Missing Genre Tags

I've noticed that the genre tags for many Imagine Dragons songs and albums are missing a genre tag. I've tried to add the info to the articles I could, but my changes were quickly removed with the reason being "unsupported genre." As a new contributor, how can I format and support these edits to ensure the changes will stay? Bassgoat (talk) 23:50, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is supposed to be a summary of published thought. Musical genres must come from published analysis written by music critics or musicologists, and the source must be cited. Genres must be listed explicitly in the source, per WP:EXPLICITGENRE. We don't just go around to various articles and add whatever genre we think fits. That's why there are gaps with no genre listed.

To give you two examples of useful sources, this article by music critic Jim Harrington from The Mercury News says that Imagine Dragons puts out mainstream rock. This biography from AllMusic written by music critic James Christopher Monger says that Imagine Dragons puts out arena rock and pop. These sources could be used to add genres to the band's main biography page, but not to any of their albums or songs. You would need sources discussing the specific album or song to add genres to those. Binksternet (talk) 00:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. Your dedication to keeping information reliable is incredible, as well as your dedication to educating new contributors on how to properly improve articles. Bassgoat (talk) 01:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Foreign sources with American authors

Hey, I was thinking of something to myself pertaining to the OWHs in the USA list the other day. The criteria requires two sources from an American perspective, which had me thinking: What if there is a credible non-blog/wordpress website based in another country talking about One-Hit Wonders, but the author of the article can be established as an American journalist? And I think we have our "subject" so to speak. The website Spinditty.com is based in Canada, and has a few articles/lists on One-Hit Wonders from the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's and 2010's, and they are written by a lady by the name of Elaina Baker. Emailing her, I have been able to likely establish her as an American writer/critic from the southern US. Also, her lists use the Billboard Hot 100 as a base. I wanted to ask you about whether or not a source like this could be used as a source for a list entry.

Thanks ~ Alex :) Ya Boy Alex! (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I think a foreign source can be used but it should be talking explicitly about OWH in the US. It doesn't matter whether the author is American. Binksternet (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Well, in that case, I guess the Spinditty articles can be used! I'll notify everyone on the talk page of the article! :) Ya Boy Alex! (talk) 19:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey, when I tried to add the Spinditty pages as sources in the source section at the bottom of the page, I got a large warning box in red saying that the page was registered on Wikipedia's blacklist. What does this mean? Ya Boy Alex! (talk) 20:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

That means someone was pushing Spinditty links so hard that it was creating a problem, and an administrator created a filter to keep it out of Wikipedia. See WP:REFSPAM. Sometimes people only come here to promote a book or website or themselves. That's probably what was happening. Binksternet (talk) 20:44, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

There's more information at Wikipedia:Spam blacklist. Binksternet (talk) 20:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Super-Charger Heaven genre

Hey there! I'm Pengo82 and as the title applies, I'm reaching out about the song Super-Charger Heaven and your reverse of one of my edit. I appreciate all you do for this community, but it would seem your claim that my genre source, music.mxdwn.com, is a blog is ill-advised. Upon visiting the contact section of the website, it can eb seen that multiple people work on the sites, with the author of the particular article used being different from the individual who you assumed solely controlled the website. Still, being ran by multiple people doesn't automatically discredit the site from being a blog, but when you add in the fact that they have a public relation person and described themselves as a an "online entertainment magazine", it can be assumed the site is a genuine news source and not a blog like you claimed. For this reason, it would seem appropriate that my genre edit is unreversed, but I'll let you respond with your own take on the situation before changing anything. With that said, thank you for contribution and hoping we can come to a conclusion soon! Pengo82 (talk) 21:57, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

The website's source code shows that music.mxdwn.com is based on WordPress, a blogging platform. That fact will be difficult to overcome. The website's contact page lists some other editors than Ray Flotat, so that's a point in its favor. What would really float the website's boat is if the writers were acknowledged experts in their fields, or if the website was discussed in the media, and especially if they were winning industry awards and recognition.

