I don't like aaauuuuu either, but yes, verbs are capitalized in English, as are adverbs.

Not "now". It has always been so. Those are common rules of the capitalization of titles in English language:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... talization
On a side note, keep in mind that those rules are for English language only. For titles in other languages use capitalization rules of those languages. For example, in German all nouns are capitalized. In many other languages only the first word should be capitalized (as well as proper nouns, of course). Also, those rules are for titles (release and songs titles, band names), don't capitalize every word in additional notes or lyrics.

Because people are lazy and don't care about proper capitalisation etiquette in a tabloid or social media environment. When presenting information in an encyclopaedic fashion, however, it really behoves you to follow the proper capitalisation standards (as per the respective language).

You should ONCE FOR ALL tell DreadlockMocio to stop adding shit, seriously ...

See the pic he added for Grimnir from Russia: we only see the body of the guy, boots, knife ... no face, whats the use of having this sort of picture

If he add searched for 2 more minutes, I think you can find 2 photos here (someone can add one..)

Can someone get on http://www.metal-archives.com/users/vartax? He keeps adding 2012 to the year ranges of members of active bands, making them appear as past members (see http://www.metal-archives.com/history/v ... d/id/72729 for examples).

I am a bit uncertain if this is really the right place to post this... I am clearing a lot of "legacy complete" reports from one user, "Badbulon", who has been pretty active in adding lineups for Spanish bands. And for the most part he seems to do a very thorough job, but... he is obviously not aware of the practice regarding adding un-archived bands to the artists trivia.
Could a mod please give him a nudge and tell him what to do with additional info like that?

Not "pointwhoring" but can one of the mods explain to user "provoke" how it works to merge artist entries?

For Desertor (Colombia), he created double entries but he added the links on artist's profiles

I am here to report user sofeshue for vandalizing Agent Steel's page, because he deleted a valid album and a valid demo.

He may be taking care of the "invalid internet release" issue mentioned in the "definition of a single thread", but while doing so he is fucking up useful information. Tell him to learn how to read properly, dig up information or to stop doing it.

The 1998 demo had a note that explained the difference between that official version, and some internet versions floating around. IT IS NOT AN INTERNET DEMO.

The "Tomb of Ra" single had a detailed explanation (written by me) about the story of that demo, and a quote taken from an August 2011 interview to guitarist Juan Garcia, where he explained why was it recorded and released the way it was. Deleting that release is detrimental to the accuracy of the information about Agent Steel.

Also, is there a way to revert those changes?

On a second look at the 1998 demo I deleted, I admit it was a hasty action and may be incorrect. However, I still highly doubt the existence and validity of that demo. I have contacted the band on myspace and waiting for their reply. If confirmed by the band that this was indeed a mistake, then you can add it back and I sincerely apologize.

For the song "Tomb of Ra", the deletion was correct. It is only a song recorded and put on myspace, which now has disappeared. The following text is from an interview with Juan Garcia, the Guitarist. Source: http://www.metal-rules.com/zine/content ... Ik.twitter

Q: You recorded something new called “Tomb Of Ra” with Rick. How did that come up?

A: We were suppose to record a song with John, and it just didn’t happen; he wasn’t prepared at the time; in his defense he was focusing on the live set for Japan, and didn’t have the proper time to record in the studio. The song was written by me, Bernie, Rigo, and Bobby; at one point way back Bruce had some lyrics for the song which had a different title, but we wanted to use our own lyrics and melodies since he left the band. I hadn’t written lyrics since; I don’t even remember; perhaps the EvilDead days, so I started scribbling down some lyrics, and I e-mailed them to Bernie, then Bernie added some additional lyrics and we just kind of put it together ourselves, and had Rick sing it; just to see how it would sound. Here it is. We gave the song away for free on the Internet. We recorded it under ‘Masters of Metal’ new from the Agents of Steel that’s how the song “Tomb of Ra” came about.

This type of "single" does not warrant a separate entry on MA. Just think about this, Band X may not want to release an album, but they can still record a song every month and put on myspace, should we add 12 separate entries for each song they recorded over a year? That's simply ridiculous. Digital albums (mostly, digital singles, eps), if not appear on amazon, itunes, bandcamp, with a serious cover art design, should not be added.

