Talk:Arch Enemy

message: An anonymous author wrote this in the article:
"In July, guitarist Christopher Amott temporarily left the band in order to focus on finishing his studies (which is interesting considering he is reported to be illiterate)"
(emphasis mine)
I commented this until (s)he or anyone else can give a reliable source for this, since I find this highly unlikely. Rbarreira 14:26, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Angela Gossow said in Kerrang issue 1084 "[Chris] just couldn't face the upcoming touring and promotion schedule... He never liked it, and I think he realised it was going to be a long time before he had any time to himself." So I changed the article. 13-days 17:18, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Christopher Ammott illiterate?

message: The one partway down. Does it really need to say "the band Arch Enemy in 2004...."? The article is about Arch Enemy, there is already a photo of them further up the page and the punctuation in this title is all wrong anyway. My excuse for removing the name of the band from the title anyway! IainP (talk) 14:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I removed it in the first place! However, I don't think it will do any harm. 13-days 14:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Both of you should try single-handedly writing articles on bands nobody cares about instead of complaining over trivialities. Anyway, next time you want something changed, say it, it instead of criticizing my work. --Sn0wflake 20:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No need to say it, we changed it ourselves. Sorry you found it so offensive. 13-days 20:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title of photo 

message: I removed the reference to rumors regarding Gossow's romantic link to Ammott.  Not only is that rumor unverified and uncommon, there was a sexist tone to the notion that she was a good singer, despite this.
*Not sure where I read it, but in an interview Michael said that they were indeed a couple, and that he didn't want to reveal it at the time.  I'll try to find the link.  Skeletor2112 04:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Point of order; Arch Enemy was not created from the ashes of Carcass. Arguably, Blackstar (Rising) was forme from the ashes of Carcass as it contained three ex members. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.144.23.38 (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: If you reverse the song "Skeleton Dance" off of Doomsday Machine, there are a few backmasked messages, I can only make out one though, "Bleeding Forever." Anyone else care to give it a listen and share their thoughts? Thanks AgentHappyDay 05:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was listening to the notes on the 2004 special edition reissue of One Kill Wonder and found that Michael done the solo on Bloodletting. Do you think that is strong enough to let The Haunted be considered an associated act (also for other reasons)? NaotoATG 08:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm a noob so I don't know how to do this, but I noticed when you type Black Earth in search, nothing about it being an Arch Enemy album appears.  That is, unless you type Black Earth (album) but that is kind of annoying.  Someone please fix this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agentkro (talk • contribs) 02:10, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anarchism? 

message: The amount of albums released (9) is inconsistent with the count in the text (saying War Eternal is the tenth release), probably because The Root of All Evil is counted as an album in the text, but as a compilation on the discography page. I'm not sure which is more accurate here; The Root of All Evil contains re-recordings that are noticeably different. 46.5.98.151 (talk) 19:00, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I began a discussion recently suggesting that bands should only have members subpages if they have had large numbers of line-up changes. I don't believe that having a members subpage for this band is necessary, as there are only seven former members and one touring member, a lot of the information there can already be found at the main article, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 12:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: There appears to be a dispute around the controversy section. It is cited and to my eyes correct as far as the citations suggest, however it is being regularly deleted or amended. The most recent removal threatens "report to the authorities" for slander. Which bit is incorrect? 86.11.166.223 (talk) 11:57, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been added before. The only account of this supposed controversy is from the attention-seeker photographer himself, therefore unnacceptable per WP:RS. Fbergo (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  https://www.google.com/search?q=%22arch+enemy%22+photographer none of these 2.5 million results are reputable? I can see several sources that would be determined as reputable according to WP:RS in the top ten results. It's like the most significant thing about them. For comparison, Dead Eyes See No Future gets less than 50k results. Earfetish1 (talk) 15:06, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

text:  : I was a little surprised that this wasn't in the article to be honest. I remember this from a couple of years back, and "controversy" would be the right word. The photographer and others in the business had one view, the band and some fans had another. Two different points of view, both strongly defended... Seems pretty controversial to me. I'm not sure how having an opinion on an event (that you are involved in) is attention-seeking - it seems to me that if that is applied here, it should be applied to pretty much anything. Also there are independent sources who reported on it. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/sg/pitchmark/news/photographer-becomes-arch-enemy-for-going-after-copyright-offenders-359112