WP:USERG says we should not use group blogs, with an allowance for magazine blogs as in Wikipedia:Verifiability#Newspaper_and_magazine_blogs. In that case, the magazine should already be a reliable source before its blog would also be considered reliable. Binksternet (talk) 17:46, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I've done some more digging and it would seem the site has its own LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/mxdwn.com it would seem the site is a pretty legit news source. Not only does the website described itself as a "magazine" but based on the LinkedIn profiles of it's employees, it would seem they're all writers and professionals. Being based on the source code of WordPress means very little. Wikipedia is based on the source code of MediaWiki, but so is https://harddrop.com/wiki/Tetris_Wiki a fandom like site dedicated to Tetris. Overall, your argument that the site is a blog and not an online magazine like it's advertised as seems lacking. Not all news sources will be world famous and widely mentioned. Pengo82 (talk) 19:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Having a LinkedIn page does not offer any additional level of reliability. I'm just not seeing that music.mxdwn.com has been judged as reliable by industry observers. We would have to take their own word for it. Binksternet (talk) 20:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Reverting every single edit I’ve made.

What is it with you? You claim every edit I’ve made is vandalism and have reverted it, but I would like you to explain how it is vandalism? I usually add a source to my edits later on, but since I’m doing some of these edits without logging in, I don’t. Not to mention, not adding a source doesn’t make it vandalism. It sounds a lot like you have some nepotism or (judging by your user talk page) some narcissism going on. But regardless of any of that, I’m honestly quite curious on how EVERY edit I’ve made is vandalism, and why you have decided to stock me and every edit I’ve made to revert it. 2600:100C:B2F6:1718:9037:79E8:5546:AFC9 (talk) 05:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

You have been persistently genre-warring, that's why I'm reverting you. Binksternet (talk) 09:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like you to explain how I am providing biased information on genres, or genre warring to begin with, when each edit I’ve made has either been already proven by A. Other people or B. Organizations such as The Country Music Hall of Fame. For example, Bob Wills is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, which obviously makes him a country musician. He also was in multiple western films in which he played Western (also known as Cowboy) Music. 47.223.111.239 (talk) 17:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

See WP:EXPLICITGENRE. We don't assign genres by association with a group. We assign genres based on WP:SECONDARY sources describing the topic specifically and explicitly as being in that genre. Binksternet (talk) 15:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

secondary sources would include the Hall of Fame, since they gained the information from other sources as well. 47.223.111.239 (talk) 17:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

We have another one

Came across a strange serial editor from an anonymous IP who makes lots of odd, tiny edits—often formatted incorrectly—and who is currently on a tear changing "Side one" and "Side two" to "Side One" and "Side Two" on scores of album pages. Some of his edits seem to have been reverted, but not all of them. I can issue him a warning on his talk page, but you may want to keep an eye on him. Thanks.—The Keymaster (talk) 04:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

He also appears to be changing the wording of quotations that are cited. Good lord... The Keymaster (talk) 05:09, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm okay with capitalized Side One. Changing quotes is unacceptable. Binksternet (talk) 13:03, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

My feeling is that WP:TRACKLISTING and the general capitalization guidelines at WP indicate that only "Side" would be capitalized in these instances. Anyway, I've also alerted Sergecross73 to this editor to see what he thinks. The Keymaster (talk) 05:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Oasis

May I ask why you think it is excessive to remove more than six words on the break up Oasis ?. I think more than the band disbanded abruptly is not enough so why delete what I put in ?. Regards 178.167.177.234 (talk) 14:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

First off, you've been a pain in the ass for some time now, fighting over Oasis topics with many other folks while using a range of throwaway Irish IPs for at least a year now. Your English grammar is flawed, especially your overuse of the period.[1]

Specifically answering your above concerns, your wording at the Oasis page was awkward, redundant and childish. It was inappropriate. Binksternet (talk) 19:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Excuse me "pain in the ass" there is no need to speak to me in that manner. I have not done anything wrong with my edits. There should be more information regarding their split bar one line. No one seemed to have a problem with it bar you. I have never vandalised any page only ever made edits to help regarding the groups page. redundant, childish or inappropriate ?. There is no need to be rude. It is easy to do that behind a screen though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.177.234 (talk) 20:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Your interactions are characterized by such polite comments as "what the hell are you doing", "what are you doing you moron", and "Stop your bloody nonsence". Binksternet (talk) 20:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Heads up

I have just caught wind of this person and see you have been dealing with them as well. I've reverted their last few edits, worst of which was at "Snowbird", where they actually changed the sourced genres in the infobox to contradict the accompanying citations.—The Keymaster (talk) 04:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Martha Marcy May Marlene revert

Take a look at the 1 July edits on Martha Marcy May Marlene by a very similar ip. Maybe revert further? ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, those edits certainly represent block evasion by User:Unkownsolidier from Greece. The idea of trimming the plot section was valid per WP:FILMPLOT which sets an upper limit of 700 words, but Unkownsolidier is not allowed to participate on Wikipedia, so I reverted and trimmed the plot myself. Binksternet (talk) 01:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

