Seriously Strand

Wesker's dead. His head was blown off by two rockets. But you went and cried like a baby and started some stupid edit war on Resident Evil 5. Cognratulations on winning that fight by the way.

By the way, I'm NOT Daymee. You can check my IP address and compare to him if you want. I'm just a fan who believes that Wesker is DEAD.

Have a good life. XD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.45.198 (talk) 13:01, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

A Cheap Name

Sure, if you wanted to give me a couple of songs, I'd give you my word I wouldn't leak them anywhere. I haven't had this much anticipation over an album in I don't even know how long, maybe never. I don't know what it is about Head's music. I'll also look up those three songs on YouTube after posting this. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 01:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh lol, sorry about that. Never mind sharing anymore then, I'll just wait until the album is released. It will be worth it. And don't worry lol, you wont see "Home" on Demonoid or anywhere. At least if you do, just know I'll have nothing to do with it. I'm gonna Save it for Myself, heh. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Sounds pretty good so far. I wish it could be verified that "Home" is the final version of "A Cheap Name" though, that would be totally notable, since " A Cheap Name" was pretty much the first widely known song Head recorded alone, apart from his several mentions of "Kry" during interviews. But I think "A Cheap Name"'s subject made it more popular than "Kry", anyways. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 07:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

From what I've heard so far, it doesn't look like any other It's Time to See Religion Die tracks made the final album. It would be cool if whenever he decides to begin his sophomore solo record, he goes back into the things he did in 2005 and 2006 and releases a revised version of one of those songs, they were also pretty cool. Even "Home" has basically everything "A Cheap Name" had, just with the vocals re-recorded and having a guitar drive the song (especially the chorus), in addition to having more lyrics. It would have been cool to see a complete "Kry". :P Vixen Windstorm (talk) 20:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Well hopefully he doesn't get too ahead of himself with all this planning, and compromise the work. Save Me from Myself is good (apparently) because it took over three years. I've seen countless people's posts over the Internet in disbelief that the album would ever be released. So if the next album took two or three years, I wouldn't mind. I'd just get back into a huge anticipative state (I mean, that's where I am right now because I haven't found the leak and can't buy a copy yet, but once I've heard it there will be nothing to anticipate, only appreciate). Even if the next album was released in 2009, I guess it wouldn't matter. Again, as long as the schedule doesn't compromise his work, then it's cool. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 20:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