Sofeshue, your answer just proves my point. You don't check your sourches, dig up information or make the right decisions when it comes to erasing releases. I'm almost sure that the way you work on cleaning up the site from "invalid" singles and demos is something like this:

"Oh no!!! The word 'internet' is written on the additional notes!!!! Sacrilege!!! Blasphemy!!!! It must be an invalid release and it is my civic duty as a crusader of validity to delete it!!!!".

Let's take a look at the Tomb of Ra single. You just read the first lines on additional notes, which were "promotional digital single", and decided to erase it, without reading the lenghty explanation (which, as a coincidence, I wrote) that was in the next two paragraphs. If you did read it, you would notice that it is EXACTLY THE SAME QUESTION that you just copied/pasted on your answer. That very same answer backs up the validity of that single. The band records it, then they decide to release it over the internet just for the hell of it. It is not an album preview. It is not a low quality recording someone ripped and posted. It is not an incomplete song teaser. It is not an internet bootleg. (which, if I remember correctly, are the subject of the "definition of a single" thread) It is a full song released independently by the band themselves, and it does not matter if it is free of charge or not. The fact that it isn't sold doesn't make it invalid. Check what Porman answered to ExEcutionEr on the "single" thread:

"Just a notice. Downloads only do not need to be available for purchase to be valid, as long as they have been officially released by the band."

And what have we leart so far? The lesson is that IT WAS released by the band.

And now, the 1998 demo.

You "highly doubt the existence and validity of that demo"? OK then. Guess what!? I OWN THE FUCKING DEMO. That proves its existence. And since you're irresponsible enough to make random deletions without any prior investigation, here's something for you to ignore:

http://www.metal-rules.com/interviews/AgentSteel.htm

Scroll down to Juan Garcia's photo. Yes, he's the bald guy with a moustache. Read the question that follows the one under the pic. Bernie Versailles is the one who answers. Read the last part of the answer. Done? OK. He clearly answered "I know it's a little cheesy sounding, but it was a vehicle for us to get rolling again." That should clear the validity, since they "shopped around" the demo and used it to "get rolling again". And how do I know that he's talking about the same demo you erased? Well, I mentioned I own the damn thing. Ever since I got it, I wondered why they decided to use a drum machine, instead of the incredibly awesome drum monster Chuck Profus. A couple of years ago I read that interview, and I could finally understand why they did it. So the other lesson is that the 1998 demo exists and it is valid.

You may not be a point whore, but you are an irresponsable and negligent user who shouldn't be deleting things out of the blue. God knows how many valid releases you screwed and how much valuable information you erased just because you didn't check the right sources. I hope this helps you to make the right choices from now on.

You're welcome.

Out of curiosity, I checked the user rankings and it turns out that you're a moderator on the site. I wasn't aware of it. But still, I don't take back anything on my previous post, since I still think it is negligent and irresponsible to delete things without looking for information (especially for a moderator). The fact that you're a mod makes me feel that you really thought you were doing the right thing, but still, it does not change the fact that I can prove my point.

Actually, what Porman told ExEcutioner in that thread didn't reflect site policy. Digital singles have to be up for purchase. So "Tomb of Ra" is not a valid release as per this site's rules. Regarding the 1998 demo, maybe I'm confusing something, but it's still there?

There's also no need for your exaggerating tone.

Yes, I was under the impression that free digital downloads only (say a demo, EP or full lenght), was applied to single tracks as well. I apologize for any inconvenience that might have appeared on this matter.

OK then. I won't insist on the "Tomb of Ra" single. And no, that one is the OTHER 1998 demo (it's the first one, in fact all the arguement was over the second one). It's still on v1 though. What happened is that sofeshue erased the second demo (called Agents of Steel since v1), and then he renamed the first demo (called Agents of Steel 1998 demo originally) with the name of the second demo he just erased (which I find weird since they do not have the same tracks or anything).

And, I didn't mean to "sound" exaggerated. It's just I really found it aggravating, so it came from the heart.

Thanks anyways Azmodes.

I see. Well, seems like the demo should be added again, but for now it can't hurt to wait for the reply sofeshue mentioned.

EDIT: If nothing more comes up there in the next few days, I'll just re-add it.
