Chart edit war[edit]

Fezmar9 (talk · contribs) and David1287 (talk · contribs), you have both been warned on your respective talk pages (as has the IP 174.61.35.159 (talk · contribs)) for reverting edits. The edit reversions need to stop and a resolution over this dispute must be made on this talk page.

Please keep the discussion civil and take a look at the guidelines at Alternative Songs, Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, and WP:USCHARTS and their respective talk pages. Also, a very similar conversation took place on the Between the Lines (Stone Temple Pilots song) talk page here. Make a decision here first before changing the chart section. If a resolution cannot be found, you can request a third opinion or leave a note on the record chart guideline talk page. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 07:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David1287, please do not contribute any material that can not be verified through a reliable source. This includes your previous additions of the Mainstream Rock chart, and your recent alteration to the Alternative Songs peak. Billboard.com does not back up your claims, so if you would like your contributions to stay, find a different source that still complies with WP:RS. Also, WP:USCHARTS is not a policy as of yet. I personally have nothing against component charts, only poor sources and the absence of sources. Fezmar9 (talk) 01:05, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I got the 4/24 Mainstream Rock chart from a forum, but wikipedia wouldn't let me put the link to the forum so I had to put in another forum where it's visible on wikipedia. look, Fezmar, this isn't the first time we've been babbling each other over something like this.David1287 (talk) 22:27, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Visibility is not the issue here. Forums are POSTED not PUBLISHED, and are entirely unreliable. It would be no different if you posted what you believe to be the Mainstream Rock chart to your Twitter or Facebook. Having it posted on the internet does not make it a reliable source. DO NOT add it back until you have an entirely different source THAT IS NOT a forum post. Also, as Keraunoscopia pointed out, there are a group of Wikipedians that believe adding the Mainstream Rock chart is superfluous and redundant as it is a component of the Rock Songs chart. Is it really worth the trouble for something that probably will just have to be removed anyways? Fezmar9 (talk) 22:41, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