That's pretty sweet. With that many recorded, I guess some of them may have been recorded during the Save Me from Myself sessions or something. Or they all could have been done in the months since Save Me from Myself's completion too. It's clear where the nu metal influence on Korn's sound came from, not that this is a nu metal album but that particular sound that appeared in Korn songs appears to be present here, as well. Head left Korn and then from Korn's See You on the Other Side onward, they had what people called an 'experimental' sound, which I don't think was experimental at all, rather just the sort of metal the band could produce without Head as a major contributor to its music. I like Korn though, so I don't mean that in a bad way, that's just my explanation for the sound they took on. Anyways, Korn lost that sound on subsequent records after Head's departure, but Head's album which he composed entirely himself (I'm pretty sure the session musicians only played what he wrote and guided them on), or at least without the members of Korn, five years after his last studio album with the band (counting Take a Look in the Mirror, since the two songs on their greatest hits record were covers) has that sound. Which is where I draw the conclusion that it's clear Head was the nu metal influence on Korn. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 21:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree, Jonathan and Head's solo projects are the best sort of "spin-off" bands Korn has produced (though Head's solo project began after leaving the band). I wouldn't mind hearing Munky's Fear and the Nervous System album, but I have no idea what to expect from it other than knowing that it's apparently an experimental industrial record. I don't really think much of StillWell or Fieldy's Nightmare (aka Fieldy's Dreams). I have a feeling Head will return to Korn one day though. In interviews his response to the possibility has slowly changed from it being out of the question, to wanting to and confessing he still loves the guys, but what they represent (or at least what they remind him of) makes him hesitant to do so. Even Jonathan's thoughts on the situation have changed since 2005, from being fairly harsh and even writing (and actually releasing) those two songs on Korn's untitled album about Head, to being pretty open about his hopes on the reunion, and assuring the audience at that one performance that Head would be back one day. I have a feeling the day will come though when Korn and Head will reconcile, it's obvious both want to. But I think with the path Head has taken, there's still some things about himself he needs to confront before being able to approach Jonathan and the remaining band members and find the compromise needed to make their reunion possible. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 00:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Did Driven give you any trouble at first with your billing information and stuff? I keep entering exactly what I use for other retailers but it keeps erroring and telling me to verify my information. It's starting to piss me off lol, I want to get the autographed album and single pre-ordered pronto. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 22:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Ohh, okay thanks a lot, I'll try that out. It's cuz like last week or so you were saying how you ordered the "Flush" single from Driven and they shipped you four copies. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 22:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Damnit, they have the signed Save Me from Myself, but I don't see a signed "Flush" (or even a standard copy of "Flush", for that matter). Vixen Windstorm (talk) 22:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, weird. It still says I should verify my information, even though I just successfully ordered Save Me from Myself from Newbury Comics. Well the important thing is I got the album coming through now, I'm not big on owning CD singles anyways (though I haven't necessarily given up with it yet, heh). Vixen Windstorm (talk) 23:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Lol, yeah I saw it but it doesn't work when I try to checkout with it. I tried it earlier too before I ordered the album from Newbury. I dunno why it didn't work properly with Driven though. I tried again and it won't go. The important thing is that I get the album at least, so at least I got that on pre-order now. I dunno why I can't order anything from Driven though, maybe I should contact them for support or something. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 23:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. They shipped my copy on Thursday so I'm not sure how long it will take to get here, especially with the weekend and all. Orders usually take a few days but I've never had something ship right before a weekend I don't think so, we'll see. Either way I'm pretty excited. My favorite song from it is probably "Shake". Vixen Windstorm (talk) 01:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Nah, but most of the songs are on YouTube in full-length now. I haven't really been looking for the leak lately. The way I see it, a pre-ordered copy is on its way right now, with the album's release date being Tuesday, so I shouldn't have the album much later than Tuesday anyways. With any luck, it might even be in town by tomorrow, in which case I still wouldn't leak it anywhere myself. People can afford to wait an extra day, heh. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 01:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Me too. I've seen a lot of people commenting on how it sounds more like Korn than Korn has since Brian left, so it's good to see I'm not the only one with that opinion. I hope it receives the recognition it deserves though. If you have a copy of the album now, you should expand the personnel section of the album article. It would be nice to have more than who played guitar and drums, and who produced it, etc, hah. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Musical album reviews

Answers, and a couple requests for clarification....

1. Does Wikipedia state anywhere that there is a limit on the amount of bias a review can contain, as long as we lay the information out neutrally?

   I don't know for sure. I think that as long as the source is generally reliable, and our article is neutral, it doesn't really matter.

2. If you apply a link to an article, does that count as contributing that information to the article, or is it separate? In other words, if I were to add a completely biased link to an article for a review, would it be allowed, or would the link have to be removed because it violates WP:NPOV?

   A link, as in a reference or an external link?

3. Is refusing to reach a consensus on a talk page grounds for a ban? Because I think a user just threatened to attempt to get me banned, because I will not agree with his own logic.

   No, absolutely not. On any talk page, as long as you stay on topic, remain civil, refrain from making personal attacks, and do not edit war on the main article to instate your preferred version, you will never be blocked.

   I should inform you it was not a threat to get you banned, and I find that assumption somewhat insulting, it was a promise to involve someone that would instead force a resolution to the issue instead of it dragging on endlessly as before. Revrant (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I would be interested to know... Which article are you talking about?

People are allowed to remove warnings from their talk pages. (yes, I think it's dumb too, but oh well...) About the only thing I can think of that they are not allowed to remove is block notices or unblock requests while they are blocked.

