Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Bring Me the Horizon has been completed.
I did find two issues that I wanted to draw to your attention.
In the ‘’Suicide Season’’ section the following appears:
"Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album, Suicide Season, in Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordström. He was unimpressed with their first album and was initially absent from the recording sessions unless he needed to be there. Nordström later heard the new sound they were experimenting with during a recording session and became very involved in the record."
This could use further explanation, if possible. It sounds as though the record label assigned Nordström to produce the album, he had no interest in doing so and left them to do whatever they wanted. Then he heard something he liked. This needs some "fine tuning" because as it reads now it doesn’t quite make sense.
In the Image and legacy section: "Their third album (2010's There Is a Hell...) was seen as a significant turning point in altering public perception of the band."
You’ll see I’ve added a why? tag to this sentence because this also needs further explanation.
Good luck with the GAN when you get to it.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Regards,

Hi Danny. I have been going through the old GA requests. I notice you have been doing a few for music articles. I don't know if any other editors go through these, but given the date on some of themI would guess not very often. You seem like and experienced and competent editor so thought I might try and convince you to do the reassessments yourself. I would recommend going the individual route as community ones can take forever. I have just across Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose and Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and agree with you on them being a it of a quote farm. They might be good ones to start with. I can help if needed. AIRcorn (talk) 00:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi. You stated in an edit summary that Google Play only gave the track title of "One Track Mind". Erm, I'm seeing all the track titles listed here: [1]. If that source did not show them, I would have removed them before that. Ss 112 05:36, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Although the sources refer to Bawitdaba as a nu metal song (hence why the article says "associated with" rather than saying it is a nu-metal album), the general consensus is that it is not a nu-metal album. Also, I called your edits vandalism because you repeatedly removed the category "hard rock albums by American artists". Now I am not going to report you to 3RR even though you violated it because I am exhausted since Wikipedia is just a hobby, so I am trying to appeal to you to understand why your edits are wrong rather than engage in edit-warring over something that is not reflected by the sources. The album is basically like Meat Loaf's Monster is Loose where the leading track is considered to be in a nu-metal style but the album as a whole is considered to be hard rock, based on the research I've done.

@ Yeepsi: I was going to take a blink-182 list to FL, but I saw it was delisted in the past. I am new to FLs and am not really sure what they are talking about, but the delisters were pretty confident it could never be a FL. Is that accurate? I will probably go through and get all the citations good and all that anyways, but it would be nice if I could FL it. Kees08 (Talk) 21:58, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
From MMFan96, As the "Error, edit not saved." message comes up on the glam rock chat, I'll say it here. Some references aren't visible due to small loading issues (I assume) on my tablet when I visual edit, so I'll try it on my PC when I get the chance. Also, as you said, we didn't add gothic metal due to very few albums or EPs holding it on their page, so we should also remove alternative metal tbh as the only one of those it holds in the genres is Portrait.
Deprioritize it, maybe. MarilynMansonFan96 ( talk) 00:10, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

When an article is redirected then recreated, the redirect shouldn't be restored per Wikipedia:Deletion by redirection and WP:BRD. If a deletion by redirection is disputed, an attempt should be made on the talk page to reach a consensus before restoring the redirect. Also, whether or not the charting song is his own work or a featured work is irrelevant on Wikipedia. A charting song is a charting song and it is also credited to the featured artist. Please attempt to discuss next time before restoring redirects that are obviously disputed. KingAnd God 06:04, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

The dead link you referenced wasn't related to my latest change (Ivan Moody's birthday). I'm going to remove it and revert back to my changes. The only thing I can find online that gives a definitive age is an article about his arrest in Australia, as well as aggregator sites like MyLife (which I don't like to cite).

Hi Danny, see this part of the Manual of Style that says: "Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation." The key phrase there is "English-speaking country" None of the mainland European nations are English-speaking countries (i.e. they don't have English as an official language), so editors can use whichever date format they like when writing articles related to these places. Changing the date format willy-nilly is not on, however, and the initial date format is generally retained. Graham 87 14:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi there my name is Adam I'm not a signed up member of Wikipedia yet and I'm trying to add genre's to Fightstar's repertoire because as a major fan of theirs for many years now I feel as though it is worth pointing out that they're so much more then merely a Post-hardcore or Emo band which so many of Wikipedia's links would lead people to believe. They're above all an Alternative Rock and experimental rock band because they constantly evolve and try out new territories and on occasions have even taken progressive elements and added them to their sound. Yes there's no denying that Post-hardcore and an alternative variant of Metal are their most commonly associated genre's but to not include their eclectic range of other genre's which exhibits their versatility does them a great disservice, at least if you ask me. Perhaps you should actually try listening to all of their material front to back over the last 13 years of their career before assuming I don't know what I'm talking about and need some kind of reliable source of justification before you can approve the edits I've been making, if you want a source all you need to do is listen to them for yourself. If you don't think tracks like Follow Me Into The Darkness or The Whisperer warrant more then just being pigeonholed as Post-hardcore or worse still Emo then I really cannot help you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=As_I_Lay_Dying_(band)&diff=850926490&oldid=850696375 I believe that you went and looked but clearly missed the note for ever entry that discusses the content as "Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{ Flatlist}}, or {{ Hlist}}." That note reads "For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of {{ Flatlist}} or {{ Hlist}} is preferred as they offer a benefit to users of screen readers." I helped craft the documentation so I'm not mistaken. They wanted to enforce lists but they look terrible and so I strongly objected and the note was added for those who agreed with me on this matter.

Thanks for asking Sergecross73 to move the new article; it was a brilliant idea. Now if any editor has concerns about the listing of a particular band, they can fight it out in the new article without disturbing the stability of the Grunge article. Stability might help deter some of the vandalism we have seen on Grunge lately. In my opinion, Grunge would not pass another Featured Article review, and I doubt it would achieve Good Article status in its current form. It needs some help but there is no rush.

Is making full projects together as he did with Bexxy, Itsoktocry, OmenXIII, and IloveMakonnen not significant to his career? How? This is literally what the guideline of the template defines as making them notable to his career.

Hello friend,
I saw this partial revert in my notifications. Thanks for helping to improve the article. I spent a bunch of time trying to improve that article in the past and it's good to see somebody else taking an interest.
Your edit summary reads "Hold on, you're axeing The Village Voice and Joel McIver over Keyboard? I understand you're going for satisfying WP:OVERCITE but these guys > Keyboard. Partial revert, staying in line with Overcite."
This message left me feeling annoyed. If you would consider reading something to understand why I dislike this, then please check out " No feigning surprise". Your edit summary reads as surprised, and maybe you are genuinely surprised that I could choose such inferior sources to satisfy the Overcite policy, but expressing it this way just makes me feel bad about it.
