I need help in finding a fair way to cite this. As a nu metal fan for 10 years, I KNOW that this is factual. Please do not revert this information. I would just like a way to cite it properly without causing controversy. For anybody skeptical, please listen to at least 1 nu metal song by korn or mudvayne.70.119.203.248 (talk) 01:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I cited it. Sugar Bear, before you revert it again, it would be great if you explained why. You don't have to explain, but I would appreciate it. It's not my article, but I would appreciate it if I could make edits and have them "considered".70.119.203.248 (talk) 09:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I just want to revert everything but it doesn't seem that your source supports the statement you provide. The source states that Korn is nu metal and that Korn has the tritones; it doesn't say that nu metal bands generally have tritones. Also, it's questionable whether this is a reliable source seeing as blogs aren't normally. This mgiht be an exception though given it looks scholarly enough. Why not try seeing what people at WP:RS/N say? And if it gets confirmed there, why not try putting something in at Korn's article instead? Munci (talk) 17:31, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll go ahead and try that but please note that if you listen to as much nu metal as I do you would notice that that quality is applied across the board. Tritones and dissonance can be found in almost every nu metal song in existence. 70.119.203.248 (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I used to listen to nu metal quite a lot myself. The reason I wouldn't notice is more I have little understanding of what a tritone is. :) Munci (talk) 00:01, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure about that to be honest; I don't know exactly what the guidlines and so on are for that or where it would fit in. That's helpful of you though. Certainly posting a recording elsewhere on the net and linking from the talkpage would be fine I think. Munci (talk) 11:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you really think there's "original research and attributing it to sources that don't back up the content added" in the current version of the article, please, point out the details. Munci (talk) 23:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
