message: A pointless edit war has been on-going here for a bit.
Suggestions/demands have been made that we:
*"Stop this shit and use the original" - The "original" was "Pop/Rock". Whether or not that is correct is a separate question.
*"Are you an admin?" - While an admin is more likely to make an argument based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, their opinion on the matter is no more binding that anyone else's.
*"DON'T BE STUPID AND GET YOUR EARS CLEAN, you don't know this song and stop using a dummy account and use a real wikipedia account" - The personal attack is not acceptable and beyond pointless. Knowing the song is irrelevant (I'm not entirely sure I've ever heard it). Editing anonymously, unless being used to avoid scrutiny or evade a block is perfectly acceptable and has no bearing on the question.
*"But you should provide reliable source for additional genre." - Yes, that's one option. We'll get back to that.
*"don't be fucking stupid, even though it has a funky beat, it's still considered as funk rock, don't use your dummy account" - Again, the personal attack is not acceptable. If you continue, it is a reason to block you from editing. That it is "considered" one thing is part of a possible argument, depending on who is making that argument. Again, anonymous editing is fine.
There's plenty more, I'm sure.
Per WP:GWAR (and various policies and guidelines), genre in an article should be based on one of two things. The gold standard is citations to independent reliable sources. If Rolling Stone, Spin, the New York Times and Robert Christgau say a song is neo-Ukranian harmonic death metal, that is what the article should say. That you are certain it is something else is immaterial.
If independent reliable sources cannot be found (or do not exist) saying what the song is, a consensus established on the article's talk page is sufficient, though easily changed through further discussion or finding sources. If several of us discuss and establish a consensus that the song is a ragtime funeral dirge, that is sufficient. If later discussion establishes something else or someone finds sources, the earlier consensus is irrelevant.
Discuss the issue. If you feel someone is edit warring, socking or otherwise abusing the system, address that issue through the usual channels: WP:EW, WP:SOCK, WP:ANI, etc. - SummerPhDv2.0 18:39, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
