== Some observations ==

Hello. You seem to do some editing like me... just random things on wiki but please look out for "bare" citations. You can see these in the References section just as a plain links. I think I came across some done by you.. and there is an easy way to do citations. It's in the [[Help:Edit_toolbar]]. Click "Cite", and if it's a website then click, "Cite web". Paste the link in the URL spot and then click the magnifying glass. it will fill the details for you.

Also, if you come across pages with this, there's a tool I use: [http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/reflinks.py Reflinks] where you just copy and paste the wiki article link in it and click Go. It will do it all for you.. but of course if you are citing an article, the above method is preferred. 

Brush on and/or bookmark the [[MOS:ALBUM]] album style guide to get a better feel for what order the subheaders should go in.. I am finding a lot of articles that are in weird orders [not  your doing, I'm just saying be on the look out so you can fix a bunch of things at once]

This message is not meant to be taken accusatory or rudely by any means. I am just trying to be helpful and for all I know, you could already know how to do all this. if so, then disregard

Thanks and please use the ping function so I get a notification of your reply. --[[User:Jennica|<span style="background-color:orange">''Jennica''</span>]]<span style="background-color:#00E155">✿</span><sup>[[User_talk:Jennica| talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Jennica|contribs]]</sup> 14:06, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

I really like how you fixed up the musical style section on [[Panic! at the Disco]]. I've been wanting to get rid of all those ridiculous genres listed for each album, but never knew how to replace/tweak it because it looked like such a major part in that section. Thanks.

== In Bloom Neck Deep ==

I just wanted to thank you loads for helping on the In Bloom song so that it wouldn't be deleted - I had no idea how to fix it.

BTW TØP's Tear in my heart was there because I copied that info to try to get it like that on In Bloom but it failed. [[User:WikiEditsAnnon2|WikiEditsAnnon2]] ([[User talk:WikiEditsAnnon2|talk]]) 23:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

== In Bloom Neck Deep sources ==

I don't know if it's useful, but I found a source mentioning about In Bloom having frequent radio play. If that helps. But not found much about charts for it. Or any of neck deep's singles. I will look for that source tho [[User:WikiEditsAnnon2|WikiEditsAnnon2]] ([[User talk:WikiEditsAnnon2|talk]]) 23:20, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

I used own musical ability to get the chord progression for In Bloom.

==Genre edit on Bennington==
Please do not add content to an article that is unsourced. Genres, like anything require sources. I'm sure you are familiar with [[WP:OR]] and [[WP:RS]]. To top it off, per [[WP:SUBJECTIVE]], "Wikipedia articles about art and other creative topics (e.g., musicians, actors, books, etc.) have a tendency to become effusive. This is out of place in an encyclopedia. Aesthetic opinions are diverse and subjective—we might not all agree about who the world's greatest soprano is. However, it is appropriate to note how an artist or a work has been received by prominent experts and the general public. For instance, the article on Shakespeare should note that he is widely considered to be one of the greatest authors in the English language. Articles should provide an overview of the common interpretations of a creative work, preferably with citations to experts holding that interpretation. Verifiable public and scholarly critiques provide useful context for works of art.". In other words, things like genre, which are artistic interpretations on work, require a source. Those genres are not sourced in the prose, so they were removed. Any further thoughts on this are welcome, but maybe let's stick them to the page on the singer. [[User:Andrzejbanas|Andrzejbanas]] ([[User talk:Andrzejbanas|talk]]) 17:37, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
: {{Reply to|Andrzejbanas}} Yes I am aware of [[WP:OR]] and [[WP:RS]]. That edit was a mistake and I shouldn't have recklessly reverted your edit. I'm going to find sources for those genres since they are prominent genres in his career.

: {{Reply to|FunksBrother}} Yes but the more I look at the source, the more it seems like it is not the best source. But it looks like, sadly, that he did die today. If you search his name you'll see alot of people mourning his loss on Twitter, even his mom confirmed it. And yes I know Twitter isn't a reliable source but if that many people are mouring his death, than it must have actually happened.

== Van Morrison, U2 and Jon Gibson via lists articles... ==

Hello, I have a question. In the spirit of being fair and following all Wikipedia policies, as with [[Twenty One Pilots]], do you believe it's appropriate to keep [[Van Morrison]] (with a Rolling Stone source that doesn't confirm he is doing Christian rock because he doesn't nor does he even consider himself a Christian which is moot) and [[U2]] on the [[List of Christian rock bands]]? These are secular musicians. My argument is as with adding [[Jon Gibson (Christian musician)|Jon Gibson]] on the [[List of Christian hip hop artists]] to prove a point (someone who did rap in the past so the years he was active in hip hop could be added behind his name as is done on other list articles), I was told adding "citation required" after his name is not allowed and he had to be removed from the list yet that was accepted on the 'list of Christian rock bands' (there wasn't a consensus to keep Gibson yet there is a consensus to remove U2 on the 'list of Christian rock bands' but U2 and VM's name remains on the list with weak sources). This makes no sense and seems to be deliberate. Being prejudice that i'm using an IP instead of an account is why their judgment is clouded in my opinion. Others aren't warned for edit warring so I thought i'd bring some new eyes/minds into the matter to avoid conflict. Would you be so kind as to read the talk pages for 'list of Christian rock bands' and 'list of Christian hip hop artists' please? For that matter, [[Dolly Parton]] isn't a Christian country singer (even if she's Christian or sang gospel-related songs in the past) yet was added on the list for that as well. I just want to point out their discrepancies/hypocrisy without me getting involved again since the back-and-forth with only one editor is useless. I give up on defending myself and I don't want to add to the pre-existing disruptions/violations/vandalism of others. There are so many issues with those articles that i'm just wanting/trying to fix. Thank you for your time/input/assistance!