Because of your continued engagement in edit warfare on the page Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody, you will be reported to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. You have violated WP:REMOVAL and WP:WAR, and have made several false claims to get your own ideology across, such as claiming NBHAP is a WordPress blog, when in actual fact it's a reliable online music-magazine. You have became a disruptive user, and for the good of this site, something must be done about this. Thank you. Mappy1983 (talk) 03:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Binksternet has reverted twice. That's not edit-warring. You, on the other hand, are making personal attacks. That's a problem. Acroterion (talk) 03:13, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Reversions on link to Italo-Soviet Pact

Why do you keep doing this? I havent reverted you three times but I am reverting yours for the first time each now. One edit I made was a misrepresentation of what is said at page 401-402 of Smiths “Modern Italy” book (check for yourself), and otherwise me linking to the article “Italo-Soviet Pact”, that is extensively referenced at that page, are you accusing me of using wiki as a source? I just dont know why I need to reference a link to that article where all the citations are present. But if thats what you want I’ll add a citation, although I didnt see a need when I first did it, kind of like if you add a link of the extensively cited article on the Locarno treaty to the treaty of versailles, they are related. There arent citations given for the titles/names of wars and events a given wikipedia article is named after, from what I’ve seen. 47.220.25.185 (talk) 03:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I’m just going to add citations to my edits since I dont feel like waiting for your riposte. Although I find it ridiculous that, on the Bormann article, I have to do that. It wasnt framing anything as “alleged”, the only caveat is that its a highly controversial subject with multiple contentions, but I’ll add the opposite view through citation if thats what is required to highlight that authors do not agree on it. 47.220.25.185 (talk) 03:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I reverted your changes to Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact for the exact reason that I described in my edit summary: "rv unreferenced stuff and over-reliance on primary source document" which means I took out your unreferenced whataboutism regarding the Italo-Soviet Pact, and your insertion of the primary source document, an internal memorandum. The memorandum contents should never be offered by themselves; the whole point of Wikipedia is to get WP:SECONDARY analysis from expert authors. The cited author should be telling us about the accuracy or deception contained in the memo.

One thing you said in your edit summary was, "Italo-Soviet Pact is an extensively referenced article, why do I need to cite them directly just to put the link to that article?" The answer is that each Wikipedia page must be verifiable on its own, without having to thumb through other articles. Each article must contain every necessary citation. You cannot simply link to another article. Binksternet (talk) 04:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Céline Dion's accompanist at Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony

Hi Binksternet,

A few folk have mentioned incorrectly that Céline was accompanied by David Foster at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, but it was actually Céline's musical director Scott Price at the piano as per this Le Monde article Wiredwidget (talk) 18:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

PS It was at the 1996 Olympics ceremony where Foster and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra accompanied Céline. Wiredwidget (talk) 19:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh my. Thanks for the correction. Binksternet (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. I see someone has already fixed it. Wiredwidget (talk) 20:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Kathleen Hanna

I added Kathleen Hanna to that category because Diablo Cody was in it. Cody wrote a book about it; Hanna wrote a book with a chapter about it. BenStein69 (talk) 23:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I still don't think it rises to being a definitive characteristic, per WP:CATDEF. The media does not regularly refer to her as a stripper or exotic dancer. She gained no fame from that work; her fame came solely from being a musician. Binksternet (talk) 00:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Brenda Russell

You currently appear to be edit warring on the article Brenda Russell but the reasons for your continued reversions are vague. Please discuss your changes with other editors before simply reverting. Thank you. Soultruck (talk) 03:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

A user’s continuous original research

Hi there, I have a question about a user and their continuous use of original research. The user (Espngeek) is very active on film pages and regularly creates or edits articles (see Minimalist film, Indiewood, List of American independent films) that go against Wikipedia's policy of no original research or synthesis. The articles mostly follow the same format—long lists. I know you've had personal experience with correcting their mistakes and have warned them multiple times. There is also constant use of incomplete references. My question is if you have suggestions on how to report their behavior if they continue to violate this policy? The administrators' noticeboard? Thanks. Spectrallights (talk) 21:25, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, WP:ANI is the proper venue for long-term problematic behavior with no indication of changing. Binksternet (talk) 22:25, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Folk-pop

