Asshat

That was a fine edit. Happy new year! Drmies (talk) 15:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

...and to you!. Rob van vee 15:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editing

You shouldn't have removed my edits without my knowledge. Ngenxa (talk) 16:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Au contraire my dear fellow, you should not have added unsourced information to a BLP article to begin with, as stated in my reverting edit summary. Rob van vee 16:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony Fantano

A RfC has begun at WP:RSN regarding Anthony Fantano's reviews should be count as reliable. Please add your comments there if interested. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 02:31, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Devouring Radiant Light such as you did here and here, 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. Second Skin (talk) 09:15, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't play games, that's for children and your behavior at this point seems to suggest that perhaps juvenile behavior fits you comfortably. If you have a pair of balls, say to my face what the problem is but your false accusation above and uncivil edit summaries seem to suggest they haven't dropped yet. In a nutshell, you added unsourced genres (and not for the first time) and I removed them. WP:V says the onus is you to source them, hence my template on your talk page.

How is the official Instagram page not a reliable source, please enlighten me. MartijnW076 (talk) 06:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit for Lars Ulrich article

Hi Robvanvee, I know this is very late and so you may not remember, but can you let me know what I edited without a source, as I’m sure I’d have one. Nickcarpani (talk) 00:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nick. It was this edit. All the best, Rob van vee 06:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Alright so, for TPTB here and here Also it was already mentioned in that article so what's the point?

He stated on the 19th that they had begun recording but he did not specify that they started recording on that day. WP:V says: All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material. WP:ALBUMAVOID says Facebook is not a reliable source and Help:Referencing for beginners shows you how to add references to articles because leaving them here won't suffice. That's the point!

Edit: For AVD, here Dannythefrick (talk) 07:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Brush up on Help:Referencing for beginners and feel free to add that back. Rob van vee 07:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added back to AVD, but with TPTB; the post on the 19th clearly said "right now" meaning they have started recording that day. Also on your claim that Facebook is not a reliable source; Those are the official band and one of the band members' official pages.

Edit: And these Facebook posts have been sourced before I edited the page. Dannythefrick (talk) 08:18, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift - alt-rock artists?

You rollbacked my edit, and said, "Don't. Unless it's sourced". Didn't I cite an article which described her latest release Evermore as alt-rock. I did realise I put it in the wrong section because it's not like other pages which lists using the last name, but the first. Are you saying she doesn't belong on the list at all because I'm fairly certain she does? Her wikipedia page does say she incorporates alt-rock under "artistry". - Izb123 17:12, 23 January 2021 (GMT)

A source describing a single album as alt rock does not equate to an alt rock artist. It needs to be a source describing her discography as such. Sorry for the snarky edit summary. Rob van vee 19:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like this is going to get into some philosophical argument about music but surely if an artist releases an alt-rock album they're allowed to be considered an alt-rock artist? The second Taylor moved from country to pop she was considered a pop artist now and not a country artist and now she's released two albums (evermore more than folklore) that critics have described as alt-rock? Do I have to source critics calling both albums alt-rock? I don't know, I'm just very confused at this criteria that you're presenting. - Izb123 11:05, 25 January 2021 (GMT)

It's pretty simple actually: if you want to claim she is an alt rock or a pop or a heavy metal artist or whatever genre you claim, you need a reliable source that supports the claim that Taylor Swift is an alt rock or pop or heavy metal artist. If you intend to claim an album is a specific genre, you need to find a reliable source that supports your claim that album X is genre X. But just because Mariah Carey released an alt rock album does not necessarily mean that she is an alt rock artist. Rob van vee 15:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I mean there are loads of artists on that list that have no source at all? Do they not need a source? - Izb123 18:44, 25 January 2021 (GMT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izb123 (talk • contribs)

Technically, yes, but neither I nor any other willing editor have gone through the list a to z to check (...one day...). If you question an artist's entry and they are not reliably sourced on their own article or on the list page, feel free to remove them. I hope that makes sense.

Tom Waits

Hello. Can you provide any evidence that my edit constituted 'original research'? If you don't respond I hope that you won't mind if I reinsert material you have removed.82.17.146.254 (talk) 20:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In case you didn't bother to read the policy I quoted "To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented". Rob van vee 20:31, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because you delete my edits with correct reference
