Orphaned references in Contradictions Collapse[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Contradictions Collapse's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genres[edit]

Hi, I don't think alternative metal should be a genre listed so I am giving a week for any comments and then I will remove it. Lukejordan02 (talk) 02:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[taken from my talk page] I think Allmusic defines alternative metal differently from Wikipedia, here on Wikipedia it's defined as heavier, more experimental grunge/alternative rock music from the early 90s, while on Allmusic nu metal, groove metal and alternative metal are usually defined as the exact same thing

On the Allmusic alternative metal page it explains "At its outset, alternative metal was a style united by its nonconformist sensibility rather than any immediately classifiable sound. Heavy metal was at the core of the music, but the bands were too offbeat and their influences too eclectic to fit into the thrash underground" while on the page for this album they state "In contrast to their later, more progressive-oriented work, the album generally falls into the alternative metal category, with ultra-heavy riffs and hints of hip-hop or industrial dance in the drum patterns." They must regard this album as alternative metal since it didn't quite fit into the thrash metal underground with it's eccentric influences, while at the same time not quite being progressive metal either.

The guidelines recommend as few genres as possible so I think Thrash Metal & Progressive Metal should be more than enough to cover it because if we keep Alternative Metal then why not add Jazz Fusion and so on and then where does it end? Lukejordan02 (talk) 03:13, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The source is pretty explicit: "the album generally falls into the alternative metal category". You don't get much more blatant than that, and Allmusic is considered reliable on Wikipedia (per WP:ALBUM/SOURCES). I don't see a good reason to remove it, especially since it's the only thing in this article that is actually sourced (and in fact, it contradicts "progressive metal"). I'm sure there are other sources out there that talk about the album's thrash metal, and possibly about progressive metal (although I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't, seeing as this album wasn't all that "progressive"). But no, I don't think "alternative metal" should be removed. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 03:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