I added change to that article because Folk-pop doesn't stay in boundaries of a blend of western contemporary folk music with pop. It is used to describe oriental dance pop music in the Balkan, the middle-east and Central Asia. I don't have sources but other wiki page about Folk-pop in other languages provide the arguments as mine. Sarkisevgenia (talk) 08:33, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Wiki pages are not considered reliable sources. See WP:USERG. Binksternet (talk) 14:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Sweet Home Alabama

Hi. Why did you remove that edit? It even had an source. Are cover versions not allowed to be mentioned at all? 2001:99A:80E:3A00:15E5:3853:DB8F:9489 (talk) 17:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

The source just establishes that the cover version exists. It needs to say that the cover version is important. Binksternet (talk) 18:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Why? 2A0A:EF40:6A7:C301:A169:5E25:1DB9:3672 (talk) 16:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

You've been genre-warring, adding unsupported genres. Binksternet (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep an eye on the New Jack Swing page

Hello, I noticed an edit you made on the New jack swing page. thank you.

We have trolls (probably British) trying to insert themselves into anything American. attempting to give themselves credit. New Jack Swing was created in America by Americans (like most modern music). including House music. New jack swing formed in the late 80's and simmered out by the mid 90's. Someone reverted my edit, but I undid theirs. if these trolls keep editing we might need an admin to lock the page once and for all. the problem is I have no idea how or where to find one? 2601:195:C581:26E0:4C03:736A:5B49:7854 (talk) 20:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Lots of folks get excited about music topics. There are American trolls who remove any sort of British influence. So let's just stick to the sources and keep these articles as neutral as possible. Binksternet (talk) 21:48, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Day-O (Banana Boat Song)

Recently, several of my edits to the Wikipedia page for Day-O have been removed by you. After the first time, I edited my addition to include more information as well as proof that the Wiggles cover is a notable one. I can assure you that I am not trolling, I genuinely believe that this cover on an ARIA Award winning album is worthy of a simple mention on the Wikipedia page for the original. As other folk song pages: "I'll Tell Me Ma", "Rattlin' Bog" have mentioned the Wiggles covers, some from albums that did not win such awards. 27.253.101.76 (talk) 12:42, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

The album award does not lend the cover song any more weight. The cover song all by itself must be described as extraordinary by WP:SECONDARY sources, or it must have charted. I've been referring you to WP:SONGCOVER which sets a very high bar to inclusion. And now after your IP was blocked from article space, your registered username MarxismLasagnism has stepped in to continue the edit war, which is a total violation of WP:MULTIPLE, worthy of a block. Binksternet (talk) 16:07, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I will be locating a secondary source that discusses this cover as notable and worthy of a mention 27.253.101.76 (talk) 00:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Removing the mention of the Wiggles cover from the Turkey In The Straw page that has been there for years appears to be a deliberate attack. Why can we not simply add an "Other Versions" section to the page as a compromise? That way we don't deem covers as notable that others might not, but the covers that some Do deem as notable get the mention they deserve? The album did win THE ARIA Award for best childrens album, that makes it more notable than most. Can we please reach an agreement here? 27.253.101.76 (talk) 12:28, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Your "deliberate attack" is my "keep Wikipedia consistent."

WP:SONGCOVER is the tough challenge here. The song isn't helped by having a famous group cover it, or by being part of an award-winning album. What's needed is a music writer saying the cover version is extraordinary for some reason. Binksternet (talk) 14:24, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

The Turkey In The Straw article went into detail about lyrical changes made specifically in that version. Other pages do this without an issue, so why is there one now? 27.253.101.76 (talk) 12:14, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

The issue there was a violation of WP:No original research. The lyrics were compared from version to version, but this comparison was driven by Wikipedia editors rather than by WP:SECONDARY sources. Binksternet (talk) 12:31, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Bullet Train (Judas Priest song)

Hello Mr. Bink. I quickly wanted to say, you changed Thrash metal to heavy metal on the Bullet Train article, even though the song is more thrash metal than heavy metal (fast tempo, drumming, shreddy solo, low-registered guitars) but you removed thrash metal for being unsourced. To play the neutrality angle, given how heavy metal isn't really sourced either, wouldn't it be a better idea to simply remove the genre all together until a reliable source is found? Tkgaynor (talk) 14:17, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Sure, we can remove heavy metal if there is a question about whether the song is hard rock or something other than metal. WP:EXPLICITGENRE says we should have an explicit source for the genre. In practice, generic genres are okay in songs that are widely seen as an example of that style. Generic genres such as pop, hip hop, rock and heavy metal can stand in for more specific styles if the specific style isn't explicitly supported. Binksternet (talk) 14:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Political positions of Joe Biden

