Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Gorilla (Bruno Mars song), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 19:20, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Mercy (Shawn Mendes song), 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. 115.164.53.243 (talk) 03:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you need a source to determine a song's genre? Surely it's just based on the sound of the song?

Per WP:RS ("Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered"), WP:OR ("Wikipedia articles must not contain original research."), and WP:SUBJECTIVE ("articles should provide an overview of the common interpretations of a creative work, preferably with citations to notable individuals holding that interpretation. Verifiable public and scholarly critiques provide useful context for works of art."), you need genres sourced. It doesn't matter what other articles say about genre as bands change styles and you need to find appropriate ones per album. It also doesn't matter if other articles don't use citations, they will need them eventually. We don't use wikipedia as a source from other pages. If you can find sources, please add them. If not, refrain from adding uncited material about genre to articles. 123.136.111.172 (talk) 07:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Sorry (Justin Bieber song), you may be blocked from editing. 123.136.111.172 (talk) 07:41, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
