message: Replaced the Trivia with a much more useful Band Biography.Wildespace 03 April 2005
:I removed the band biography.  Writing is considered to be copyrighted even if it doesn't say so, and that includes web pages.  Permission must be obtained from the owner of the material before it can be used in Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Copyrights.  If permission is granted the biography will need some editing to remove POV.  --Beirne 13:14, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
::I wrote the biography, LOL, so I'm the copyright owner! What's POV? -- Wildespace 03 April 2005
:::OK, that point wasn't obvious.  Citing the source was good, you should just mention something about you being the actual author of the material. .  POV is Point Of View. One of the goals of Wikipedia is to have a Neutral Point of View. The biography is well written and is full of facts, but it is written to promote the group, as it should be for the Apocalyptica page. Phrases like "unleashing heavy cello thunder upon the unsuspecting world", "from the bombastic opener 'Path' to the mesmerising 'Coma'" and "The drumming for five of the tracks was done by no other than the legendary Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo." are good for promoting the band but display too much bias toward the band for an encyclopedia article. I don't necessarily disagree with the points but the biography will need to be made a bit more neutral. I do agree, though, that the biography is a lot better than the trivia section.  --Beirne 20:14, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
::::Wildespace, can you repost the biography reducing as much POV as you feel you have the time (or just post it) and then other users such as Beirne can edit it to remove the POV if they don't like it.  (Generally editing I think is better than removing anyways.) -- Graniterock 03:51, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
Nah, I'll leave you stuck with a dodgy Trivia :o) -- Wildespace 17 May 2005

message: Do we really need to list every fanpage that is out there?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.2.124.254 (talk • contribs). 
:I guess the main defence here would be "Why not?". Personnaly I find it rather long, but some of them are more up to date on current Apocalyptica doing thant the main site. Also this article is acting as a nexus of information on Apocalyptica, therefore I think that the fansites constitute a warranted set of information on the group. In short, I say we keep them, but I am open to weening out some of the lesser sites among them sould something have to be done. Dryzen 14:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Proposition to rename 'Covered bands and composers' to 'Covered Artists'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LAUBO (talk • contribs) 15:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It'd be "Covered artists" (lowercase a), but I think "Covered bands and composers" fits the inclusion of Grieg better, or (if it's the "bands" at issue), "Covered artists and composers" would do.  Or take Grieg out of the list... -- JHunterJ 19:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Support the move to keep the title short, A composer is an artist... and should definitly stay in the lsit. --Dryzen 20:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think a composer is an artist in the sense typically used for "covered artists", that of a musical performer.  If someone performs music that someone else composed, it's not necessarily a "cover"... -- JHunterJ 20:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Both good points, but in the intrest of simplicity and conformatiy ot other music band articles, I am willing to forgo semantics. Well soon find out should the change even occure.--Dryzen 20:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: What's the need to have Apocalyptica be a disambiguation page for the band and an obscure single by that band? I've seen no other band article where there is a disambiguation page for the band and a self-titled album. -Phi*n!x 03:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Apocalyptica first of all is is the band, as Metallica first of all is the band, same with Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, and so on with eponymous band/album. This is the main meaning, and needs no specifications. Furthermore, there were no proposal on move. If there will be no strong arguments in favor of (band), I'm going to move it back.Garret Beaumain 14:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree that there shouldn't be a disambiguation page for two articles which are related to the same band and would like to see the move reverted. I would have moved the page back myself, however due to conflicting histories, only an administrator can move the page now. And yes there was no prior discussion for the move and the user that did it has been warned. --Leon Sword 03:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I looked at the listing of covers of Nothing Else Matters and I was thinking there should be a category of Metallica cover bands.
