message: I have no idea how to revert articles (I'm notoriously bad on wikis), but recently the Genre (despite the tag saying DO NOT CHANGE) was changed to "extreme power metal". I assume from reading this talk page that this needs to be changed. Thanks. Funden (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Please change "Steve later rejoined and left once again in December 2000," to "Steve Williams later rejoined and left once again in December 2000," or "Williams later rejoined and left once again in December 2000,", because it's not certain if it's him or Steve Scott that's being referred to.

message: Recently, some videos of live performances of 2 new songs, one being "Cry Thunder" and another colloquially being referred to as "Draconian Rebirth" (which may also be the new album title) were posted to YouTube. I feel that "Cry Thunder" at least needs a mention on this page, as it is the first new song with the new vocalist to be performed in its entirety to a live crowd. Here's a link

replies: text: I agree. It's been unsourced since May, 2011. It could always be put back in if there is a real citation out there. As far as the actually cited quote: Should it even really be in this article? Maybe so, but might belong more appropriately in the main Inhuman Rampage article. Not certain about that. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 04:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the article mention that Sam Totman writes the majority of their music, and a large portion of their lyrics? Seems like a pretty notable fact that I was not aware of until I visited each of the individual album articles. He's credited with solely writing the music of 65% of their studio album tracks, and is only excluded from any writing credit on 5 of their 43 album tracks.

thread_title:  Writing Credits 

message: Would a Marc Hudson-based article be notable? I've been working on one in my sandbox. Also, I am concerned about copyright, for a photo of Marc [as both copyrighting and attributing are very complex on this wiki especially]. Replies would be appreciated. Please leave feedback for the article itself on its talk-page, not here. George.Edward.C (talk) 14:55, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be good idea to have an article for him, however you'd have to find a considerable amount of information and references to put in it if you want it to stay up. Also, my advice would be to talk to a Wiki administrator about the copyrighting - they'd probably know more about it than anyone else. Hope it works out.

thread_title:  SET LIST HAS BEEN RELEASED 

message: Hey guys – in order to prevent continued genre warring, let's discuss the disputed additions to the infobox, being progressive metal and thrash metal. Keep in mind that you need to bring reliable sources to this discussion, such as reviews and articles – this does not include your own opinion, the band's opinion, or interviews with the band and/or other YouTube videos, and if any of these are brought forward, they will be ignored. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 02:18, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: We've had a heated discussion about this in Reaching into Infinity‎ and I ended up accepting prog, heavy, thrash and death metal to be added to the genre parameter since the album does have some elements of them and there were sources for that. However, the genre parameter of the band's article should reflect their overall genre, not every genre they have ever experimented with in particular songs. In other words, even if sources specific to some songs are presented, it still won't be enough to demonstrate the overall genre of the band. Victão Lopes Fala! 07:16, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Several reliable sources stating as such – this isn't about what you or I think. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 23:30, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: So if I give you "several more" interviews where the band says they're thrash, Wikipedia will allow it? Is that what you're saying? TerminatorZXY 11:10, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because that doesn't constitute a reliable source. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 11:24, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it does. The member who wrote most of their songs in the last 2 albums said it, that's more than enough. TerminatorZXY 13:11, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Not relevant to the discussion, as the guideline refers mainly to text materials and the songs/album itself can't be used as a reputable source to prove a genre – you're going to have to bring something more to the table, as it most certainly isn't "more than enough", and I still think that a lot of this is to do with your opinion (especially considering your initial argument). Other than that, again, please stop putting in your signatures incorrectly. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 13:40, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

message: I think it's safe to say that Valley of the Damned – the studio album – is considered the band's debut album, and to say that the 2000 demo is a studio album that warrants inclusion on the timeline just as much as former is incorrect. , I've already explained to you enough, covering both singles and albums, as to what is considered what. Please see WP:LISTEN, stop edit warring, and discuss. I've just seen you restore the information at the demo article again. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 05:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Literally the WP:LISTEN argument can be applied to you, too. Yes, it does, because it was pivotal to the band's success, the 2000 demo was notably different from modern day demos, having a record deal (with MP3.com), having 5 tracks, being over 30 minutes in length and so on. At the time, Valley of the Damned was one of the hottest metal songs on MP3.com, surpassing Blind Guardian and Manowar in power metal section (I even remember someone on the forums pointing it out and saying how "they're gonna be a very successful band one day"), basically gave them a huge head start for something that was once a semi-serious project. I don't think you understand the importance of the demo album, which also generally regarded as an EP at the time of the release. How about the time you constantly kept removing edits which say that that Gee Anzalone does do backing vocals, despite being provided proof (not to mention that he was already credited in the 2015 "In The Line of Fire" release) - you're the one who brought up previous arguments into this.

replies: text: Well, for some reason, Vadim is still listed as an official member in their official website, as well as in their official Facebook page. I still favor waiting for an official statement or something like that, although it's definitely worth mentioning that he's been commenting that he's out of the band. Victão Lopes Fala! 00:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

text: , the protection's needed to prevent those trolls from editing the article – we don't have to remove it just to make these edits (we autoconfirmed users can make the edits instead). , while I, too, understand the need to wait for an official statement of sorts, where would we have drawn the line (in terms of how long we waited if one didn't come)? I think this Facebook post is as official as we're going to get at the moment. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 14:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , we probably won't get any official statements from the band until the next album's released, which will be in a few months minimum, on which the new keyboardist will be officially announced then as well. I don't think we shouldn't wait until then to edit Vadim out of the current members list, when there's already an official statement from him directly available right now. I've already went ahead and edited the german, spanish and russian Wiki pages, where there's no (semi-)protection active atm (so i also had to remove the StevieT ref's there as well...). I'd be able to edit the page here, would the Wiki count in all edits i've done across all languages (esp. the german Wiki, which is my main language) towards the autoconfirmed threshold. --N-Reptain (talk) 15:05, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry guys, had to be kinda absent from Wikipedia in the last couple of months. Vadim's post is more than enough for me, since the band for some reason is reluctant about making it official. I support we finally make the change. Victão Lopes Fala! 19:57, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