== About Ghost ==

About Ghost, where's the source stating that they are pop rock? There's like no citation next to it and that makes it look more like someone put in some false info. I'm just wondering because it just seems a little sketchy to me.
: {{Reply to|73.240.105.138}} The sources for the genres are in the [[Ghost (Swedish band) #Musical style and influences|Musical style and influences]] section of the article for Ghost. You will see that pop rock is supported by three sources. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 15:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

== Weezer Associated Acts ==

You reverted my edit to the Weezer page wherein I added Weird Al Yankovic to the associated acts.
Weird Al does work and play with them, he toured with the group and recently was a part of the music video for their cover of Africa by Toto.
Surely this would qualify him as an associated act? [[User:IronBridge|IronBridge]] ([[User talk:IronBridge|talk]]) 20:50, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

== Incorrectly Capitalizing Genres ==

Ok. I received your message regarding my edits. Where exactly are the guidelines for capitalization, and where does it say that the edits I made were examples of incorrect capitalization? For example, if one of the genres listed is "rock" with a lowercase r, but the wiki page is "Rock" with a capital R, then why should the genre be listed as "rock"? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jgriffy98|Jgriffy98]] ([[User talk:Jgriffy98#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jgriffy98|contribs]]) 04:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

You also mentioned "unsourced genres", but none of the other genres have citations of any kind.

:{{Reply to|Jgriffy98}} Here: [[Template:Infobox musical artist]]. Under the genre section it says, "Most genres are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. However, the first word in a list of multiple genres should be capitalized." Hopefully this clears things up. Also, please sign your messages by typing 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or copying and pasting them. Put the 4 tildes at the end of your message to automatically sign it. Also about genres and sources, the genres are sourced in the [[Maroon 5 #Musical style and influences|Musical style and influences]] section of the article because is preferred to do it that way instead of sourcing the genres in the infobox.

::Yes, it does. Thank you. I just had one more question in regards to my edits. Given that “pop rock” is one of the genres listed on the page, wouldn’t “rock” be rather self-evident? Pop-rock is a subgenre of rock music, so wouldn’t pop-rock bands, albums, and songs also fall under that category?[[User:Jgriffy98|Jgriffy98]] ([[User talk:Jgriffy98|talk]]) 04:50, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

::::{{Reply to|Jgriffy98}} Sorry, that was bad word choice on my part. Again, with [[Template:Infobox musical artist]], under the genre section, it says, "Genres that are sourced in the article itself do not require a source in the infobox, but sometimes it can be useful to have the source listed again anyway, to help prevent edit warring." Genres can be sourced in the infobox but typically a musical style is created so the infobox doesn't get cluttered with sources.

:{{ping|Jgriffy98}} Actually brother, pop rock is different thing than rock though it is a subgenre of the latter.

== About Maroon 5 ==

I had already said in my edit summary there that before reverting go and read the discussion on talk page but you didn't. Anyways, now please go and read that and also i want to tell you that maroon 5 singer has himself admitted that he doesnt makes rock, rock is nowhere and if anywhere it is, then he hasnt attended the party. You can't write their old genres on wikipedia. Also i have a reference to prove that. 
[[User:HardSunBadMoon|HardSunBadMoon]] ([[User talk:HardSunBadMoon|talk]]) 04:16, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|HardSunBadMoon}} Yeah, I know. But all of the genres on Maroon 5's page are sourced. It doesn't matter if Adam Levine says they don't play rock music. They did in their early career. I reverted your edit becuase you removed sourced genres. If you want to re-add your genres, with sources, then go ahead. But don't remove sourced genres. Also, we can list genres that the band was once know for playing. Sources call their early material pop rock and their new material pop. Don't remove genres just becuase the lead singer says they don't play that genre of music. To put it bluntly, Wikipedia doesn't really care what the artist thinks. Wikipedia goes by reliable sources. Also, why are you using a different account? [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 04:26, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

:::{{ping|HardSunBadMoon}} I agree. I'll admit that the genres for Maroon 5 aren't 100 percent accurate and could use some tweaking. You can add any genres you as long as you have a source to support it. Add the genres to musical style section, but not the infobox, and we can reach a full consensus latter so we don't over stuff the infobox.

The author in that explains how some of their songs were in start pop rock but then turned into pop like Harder to breath vs Sugar.

== YUNGBLUD and Halsey (associated acts) ==

(Edited) Why don’t one time collaborations count? [[Halsey (singer)|Halsey]] has heavily impacted [[Yungblud|YUNGBLUD]]'s career. Under the template for musicial artists, in the section for associated acts it says "This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career" and she has been for him. [[User:Sawhitney36|Sawhitney36]] ([[User talk:Sawhitney36|talk]]) 23:35, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

== Blink-182's self-titled/untitled discussion ==

Hi, Bowling. I am the anonymous guy that has been adding some sort of information that I think the wiki page for the aforementioned album [[Blink-182 (album)|Blink-182]] deserves to hold. I admit I'm wrong with the subject matter that implies me in putting some music genres without any kind of source, I have the link but never knew how to put them in it. I am new to this community and I couldn't find a way on how to put the source where it's being said that the album summarizes in punk rock and post-punk, which are the genres I've been putting lately in the page. I'd like to apologize if there was any confusion or to beliefs about me trying to vandalize the page. This is the page I wanted to cite as the source. Hope you understand, sorry for the inconveniences.

