:57, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

• If you find info on the Alejandro Garcia listed in Allmusic, go for it. I'm fluent in Spanish and could find nothing on a guitarist/producer by that name at all. Even if there is a real person by that name, an article composed entirely of misinformation is still a hoax. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:58, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Deprodding

Anyone is allowed to deprod an article for whatever poor reason that they don't even have to state. It would however be not so unconstructive if you refrained from deprodding articles that have not a single source reference. __meco (talk) 21:58, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

I have given reasons for any page where they were required (in some cases, you prodded pages that were so far over the bar as to appear to be a parody). The solution for an unreferenced page is not deletion; it is referencing. You were prodding pages at blinding speed (one a minute, at times), which appears to indicate no searching for references on your own (which the deletion process encourages), and in some cases it looks like you weren't even reading the pages, which had references, chart positions, and other clear assertions of WP:MUSIC passing. Look, I don't want to get into a sniping argument (believe me, this is not how I wanted to spend my day), but lack of references is not in and of itself a reason to delete, and I think your (and my) time is more valuably spent in improving articles on Norwegian metal rather than pitching a battle at PROD and AFD.

User:Chubbles/The Myrchents

Hi, are you planning on doing any more work on the above draft? The sources do not appear to meet the standard required by Wikipedia, and I couldn't find any more usable ones. As you said in the draft, The Myrchents were never more than a regional success story - so I would be erring on the side of 'not notable as Wikipedia defines it'.

If you are going to do some more work on it, let me know - otherwise I will consider taking it to Miscellany for deletion as drafts should not exist in perpetuity!

Tasketz Kayo

See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Tasketz Kayo reported by User:Chubbles (Result: Blocked for 1 week). It's been a long time coming, probably because it was not a simple case of the edit warring as such. However, looking at the history I decided that the disruptive IP editing was part of the picture, and taking that into account there were adequate grounds for a block Please feel free to contact me if the problem continues (either after the block expires, or during the block via anon IP edits). JamesBWatson (talk) 08:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for confronting this problem user Chubbles, and it's good to finally see some admin response. The continued removal of your label information in the discographies was totally unjustified, but I suspect that Tasketz Kayo felt that this info would weaken the link between some of the artists and Anticon. Having kept an eye on this user since the start, I have my doubts that this block will do anything but delay the inevitable, but we can hope. memphisto 11:01, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Baths (musician), makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Tasketz Kayo (talk) 16:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 13 & God. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.

Looking at the editing history of Alias (artist), I think you may be right about sockpuppetry, but it's not obvious enough to me on the basis of a quick look to justify blocking.

Speedy deletion nomination of Blood on the Dance Floor (band)

A tag has been placed on Blood on the Dance Floor (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 07:05, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Retracted Speedy Deletion per contest - in reviewing relevant discussions, I believe it's appropriate that the article remains. Cheers! -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 07:44, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Thy Art Is Murder

I don't know if it's salted or not, but could a page be made for the band Thy Art Is Murder? The page has been deleted four times in the course of 2 years, yet they have three releases (2 EPs and one full length), they are signed to Metal Blade Records, they've reached the Billboard 200 and have been played on Triple J (a big named radio station in their country. Maybe you could put together something for this page even if it could just be a stub. 69.225.132.244 (talk) 01:52, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm not seeing a Billboard hit for this band - that would be my easiest case. Do you have a link or the issue of the magazine with the chart placement? Chubbles (talk) 08:25, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Their EP Infinite Death reached the top 10 on the AIR Charts » http://acaciaguitars.com/thy-art-is-murder/ 69.225.140.196 (talk) 20:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

That's much different than cracking the Billboard 200, which is the main American record chart. This is an independent Australian chart, which is much more difficult to work with. I looked at their website, and it looks like they do not publish their historical charts; according to this, you have to contact their records manager to get chart data from more than a year ago. If they don't physically publish their charts or make them available permanently online, it's much harder for me to justify to others that they help the notability case. Have they gotten press in the Australian media? Like, print newspapers and major mainstream Australian music magazines? Chubbles (talk) 00:28, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

