Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Notice
[edit]Listen; I don't care if it's actually building upon improvement for the article, but your edits that are adding non-encyclopedic content as well as changing "rock" to "metal" in which describe Avenged Sevenfold that have alrady reached its consensus in the Avenged Sevenfold talk page are not helping and are disruptive changes. — So yeah, your edits are not only not adhearing to a neutral point of view but are also containing not encyclopedic information that I've already informed you upon — if you don't stop I'm affraid I'm going to have to start giving you warnings which will eventually lead to you being blocked as that would be the only way to end your edit warring and other disruptions. • GunMetal Angel 22:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hey there. GMA asked me to weigh in here, as a long-time editor and administrator here. As he says above, the important thing about editing Wikipedia is that your edits must conform to our policies and guidelines. This is an encyclopedia, not a class webpage; all of the edits made here are made by people who must recognize that their work could (and likely will) be edited by someone else afterwards. Please be sure that you read and understand all of the guidelines listed above and in the welcome message you were given before continuing to edit - and you might want to have your teacher look them over as well, as he/she may not understand how Wikipedia works either.

Well, as far as bringing my professor into this, he has been assigning these projects for a few years now. And how is "rock" a consensus when if you look at their actual CDs imported in iTunes, the genre is metal? If you want to keep that, fine. However, I am adding the endorsement by DW, the tribute album that A7X is working on for him, the award won in 2006, as well as some other information. If you don't like the language I use, then change a word or two, but if I add referenced information, I believe that information should remain and everyone wanting to make changes should read what I change and what I add, and then edit knowing what I have changed. Thank you for making me aware of the guidelines, but I am adding valuable information. Whether my language usage is correct or not is up to you. But why would you remove sourced information so that the page is incomplete? That, and in reverting the page back to what it was before I edited, is making the reference list on the bottom incomplete. Certain information that was kept in that I added is now not named as a reference at the bottom of the page.
- I don't know the genre of the band, but one man's rock is another's metal and vice-versa. If you can cite iTunes, you have a case to indicate that a source that meets WP:V feels that way. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, your the first person who actually understands and is speaking to me in a respectful way. I appreciate your advice.