{{Reply|179.52.175.117}} No problem. You can either add the source to the infobox or in the composition section of the article. It looks like you have the source correctly formatted. All you have to do is add it. You can just copy and paste is. No need to apologize as your edits seem to be in good faith and you are new. Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello. The Cranberries are not a pure rock band nor a classic rock band, they classify themselves as an alternative rock band and it's written on their Facebook "Genre: Alternative/Rock". They mix various elements such as folk, post-punk, indie rock, jangle pop and they produced themselves their album with Stephen Street. 
Also, The Cranberries disbanded in '''2019''' after the release of their posthumous album ''In The End'' on April 2019, it was official. Dolores O'Riordan had died on January 15, '''2018'''. Between the day of her death and the day of the disbanding of the band, the remaining musicians were working of this album. It's on the media, on their Facebook.

Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#In talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[WP:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]], rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors.

: {{Reply|Ohnoitsjamie}} It's how it's done on most articles. If the genres are sourced in the musical style section, it doesn't make sense to also source the genres in the infobox. It is recommended to keep sources out of the infobox if possible. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 21:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
:: {{Reply|Ohnoitsjamie}}[[WP:INFOBOXREF]] says "references are acceptable in some cases, but generally not needed in infoboxes if the content is repeated (and cited) elsewhere or if the information is obvious."

i am just trying to use your rationale on the van halen page for descartes.

presumably your argument is that eddied's accomplishments were primarily through the american rock band van halen, and thus he should be referred to as american, right?

well, how does a similar rationale not apply to descartes? all of his work was in the netherlands and yet he's called french...

== Edit (Revert) leading to misleading Discography section ==

Hi, You reverted an edit I made to alert readers that the "Discography" section in the main "Pink Floyd" article includes only the 15 studio albums (they being the source of (almost) all new creative material), and not any of the 50 other "derivative" issued discs (3 "live albums", 9 "compilation albums", 5 "box sets", 6 EPs, 27 singles (only 4 of which are not album material), etc.). These numbers come from the separate complete article on "Pink Floyd Discography", and in fact the summary Discography in the main "Pink Floyd" article is currently identical to the "Studio Albums" section of the full discography article.

Can you please explain your justification for returning the section heading to the misleading un-qualified state ?

== [[After Hours (The Weeknd album)]] ==

Hi, I recently reverted (twice) your addition of "electropop" to the genres of After Hours in its infobox. As per [[WP:EXPLICITGENRES]], we required the genre of the work/album explicitly stated. [https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/9339446/the-weeknd-after-hours-every-song-ranked The source you cited] does not call the album 'electropop'. It ambiguously calls so "other" tracks (without pertaining to the number of tracks). Therefore, it doesn't qualify as a genre for the whole album. Have a great day. [[User:BawinV|BawinV]] ([[User talk:BawinV|talk]]) 07:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
: {{Reply|BawinV}} Why did you revert it a second time? I clearly added a different source the second time I added this genre. This source seems to support the genre better.

The docs of template indicate at the start of the associated acts part that "This field is for professional relationships with other notable musicians or bands that are significant to this artist's career."

Hi! Talking about Ed Sheeran, the source says "elements of folk, hip-hop, pop, dance, soul, and rock can be heard in his big hits "The A Team," "Sing," "Thinking Out Loud," and "Shape of You"". I personally find It quite far from a statement like "Sheeran Is an hip hop artist", plus other genres listed the same way as hip hop, on the same source/sentence, are not reported in the article.

{{hat|Closing discussion per [[WP:EVADE]].}}
That source Is not enough, because It defines him an R&B Singer on the project.

You reverted my recent addition of the "alternative cover" at [[Eternal Blue (album)]]. I was just trying to help because of someone else's concern at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums]] (November 15 thread). Either way, you included two reasons for the reversion and neither makes sense. Broke the infobox? This version: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternal_Blue_(album)&oldid=1058302355] looks completely functional to me. The image is also not a violation of Non-Free Content Criteria because it is a retail item and qualifies as Fair Use ([[WP:NFCI]]). Meanwhile, multiple covers are common and the system is set up for it, as seen in the "Advanced Usage" section at [[:Template:Infobox album]]. If you choose to revert someone's attempted improvement of the article, so be it but your explanation needs to be more accurate. ---<span style="font-family: Calibri">[[User:doomsdayer520|<b style="color:#66CDAA"><small>DOOMSDAYER</small>520</b>]]<small> ([[User talk:Doomsdayer520|TALK]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Doomsdayer520|CONTRIBS]]) </small></span> 15:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

::The "non-free" issue was temporary for a few hours, and it happens with most incoming images of album covers if they are larger (pixel length x width) than a certain size. That in turn is caused by whatever source the image came from. But WP has an automated system to reduce the image size in the background, and it happens pretty quickly.