They were interviewed by Metal Down Under http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCpLDQ5I0k Kill Your Stereo http://www.killyourstereo.com/artists/thy-art-is-murder/ Loud Magazine http://www.loudmag.com.au/content/thy-art-is-murder-immortal-soldiers-of-death and Rave Magazine http://www.ravemagazine.com.au/content/view/10835/30/ and many others. If this still doesn't do it then I guess a page just can't be made for them I'm assuming. 69.225.140.196 (talk) 06:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I could write an article for them that would stand up to a challenge, based on what I've seen so far. Try again after they've put out another full-length... Chubbles (talk) 08:19, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Wait a sec... do you think a page could be made for this other band; I Declare War? They charted http://www.billboard.com/artist/i-declare-war/chart-history/1074678#/artist/i-declare-war/chart-history/1074678 69.232.180.117 (talk) 19:16, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Maybe. The band's fans made it a lot harder for me by putting up a bunch of bad articles which resulted in my needing to obtain administrator approval to start anything. And this band's borderline - given that the page is already blocked, I usually have a tougher case to make in order to convince them to overturn it, and hitting the Heatseekers chart isn't always enough to do it. Useful things I've found so far are... [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. That could be enough. Chubbles (talk) 02:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jneiro Jarel. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 123.224.224.117 (talk) 02:15, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Raleigh Moncreif

Ref. your comment on my talk page; you are wholly correct in your question regarding the IP who nominated this page for speedy deletion. Perhaps you could tell me how you knew that? Having said that, I have reviewed the page, and I deleted it under speedy category A7. Reviewing the text I think that is valid. The fact that the author of the article, a confirmed sockpuppeteer, is now blocked was not a party to my decision. he did in fact create it before his block, but is is in my view irrelevant as it is speediable intrinsically. I am always open to discussion.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 21:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Criteria at WP:MUSIC do not apply; the only one worth a second look is number 5, which states "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable" and this is not claimed, there being only one record released under an independent label which itself does not satisfy the criterion.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 18:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Wrench in the Works etc.

Hi Chubbles, would you be willing to show me the independent and reliable sources? I'm in favor of keeping these articles if they are notable, but when I compare them with other notable bands their appears to be a huge difference. I assume you know a lot more about notability with respect to these bands than I do, so I would appreciate knowing the criteria you are using. Thanks.--I am One of Many (talk) 22:06, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reply. I did stumble on to Facedown Records, but I noticed that several bands had been deleted at AfD and were recreated. Many of the links were broken and I did Google each band to find some reliable sources, but none popped out. Also, if you look at my PRODS, these were past bands of Facedown Records whose notability is far from obvious. Several in that list have been deleted and several recreated after deleted by AfD. So, I don't think my PRODing these bands was hasty at all. I'm interested in learning about what makes these bands notable. For example, how is Face Down notable? Some of the references don't work in the article, others are first-party sources, and I don't see any reliable third-party sources that are considered reliable by Wikipedia? Again, I hope you understand, I have no agenda here, I'm happy if they are all notable, but I came a across a cluster of bands that didn't appear notable and many haven't appeared that way to others in the past. As you know, I nominated two articles for AfD, which is a process where articles can be deleted or saved depending on consensus, I'll wait and see how those processes turn out.--I am One of Many (talk) 23:14, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

These changes are not for a financial stake we just want to have the correct information available so we can be proud of our wiki page and not embarrassed due to false information. I listed all the correct releases as reflected on itunes but they keep getting reverted. I'm really trying Chubbles, i'm being sincere. Please help us, This doesn't have to be a revert war.

Using VE on The Carolinas

Hi Chubbles,

what happened is that you copied wikitext into VisualEditor. VisualEditor is designed to be used as a rich-text editor (like a word processor) without the use of wikitext. When you type wikitext (like "== Headline ==") into a VisualEditor window, it will assume you're just trying to use those characters (e.g. double equals sign) and wrap them in nowiki.