Also, he said he was going to stop, and he has stopped. Blocks are only handed out to protect the project, not as a punishment. Blocking him now would be pointless. I understand that you're mad he called you a baby, but in the grand scheme of things, I really don't think it's a problem. Lots of people get called far worse things. For example, take a look at the page history for my talk page. And my talk page history isn't even close to as bad as some peoples' talk pages are. I would suggest that you just ignore his swipe at you.

Reply to your comments about my 3RR post

I actually had disconnected myself from most of this dispute but having you bring it up may have renewed my interest in going after some of the glaring hypocrisies that unraveled through this dispute.

To respond though to the assumptions you made on my talk page:

1. The 3rr post referenced was made clear from the beginning that a violation had NOT occurred but was heading in that direction and was more of an attempt to quickly get some unbiased opinion on the issue.

2. If you actually look at the edit histories, the comments made by Rjd0060 posted to my talk before the 3rr post even published so that makes it a little hard to say he was just responding to my 3rr post.

3. GlassCobra then made the comment that "I have requested other parties to get involved" and while there was no record of him making any actual public request for a neutral opinion Rjd0060 happens to pop in near the same time to warn just myself about edit warring and then reverts the article to a version that was already in violation of WP:BURDEN after it was challenged.

4. WP:SPS is never non-applicable on Wikipedia articles as much as it is given provisions per SELFPUB of which this article had clear issues with # 3 and # 7. Nevertheless when I posted the first discussion on the article's talk page and accurately cited WP:BURDEN as being a glaring issue as well, the editor's response was to remove one source and then essentially revert to back to his citation-less version in a clear violation of WP:V.

As an almost a comical (if not pathetic) ending to this exchange the third admin who commented on the 3rr post when I asked him why he only accused one party as warring, his reply was...I warned the other editor in private. So much for neutrality by transparency.

Finally just as a side note, if you really feel the need to lecture somebody on assuming good faith and not being accusatory, I might suggest refraining from then going over to the same user's talk page and accusing them of not thinking when editing. Just a thought. Tmore3 (talk) 04:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Disturbed and TNA

Will these do good enough? here and here.—WillC 21:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Self published? Their by the company themselves. In which they state it is partnership between themselves and the band. The video may not be notable but the song being used for the company's November pay-per-view is. If the song was used in a movie it would be placed in there. This is a live event that lasts for three hours boardcasted all over the world. That screams notability to me. The sources are reliable, the sources are verifiable.—WillC 22:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Fine, but to me it is notable. The company released this info and Disturbed has even stated that TNA is using the song. I don't see anything more reliable than the company holding the event. And anything published by Disturbed would be self published as well.—WillC 22:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Dude, I understand, it isn't important. I just placed it in there since I thought to add it. I take care of most of the TNA ppvs. In the wrestling project, the company is the most reliable source, crap at Lockdown's FAC nothing was said about TNA. Lets leave it at that, the only other source I have at this moment, unless I decided to check Canadian Online Explorer or Wrestling Observer.com, is by a reliable website considered by WP:PW and a marginable reliable source considered by FA reviewers that will work for this type of thing is WrestleView and it's link is here. That is all I have right now.--WillC 22:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: Korn (album)

I noticed your note on the revert here. Unfortunately, this is a user from the Richardson, TX area that frequents the wiki that I admin at {LyricWiki.org) and who makes often damaging and incorrect edits there. (Misheard lyrics, attributing incorrect featured artists to a song, etc.) This user never responds to any notes on their IP talk page, but bounces from IP to IP when their damaging edits are discovered. This user edits primarily Korn, Kanye West, Ice Cube, and Kid Rock pages. The linking of every song is a LyricWiki thing (as we have a link for every song, obviously), and this user seems to want to carry that over to here. I have many of the user's favorite pages on my watchlist here, and have left notes here for them on their talk page(s) as well, to no avail. Sometimes I think that they are making good faith-type edits, but on occasion I'll research some lyric changes that are just blatantly incorrect. (Went through a phase where they would change "girl" in lyrics to "teacher". That was interesting.) So, that's the story. Not really my fault, but on behalf of LyricWiki.org, I apologize for the bleed-over vandalism/damage. KieferFL (talk) 05:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gears of War 2. 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.  Sandstein  07:01, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

