Hello, I'm Hayman30. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Lonely Together (Avicii song), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Tonight (I'm Lovin' You), without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 04:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Butthole Surfers, you may be blocked from editing. Rob van vee 05:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Still Alive. Binksternet (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Papercut (Zedd song). Binksternet (talk) 04:19, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Papercut genre

So do you mind sharing how you arrived at Papercut (Zedd song) not being synth-pop, despite the reviewer calling it that? Can you share how you determined that the song is "ambient house, progressive trance, dance-pop"? Because genres are subjective, and they require a reliable source. Binksternet (talk) 05:34, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can tell you how the song is those three genres. The song has a melody that is equivalent to ambient, trance, and house music. The song's beat resembles acid house style beats, indicating that the ambient and house part of the song is the fusion genre ambient house, which takes inspiration from acid house as well as ambient and standard house music. The song is also quite progressive with the growing and slow paced verses, bridges and choruses over a 7 minute song. This is used for the trance part of the song, giving the song the style of progressive trance. Despite all of that, the song's beat and melody are pretty poppy and danceable, making the song also have a dance-pop style. Kid299 (talk) 06:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As stated by Binksternet, your view is subjective and as such, all additions need to be reliably sourced. To be honest much of what you have added to this point requires some scrutiny. Rob van vee 06:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think music genres are subjective depending on the context. I think when it comes to music genres, technicality and specifics matter more then your point of view or someone else's point of view. I don't think specifics matter when talking about something more casually. Someone in a conversation could simply call Papercut EDM and I wouldn't care. But when it comes to encyclopedia's, details matter. That's why I think looking into the songs composition is the best way to find out the genre of the music. Music genres are still kind of subjective, but they still have differences from one another in terms of style, instrumentation and even the way it uses music theory. Kid299 (talk) 07:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But when it comes to encyclopedia's, details matter. Quite right, and as such there certain measures in place to ensure this. One of those is that your edits are original research unless reliably sourced as is the case with the argument you present. Reviews by reputable critics published in reliable, independent 3rd party publications that specifically make mention of genre's in relation to an entire album or song are considered acceptable. Not the personal opinion and/or assessment of an editor. Rob van vee 11:44, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is original research bad on Wikipedia? I think original research would be better on Wikipedia, since you finding stuff out on your own would probably make for better accuracy. Kid299 (talk) 17:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read it if you haven't yet. No original research! Rob van vee 17:42, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
