Yes.


Where did he do that?

We All Fall, Queen Beast, Sybil Smith I still remember those since I was te one who added them but I am sure he did that to many more that I can't remember.

I don't see any change made by him involving pictures.


What's wrong with the logo he uploaded? It's taken from their Myspace.


All I can see there is that he uploaded one logo and you changed it to the current one.


Right now, I can't see anything overtly wrong with his other modifications.

We All Fall he added wrong line-up to the 3 albums, I removed them. He also added only the first name of the members despite that he can easily find their full name on their bio posted on facebook.

Queen Beast he was dumb enough to add new members without linking the members from the band's previous name despite that it's clearly stated on the page that the band was previously known as Pile of Dead Women. I fixed that and the artists he added got deleted.

Sybil Smith he couldn't read the band's name so he took the album's cover crop the album's name and add it as the band's logo!

He did other things too that I fixed but can't remember them. I always ignored his modification until what he did with We All Fall that was clearly point whoring.

I've told him to check this thread.

ALL the line-up informations that i added were taken from the bands MySpace or Facebook profile, i DON'T add false informations, the next time i will send a report with the evidence of the informations. About logos i simply take them from the albums on the site there a lot of album-logo images, so i thought it was granted.

he's still adding a lot of album line-ups

don't you think its HIGH TIME to stop him once for all. I guess he ignored the warnings or he's too idiot (Indonesia pffff.... )

Lauri: Quit the racist remarks.

He's not systematically adding album lineups to every band he updates, only to a few, and mostly to Indonesian bands. If you can actually show me some wrong lineups, then I can do something about it.

Well, common sense says that if he's Indonesian and the bands are Indonesian as well, he probably knows a lot of the bands.

Good you want an example, I just checked some of his updates

I'm sure here the line-up is wrong for this promo from Czech Band MANIPUL

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ma ... 2005/93202

he added the singer Josef Slaný as Vocalist which is WRONG

1) if you check promo cover, you see all members including a GIRL .. = Martina Baierová
2) in this bio in czech, http://bandzone.cz/manipul?at=info, it states that Martina joined the band in 2004 ..

SO SHE SINGS ON THE PROMO..

so again he added a random line-up "Adding incorrect line-ups is a bannable offense" ad this will go on again & again with such users ...

so now what, a new (useless) warning ...

That was added before his last warning.

He's not whoring, but can someone kick a message out to http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Holokaostor? He has a habbit of sending the same report multiple times. http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/V._Galtak/31684 is just one example (8 reports for the same issue in 3 minutes 20 seconds)

Done.

Before anyone complains, I reverted all the changes made by Caliginosity on Agent Steel's page based on a report sent by a user called walikor. These changes being the band status and a small note about a name change, because they weren't completely accurate. The current band situation is a little complex (from what I've read, information I've gathered and comments I've recieved), so the information as it was before Caliginosity's edits would be more valid than anything sent in the report.

Also, I am working on a little "something" to add in Agent Steel's page about their situation. If anyone has any doubts, or wants me to elaborate about this, just ask.

Ok. I went off of the link given. If there is more to the story that you know of, then its ok to make the proper correction, given that it is accurate.

The soooooooooo trustful Staatsfeind added an album without tracklisting, new Wolfnacht CD

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Wo ... urg/325003

so ... just a warning??..

Yes, warning!

Could someone tell Haayara_Boeret that he don't have to add "not to be confused with bandX, bandY..." when the bands are from different countries despite having the same name.

Done.

Onanizer is adding artists to the additional notes of albums, sometimes the artist is already noted under misc staff, sometimes not.

http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Ona ... on_history

Warning sent.

I don't see the problem, but it's late and maybe I'm missing something.

Adding links to tabs is allowed. We do have a section called "tablatures" in the related links after all.

i have to admit that i'm not 100% sure about this one.
but i highly doubt that lykanthropie was formed in 1999 and i also doubt that they are from frankfurt
you find no information about that online.
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Lyk ... 3540338886

the info was added by Tomb_of_Cunt (http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Tomb_of_Cunt)
and as his modification history consists mainly of adding stupid lyrical themes i assume that he just made this up.

EDIT: Tomb_of_Cunt contacted me about this issue and he was not point-whoring, but the info he added is wrong anyway and i'll remove it.

you should keep an eye on "Ch_Diabolus" he's adding a lot of album line-ups

Btw could you tell him and all users anyway to STOP adding album line-ups before adding band line-ups

He added 2 members in the demo that were not even in the past members...

I fixed the albums line-ups on Michael Harris' band page but I suppose that the past members tag should be fixed because most of the artists are session members and the others are probably live members. Someone familiar with the band should do that.

The live album "Live! Wild And Truly Diminished!!" has quite a special situation it's released under the name David T. Chastain / Michael Harris the materials in the album are from David's and Michael's previous works so I don't know if it should be added as a split or if a new page under the name David T. Chastain / Michael Harris should be created or if it should stays as it is now (added on the both pages as a live album). I'll add a new page for the band because I think it's the way to do it, feel free to reject it if you have a different solution.

Could someone tell Rotting_Christ_Mike and Shotgun how to properly use the add/remove instrument!!!!

Could you be more specific...?

This is an album line-up: http://i40.tinypic.com/2cy07mh.jpg

I suppose this should be disabled on all albums as a permanent solution.

The main gripe behind people adding instruments on different fields was to avoid clogging the band page with superfluous time range info (which hinders readability). Album line-ups aren't that much of a bother; the information gets presented the same.

Personally, I'd prefer people include every instrument in the one field, but there's really no reason beyond pure aesthetics that instruments must be included on the one line as opposed to several. If album line-ups are extended in future to include track-based information (utilising fields similar to time-ranges to designate instruments played on certain tracks) then yes, this could become an issue.

But since neither of those users were going out of their way to change existing line-ups to readd the instruments in different fields, neither of them are guilty of point-whoring.

I don't care if they got 100 point for doing this, in fact I don't care if they are point-whoring or not. I didn't want to open a new thread so I posted that here. Well I thought that the add/remove instrument was only meant to be used when a member started (or stopped) to play a new instrument therefore this is only useful in the band's main page. I personally don't see any other advantage for that but apparently I was wrong and this can be used everywhere so never mind.

Perhaps multiple fields for one member could be deactivated for album lineups?

This is what I suggested.

Yeah, I don't really see any logical use for multiple instrument fields for album line-ups, either.

I've sent him a message.


That was added to the "to do" list months ago.

can you explain to "SurgicalButchers" how it works to add album line-ups ..

For Gonorrhoea (Indonesia) he entered new entries (duplicate) for album line-ups... not even taking the members already listed in the legacy line-up

I'll go through his updates because it seems its not the 1st shit he did -__-

please stop him ASAP, he's fucking up a lot of pages

check . Ultimo Mondo Cannibale last cd, he created other entries for members .... ...

I just finished cleaning all the shit he added (spent over 45 min ...): never seen someone so stupid! he created so many duplicate entries for album line-ups... Hope there won't be any warning but directly a x-mas present
