:glag: I can't be arsed to read any of it, but I'm sure it's hilarious.

[4play]

seems pretty fair to me. why exactly do you think its biased in some way?

[Formula1]

it defines slipknot as mallcore, which is really opinionated.

I don't see the bias you speak of, but I shouldn't worry if I were you; wikipedia is not history, after all.

Time will take care of your concerns, certainly.

Well the article doesn't hold up to the "Neutral Point of View (NPOV)" of Wikipedia.org

I once read anrticle stating how wikipedia has been losing credibility in its entries, due to issues similar ones like these.

Sure. Accusing someone of being part of a conspiracy to assassinate the president of the U.S.A and branding Slipknot a mallcore band definitely is in the same league.

I agree. A whole article and no mention that all their songs are just covers of spice girls records.

[Proper Bo]

i read it, it does seem like a very bias opinion, but to be fair, slipknot do suck bawls:dabs:

I've heard the same.

Why do you use Wikipedia?

Because i can find information on just about anything i need to know about. Answers.com is another alternative, but most of its entries are derived from wikipedia..

no worries. you've never been any good at spotting bias. :smilie4:

Hmmm.

Must be an ease-of-use marketing thingie.

I've only heard it referred to, haven't used it myself; I generally know where to look to find what I want to know.

Interestingly, when I say something like that, people assume I'm speaking of sites reflective of my own ideology (they'd be wrong, as usual); but it is ironic that Wikipedia is coming to be seen that way.

Reason, logic, experience and personal judgement become more important every day...;)

Yes, I think I will.

I find Wikipedia useful if I need to find out the height of one of WWE's wrestlers but less useful if I need to find an accurate summary of Elizabeth Gaskell's social novel North and South.

[Sid Hartha]

it defines slipknot as mallcore...

that's brilliant.


BTW, i looked at the link, but couldn't find the reference you cited. But thanks for making my day.



Mall-core.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v168/scopdom/24.gif

edit/ turns out it was edited. Good for them.

[ziggyjuarez]

Its funny how people make up words then get offended by them.

No, to abide Dave's unrelentingly foolish and unnecessary statements.

[Cheese]

What is mall-core then? First person who wikis me the answer gets a kick to their inner child's head.

[DorisInsinuate]

Music you get in the middle, the centre, the heart of a mall.

[Leeson]

I didnt see where it mentioned anything called "mallcore" it gives the genre as alternative metal / nu metal.... the only other thing it does mention is the debate as to which genre category their music does fit into.

And where is it being biased against them?