The Sickness

Hello Dude527. I've noticed that you often edit articles about Disturbed and you were the FA nominator of Indestructible. WesleyDodds has just told me about some early 2000s issues of Guitar World that he has that might help with The Sickness. If you've seen the article, you should know that it's little more than a lead section, a track listing, personnel, charts, and an infobox. Along with that, it needs more refs. As I see you are busy with Indestructible, I will help source what is already on The Sickness and WesleyDodds may be able to help expand the article using his issues of Guitar World. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone involved in the discussion over Indestructible's FA nom really has any of the print sources that WesleyDodds is looking for. Well that stinks, but we'll have to hope that someone is able to help with that. Good luck with Indestructible! I love Disturbed and would do everything in my power to help with articles about them.--Almax999 06:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but I believe that The Sickness is beyond repair. Articles about things that were released ten years ago, unless significant things, are typically not, and never will be, that large or comprehensive. --The Guy _complain ^edits 18:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

It has to be assembled by the player; bits and pieces reveal themselves at a time. --The Guy _complain ^edits 18:20, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, firstly, though not very important, in Persia it was possible to become a Prince through service to the state or through obtaining mass wealth.

Secondly, I can understand why you think this, but it is sadly without much backing. When they first meet the Concubine asks him whether he is a variety of things, meaning that she is guessing, and to none of which he replies. Over the course of their next several meetings, she occasionally calls him her prince, not a prince, another thing to which he dosn't reply. She also calls herself a queen, which Elika clearly states she was not, and she calls the prince "little man", which is also inaccurate given his height, and she also refers to him as her king, something which contradicts him being a prince. She does all this while offering to let him join her, so it is clear that she is simply trying to tempt him into coming over to her side. Furthermore, the Prince frequently calls her deluded, a lunatic, and says that she "can't see whats real anymore". During the final fight, the Concubine uses illusions and speaks pretending to be both the Prince and Elika, in which Concubine/Elika begs the Prince to rescue her and Concubine/Prince says in response he will forsake his gold and his destiny, and live as a pauper instead of a prince. First, Elika and the Prince only met at the beginning of the game so she is clearly referring to the events after that event. Secondly, when speaking of forsaking his gold the Concubine is clearly referring to him helping Elika instead of looking for his donkey. Thirdly, when speaking of living as a pauper instead of a prince, the Concubine is probably speaking of how he refused to join her. The forsaking destiny is linked to both, so it is probably speaking of both or one of the others. The Prince himself does not respond to any of this, nor does he acknowledge it, and instead yells insults at the Concubine while cutting up the illusions. After the battle, he says that what she said was designed to drive a wedge between him and Elika.

Furthermore dialogue with Elika clearly contradicts the idea of him being of royal lineage, at least to his knowledge, such as when inside the Queens Tower he claims to have never known a queen "up close and personal", and at another point when turning the crank on a elevator says "If I were royalty I'd get people to wind me up and down as well, among other things".

Lastly during the official video on the games website called "Hero Factor", one of the members of the team says to play the game to find out if he becomes the Prince of Persia at the end of the game.

This whole stitching things together to come up with a conclusion also does not fit the doctrine of Wikipedia, as what are stated as facts are supposed to be facts, not theories. And a theory is what this at best is. Even if you wish to argue these points, the basic facts remain that the Concubine never once actually says the Prince is of royal lineage, nor does she say that he ran away because he felt vulnerable, nor does he ever acknowledge it. This is nothing more then theories and speculation, neither of which belong on Wikipedia.

