message: I wikified the the phrase steam punk, but, as I do so, i realise that that really points to a literary genre, not a musical one.  apologies if this is considered a bad call, but I decided the conceptual link is there, and was bold.--Vidkun 19:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Steampunk is, as you say, a brass-and-clockwork genre. Everything produced under it, be it literature, photography, sculpture, fashion or music is (by definition) an artistic extension of the genre. See Art Nouveau for an earlier genre that spanned multiple artistic extensions. -Dr Haggis - Talk 22:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

message: It's odd to see an encyclopedia entry about a band that does not name the members of the band.  Please, someone who knows should add that.
I just found out about this group, and I hope to come and see a show soon.

message: I've tagged the Backstory section as being unencyclopedic.  It is completely fictional and not necessary in an encyclopedic setting. - Rjd0060 23:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The backstory is a part of the band in a way. Surely this could be included in the article in one way or another? Maver1ck 17:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, the backstory is wonderful but certainly not factual (and therefore unencyclopedic). However, it is rather much a part of the band (so to speak) - perhaps there is some manner it can be contained, much like a work of fiction would have a plot synopsis?

text: Every fictional work in this encyclopedia has an outline of the story. How is this any different? Is it the place of a wiki based encyclopedia to make the culture and artist statement, "Because this is different then other art forms, it is invalid and not allowed"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.171.180.101 (talk) 21:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I came to this article to find out about the band, and I found what amounted to a CD advertisement.  I removed most of it. --Bkkbrad (talk) 02:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My edit was reverted, so I've tried to go back and remove small sections of POV material. --Bkkbrad (talk) 17:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I've temporarily removed Stigmata Martyr from the Albums list, as while there was a song by that name, there is some question as to whether an album by that name was ever released. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 07:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The backstory has been re-added because it is an important part of the bands persona and adds to the informative quality of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by IzzyReal (talk • contribs) 20:06, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Backstory

message: I popped on to clean up the Associated Acts section after I noticed someone had made a big change and vandalized the page. Which is basically what I do, watch a lot of pages on here and revert vandalism. Anyway, someone had blanked the entire section, and I wasn't really sure what acts should go there and what ones shouldn't. I didn't think October 27th and EaTen should be there, as they were former bands that weren't around anymore, as far as I know. As for the others... I was confused on how Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society and Imaginary Daughter related to Abney Park. So I went straight to the source, as I figured "who better to tell me than someone in the band," and wrote Robert directly. His reply was that he didn't think those two bands were technically "associated", as the first was only associated in that it was his wife's ex-husbands band, and the second only because a former singer started it. 
In consulting the Infobox Template, in my estimation it looks like it's a hard call that could go either way. On the one hand it says the section should include "groups which have spun off from this group", while on the other hand, it says that the section should not include "groups with only one member in common." I'll leave as-is for now, but would like some input from others on this talk page, both those who might be familiar with the band(s) in question and those that might be more familiar with the MoS guidelines on this sort of thing. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 10:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
