Genre Change 2020[edit]

I'm seeking consensus to change the add emo and post-hardcore to genres. TerminatorZXY (talk) 17:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TerminatorZXY, before adding any genre you need to discuss with other users and find WP:CONSENSUS. As I already explained to you, both genres you added result to be unsourced, since the reviews you cite do not describe the album as an emo or post-hardcore record. Also, the Sputnikmusic link you added cannot be used since it's a user review, not a professional one. Sources on Wikipedia have to be WP:VERIFIABLE and WP:RELIABLE. Please check WP:ALBUM/REVSIT to have a list of reliable sources. Past discussions have shown there are plenty of genres used by critics for the band and their records, so users found that alternative rock was the musical genre that could best describe the style and tendency of the album. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without consensus.--Earthh (talk) 11:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

R-Evolve[edit]

This is just a random thought, but does the beginning of R-Evolve sound a bit like Adam's Song by Blink-182?

Longest video?[edit]

From Yesterday is the longest video ever made? I thought that was Thriller. If it is, where's the sourcing? Titan50 (talk) 16:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Supposed subliminal messages[edit]

One of the pieces of trivia states that the "The Kill" video contains subliminal messages. While I don't wholly agree with that statement, I believe that is a true enough statement. I myself don't think they are subliminal. But that's not what I wanted to mention. When I read the bit about subliminal messages I looked in the video I found (ripped from Rage TV) and found the flashed frames were at something more like 3:09, 3:11, and 4:11. I'm not sure that those times have to be used, but maybe a more general description is in order. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.32.46.190 (talk) 17:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

"Praying for a Riot" bonus track[edit]

The "hidden track" on A Beautiful Lie has no official title. Neither Jared Leto, nor any other member of 30 Seconds to Mars have made any such claims, publication or statement in regards to a title for the hidden track on 'A Beautiful Lie'.

The incorrect title "Praying for a Riot" actually stems from the official 30 Seconds to Mars fan forums, a place which is notorious for it's misinformation regarding the band and it's music. During a fan discussion on what THEY (the fans) call the hidden track, one fan created the title "7 Corners". Another fan reportedly claims that Jared had told them it's called "Praying for a Riot" - the title which has now been adopted by the fan-base and accordingly spread across the Internet. Some online stores have actually adopted this track title and included it in their tracklistings - presumably taking the information from Wikipedia in doing so. This does NOT make the title official - it just proves that it's easy to spread misinformation across the Internet.

Bottom line; you will find no such title printed anywhere on the CD's, on any official 30 Seconds to Mars merchandise or media, nor in any official interviews with the band. Because Wikipedia only lists factual information that can be supported, this title should not be listed on the 'A Beautiful Lie' page. VincePirez (talk) 12:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found Image:30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie.jpg[edit]

Image:30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 05:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album assessment[edit]

Obviously, a lot of attention has gone into this article. :) In order to be properly assessed by the WP:ALBUM criteria, information on which specific band members performed on this album needs to be included in personnel. This is essential in bands with shifting line-ups, as the infobox indicates this one to have. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emo?!?[edit]

What is emo doing in this album's genre?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.253.169.203 (talk) 21:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The genre is sourced and confirmed. -- GunMetal Angel 21:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give me the link to your source please? 97.65.61.9 (talk) 04:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 30STM, 6 July 2011[edit]

There is an error in the genres of this album, how do I change it?

30STM (talk) 14:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 15:18, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EMO?[edit]

Emo? Screamo is acceptable but emo no. I erase the "emo" genre but I erase also "do not put another genre your changes will be revisted" so can someone put that again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CBaila (talkcontribs) 14:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

I think we should add post-hardcore to the genre because alot of the singles from this album depict that genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PugsNotDrugsHD333 (talkcontribs) 18:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree TerminatorZXY (talk) 00:27, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
