Hello L1A1 FAL, I've seen your helpful name around the same articles I watch and just saw this on my watch list, obviously I didn't know your were building such pages and now I am wondering your thoughts to my question and the reply here ? Mlpearc (powwow) 02:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited List of cover versions of Led Zeppelin songs, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Over the Hills and Far Away and Tierra Santa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Due to the constant reverting of the genre on the Megadeth Risk album page, can you please refer to the articles talk page where we can discuss the issue at hand.

From Wikipedia's guidelines, For example: the statement: "Paris is the capital of France" needs no source, because no one is likely to object to it and we know that sources exist for it, plus it is common knowledge. The statement is attributable, even if not attributed.
Despite the independantly measurable improvements in the economy, Harding remains ranked amongst the worst presidents in history by some people. It has been suggested that his presidency provides clear evidence of villification of truly democratic economic conservatives. Politicians may protect campaign contributers, friends who are government employees, other business relationships, other interests, and their political careers, through villification of democratic economic conservatives. Slander will then spread through a society. Economic success is one of the key interests of democratic voters. The seemingly inexplicable occurance of both a clearly successful economic policy, and an exceptionally poor ranking, is not necessarily unexplainable.
Don't worry I can find references from people who agree. Yeesh. Are you actually policing to ensure that this information needs an independant reference? Clearly it's in extremely poor taste to censor it. Paris is the capital of France dude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.210.248.223 (talk) 22:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
I'll clean up the english and find some references. Excessive expenditures are often undemocratic, voters often want less of their money spent.
I'm half joking about Paris being the capital of France. The inexplicable coincidence has been noted by others besides myself. It's hard not to be opinionated given some of the coincidences I've noted. This subject matter really needs a detailed statistical study to elucidate the pattern of behavior.

"L1A1 FAL",
Spending a disproportionate amount of time on Wikipedia does not endow one with proper critical thinking skills. You might understand how to execute on technical aspects and will surely accumulate approval and accolades from many editors in similar predicaments but it doesn't resolve other problems.
I'm very concerned with your edits. They are saturated with opinion - as someone mentions on your own talk page. You keep stating that you only infuse what you do into an article where a source is lacking, however what you do is replace innocuous elements in the general discourse of the article with your opinion.
One huge concern I have is you don't seem to understand what the word "genre" means:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/genre
Your edits, based on a really misguided understanding of what the word means are a huge concern. There are some editors here who are a bit more seasoned and knowledgeable. You may want to watch how quickly you jump the gun to edit articles. I think you need to spend more time writing (it will certainly help you polish up on vocabulary) than editing others' hard work out. You certainly demonstrate talent - particularly in investing time here... but you need a bit more polish in your language skills.

...for catching the 300SL! Writegeist (talk) 03:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
You have deleted my change based on my being "non-neutral". However the original version of the entry is itself non-neutral. It's said "...The Turkish F-16 aircraft crashed into the Greek F-16 aircraft..." This is not true as explained by the statement of the Turkish Ministry of External Affairs I have given as a reference which states "..a Greek F-16 aircraft crashed into a Turkish F-16 aircraft from the rear bottom..." and this is clealy a different story. I have seen video footage captured by the wingman of the crashed F-16, before the pilot ejects, showing clearly the damage UNDER the plane (i.e. it was crashed into by the Greek plane rather than crashed into the Greek plane). Unfortunately I cannot receive permission to add this footage. Nevertheless, the current version is still not true according my explanation below :
There are 2 given references for the case : One is that of a Greek newspaper article (which is not available on line !!!) and the other is that of the Turkish Ministry. What's cited in the former reference is not known but the latter source clearly cites that "..Greek F-16 aircraft crashed into a Turkish .F-16 aircraft from the rear bottom...". Based on these sources, one of which is not available; -How can you say that the current version is true ? -How can you be sure this (unavailable source's depiction of the story) is true and is a neutral point of view ? -How can the current version be phrased saying "...The Turkish F-16 aircraft crashed into the Greek F-16 aircraft..." without reliable and neutral sources ?
I have cited from an available source and made a revision accordingly. If you cannot provide a reliable and neutral source (which should be available to us all) for the existing version, then you have to undo the change you have done. Otherwise, what you have done would not be a neutral action I believe.
I have acted in good faith and tried to correct a mistake but I have been alleged to be not neutral which I do not accept at all. Please kindly refer to my objections and make necessary changes accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by THEWISEOLDTURK (talk • contribs) 01:10, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
All right; I might have added a view which to some may be biased. However, the previous version was definitely biased and citing no reliable, neutral, and available references and needed to be edited anyway. Therefore, in order to eliminate this mistake without causing further conflict, I have re-edited the whole sub-entry deleting the "who is to blame?" part; although this new version does not tell the whole story, no one can suggest it to being biased in anyway. In the meantime, I'll try to get hold of written permission/approval for the video footage I had mentioned about; if and when I can get it, I'll upload it and add a reference link to the entry accordingly.