The behavior we're shooting for is allowing you to copy text as-is (in rich-text mode) and preserving the formatting. This works in some circumstances (e.g. when cutting and pasting in the same document) right now but not in others. For the kind of change you made, it's probably best to use source mode for now.--Eloquence* 08:22, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

While you're right that the article was previously PRODed (a fact I realized only after I did so myself), that discussion was unanimously in favor of deletion, yet no one seems to have acted on it. I'm not that familiar with Wikipedia guidelines yet, so could you perhaps tell me the correct procedure for something like this?--Invisiboy42293 (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dennis Lambert

The article Dennis Lambert has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

George Washington (trombonist)

Hi! I'm having a small issue with this article; as you created it, I figured I should start by asking you (and feel rather foolish for not thinking of it earlier). You indicated that Mr. Washington was deceased at the time the article was created ("George Washington was..."). I didn't know if you unintentionally omitted details about his death or just presumed him to be deceased based on his date of birth. Any help would be appreciated, as there seems to be conflicting information on the Internet regarding this man. I have also discussed this at Talk:George Washington (trombonist) and WP:BLPN. Thanks!

Reply to your reinstating deleted info

Hi Chubbles, Yes I removed content and didn't realize that it needed explanation. If I am not able to delete the information, then I need to delete the entry altogether. You are not the artist who wishes to update to correct information, so why does it matter to you? This is for the individual and updating to accurate information. Please revert it back to the way it was.

I would have preferred that Chubbles not have reverted it. No it does not need to be deleted if my changes can be made. So anyone can go and post what they would like to create an entry and not give an explanation? And if I make changes, it must be explained? Thank you for letting me know.

nashsto— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nashsto (talk • contribs) 07:52, 26 February 2014

It absolutely must be explained in your edit summary, just as any edit you make should be. Once you have posted an article to the mainspace, it is no longer your personal endeavor, and becomes a community effort. What if some other user came along and just blanked half of the article with no explanation? Use a clear edit summary for any changes you make to avoid confusion. —Josh3580_talk/hist 07:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

As the original author of the Bruce Carroll article, I posted it because Carroll meets Wikipedia's requirements for notability at WP:MUSIC. I think it's entirely consistent with - indeed, necessary to - fulfilling Wikipedia's principles for there to be an article on him. As such, I would oppose any effort to delete the article, and believe I could successfully convince the community (easily) that it should not be removed entirely. The article is not in the best shape in terms of reliable sources, but if there are specific concerns about controversial or factually incorrect information in the article, we can certainly do our best to find better third-party referencing; you can tag information you find suspect with a {{fact}} tag. However, blanking portions of the article without explanation is generally considered unhelpful, which is why I undid your edits. Chubbles (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining that. I am not an avid wikipedia contributor, so I apologize for not editing correctly. Thank you for the entry, though it would be good to make edits. I will confirm the corrections from him. The account is desired but with accurate information. And yes, some of it is inaccurate.

Upsilon Acrux

Hi Chubbles. Thank you for starting the article. I supplemented it on March 7 with more information on the band, including first-hand accounts and information not made public via web citation, which would be useful for a user, interested in Upsilon Acrux. I have since read the Wikipedia criteria for content, I have altered my original edits. Nonetheless, you have blocked my IP address from any future edits on the page. I realize the propriety with which you administrate now, and I am attempting to contact you regarding my edits. I have also revised my copy to read less like "ad copy" and "promo puff" with NPOV, and I would like to supplement the page again. I have established a Wiki account in order to be more accountable and follow the rules. Browniemountain (talk) 09:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Okay. The writeups you were posting definitely went beyond what we typically look for in terms of giving subjective positive acclaim to the article's subject. It's fine if you want to add sections on critical reception of the albums, and sources like Pop Matters and Prefix would be good, but it would be better to pull quotes from the articles or paraphrase neutrally about what the reviews discuss (like influences, similar artists/songs, or technique) rather than more generic talk about rave reviews and the like. Discussion of band history should be coming from reputable media outlets unconnected to the band, like magazines, newspapers, and well-regarded online review sites. Thanks for responding.

