message: The "Label change" section is nearly irrelevant to the article (and has a commercial feel to it). I suggest deleting all but the last 2 sentences, and deleting the section heading so that it merges with the section above. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've downgraded the protection to semi (see above), so you can make that edit yourself now. Graham87 11:34, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  WP:DENY is not policy, but WP:V is. You have joined the edit war on the side of people inserting content not supported by sources, and you have not only ignored, but subsequently removed full protection to do so. It is common practice to self-revert in this situation, once one has realised one's mistake. Samsara 12:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  WP:EVADE is however policy, and that's more applicable in this situation. If I'd thought what I did was a clear-cut mistake where there were two good-faith sides to the argument, I most definitely would have reverted myself. I don't see that being the case here. Graham87 12:23, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  From EVADE: This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a blocked editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand). You not only reverted, but undid protection without consultation. I'm waiting to hear from you how you propose to resolve the situation you have created here. Samsara 12:31, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, When reverting edits, care should be taken not to reinstate material that may be in violation of such core policies as neutrality, verifiability, and biographies of living persons. Samsara 12:37, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

text: Feel free, while it's not fully protected, to make your changes unrelated to the dispute. Failing that, post specifically what you want that section to read as I'm not quite sure how you intended it. I ran it through in my head with only the last two sentences preserved, and it seemed to lack context even more than it currently does, so maybe I didn't think it the way you did. Having said that, I prefer to remain "uninvolved" here as much as possible, so if you give me a version and there are no objections (or policy violations, obviously), I will implement it verbatim should full protection be in force at the time.

replies: text: (EC) I'm not sure, actually ... I'll leave that up to the main editors of the article and consensus above I find Binksternet's arguments compelling (I was looking at the Allmusic source for "worldbeat" and missed it the first time myself). I've also seen your message in the other section. Graham87 13:03, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

text:  "After Universal Music Group purchased DreamWorks Records and folded it into the Interscope Geffen A&M umbrella label in January 2004, Furtado's recording contract was absorbed into Geffen Records.[7][8][9]"  Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Edit request

message: Here are some prominent reviews of the album, with respect to genre. 
*AllMusic – No strong statement about genre: "...the dogged seriousness and didactic worldview become a bit overbearing not long before the album is a quarter of the way finished, particularly since the fusion of worldbeat and adult alternative pop often seems heavy-handed... an awkward transitional album."
*New York Times – The artist and album are generally discussed within the pop genre: "...a wildly uneven collection... her pop competition... most current pop..."
*AV Club – No particular genre specified: "...Folklore mainly loses that balance [the previous album's balance of girl-pop, hip hop, folk rock and worldbeat], emphasizing the roots instead of the mainstream byproduct."
*Music OMH – Discusses the artist as coming from a teen pop background, this particular album as falling within the pop genre, but without the commercial potential.
*BBC – No particular album genre: "There isn't a frothy pop song to be found on this album... a remarkably eclectic range of styles... the diversity of instruments and vocal styles on this album is breathtaking... eclectic..."
*Spin – No particular album genre: "Folklore finds yet another pop kid struggling to grow up."
*Guardian – Discusses the album as moving away from her commercial pop past.
*Rolling Stone – Discusses the album as the same stuff of the previous album, but without a giant hit single: "A slick multiculti hodgepodge... mechanized drum loops and assorted world-beat flourishes... [one] hip-hop tune..."
*NPR – "...diverse influences..."
*Slant – "multi-cultural... Mellower than her debut, the album includes a number of restrained yet evocative pop ballads... [She is] writing in a hermetically sealed, pop stardom-induced vacuum."
None of these reviews set an explicit genre for the album as a whole. Instead, the album and the artist are discussed in the context of pop, and the songs themselves are discussed as being widely varying in genre. So I recommend removing all genre from the infobox. Binksternet (talk) 16:14, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
