| You appear to have recently been editing a significant number of the rock and metal genre articles. The immediate thing that is apparent is that you have yet to provide a source for any of your edits. Could you please refrain from editing these articles, which can be contentious at the best of times, based on your ], but restrict them to ] information that you can back up with ]. Thank you. Also, it would be helpful if you could create a username, so we can track who is making which particular edits. Thanks again, ] (]) 18:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC) | |||

| ] Hello and ]. When you add content to ] and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to ]. There are two ways to do this. Either: | |||
| # Add four ]s ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or | |||
| # With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (] or ]) located above the edit window. | |||

| Please stop removing bands which have sources validating their inclusion cited. In order to maintain a ], Misplaced Pages disallows any ], which means your evaluation of the band does not count as much as sources that call them viking metal. ], not objectivity or truth, takes precedence on Misplaced Pages (because people disagree on objectivity and truth). | |||
| But here's what you ''can'' do: challenge the reliability of the sources or provide evidence that those sources represented here are an extreme minority. The biggest problem about your approach is you're just ''doing it'' -- removing them, leaving no room for questions or discussion. Since Misplaced Pages operates according to ] first and foremost, you'll have a hard time getting anyone to take the merit of your arguments seriously by doing that in the face of cited sources (see ]). Regardless of which path you choose, I would recommend opening a discussion on the article's talk page here: ]. As more of a Wikipedian than metal fan, my only concern is that sources verify arguments and consensus supports major changes (i.e. I wouldn't be involved in the talk page discussion unless it had to do with these issues -- I don't have a dog in the viking metal or not fight). --— <tt>] <sup style="font-size:80%;">]</sup></tt> \\ 15:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