Hi. At Political positions of Joe Biden, first you removed my edit because you claimed it had "undue weight", then I mentioned how I added his opposition to settlements, and now the reason is that Biden never acted upon it, but this is a strange argument since the article isn't Foreign policy of the Joe Biden administration, it's just his political positions, and what I added amply describes Biden's full throttled support for Israel, which is a notable topic. Maurnxiao (talk) 15:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

UNDUE includes whether the issue is significant to the topic. If Biden's position was widely discussed it would be significant.

You wrote "He also asked Begin to stop the settlements in the West Bank, fearing that it would hurt the American public's perception of Israel." Did Biden's expressed sentiment result in media discussion at the time? Did it influence Begin?

My gut take on your addition was that you wanted to smear Biden with the idea that Canada could be wiped out. You wrote, Biden met with Begin, and expressed his support for Israel's actions in Lebanon, saying "If attacks were launched from Canada into the US, everyone would have said, 'Attack all the cities of Canada, and we don’t care if all the civilians get killed'".

Your cited source was crowing about the Canada thing, not emphasizing West Bank settlements. Crap sourcing pushing political buttons. Binksternet (talk) 15:36, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

1) I took a look, and Jacobin is considered a reliable source.

2) Saying I want to smear Biden by adding Biden's own words (or at least as paraphrased by Begin who translated them into Hebrew, and then Jacobin translated them back into English) is pointless and hostile, and I can just as easily accuse you of being a Biden supporter trying to pretend he is a "decent guy". It's a waste of time and clearly violates the assume good faith policy.

3) Again, my cited source is considered reliable by English Wikipedia, and the emphasis was on Biden's full throttled support for Israel during the 1982 Lebanon War. The Canada comment was an analogy, and whether or not the source I cited emphasises his opposition to the settlements does not have any bearing on whether or not my edit was "undue weight". I mentioned his support for Israel's actions in Lebanon, and his opposition to settlements. Maurnxiao (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

You correctly surmised I was accusing you of WP:Tendentious editing. Being pleasant isn't my main goal. Protecting the wiki is.

Your addition has been challenged which puts the WP:ONUS on you to gain consensus for its inclusion. I don't think it is appropriate, so now you must find a majority of Wikipedia users who agree with you that political mud should be slung in this manner. Binksternet (talk) 15:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I suppose you're right about me now needing to achieve a consensus, though it's odd that "political mud slinging" to you means adding to an article dedicated to a politician's political views information pertaining to his views on a highly important topic, views which, I might add, are hotheaded. I'm not entirely sure how you can take a look at your rhetoric and have the brass neck to accuse me of being biased, tendentious and trying to push through a contentious agenda, nor how any of this can be interpreted as "protecting the Wiki". Maurnxiao (talk) 15:57, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

You're right. I'm sorry.

Repeated vandalism at the 2002 Annie Awards voice acting production

Someone won't stop vandalizing the 2002 voice acting. No matter how hard I tried, SOMEONE won't stop changing the names from "Daveigh Chase" to "Billy Crystal", "Lilo Pelekai" to "Mike Wazowski", Lilo & Stitch to Monsters Inc.. This really has to stop! Can't you do something about it, si vous plaît? Renebird100 (talk) 03:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

I went to WP:RPP and asked for temporary page protection. I wrote, "Block evasion by Special:Contributions/82.5.77.188. Disruption from throwaway UK IPs including Special:Contributions/92.40.197.59, Special:Contributions/92.40.197.130, Special:Contributions/51.52.83.216, Special:Contributions/92.40.196.78 and Special:Contributions/92.40.197.62." Hope that helps. Binksternet (talk) 04:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

ThePRP

That removal from Deftones was intentional; I find its reliability questionable. Do you have any discussion or precedent on it? If there is, I'll drop it, I'd like it if you removed it if there isn't anything on it at this time. mftp dan ^oops 20:36, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I get what you're saying, but your source and the previous one transcribed the video pretty much the same way, showing how similar they are. Binksternet (talk) 04:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm certain this interview was the original release ThePRP lifted that from. Would it not be better to just keep the origin of the information rather than include a repost from a questionable place? mftp dan ^oops 12:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
