This article seems accurate while being having wonky writing in places and the typical Wikipedia lack of focus. In general though, Wikipedia can never be considered a proper academic source of information as long as they continue with their current system.
Accurate about Black Metal? What do you think?

The standard position I've heard about wikipedia is one I completely agree on: as an academic site it's laughable, but as a site to learn about new subjects...it's top notch.
It would be nice if they could turn that site into a professional encyclopedia...or at least make a sister site that is one.

The owner was on 60 minutes or one of those 1 hour news shows not too long ago and he is in talks with going public and such. Don't remember the gist of it anymore but I'm sure it can be googled if you google his name.
As for the accuracy on Wiki... whatever you read on there can be independently verified on other sites. But this BM one seems to be pretty much accurate with minor mistakes if any. btw I always have heard akercocke as described as blackened death <shrugs>

I remember when I was first getting into metal Wikipedia was very helpful to me. That article looks even better than when I first came upon it.

Blah Akercocke isn't a black metal band even though their album covers are styled like a black metal album cover, their death metal, kinda technicalish sounding also.
Yeah, I've read that article before, it seemed very accurate giving good examples of bands and the ideology and what makes black metal what it is, I liked it. 
Maybe someone cookie cut it and rewrote alot of it
Anyways as for Akercocke... would you peeps consider them black/death or just strictly DM?

There are some really shitty articles out there, but this one is solid and informative.

black metal is what you want it to be.... if you believe Cradle of Filth is the ultimate black metal bands..... fine for you, but taste and vision differs for everyone.