Speedy deletion nomination of Greyhounds (band)

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 Greyhounds (band), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
• It appears to be about something made up, and 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. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Mr. Guye (talk) 02:32, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This applies to infoboxes, too.

Thanks, and my best wishes.

Hey

Hey Chubbles. I saw your frustrations on the Cash Cash talk page. I'll try to help you with things some, as I agree, the article feels more like its a marketing team doing whatever they want rather than editors following rules and policies. Some ideas:

• Start a list on the talk page - short bullet points of little individual things, that need to be changed. I'll give my input too.
• If they oppose based on non-Wiki reasons, we can ask for more input from relevant Wikiprojects.
• I'm an admin. I can't do too much on that side, since I've involved myself a little bit now, but I can still take action on obvious problems. (Editing against consensus, 3RR, etc.

Anyways, let me know if that's how you'd to do it or not. Sergecross73 msg me 22:42, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. If the DR closes without any further communication, as looks likely, I will probably pursue a different tack - start up a style section, shunt all the genre BS into that, and start calling out folks on policy issues as they begin removing properly referenced material. I've let the article metastasize as far as promotional content simply because I'm tired of fighting and because I thought maybe DR would have more teeth than it does. Chubbles (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, alright then. Let me know if you need help. If you don't actively want my help, I may or may not keep following the article, so I'd need to be pinged or something. Best of luck. Sergecross73 msg me 16:28, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

I do appreciate having another pair of eyes. I wouldn't mind having half a dozen, in fact. I'll make some changes this weekend, and I imagine they won't be well received, so if you keep watch it'd be a great help. Chubbles (talk) 21:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

I have changed the introduction section on this page to include the proper name of his line of adult beverages with an outside link to a page that is not "self-promotion." The MANY jobs and projects he has going on were put back in as I feel they are important facts to this young man's career. I will be updating other sections as I go and hope that you will email me or post any suggestions before any mass edits are made. Please be patient as this page has been largely abandoned for the most part. I am trying to fix it.

Thanks for the response. I can see your point, by this is not from a promotional perspective. I have done a lot of research on him and others in areas of interest. Being that he does do so many things, it is difficult to fit everything in and in the right places on this page. It is a work in progress, the visuals I was adding were for the purposes of providing a visual timeline of this man's endeavors. Wish me luck, and thank you.

Thanks for reverting back to a previous version. As I have mentioned to that person who made such unprofessional remarks, this is a work in progress and I did point out several areas where I believe he was wrong for making the edits he did. I left them on his talk page if you would like to review them, or I can send them to you to see what you think of them. This is not "promotional", the page about this person is missing a lot of information about his career, recognition, projects, etc. I can't update the entire page in one day so I am doing as much as I can when I can. Looking in the history, it looks as if you may have created the original page. Is this so? Maybe we can collaborate on this without further interference from the sailor-mouthed opinions of that other person. Ask Molly (talk) 22:06, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Cash Cash Wikipedia Concerns

Heyy, I just wanted to say thanks so much for hearing my concerns out. I really appreciate it. It would mean a lot if you could give 2point5ken’s idea a chance. It’s definitely reasonable if you think about it. I'm ok with mentioning it because it was said in a review, but it’s not fair that it’s being repeated so many times especially with all the disagreement over it. The truth is, it’s really just someone's opinion and it’s the least accurate one there is. It's nothing against the genre..Straight up, Jimmy eat world is one of my biggest inspirations. I even have one of their lyrics tattooed on my arm…it's just not what Cash Cash was about and that is very confusing for someone to read that many times on our page. I hope you can see that and understand why it shouldn’t be redundant here. Wikipedia is the main place people go to research things and it's very important to us they aren’t confused. Swear to god, I did a professional interview down in AC last month for summer sessions and the interviewer asked “so how did you guys go from being emo writing about sad things to uplifting dance music?” I responded with “let me guess you read our wikipedia page before the interview and never even listed to the old stuff.” lol He laughed saying I guess you can't trust everything you read on the internet. :-/ I then explained our old stuff was actually the opposite but there’s just more important things I should be talking about in interviews than having to explain confusing information read on our page. I know you can admit it's a very misleading style to define our old albums and understand where the concerns are stemming from. Thanks Chubbles.