== Question about horrorcore ==

Hiya Bowlingislife, I came to ask a question. I noticed you reverted an inclusion I made on [[The Silver Scream 2]], in which you removed horrorcore. I added a source where I was specifically looking for hard rock, and in the article [https://www.metalepidemic.com/ice-nine-kills-the-silver-scream-2-welcome-to-horrorwood/] I stumbled across horrorcore as a specific genre included in the summary from this reliable source. I decided to add this as well as hard rock and post-hardcore. I've seen the Wikipedia article for it before, you said it wasn't accurate even though the source specifically states it. In the context of the album, a subgenre of hip hop doesn't make sense especially when they talk about the genre of horrorcore being in the context of horror-themed hardcore music. It would sure at least warrant a mention in the article, it only so happens that the horrorcore article says something completely different. Other sites such as here [https://therazorsedge.rocks/2021-10-album-ice-nine-kill/][https://heavymag.com.au/ice-nine-kills-embrace-the-psychos/] have also referred to Ice Nine Kills as horrorcore, so the mention in the article makes sense. Though because genres should have hyperlinks, what would be done about this inclusion even though the statement of the horrorcore article says differently? These say them in the context of the genre, I suppose it could be up to interpretation as we aren't music journalists, though what do you overall think of this? Many thanks.

: {{Reply|Rockmusicfanatic20}} We can mention the genre in the body of the article but I don't think it would be appropriate for the infobox. Maybe we could link it to the horror punk page like this: [[Horror punk|horrorcore]]. Putting horrorcore in the infobox just would not be appropriate because it is a hip hop genre. The source is obviously not referring to the hip hop genre. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 01:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

== MxPx ==

Please explain why you undid all my changes in MxPx, I am working to fix inaccuracies in representation on this page as directed by the band and their immediate team. There are multiple errors included in this Wikipedia page that demand attention, and my edits are not malicious or trying to misrepresent in any way. I have even provided sources and new citations to keep this page current and updated with their most recent accomplishments. I do understand the genre specification and will leave that in, but the rest of my edits should not have been removed where we added in the bands accomplishments up until the present. [[User:Wtfsteph|Wtfsteph]] ([[User talk:Wtfsteph|talk]]) 21:21, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I just fixed the edits back and did an undo on the GENRE specific portion of my edits. I hope this suffices as there is no longer a change on Genre. 

However, I would like to discuss the rules behind this - as it is a sensitive topic to designate a religion to someone that they do not identify with. How is this handled for other public figures that change their religion or gender over time? How does that get adjusted and fixed? What sources do I need to provide? Thank you. [[User:Wtfsteph|Wtfsteph]] ([[User talk:Wtfsteph|talk]]) 21:31, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
: Apologies to as this discussion should be happening on the article's talk page, but new editors. Feel free to move it to there if if you'd like. 
: {{ping|Wtfsteph}} I can explain it. There are many problems with your content. For instance {{diff|MxPx|1070710665|1070710316|in this edit}} that reads "continues to tour the world on their own terms". The source you supplied is 12 years old. That does not address their current situation in any sense of the term. Also, it flies wildly in the face of [[:WP:PEACOCK]]. There were violations of [[:MOS:HEADING]], [[:MOS:PUNCT]], [[:MOS:LINKING]], [[:WP:OVERLINK]] and a number of other editing manuals of style and guidelines. In {{diff|MxPx|1070684655|1070681233|this edit}}, you add a category for albums to an article about a band, you remove correct formatting, and so many, many other problems. I suggest you take it slow and try to make small edits. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 06:10, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
{{ping|Walter Görlitz}} Thank you for your kind and thoughtful discussion. The original comment to me was pretty aggressive, and yes this is my first time editing and trying this on my own so I really appreciate the help. I will take your feedback to heart and try to correct everything. I do want to add the most current updates up until the present, I referenced many songs and events that the band participated in with current and relevant articles. The 12 year old article was referencing the band going independent, which still remains their current situation to this day, but I will correct that with a more current representation. This has been my job over the last year, trying to correct, source, and update the inaccuracies on this page. So I don't take it lightly and really appreciate the help.

: {{Reply|Bowling is life}} Thank you for your kind words as well. I understand this page is pretty frustrating, as fans have seemingly been the ones to update it for years now and I AM very aware of the back and forth arguments about religion and such. However, the band is entering their 30th year this year and preparing for a new album, but this page wildly misrepresents them and reads as if they shut down operations long ago, despite them being pioneers of live streaming throughout the pandemic, releasing several new songs, curating an entire event series through the pandemic, and new live albums. It also is missing a lot of factual information that can be found elsewhere like IMDB on the band's extensive TV, video game, and movie history. They are a much bigger staple in American pop culture than this page represents, and it's become a pain for the PR team to have to correct journalists who are utilizing outdated or incorrect information. I'm hoping to fix all this and make sure it's accurate and up to date so that when the band promotes their next album, people don't get the facts wrong. That has happened many times in the past as folks tend to reference Wikipedia before anything else. I just want to emphasize that everything I am working on is communicated to and approved by the band themselves and with the best of intentions. Thank you again for your help!

== [[MOS:GOODHEAD]] ==

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that I undid your revision that incorrectly uses bold markup for headings at [[Impera]]. Per [[MOS:GOODHEAD]], bold markup should only be used as a last resort, and only because you've run out of subheadings. Since that isn't the case here, I have fixed it again. Just because other album articles also incorrectly use bold markup doesn't mean it should be repeated here. Thanks.

