Glenn Tipton

I recommend you actually have some idea of what you are talking about before you remove revisions that actually correct the inaccuracies on display. From the comments of others below, it seems you have angered a good few other people with your insistence to stick to false information.

You criticise me for (apparently) not citing official, verifiable sources of good standing - even though I have cited from an official book (including interviews). And yet you have the audacity to cite a web page as a valid reference point for your wild and wholly inaccurate claims.

As a pro guitarist of 20 years, my ears tell me what Glenn Tipton's style is made up of. But I chose to leave that out and instead cite the verifiable and legit source of a guitar book composed of licks and solos from Tipton's career. This book (which confirmed what I had figured out myself by analysing Tipton's music) was written by the leading guitarist/teacher/journalist Nick Bowcott. And as said, this book contains interviews with Glenn Tipton himself - all of which backs up what I wrote. But oh no, that wasn't good enough for you.

I also rounded off my references with a link to a web site where they know what they are talking about - and one just as valid as the rubbish that you referenced.

All in all you revert the ACCURATE edits I made to the INACCURATE info that caused me to sign up and edit in the 1st place. And you are the only person on Wiki who DOESN'T follow the rules of assuming everyone else acts with good intentions. Instead you leave arsey messages.

Congrats. Not only on being a douche. but one who knows sod all what he is talking about.

Simon Wilcox

I added some references to Simon Wilcox. You may want to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Wilcox. -- Eastmain (talk) 01:06, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Pete Townshend, travel restrictions

You appear to support the current wording of the Townshend article where it mentions "travel restrictions". It is, however, patent nonsense. I have tried to correct it and remove it, but people keep putting it back to the "consensus text". I keep trying to insist that people source it, because in trying to provide sources, it will be discovered that the material is nonsense. I say the material is nonsense. But you you restore it, it is down to YOU PERSONALLY to prove that there are limitations on Townshendn's foreign travel that have been waived by someone. I quote Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons:

The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia, but especially for edits about living persons, rests firmly on the shoulders of the person who adds or restores the material.

Megadeth '90s albums

Can I ask why the '90s Megadeth albums are still being tagged with incorrect, unverifiable genres? Risk (album) is the only applicable album that can be tagged with hard rock. Provide sources that distinctly say "Megadeth is now hard rock and not traditional heavy metal" or it's just POV. The main article has had that incorrect tag rejected, so it's high time we clean up the articles of that rot. -MetalKommandant (talk) 04:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Since you are the only person who seems to be edit warring over the subject it is you who needs to produce a reference saying that they aren't included in that genre. IF you can't then the link can be added back to the pages. Wether B (talk) 21:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Source?

Since the discography of Megadeth as well as "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride the Lightning" is the majority of Dave Mustaine's work, I do not see where you're getting "hard rock". "Risk" and the MD. 45 side project are two minor aspects in his musical career.

Deleting something does not require a source. Adding something that outrageous and alternating, however, would. -MetalKommandant (talk) 03:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Far from outrageous. It describes much of the guitarist's work since he moved away from thrash metal in the late 1980s. Wether B (talk) 03:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

No... that was standard heavy metal music. Risk (album) is the only thing you could be referring to. Countdown through Cryptic were basic, standard heavy metal albums, while The World Needs a Hero was a return to the traditional style with elements of traditional heavy metal with them.

So, you're telling me '90s Megadeth is no different from '90s Metallica, which could be possibly described as hard rock? I do not believe Megadeth had an era of rock albums influenced by southern rock and blues... See bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest to see what I mean by standard heavy metal. Believe it or not, there's an area between thrash metal and hard rock. -MetalKommandant (talk) 11:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

You should not try to express an opinion on a subject that you seem to have absolutely no knowledge on. Wether B (talk) 12:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

You seem to have an opinion, as well. "No knowledge"... I suggest you not take a holier-than-thou stance here... -MetalKommandant (talk) 02:52, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Bad edit

Re: this edit - (a) the picture you replaced was freely licensed, but your edit summary makes it clear that you apparently did not check. (b) Contrary to your statement in the edit summary, we DO NOT have to use the most up-to-date photo. In general, we want the best quality photo, and the photo you replaced was substantially better than the one you replaced it with. I have reverted. In the future, be more careful before making detrimental edits. Raul654 (talk) 22:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Roger Fisher (guitarist)

Thanks for that. I was contemplating how to merge the two versions, decided it was too much work, and put the thought in the "for later contemplation" basket. (aka the "too hard" basket.)
Actually, I disagree with your "NPOV" categorisation, or at least I disagree that POV is the primary problem. My major problem is that he has removed ALL references that were there, and has no supporting references for anything he says, a small amount of which I know to be incorrect.
Once again, thank you for solving my problem for me. Perhaps not the solution I would have preferred, but none-the-less, a solution.
By-the-way, that anon has a long history of useful contribution to the page; we're probably about to embark on an edit war. If you feel the need for assistance, don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page.

The Fixx

Wether, you reverted edits I made to The Fixx page. My belief was that The Fixx is singular, not plural, so I changed verbs accordingly. "The Fixx are a band" sounded awkward to me. I had thought that if a band did not use a plural noun, it would be referred to in the singular. Or, take a band like Journey. There are several members of the band but no one (I don't think) would say "Journey are a band." I don't think I'm alone in this. In any event, you referenced my edits as vandalism, which was obviously not my intent.--Lindsay (talk) 04:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