p.s. even if you aren't a fan of our new direction…Think about the new song we did with Rzeznik. It's an example of us going back to our roots and where we came from. We wanted to take our love for rock music and mix it in with dance music. I saw a lot of stuff on the talk page about you thinking we’re trying to downplay that we were a band. I really care enough that you, the creator of our page, know that’s not true. We started as a group of passionate musicians hustling in the city with backpacks of free demos just trying to get discovered night after night. That’s how it all happened for us and it’s a story we’re proud to share. I stand by every release we ever put out and loved being a band with instruments. That’s a big reason why we made the acoustic video of Take Me Home showing us playing acoustic guitar and piano. Anyways, just wanted you to know. Thanks again for hearing me out man. - JP

Yeah that all makes a lot of sense…Again, I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you hearing me out. I knew you would understand things much better after I fully explained myself. It took me a while to read the whole talk page and respond back and forth because we’ve been touring a lot but I’m glad I found the time. You seem like a smart reasonable person. Thanks again Chubbles. Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JPcashcash (talk • contribs) 20:47, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey Chubbles, I tried to make the edit on the page that combined Salvidrim and your work to compromise but Sergecross won't let it stick unless you make it happen. Can we please agree on this? I'm not removing emopop from the section I'm just consolidating it so it's not overly redundant. Here's the edit so you can see. Thanks.

While playing as The Consequence and early under the name Cash Cash, the group used a more traditional band setup, with use of live guitars, bass guitar, drums, keyboards, vocoders/talk boxes, and electronics, described variously as technopop and electronic pop/rock. Allmusic described the band's first album as "emo-pop [f]illed with...old-school synths, singalong choruses, [and] slick-as-oil vocal harmonies", while PopMatters opined that the group's style "suggest[s] Fall Out Boy with some synthy window dressing." Jean-Paul described the band's early style as an attempt to "Bring back some of that 70s funk guitar, mixed in with the life and fun of the 80s." USA Today, in a later assessment, noted that the group's early work "has always had a dance-music sensibility, but starting out, they were lumped into the alt-rock scene."

Chubbles, it’s not a skeleton in the closest, it’s just a very confusing genre because it makes it seem as if we were emo…When people see emo pop they assume that it means a band that sounds pop but has emo lyrics or sometimes even screaming…We never had any of that so that’s what is misleading about it. I’m personally a huge fan of a lot of emopop bands but want you to understand why the style is super misleading and puts the wrong idea in peoples heads about our early sound. I’m asking nicely if you can just try to understand that side of it and just remove it’s overuse and redundancy to avoid people getting the wrong idea. Please help us out on this man. The admin isn’t respecting anyone except you on this because you have been the driving force for keeping it. It looks like it has to come from you. I don’t know what else to say. I would really appreciate your help here. This band is my sole passion and it hurts to see it being misrepresented.

You're saying things like hiding hysterical records...Nobody is trying to do that man. We're just asking to curb it's redundancy and overuse given how misleading and contradicting the genre is. That is all. There's no skeletons, there's no hiding, there's no scrubbing. I'm being genuine with you Chubbles. I just want you to understand and respect that it's repetition isn't needed and is a problem. That's all i'm asking. To you this might just be a wikipedia article but to us it's our reputation being misrepresented. Please sympathize with us here man. Have it listed there once like the other genres. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JPcashcash (talk • contribs) 05:39, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