== In This Moment edit ==

Classifying In This Moment as a rock band instead of an alternative metal band is a matter of opinion, not a fact. They have been classified as alternative metal by numerous music publications and outlets. Their Apple Music bio also lists them as a metal act. I made the necessary updates to correct this, and you reverted my edit. Could you provide clarity on this? [[Special:Contributions/2601:2C4:C481:66B0:58B4:2827:C6F7:D004|2601:2C4:C481:66B0:58B4:2827:C6F7:D004]] ([[User talk:2601:2C4:C481:66B0:58B4:2827:C6F7:D004|talk]]) 17:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
:: {{Reply|2601:2C4:C481:66B0:58B4:2827:C6F7:D004}} The lead genre is supposed to be broad, not specific. How is calling them rock wrong? All of the genres they are described as are rock genres. Metal is a genre of rock music. We can't just call them alternative metal in the lead because they are described as many other genres. That's why we keep the lead genre broad. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 18:18, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

That’s the thing, alternative metal is a broad term. Specific would be calling them an “Industrial Metal band”. Regardless of that, your perception of whether or not the lead genre was broad enough or not irrelevant when the band refers to themselves as an alt-metal band. You may not understand the difference but there is indeed a difference. The artists/band understand these differences is why they make it a point to say what they are and we as consumers have to respect that. By changing their genre you have inadvertently changed their Google Knowledge Panel. Now when someone googles them, they come up as a rock band which is inaccurate and misleading.

== In This Moment revision ==

Yes, the lead genre should be broad, but this is where you are wrong. Alternative metal is a broad, all encompassing term for different sub-genres of metal music (nu metal, gothic metal, industrial metal, electronic metal). The genre box on the wiki article lists all metal sub-genres. The opening statement of very first article link that is listed in the “Musical Style and influences”  section classifies them as an “alt-metal act” as well as many other publications. 

Following your logic, you would have to go through and change the lead genre from metal to rock for every single metal band with a wiki page. Every metal or alt-metal such as bands like Slipknot, Metallica, Korn etc has done much softer music, but that does not make them a “rock” band. Take a band like Slipknot for example. They have many songs that can be classified as hard rock, soft rock, and gothic rock but classifying them as a “rock band” would be incorrect because that isn’t indicative of their overall feel and sound. They are undeniably a metal act. The same goes for In This Moment. They themselves have stated in many RECENT interviews that they are indeed a metal band. If we are going to make sure that the information provided on these wiki pages are as accurate as possible then we need to understand the intricacies of these genres and artists. We have to be consistent with the bands as well as the media publications and outlets.

== Your editing is becoming disruptive ==

You do not need to unnecessarily change an artist’s genre. The only time the genre in the info box should change, is if the artists acknowledges a shift in their primary genre. An artist’s overall body of work indicates their primary genre, not a few styles that they may experimented with throughout the years. For example, Lady Gaga has done songs that has a country influence, but that doesn’t make her a country music artists…she’s without a doubt pop artist. Genre’s and sub-genres exist for a reason and you seem to be having trouble grasping the concept. [[User:Sylense night|Sylense night]] ([[User talk:Sylense night|talk]]) 06:20, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

== Whitman or Boston re: Poppy ==

I'm curious why you removed the ExploreTalent source for [[Poppy (entertainer)|Poppy's]] birthplace being Whitman? What makes that "not a good source"? I know some other sources list her birthplace as "Boston" but its worth noting that that may simply be because Whitman is a suburb of Boston, in the same way that a lot of articles will say Matt Damon is from Boston even though he's actually from Cambridge (plus only one of the sources actually mentions the city of Boston specifically; the other simply says "the Boston area" and the third doesn't mention it at all). I would assume that the source with a more specific location would be more likely to be accurate; if the source indicates that Poppy is from Whitman then why should it be disregarded? Thanks, [[User:VSatire|VSatire]] ([[User talk:VSatire|talk]]) 06:02, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
::Following up on this; if there are at least a handful of sources indicating that she lived in Whitman for part of her youth then why should those be disregarded?

: {{Reply|VSatire}} I didn't mean to cause an edit war. I should have explained myself better. It is completely fine to mention that she lived in Whitman. You just need a better source than Disogs. Disogs is considered to be an unreliable source according to [[WP:RSPSOURCES]] because it is a user generated site. I found another article from The Boston Globe (a reliable source) that says she was born in Boston. I haven't been able to find any better sources for Whitman. Do you have anymore?

:: No worries, I understand what you mean. I wasn't aware Discogs was considered unrelible; that's my mistake. Most of the other sources that mention Whitman cite back to her ExploreTalent page; to my knowledge that isn't user generated and can only be created by the person themselves (I could be mistaken though). But the majority of sources that I've seen do just say Boston or the Boston area, so I suppose it is possible that the Whitman claims might be mistaken. I'll try to see if I can find any more.

== "Doesn't look right on mobile" ==

Hi Bowling is life. If list formatting isn't displaying correctly on mobile and you are concerned about it "not looking right", that is absolutely something you should be raising at (and I would encourage you to raise at) [[Template talk:Infobox album]]. Employing local workarounds on topics you edit/are interested in instead of raising what is apparently a wider problem is not going to get anything solved. Please tell the editors who can code a fix about it at the infobox's talk page without restoring formatting [[Template:Infobox album]] explicitly tells editors not to use anymore. Also, I don't see the point for nowrap templates most of the time, so I have removed your addition of it. It's really not an issue to have a name split on two lines—it has to happen in some places. The infobox or whichever table names are listed in can't always be ultra-wide to compensate for a couple of names or genre names being split up. If one hovers the link, they can see the full linked name anyway. It's not confusing or an inconvenience really at all. The formatting thing though sounds like it is, so I encourage you to try to get something done about it where it counts. <b>[[User:Ss112|<span style="color: #FF6347;">Ss</span>]]<small>[[User talk:Ss112|<span style="color: #1E90FF;">112</span>]]</small></b> 17:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
:Also, I just want to point out that you are the first editor I have seen point this out and use (or reinstate) flatlist formatting for this reason. That's not to say nobody else has raised it or is not having the same issue (I can clearly see/delineate the separate items on mobile), but I would think if this is such a widespread issue for mobile users we'd be seeing a lot more people trying to go the local workaround route like you've done. I would raise it at the infobox talk page then go from there, as this might be an overall infobox issue for mobile that template editors can work towards correcting across the site (and it would be important too, as a lot of readers use Wikipedia on mobile nowadays). <b>[[User:Ss112|<span style="color: #FF6347;">Ss</span>]]<small>[[User talk:Ss112|<span style="color: #1E90FF;">112</span>]]</small></b> 18:05, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

I struggle to find how my edit was not constructive and I do not need to read the policy again when my edit is fully within fairness and all the evidence needed is that Gerard Way has stated that he does not believe his band is emo and actually despises the term.

