Rocket from the Crypt[edit]
Hi. I wanted to discuss the disagreement we're having about the Rocket from the Crypt infobox. We generally do not consider it a "year active" if a band only did a one-off reunion or performance. For example, Big Black did a one-off reunion in 2006 to perform 3 songs; we do not count this as a "year active". Hot Snakes had a one-off onstage reunion in 2010, performing 3 songs; this is not considered a year of activity. Jawbreaker briefly reunited in-studio in in 2007, performing 3 songs; this is not considered a year of activity. Rocket from the Crypt had a one-off reunion, performing a single song for a television show; this does not constitute a year of activity. Adding that year to the infobox gives the false impression that the band was active (writing, recording, releasing records, touring) during that year, when in fact they only made a single appearance. Since the full reunion is scheduled for 2013, that will the year to add, but only once it actually takes place.
Regarding your edit summary: "Look at the GNR page: that doesn't say '1985-1994, 2008-present'." That is because Guns N' Roses never technically broke up, though some members did leave the band and they were minimally active between 1994 and 2008: The band continued to record, occasionally perform live, and work on the Chinese Democracy album during this period. Rocket from the Crypt (and the other bands mentioned above) did break up, and their Yo Gabba Gabba appearance was an isolated event with (at the time) no plans for other activity, and no other activity took place that year. It is disingenuous, therefore, to say 2011 was a year of activity when really they were only "active" long enough to record their TV appearance. Regarding your other comment, "Looking at the number of times you've undid revisions by others, maybe you should chill once": I am one of the article's main contributors. I have almost 7 years' experience editing Wikipedia, the vast majority of which has concerned articles about musicians, bands, and albums. I am a member of Wikiproject Musicians and am very familiar with all the policies, guidelines, and best practices relevant to articles about musicians. If I've reverted others' edits on the article, there's been a good reason for my doing so (and you will usually find the reason stated in my edit summary). Looking at the number of times you've edited Wikipedia (71 total), maybe you should trust my expertise on the matter.
I would be happy to discuss this further with you at Talk:Rocket from the Crypt if you wish. Just start a new section on that talk page. --IllaZilla (talk) 22:11, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, my reversion of your edits here and here is not personal. You've made an assertion that isn't supported by a reference, and per WP:BURDEN the onus is on you to provide one, not to resubmit the content unsourced. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

June 2017[edit]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hardwired... to Self-Destruct and Death Magnetic. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 12:28, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
