Removing inactive members from the list

Hello everyone. I want to make a proposal to remove the members who haven't been active at all in the past 3 years or more. This is to check how much active members we currently have. While going through the list (as I wanted to find a partner for collaboration on Anthrax), I've noticed that quite a few of the ones listed barely have edited Wikipedia, and haven't even touched an article related to heavy metal music. So what do the others think? If you have a better suggestion, please post it.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 12:24, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Mudvayne

There's been an IP (192.42.92.110) making changes to the Mudvayne related pages for a while now, and so far nobody with any experience has stepped in. I request someone to take take of this. The user is trying to claim that Mudvayne should only be listed as progressive metal and nothing else, despite there being reliable sources saying otherwise. He keeps using the same three sources for every Mudvayne related page, no matter how relevant it may be (and he doesn't even bother to fix his two broken links). Despite taking it to talk and telling him to hold up from making any changes until the argument can be settled, he's not interested in anything but his own view. It should be noted that the user has been banned from TVTropes twice for the same sort of edit-warring. I've taken it to the admin noticeboard, but it's been nothing but a waste of time.