: {{Reply|RhinoNutts505}} Whether an artist agrees with the genre they are labeled with doesn't affect the infobox genres. Wikipedia goes by what reliable sources say. There are reliable sources in the musical style section of the article that call them emo. Therefore the genre can be included in the infobox. Saying that Gerard Way has stated that MCR are not emo is not a valid reason to remove emo from the infobox. While Gerard disagreeing with the band being labeled as emo is mentioned in the musical style section, it doesn't mean we can't include emo in the infobox. Also see: [[Wikipedia:Genre warrior]] and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. Just know that on Wikipedia, genre are based in reliable sources, not what the artist thinks. I hope this clears things up.

I also tried to make another option: "American heavy metal band" will be in the introductory sentence in all the pages related to the band.

== Discography citations and infobox formatting ==

Hi Bowling. As you might remember me telling you a few months ago that after you pointed out that without flat list formatting bullet point-listed items bled into one another in infoboxes on mobile, I asked if a template editor could alter the code so the items display the item-separating interpuncts correctly on mobile. The interpuncts display correctly on desktop and mobile without the flat list formatting being present, so you don't need to still hardcode the formatting in the infobox. Also, I noticed that you were the one who added citations to [[Paramore discography]]. While I don't think anybody has an issue with more sources being present and I know you edit discographies fairly regularly, you might agree that most editors aren't really going to say that citations are required on discographies for albums and singles when they (all) have articles that prove they are indeed albums and singles. Unless the title itself is contentious, the citations are usually better placed next to the release date, which is generally a more contentious thing and gets fiddled with more regularly, so I've moved the citations there. <b>[[User:Ss112|<span style="color: #FF6347;">Ss</span>]]<small>[[User talk:Ss112|<span style="color: #1E90FF;">112</span>]]</small></b> 13:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

== Removal of content on Blur ==

No offense, but why are you so defensive on keeping the new content added on Blur? Blur's article only had alternative rock, Britpop and indie rock in the infobox, never had a music genre and influences section in the article and didn't have additional categories at the bottom of the article. Blur's article should go back the way it used to be before all that new content, save the band members section, came in. [[Special:Contributions/2601:407:4100:87A0:4057:2557:7318:4C3B|2601:407:4100:87A0:4057:2557:7318:4C3B]] ([[User talk:2601:407:4100:87A0:4057:2557:7318:4C3B|talk]]) 22:28, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
: {{Reply|2601:407:4100:87A0:4057:2557:7318:4C3B}} None taken. I added the musical style section a while back because genres need to be sourced and Blur's article is a "good article". Good articles are never perfect and I added the musical style section to improve it further. I am not being defensive, I am just letting you know that removing content without a good reason could lead to you getting blocked and I don't want that to happen. The musical style section is properly sourced and removing it will not improve the article. I have yet to hear a good reason why it should be removed.

== Rearranging citation parameters to your personal preference ==

Hello. I don't know [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=This_Is_Why_(song)&diff=prev&oldid=1114120479 why you rearranged citation parameters], but it appears having the author parameters first is your preference. I started that article and I didn't have them in that order. I've seen you do this on other articles. If you can do that on those articles and the creators of those articles don't care or notice, fine, but please don't do it on articles I started, let alone rearrange citations you didn't even add. The author's first name doesn't even ''appear'' first, it appears after their surname in the final output, therefore your personal preference is just as valid as mine, but the original order should be stuck to if anything. Nobody's forcing you to conform your citations in what you add, but please don't rearrange pre-existing citations just for personal preference. Thanks. <b>[[User:Ss112|<span style="color: #FF6347;">Ss</span>]]<small>[[User talk:Ss112|<span style="color: #1E90FF;">112</span>]]</small></b> 06:04, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

:: {{Reply|Ss112}} Sorry for the late response. Your message got buried in the mess that is my talk page. I didn't realize I was causing trouble when I was making those edits. I was trying to make the citations look cleaner. I wasn't changing the order because of preference, I was just trying to help other editors by making the code look more organized. When the citations all look different in the code it just looks messy and unorganized. I only do this if I notice that an article need a lot of work done (like needing more sources or information). Some examples of where I did this are: [[Dan + Shay]], [[In This Moment]], and [[Tallah]]. I did a complete overhaul of clean up for those article because of missing information and sources. While I was doing that I figured I'd might as well clean up the citations that were there while I was at it. These articles barely had any citations to begin with. For the majority of the articles I stumble across, I don't even bother doing this because I don't want to step on any toes and I don't have that much time. I only do it to articles I am adding additional sources and information to. I will keep it to a minimum as you said because I don't want any trouble over something so trivial. I'll also stop changing cite magazine to cite web. I didn't know that was an issue. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 21:27, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

