| style="width:61%; color:#000;" | Our goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band archive, period. There are tons of great bands that go unnoticed in other wiki's due to outrageous stipulations. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles ''Like here!''] '''''That is purely ridiculous...''''' Alot of really good bands do not qualify due to one or more of those ''guidelines'', so they are penalized. And on ''another snobbish Wiki'', it's editors can be real sticklers about their ''suggest guidelines for acceptance'' to their precious Wiki. Why? Well, not here. Granted, we are not out to be a '''''local band repository''''', but if a band is good and noteworthy, they should be mentioned. <big>So, ''why'' is YOUR band not yet listed?</big> *Any bands ''can'' be added here, but only if they are METAL and GOOD.<!-- by an [http://metalbandwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop Administrator]. The admin must hear said band and then will decide if they should be included.-->*Add your band and releases. ''(but don't get pissy if we remove it. '''Odds are we won't''', but we might)'' <B>Thanks to a recent spamming asshole, this is no longer a public wiki, in which you can just register and immediately edit/vandalize articles.</B> ''Unfortunately from now on, to contribute you'll have to '''REGISTER'''''.

In other words, because all of out contributors absolutely love metal, there will be no conflicts of interest here. ::''I.E., (1) some [[hip hop]] buffoon that hates all but hip hop, and feels that '''Thrash Band X''' has no place in their Wiki, cause they ain't dope crack dealer thugs like Fitty, and cites the page due to the'' '''''suggest guidelines for acceptance'''''. ::''Or, (2), some Julliard snob cites that "Metal" is not a real form of music because they feel it is technically inferior to their standards'' ''and suggested the article for deletion''.
