Leave genres alone

edit

It's clear from your username that your MAIN interest is metal, and from your posts that you consider yourself somewhat of an expert in classification. Here's the problem.

The kind of edits you're making aren't ones that wikipedia wants. You're not sourcing anything. Deleting all of a band's genres (along with links to the actual, paid music critics that said them) and replacing them with what YOU think the band is (no matter HOW SURE you are) is called Original Research, and isn't allowed in any form on Wikipedia. Like, really, not at all.

So please, if you don't have a reliable source (ie not yourself) for your genre information, don't add it.

Oh, and this goes as well even if the article DOESN'T HAVE SOURCES FOR THE GENRES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. Really, if they've been stable without sources, that just means the other habitual editors of the article have reached an agreement.

To be honest, this information should be made more clear to new editors. I'm aware that the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia can be somewhat obtuse if you don't know where to look. --King Öomie 14:17, 9 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Xasthur - Portal of sorrow.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 15:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