Down with the Sickness

Sorry about the brutal comment I left on Down with the Sickness. I was just trying to get the point across that trivial information should not be added to the article (or else I'd remove it as soon as I see it). I know that there have been several instances where people have added trivia to the article, so I was trying to prevent it. Maybe I was a little too harsh.--Almax999 02:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. Everybody makes comments like that until they can really grasp these policies. I understand it can be difficult at first; you should've seen some of my edits and comments in the article, or in the edit summary of Indestructible (Disturbed album) during my first few months here on Wikipedia. --The Guy _complain ^edits 16:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Thought I'd give you some info on what's going on with this, just in case you think nothing's going on with the article at all. As I stated in the discussion, I will get around to redoing this article, but it won't be for a while. I don't really want to drop all that I'm currently doing, so this has been added to my mental "to do" pile. I'm currently working on several subjects, including getting some FA's out of Sam & Max, cleaning up Half-Life, working on some Star Trek articles and a few bits of Total War series. As such, I don't really want to branch into another franchise at this moment until I've cleared some of the other stuff. It will probably take a few months for me to get around to Anniversary (no Wikipedia deadline after all, unless the Rapture happens sometime soon, the Internet is destroyed or the Sun implodes). -- Sabre (talk) 17:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I check in there once in a while, I'll come and post later tonight. I'm on break right now, and I've been working on my youtube page. I put up 2 Ozzfest tour diaries a few days ago. How do you reply to a comment on a talk page? I'm a little new to wikipedia. Disturbedmb (talk) 23:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok I think I got the hang of it. I edit Wikipedia a lot, I just never login. Disturbedmb (talk) 00:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I saw that. Once it is officially released, an article can be made, but I guess he doesn't get it. It's just like making an article like "Disturbed's 5th studio album." Some significance has to be made for an article. I thought the video was ok. I still haven't been able to see it in real time, my computer is very old and lags, but from what I saw, I thought it was ok. Not as good as Inside the Fire or Prayer though. Disturbedmb (talk) 00:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I wish they made it similar to Voices, like if they were to have the guard headbang at the end hearing the music. They could have done much more, making it a darker setting for one. But a crappy (or average) music video is better then no music video. Disturbedmb (talk) 00:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The Night (Disturbed song)

I'm not sure if "The Night" really has been released as a single, but I found these chart positions for it, so it now technically meets WP:NSONGS as it has charted. Besides that, my local rock radio station has been playing the song regularly, so it's likely that it may have just been released. If I can find a reliable reference that shows that this song is a single, I'll show you. I've been busy off-wiki lately, so it may take me a while to find something that confirms that "The Night" is really a single.--DisturbedNerd999 02:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

?

Why did you revert my edits towards Indestructible (song) and Inside the Fire. Those were fixes toward how those types of articles are supposed to be written, it's supposed to say that it is a song and then released as a single. - GunMetal Angel

The Night

Hi, thanks for the message. The fact that the song has charted is a good start and if there are enough sources to write a detailed article beyond a stub, even better! I'll unprotect it in just a moment. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

The picture looks rather dark on my monitor. I can make out the figure and the word 'Disturbed' but I can't really make out the other wording. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 06:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No, you're not bugging me, it's a pleasure actually compared to some of the people who leave comments on my talk page! The picture still looks a bit dark to me but it's difficult to tell as obviously I don't have the artwork with which to compare. So long as you are happy with it. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Korn's 9th album

I reverted your edit for the importance scale, only because I feel that low importance is unfit for a multi-platinum award winning group. I feel there should be a little more importance involved. KMFDM FAN ^(talk!) 00:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing

Ok, I understand, but the policy either must change, or it should be enforced more. Fansites often provide information that wouldn't be availible elsewhere, and there are a bunch of articles that wouldn't be around if they didn't cite a fansite.

On the other hand

• System of a Down cites SOADfans
• Children of Bodom cites scythes-of-bodom
• Korn cites Kornspace

Of course I think the info on these articles and the band members articles should stay, since the articles would get deleted in no time if all of the sentances had after them. I wasn't out to do self promotion either, I was more in it to make the articles better. ^TheWeak_Willed 19:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree it should be enforced. Problem with citing fansites is just the publication process: you're a non-notable author and your info passes through zero fact-checking processes. You might be able to go about making your site pass the guidelines, I would personally post at the WP:RS talk page to see if there is anything you can do to improve your credibility to Wikipedia's eyes. As for those other bands, I don't edit those articles as much. I DO edit a good majority of Korn articles, but just the albums, nothing else. The other bands, I don't touch.
