Talk:Protest the Hero

message: While quite comprehensive, this article is clearly biased at times and unencyclopedic. It's great that a fan of this band chose to put together the article, but it heaps on subjective praise where it should be objective. Avwhite 04:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

message: It is obvious that they claim to have influence from famous authors (Dostov?!) and even name one of their songs after a protaganist in his book (I am Dmitri Karamazov...) yet just because one can open a book and see a name doesn't mean that they can appreciate the intellectual brilliance of his works. The lyrics have no real hidden meanings, they are created for purely emotional employments. That being said, I like the sound of their music. Grow up boys.
-FM (Forgive my English, it is a third language)
protest the hero, and their bassist Arif in particular, have cited Fyodor Dostoevsky as an influence. Whether or not they have used his works to truly inspire their music can be debated, but it is a fact that they cite him. It's not my job to speculate whether they are lying or not. --Bouyeeze 22:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Still somewhat biased / error in factuality 

message: I'm trying really hard to take into account all aspects of Protest the Hero's sound, and also abiding by the different genres' articles of wikipedia. I'm not sure if I've accurately described their sound...I'm especially unsure about calling them metalcore, however I do feel they have aspects of metalcore in their sound. If anybody has any comments they'd be most invaluable. --Bouyeeze 00:46, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Progressive metalcore and mathcore are the same thing. Why the name "mathcore", I have no idea, but progressive metalcore seems to describe Protest the Hero pretty well. --...Wikiwøw. 19:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Protest the Hero's music is at the same speed as many other progressive metal bands; Dream Theater, Symphony X, Textures, all make fast, progressive music. Besides that, by the very nature of the genre, progressive metal does not set conventions on speed. Tempo is only important to take into consideration when classifying genres like doom or thrash, in which it's a distinguishing characteristic. --/ˈwɪkiwaʊ/. 23:46, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I think some of the trivia would need to be referenced before we can freely state it, especially the moe throwing up bit and the frivolous encore bit. If it's not referenced (or at the very least, state in here how you know that) in the next few days I'm going to remove them. --Bouyeeze 15:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You can try at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, though I don't think there's been enough recent vandalism to semi-protect this page. I find with articles about bands, a lot of good edits are made by anonymous IP's. Though not always, as you pointed out. --Wikiwøw 21:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Excessive Praise 

message: "Trivia: In the scene where Tim is working as a counter boy, he enters the value '3.14159', which are the first 6 digits of the numerical value of pi. This connection is understandable since Protest have elements of Mathcore in their music."
That last statement is ridiculous.

message: I was shocked to find the Kezia article was deleted, and looking through the AfD archives, I found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kezia. The consensus seems to have been Keep, so I must ask, why was it deleted? --...Wikiwøw 03:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears the admin who deleted it (User:Jimfbleak) has been using his power to delete articles at random, mostly those that are in development, and also with no explanation as to why the articles are deleted. How he determined the article to be non-notable and deletable is beyond me. Hackstar18 04:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was the ''Kezia'' article deleted? 

message: The Sequoia Throne article states that the song was released as a single, but this article says it was an EP. An EP and a single are different things, and maybe it'd be convenient to know which format "Sequoia Throne" was actually released as, since I'm skeptical of the EP idea. --...Wikiwøw. 00:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: "February 5, 2008 lead vocalist for Protest the Hero, Rody Walker, posted a blog on MTV's Headbanger's Ball blogger site containing his infatuation with country music. Rody states 'I'm sick of all these idiots on the Internet who claim they listen to every type of music "except country." Those people are stupid liars. Obviously you don’t listen to everything if there’s an exception. On top of that silly mistake, country is awesome.'- Rody Walker"
I don't know if this necessary. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. We might as well include every opinion Walker has blogged about. Of course, that would be a bad idea, and trivia sections are discouraged. The only subjects that should be included on this article are those that are directly relevant to the band or their music. The quote might be welcome in an article about Rody Walker himself, but not here. Not to mention, it's uncited, which is the least of its problems. With that in mind, I will remove it. --...Wikiwøw. 02:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