A tag has been placed on File:Rhodesiacamo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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. Stefan2 (talk) 08:47, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

What's the difference between thrash and speed metal? I've read on the debut albums by Metallica and Megadeth that they are thrash and speed the same time. But what's more interesting to me is the introduction speech by Flee, when Metallica entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he classified the band's music in the thrash/speed metal genre. With that in mind, I think the first 4 Megadeth albums should be named as speed/thrash because of their similar sound, and also Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets as thrash/speed, maybe because there are slower songs compared to Kill 'Em All.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 06:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Long time no see! Since the process takes forever, and both articles were fairly short, I reviewed both The System Has Failed and The World Needs a Hero and had some quick concerns for both. Both can be passed if they're fixed. If you have any concerns with my review or think anything was unreasonable or questionable, or need any assistance making any changes, let me know. Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Good to hear. I actually do own the book so if you're interested in working on further Megadeth articles, let me know. You would be surprised how much content you can squeeze from just a few sources; both Fantastic Wounds and Abominations (album) are about as obscure as metal albums get, but I managed to get alot of content from the few reviews I had. Anyway, I think I'm going to work on Rust in Peace since it's still in pretty good condition since from when I worked on it last year. Bruce Campbell (talk) 02:21, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
I have removed your CSD A7 tag on United Forces because "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." (CSD A7) At the time of tagging the article, four references were on the page. Thus, the page did not qualify for A7. If you think it is needed, you may propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion. :) -- Cheers, Riley 14:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi L1A1 FAL. I saw you undid a contribution I made to the Gulf War page. I'm new to wikipedia, at least as an editor/contributor. Of course, I've been using wikipedia for a long time as a work of reference. I am curious to knwo why you did this. Believe me, I respect your decision, but I still don't understand. You say I use POV language. I looked that up: where exactly do you find I use POV language in stead of NPOV? The text I use is a quotation from a book that was the basis for an indictment of President George H.W. Bush and others in the U.S. Government for war crimes on 19 different charges. The International War Crimes Tribunal in New York, concluded on February 29th 1992: "The members of the International War Crimes Tribunal finds each of the named accused Guilty on the basis of the evidence against them and that each of the nineteen crimes alleged in the Initial Complaint, attached hereto, has been established to have been committed beyond a reasonable doubt." To me, that is quite sound evidence. Can you please let me know what I should change to my contribution, in your opinion, to make it according to NPOV?
On the Megadeth page, I have set up links that directly come from the Megadeth site itself. It is, bar none, the best proof available to anyone looking for knowledge about the band. It is stated there that Cryptic Writings scored Platinum status in 1998, and the Risk album became Gold the year of its release. What comes from the band itself is genuine fact, and nothing can prove otherwise. In the Megadeth documentary as well, it states that CW went Platinum and Risk went Gold. Look it up for yourself; it's on youtube.
As for the amount of albums sold, Megadeth's facebook is monitored by admins, not the band themselves. They take their information directly from this site, Wikipedia. I have proof of this, as I am the original one to have posted that they had sold 38 million albums worldwide. After doing further research, I found that they had sold 40 million. And just last month I discovered their actual number is above 50 million due to a video about them vs. Metallica on youtube. The video provided factual evidence supporting their theories, including the albums sales numbers given. With all due respect, please correct your mistakes, and do not remove my post from their page again. I support all of my findings with evidence that isn't Facebook nonsense, and I don't spend hours doing so only to have it ruined by someone who doesn't do their research. Thank you, and have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebuffguy (talk • contribs) 11:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, This account was created with the specific intent of adding information gathered from our interviews and posting our reviews. There is absolutely no promotion of our website other than the name (we haven't even created a page for the site!). We are a legitimate magazine that deals with every major record label in the world and regularly conduct interviews with some of the biggest names in the genre. To remove the review exclusively because it was posted by ourselves is ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MetalBlastZine (talk • contribs) 18:14, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
So why do they not need to be collapsed? I've seen a fair few articles with collapsible bonus track listings (whether it's just the one track or many in the case of Youthanasia), and it always seemed like good practice to me—keeps things neat and tidy, with less scrolling. I take it you disagree with said practice? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:53, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
On this edit, an IP added two unsourced genres and therefore I reverted the edit. Even if you don't see a consensus for the genre, since the genre wasn't debated, still, the IP didn't add a discussion to the talk page or add sources thus made it disruptive. For a long long time the genre on that page said simply heavy metal, therefore a source should be provided and also no discussion = no change. That's why I reverted the edit, although wiki had two sources that reviews the album the song was on, so I added those sources, and they describes the song as heavy metal. Also sorry about the "consensus" thing I was mistaken about, but I just reverted unsourced genres. It's not like its okay for me to go to a megadeth page and call them punk rock or death metal without a source. But these sources pretty much describe it as a metal song. Also glam isn't the only genre unsourced, hard rock was as well 70.192.201.87 (talk) 18:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey man, just wanted to tell you that I've started an article on Geoff Tate's next studio album, due to the many comments he's made about that in recent interviews that I couldn't fit into the Frequency Unknown article. I gladly invite you to contribute to it any time you like. It might also not be long before such an article needs to be started on the version of Queensrÿche with La Torre; would it be a problem for you if I started that one under my account once I have a need for it? Oh also, Queensrÿche (album) is shaping up nicely. I have yet to write the reviews section, but hope to get that bit done soon as well. Any suggestions what else is needed if we're aiming for GA? --Eddyspeeder (talk) 20:09, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey pal, great to see you're almost done with the Slayer article. Anyway, I wanted to ask if you can remove the "Metal Review" recension from the album's page. That change will drag some prose tweaking, and since you've promoted the article to GA, I think you can handle it better than me. If you want to fulfill the 10 reviews limit, I found Blistering and Metal Storm to incorporate (not sure about the second). By the way, I did some minor crafts, just to maintain the GA level.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 20:22, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
