message: I Removed Nu Metal from his genres and put Heavy Metal, Slipknot doesnt play nu metal for god shakes!
Ps. Iliputti
Yes, they do. Heavy metal is being played by bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden (NWOBHM). Slipknot has nothing to do with heavy metal, I mean come on, just compare the sounds.
yes, but Slipknot are Metal!
Slipknot is nu metal otherwise why would they have a sampler and a dj. Portillo 04:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

However, despite attempting to follow Wiki’s protocol on citing Instagram posts, I can’t seem to do so properly. If anybody could help a first timer on doing so, it would be greatly appreciated. MrZootMarimba (talk) 17:21, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Identification of Crahan’s original mask 

message: @Chaheel Riens: Although I can't find any WP guideline regarding aliases in infoboxes, I don't think the band's numbers constitute aliases. You can read about how they came to be here, with a direct quote from Crahan. And as I said in my revert earlier, they are written in booklets in the form of "number: name", as you can see here. No "alias" or "aka" or anything similar mentioned. Seelentau (talk) 21:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't see this post when made due to the malformed ping.  However, I've looked at the interview and it seems to support my stance - the article itself states:  "Anyway, Clown, aka #6 gave an interview recently..." - my emphasis on the aka.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:50, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If that satisfies the requirements for inclusion in the infobox, it's fine by me. I just thought they shouldn't count as aliases because they're designated numbers and not nicknames or alternate artist names (unlike, for example, #0 Sid Wilson, who is also known as DJ Starscream).
