Yesterday, after trying to set up a new page, to reflect my band's name change and new demo, it was rejected. Upon closer inspection, I realized that someone who isn't in my band, and that I don't even know, has already submitted one, completely without my knowledge.

Not sure as to why, but this GraveWish guy is absolutely not authorized to be doing this. I am the guitarist and founding member, and only I, or my bandmates, should be in control of our page.

Please help me correct this oversight, by returning control of the page to it's rightful place.

Metal Archives is a user controlled site. All data is editable by any user with a registered account. Also, why are you complaining that someone basically set up your page for you?

We are a neutral user based database for metal bands. Everyone can enter data or add bands.
We're not your personal promo space or social media channel.

Well, he got some of the info wrong, and that's not the band photo I wanted on the page. Makes more sense to me, to let actual band members update their own shit, instead of some random jackass, who doesn't know all the details.

There is a report function on each band's page to report or suggest changes to be made. I'd hardly call someone who's added over 4,500 bands to this site a random jackass.

Unfortunately, Metallica won't update their Metal Archives entry :(

However, we appreciate that they don't come here to insult editors.
