• Uh, may I ask why virtually your first edit was the nomination of an established article for deletion? Your knowledge of this site and its terminology leads me to believe you may be trying to avoid a block with this account. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:12, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blackened death metal

Hi Dude. Just to let you know, categories can't actually be deleted through AfD, even in a bundling—you need to go to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion for that. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

And I happen to owe you a fourteen-karat engraved apology. Thanks for remaining cool in the face of being accused of sockpuppeteering. Regards, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of gothic rock bands. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Kesac (talk) 22:58, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Lists

Lists like List of black metal bands and List of gothic rock bands do no need sources and are not OR. Before you tag an article, especially a list, just look at the infobox on the artist in the list. Undeath (talk) 02:25, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

You...

...must really be bored. --Ada Kataki (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Stop your nonsense edits. They're contraproductive. --Ada Kataki (talk) 19:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you know what a book is? B.O.O.K., book. Can you read it? No? Go to the doctor. --Ada Kataki (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

STOP IT

Stop adding the tags on the page of the list of gothic rock bands because noboby wanted them before and nobody wants them now. All you are doing is causing an edit war so knock it off. Thanks.Crescentia (talk) 20:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 21:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

GOTH ROCK

You honestly do not have a clue when it comes to editing that article. It is common knowledge that gothic rock came directly from punk rock/post punk. It is beyond ridiclous that you want to exclude it because you want a refernce for it. At this point I beleive that you are just trying to stir up the pot. If you try to mess up that article again I guarantee that you will be involved in yet another edit war, be it with me or yet another user. I suggest you back away from the computer and think deeply as to why you keep pressing the issue. Also, using All Music as the only source and deleting other sources is ridiculous.Crescentia (talk) 22:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

List of gothic rock bands

Could you please check the discussion at WP:NORN and make sure my assumptions are correct? Thanks, Ndenison ^talk 17:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

The four book references that I added(the whole books) have been accepted as references for the list. Case in now closed.Crescentia (talk) 23:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding those tags, the issue has already been resolved.Crescentia (talk) 01:22, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

The issue is not resolved for you? Who do you think you are? Seriously, you told ME that I wasn't following the rules? KNOCK IT OFF.Crescentia (talk) 01:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay...I get it...you just want things your way and don't want to talk AT ALL. Nice.Crescentia (talk) 02:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Gangsta rap#Notable_Artists

I notice you reverted my change as "vandalism". Care to talk about it on the article's discussion page where I proposed this change two days ago? / edg ☺ ☭ 13:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Hardcore hip hop

If you don't think this article should stand on its own, please take it to WP:AfD for greater input instead of redirecting. The term is certainly not synonymous with gangsta rap. Spellcast (talk) 23:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Again, if you don't think it deserves an article, take it to Afd or discuss it at Talk:Hardcore hip hop#Redirect. The sourced article has been around since 2003 and three editors have reverted the redirect (with no-one else showing support for it). Also, using multiple IPs to WP:SOCK and revert without discussion is blockable, so none of that please. Thanks, Spellcast (talk) 01:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