== Please don't unnecessarily revert removals of Wikidata-retrieved parameters. ==

Wikipedia's infobox logic was recently updated to internally retrieve certain parameters via Wikidata, a sister project of Wikipedia that stores various values and parameters; and can show that information on Wikipedia pages. That is why I removed the subscriber parameter from the infobox on [[Jacksepticeye]]. - [[User:Evelyn Marie|Evelyn Marie]] ([[User_talk:Evelyn Marie|leave a message]] · [[Special:Contributions/Evelyn Marie|contributions]]) 21:56, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|Bowling is life}} I should additionally note that, for completeness sake, that that subscriber parameter did nothing; as you could see on the live page, the subscriber parameter had different text from what was shown on the live article. And what I mean by that is, the paramter in the article's source text didn't show "(March 2023)". It only had the number itself. That is the infobox retrieving the number from [[Wikidata]] instead. - [[User:Evelyn Marie|Evelyn Marie]] ([[User_talk:Evelyn Marie|leave a message]] · [[Special:Contributions/Evelyn Marie|contributions]]) 22:00, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

== Band origins: Iron Maiden and Dire Straits ==

Hello. Over at the Bring Me the Horizon article, you removed South Yorkshire in the infobox, saying that it is not necessary to have anything more added to the "Origin" part of the infobox other than it's city and constituent country. Well, the main reason I am here is because at the Iron Maiden and Dire Straits articles, my edits to the articles were reverted and my edit summaries were ignored, with my edit summaries saying that if a band from the UK forms in a city, it should only have the city and constituent country in the infobox and only the city they formed in as the opening sentence of the article. Also, I have received warnings that say that I must find a reliable source to prove my claims that the two bands formed in London, in which they obviously did. Can you help me with people who can't understand my claims and my edits to the articles?

== re:July 2023 ==

since this is ridiculous, I’ll have you know that common sense is supposed to tell you that the band being plural due to ending with the letter 's' means that it/they ''has/have''  to be labeled as “'''the''' Backstreet Boys”, like other bands with plural-form names, as well as countries like the [[Netherlands]]. sure, we would get the point if it’s just Backstreet Boys without “the”, but I thought this wiki’s writing is supposed to formal and not '''in'''formal

and fyi, this discussion has nothing to do with the band being American and not British

plus, other/later parts of the article say '''the''' Backstreet Boys, ergo my point stands [[User:Geoyui|Geoyui]] ([[User talk:Geoyui|talk]]) 19:14, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't want to come off as [[WP:OWN]]-y, but considering I just put a ton of time and work into it, I would have liked to have received a heads up on the overhaul. A lot of it is good, but good articles have a responsibility to be shepherded and I'll admit I'm a little protective. Besides integrating the discography into a separate list, what mostly did you do, of note?

: {{Reply|DannyMusicEditor}} None of my edits are meant to take away from the excellent work you or anyone else did to get this article to GA status. When I see that GA symbol, I think okay, how can I further improve this article or help maintain its GA status? As it says on the top of the talk page, "[BLANK] has been listed as one of the Music good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it." To be fair, nowhere does it say you should consult with the editor who originally nominated the article. I was following [[WP:BOLD]]. But, I do see where you are coming from because it can come off like I am completely changing the way the article is. maybe I should have consulted the talk page when it came to the discography section or the lead. This article is well-built and well-written, but no GA is perfect, not even ones that recently achieved GA status. I saw some improvements that could be made and I went for it. Take another look at the article and you will notice it is mostly the same as it was (except the discography section). I'll admit I questioned whether I should have waited or not to separate the discography into its own page. Like I said, none of what I did is taking away from your hard work. I'm just making some improvements that I noticed needed to be done. I added more sources, double-checked that the genres were well-sourced (I removed a student newspaper that was being used as a source), added new photos, and added some new information, including a Grammy nomination and new song remix they were featured on. And I wasn't the one who removed the information from the lead. I tried restoring it. Also, AlexandreBT88 made a good point about the lead nationality and I thought changing it to Canadian-American would be a good compromise. I was wrong, it wasn't even supported in the article. Again, I appreciate the work you put into this article and I'm happy you got it to GA status. I intended to further improve the article, not take away from it.

Hi, I appreciate that it was only a partial revert of my edits to [[Poppy (singer)|Poppy]] — but how come you’ve changed hlist back to flatlist — I thought that articles preferred the hlist format now?

== Poppy is "not an actress" ==

How is [[Poppy (singer)|Poppy]] not an actress while her entire career was based off of playing a character? Lots of reliable articles confirms that she is in fact an actress, and rarely mentions "YouTuber". So I don't think it's necessary to remove that especially since she's no longer active on YouTube. [[User:Gabriella Grande|Gabriella Grande]] ([[User talk:Gabriella Grande|talk]]) 22:55, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

: {{Reply|Gabriella Grande}} Don't you have to have actual acting roles in order to be considered an actress? Besides, Wikipedia only includes the main occupation. People know her as a singer, songwriter, and YouTuber. Not an actress. There are sources that call her a YouTuber or YouTube sensation. Even though she does not make videos anymore, that doesn't change the fact that she did at one point.

Hi Bowling is life,

I've noticed you're an established editor, can you please change on the Iggy Azalea page, the genre from [[Pop-rap]] to [[Hip hop music|Hip hop]]

As there are more sources that call her hip hop over pop rap, please?

