[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Madball.jpg
Image:Madball.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Genre
I have to agree with Xkillmefirstx. Thrash is sourced but allmusic is not the most accurate website when it comes to metal and hardcore, at least not the style section (every metal band more extreme than thrash metal would be "Scandinavian metal" or "death metal/black metal"). None of the album reviews mention thrash metal, hardcore however, is often mentioned. Sometimes it's better to use your ears and common sense; but even better is to look up a couple of reliable sources, as many as possible, and see what most sources say about Madball. If thrash is a prominent genre in all these sources, it may stay, otherwise it has to go.
None of the metal databases I know feature madball (f.e. metal-archives.com, metal-observer.com, bnrmetal.com etc.) probably because they are not considered metal. Rockdetector [1] only mentions hardcore. Neither Ferret record [2] nor Roadrunner [3] mention metal or thrash in their Madball bios. And last but not least: the first dozen pages of this Google search are not giving us evidence of madball being thrash.
Please don't add thrash metal. Kameejl (Talk) 20:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree 100%. Uncle Cheech (talk) 01:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- The tag "metalcore" is repeatedly added to this entry but I really feel that its really unwarranted. Madball is hardly a metalcore band. Uncle Cheech (talk) 16:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
