WELL ok then better have no picture than a shadow picture, the result is the same for me

Well another example is Kyrenee from Luxembourg, look at the pics he added for members

http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Gilles/329469

For me, even if it looks like the member, its a drawing, not a picture

For Luc if he had spent more than 10 seconds searching, here is a better picture

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... =3&theater

For the female singer: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... =3&theater

BUT you need to search and people are lazy ...

hi dudes, mmm Im not tryng to disturb anyone, or point whoring, I spend much time here trying to complete the data base (contact the bands, looking for more bands etc). Is any wrong with the pictures?? do you wish only clear photos??

Use better pics, that's all. Don't use a drawing if pictures of the musician are available...

ok, I will submit with better pics, hope you tell me if you see this again (and I will try not). thanks

Are Vkontakte considered as valid links? because aeternus1990 has been adding plenty of them since this morning and in this case its totally useless

http://vk.com/club2333516 "This is a private community. Access only by invitations from administrators."

Yes, of course they're valid links. I have a VKontakte account and I've seen a *lot* of Slavic bands with floods of information only accessible to members.

Some bands even forego any other site and remain on VK alone.

When I've added this link it wasn't a private community, that means the band change the access themselves... In this case, that link should be deleted.
All VKontakte links I've added are valid, and almost all active Russian modern/new (and some of the old ones) bands have official band groups in this social network. Half of them have official websites, but plenty of them does not working.

Currently I'm working on the links section for Russian bands and it's plenty of dead/not working/broken/404/not found etc. links because it can be added many years ago and it seems I should care about links myself to make band pages (especially Russian) looks better with only working links.

MCMLXXXIX is AGAIN adding wrong line-ups ...

this must stop now -__-

Sabacthani- A rising from here album

Line-up seems to be this displayed here

http://labuangmetalmonster.blogspot.be/ ... -here.html

and not the one he added

Moreover, he's not even able to merge members together
Vsevolod Kalenda from Riverdale is involved in another band so I had to couple both entries, don't tell me "Vsevolod Kalenda" is a common name in Belarus

Here again

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ri ... s_Us/74111

Apparently only Paolucci Nicola played bass on this album

http://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews ... nt&id=2220

Varg Vikernes added plenty of albums without tracklisting, for bands starting with A, he just added them with hyphens instead of tracks

MCMLXXXIX - Warning sent.
Varg Vikernes - Banned.

Loads of recent lyrics & lengths one by one here
http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Nihil%20Seitan

One album he even added the lyrics & lengths separately one by one!

Warning sent.

Can you get rid off "SurgicalButchers" once for all?? i think it is the 3rd time he's mentioned here and has not yet learnt how to use M-A correctly

I'll have again to check all his updates because I noticed he created many double entries ...

Deformed slut: the member is Adriano Sekne, he created an entry in the album as ADRIANA Sekne! to add album line-ups he mostly create double entries instead of taking the existing the members

Third and final warning sent. He does it again, and he can expect a Dursting, I think.

14 duplicate artists I just deleted -__-

Yeah, I know. And he's been warned about this already - twice. Once in frigging Portuguese, too.

Need to Durst this user, he's done some trolling around here.

I've cleaned up this idiot's comedic endeavours, but only an admin can ban him.

He's gone.

Another one who's randomly adding line-ups without giving a f***

User "man_of_shadows814"

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Pi ... ime/341787

Sébastien Le Bellec Guitars (formerly bass)

The "formerly bass" should not be there unless he played both Guitars, Bass (please correct after checking)

I noticed http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Matrakhor was earning points very fast. He went from about half-way of the third page on the user highscores to near the top in a short time. This is how.

I don't think this was mentioned in the rules, but he's been adding artist information (birthdate, location etc) one by one. I didn't see any artists where he added multiple information all in one, so I'm fairly sure it's deliberate.

Most of his points come from reports, I think. He's reporting quite a lot of female artists who are given as "male", among other things, reports which have thus far been valid each time. I've told him about the "one-by-one" modifcation thing, but otherwise I don't see a problem with him.

Urgh... he's been warned before, final warning sent.

Yeah.

I've been solving most of his reports, and so far he is making a good job on that. The guy seems legit, in my opinion.

Huayno_Metal_Master added random album line-ups for a ton of bands

For Dismal (Italy), he added the same members for all releases

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Di ... siaca/7332

If you look at Discogs (which is I think reliable) it is different (having former member Ae on vocals for example)

http://www.discogs.com/Dismal-Dionisiac ... se/1798755

Stern warning sent.

Erm, thanks for finding this. Is there any way to find out who this person might be?

(Murustrictus is my band)

I think it's impossible to find out anymore about who he is, but he's banned now so you don't need to.

I'm a layman when it comes to these things, but the IP points to Cardiff, Wales/London, England. No idea how meaningful this is. I think that's the best we can do. Seems like he/she is at it again, btw (provided it's the same person, should be banned shortly in any case). This time the IP says Aberdeen, Scotland, which is also the given location for Murustrictus.

Some of this stuff is hilarious, but understandably pointless. I am impressed at the long stories the person is writing and the lyrics they seem to be making up on the spot.

My thoughts exactly! You gotta have some imagination to write that story Herp Derp wrote about how Mustrictus formed. I thought it was very funny, but it is, well, vandalism.

This user has been adding lineups to releases with little discretion, basically adding whatever lineup is listed on the band page for albums.
http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Huayno_Metal_Master

I noticed on this one that an incomplete and incorrect lineup was added - the band lineup even listed things like (Vocals - 1st album), and the lineup was in the additional notes, but only part of the lineup from the additional notes was added to the album, and one of those members was credited incorrectly, with "Vocals, Keyboards, Drums (early)" when he did not perform drums on that album, and a drummer was listed in the additional notes.
http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Di ... row/216275

Didn't check over a lot, but it seems like more incorrect information could have slipped through.

edit: the previous album had this lineup listed, evidence of paying little attention to the information being added.

Dmitriy Tracevskiy Guitars
Michail Sobol Guitars
Dmitriy Laptyonok Vocals, Keyboards (Drums early)
Alexey Savchenko Bass (1st album)
Dmitriy Shiyka Vocals (1st album)
Irina Berestneva Vocals, Keyboards (1st album)

He's already been warned about it by Alhadis a week ago. Hasn't added anything else since then.

This dude changed all the songs on Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon to instrumentals for no apparent reason; someone should probably warn him about that.

Warning sent.

I also took the liberty of pointing him to Wikipedia's definition for "instrumental" in case he hasn't quite figured out what it means.

Dying_Hope has been adding song lyrics/runtimes one by one.

Warning sent.

It'd be nice if someone from the Higher Power Club asked Carpathianchrist not to add albums if he doesn't know the tracklist. I just took care of a report in which he mentioned the right tracklist for a release he added before, in which he just added one track, and as song title he wrote "album has eleven tracks".

Here it is.