Many thanks,

Hi, Bowling is life,

I saw you’ve got a helluva of experience editing on here and have edited on [[:The Beginning (Black Eyed Peas album)]] before, can you please change the genre from just [[Pop music|Pop]] to {{hlist|[[Pop music|Pop]]|[[Hip hop music|hip hop]]|[[techno]]<ref name="Vozick-Levinson"/>}} as the source states all three genres?

: {{Reply|Queen of Hip hop and R&#38;B}} I see there is a dispute over the genres on that article. You have a similar user name to a user that was blocked a couple months ago, [[User: RnB-Hip-hop soul]], who was blocked for edit warring. If you are the same person as User: RnB-Hip-hop soul who was blocked, just know that creating a new account to pretend to be a different user to get around a block is [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry|Sockpuppetry]] and not acceptable. Because I suspect sockpuppetry here and because there is a dispute on the page, I am sorry but I am not getting involved.

== Adding CN tags doesn't work ==

Nobody will ever cite sources if I just tag the stuff. I've removed alot of shit that was dated back to 2011. I'd find the sources myself for all of them, but I can't do everything on this site. Nobody will bother to source this shit without the threat of it getting removed from the article. Everyone just wants to readd the content without actually imporving the article. Also, I'm realizing a great deal of long unsourced bodies of text are just blantant plagiarism anyway. It's fucking embarrassing. We're supposed to be maintaining the integrity of an encyclopedia and all everyone wants to do is revert and re-add content without doing anything to improve the article. [[User:CatTits10|CatTits10]] ([[User talk:CatTits10|talk]]) 08:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

:{{Reply|CatTits10}} You are removing mentions of studio albums from the history section like on your recent edit on [[Sevendust]]. I know so many articles are badly damaged by editors or fans of the band who just add information and don't care about sourcing the information. Remember, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a work in progress|Wikipedia is a work in progress]] and it will never be perfect or finished. I can't do everything either and I don't go around to every badly damaged article and remove half the page. I recommend taking it one article at a time. I have a list of articles on my user page that I have improved. Some of which, at one time, were poorly sourced but are now properly sourced and well built articles. I added sources to information that I could and removed information that I could not find a source for. More than one editor has asked you to try adding sources instead of removing so much content. You can't be removing mentions of studio albums from band's articles. You said on your talk page that you'll find sources as people add the information back. First off, you are assuming people will add the information back, second, how do plan on doing this when you have done this hundreds of band articles? [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life#top|talk]]) 14:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
::Everything is in my watchlist. And I don't ''assume'' people will try to add the unsourced info back, '''I KNOW''' they will. You are correct we should add back the mentions of albums that I removed. You are correct I shouldn't have removed entire sections from the band history. I know my style is jarring, but I am trying to draw attention to the problems so many of these articles have. And like, some of these articles are so fucked up from years of neglect that it almost seems easier to start over. On some of them there is almost no information to establish notability after the unsourced info has been purged, and that's a huge fucking problem.

You're almost certainly dealing with a sockpuppet of StarryNightSky11. See the investigation archive here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/StarryNightSky11/Archive Multiple socks have repeatedly edited the soccer captain article, and as for the other article, insisting on British English even when it doesn't belong, and constantly edit-warring when others revert him, seems to be his standard mode of operation.

:Removing unsourced genres doesn't make me a genre warrior. There was no support for the genre in the critical reception section even though you said there was. If a source supports the genre, it should be pointed out and included in a separate section called "composition".

== Need Assistance with [[Draft:Our Mirage]] ==

First off, thanks for finding some legit articles for [[Rising Insane]]. Also, I am building a page for metalcore band, Our Mirage. It is currently under a draft, since the Admins are very antsy about notability and having independent sources. I could use assistance from any editors with understanding of the metal scene in finding some accurate articles over the web on this band. I'm not gonna submit that page for review until I have legitimate sources and I can't do this alone. It would be nice if I had some help finding something worth a damn. There is also a German language page for this article, unfortunately, I am prohibited from doing translations for Wikipedia. [[User:Sthacker21|Sthacker21]] ([[User talk:Sthacker21|talk]]) 00:42, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
: {{Reply|Sthacker21}} I looked over the article and made a couple small cosmetic changes. Finding reliable sources for smaller bands like this can be tricky. A band's AllMusic Bio can be a great place to start as they provide background and history for bands. But, this band's AllMusic is empty which is typical for smaller bands: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/our-mirage-mn0003752001 Just doing a simple Google search of 'Our Mirage bands' under the news tab brought up some reliable sources such as Distorted Magazine, Metal Insider, and Heavymag. And I don't want to be a pessimist but I kept finding album reviews for The Killers, 2020 album, Imploding the Mirage whenever I search this band which is never a good sign. But, there may be something note worthy in the sources I did find. And as a tip for the article, the tone needs to be neutral. The musical style section needs to be rewritten because it sounds like it was written by a fan. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. And another tip, I like looking at other similar articles as an example whenever I create an article. I hope this example helps: about a year ago I did a complete overhaul of an article for the band, [[Tallah]]. This article was in rough shape. In fact, your draft article looks way more complete than what this article did back then. I don't know how it passed. But I cleaned it up and added sources and information to make it what it is today. Take a look at the artistry section of Tallah's article. We could make Our Mirage's musical style section just like that. On top of a rewrite, we also need sources for the genres. I hope all the tips will be useful for helping this draft become an official article. I'll try helping where I can but I may be busy with work or other projects on Wikipedia. Let me know if you need help with anything else. I have created many articles and improved many too, so I should be able to help.

::@[[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]]: You are right about one thing.
