I forked the article to Wikinfo
They allow SPOV and OR, so you might be able to expand the list, and in time, make this article good enough for reproduction. Just saying.70.54.181.70 (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Please read WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH and WP:TONE. If you want to add information to the article, not only does it need to be presented in a formal tone, but it has to be supported by a reliable source (see WP:RS for what constitutes a reliable source) --Ilovetopaint (talk) 15:41, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Please read WP entry for Electric Folk to see just how much information on a particular genre can be included without having to resort to post 2000 web factoids. you are excluding alot of electronic folk artists from this space by constantly deleting references.

 * WP:OTHERCONTENT:
 * The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on whether or not the same or similar content exists or is formatted similarly in some other page. Because there is nothing stopping anyone from editing or creating any article. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:43, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

For example: the statement "the capital of France is Paris" needs no source, because no one is likely to object to it and we know that sources exist for it. The statement is attributable, even if not attributed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 19:58, 18 June 2017 (UTC)


 * WP:VERIFY
 * Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:43, 18 June 2017 (UTC)


 * WP:NOTBLUE
 * It is sometimes felt that "obvious" statements, such as "the sky is blue," do not need citing. However, there are some reasons why you do need to cite the "obvious", such as that the sky is blue. First of all, you do need citations in the "main" article, i.e., where the subject is the "obvious" statement or its major element. I.e., the statement "the sky is blue" must be footnoted in the article "Sky", especially in the section which discusses the color of the sky. Such references usually lead to more detailed knowledge. Even the most obvious and simple assertion may need an explanation. The statement that the sky is blue needs explaining that it is due to Rayleigh scattering. Citing the sources which explain why it is blue would be valuable to all readers. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:43, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Editors please be aware that at the present time the genre Electronic Folk also re-directs to this page. I propose that the origins of the genre be changed to 1973 my precedent for this would be Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells pt4 (sailors hornpipe) unless anyone can find me an example of why Mike Oldfields "sailors hornpipe" is NOT electronic folk music beacuse I would like to hear their example. artykmbandmaster — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 20:30, 18 June 2017 (UTC)


 * If you want those changes in the article, you need to find reliable sources that state in no uncertain terms:
 * 1) Folktronica originates from 1973
 * 2) "Folktronica" is an equivalent word for "electronic folk"
 * 3) Tubular Bells is/pioneered folktronica/electronic folk --Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:43, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

well, it hinges on whether folktronica is an equivalent word for electronic folk at this point. the OED has folktronica (noun): style of popular music incorporating elements of folk and electronic music please note the use of electronic and not electronica - I think this is an important distinction as electronica could be taken to infer a variety of sources like kraftwerk, cabaret voltaire, yello, daft punk which would not be very informative of this genre I don't feel.


 * I'm not sure what you're suggesting. A dictionary would also probably give the same definitions to progressive rock, symphonic rock, chamber pop, and baroque pop: "Rock music incorporating elements of classical music." It doesn't mean they're equivalent terms. Electronica, folktronica, indietronica etc. are vague, meaningless buzzwords in any case. Trying to make sense of them is a futile effort. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 19:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're NOT suggesting!!! The statement that the sky is blue needs explaining that it is due to Rayleigh scattering. Citing the sources which explain why it is blue would be valuable to all readers. Valuable - not redactable you seem to have a passion for erasing references to sources other than your own from this this wikkipedia entry what would actually be valuable (although I do not question anyone elses contributions - not edits) is what I wrote which would be a valid contribution..... originated by Mike Oldfield in 1973 with part IV of Tubular Bells featuring the sailors hornpipe (co-incidentally, Mike Oldfield was acclaimed as the first "bedroom" musician), it developed in the late 70's to early eighties with bands such as The Suns of Arqa who played traditional indian raga's to dub reggae beats and also used lot's of traditional instruments, and Clannad, who re-interpreted traditional celtic songs to include synthesizers and other technology. In late eighties to early nineties lot's of bands and collaborations started to appear including William Orbit & Beth Orton ,The Orb and the Pengin Café Orchestra, Ancient Beatbox (who play traditional Breton dance music with drum machines and sequencers), Dissidenten who mixed electronic rock dance music with traditional eastern music on their album Sahara Elektrik and Ultramarine, as well as Jah Wobble, The Afro Celt Sound System and Edward the Second, all of whom combined traditional world folk music with dub reggae rhythms. Developments in the mid to late nineties included many neo-classical and ambient house influences partly instigated by Imogen Heap, David Edwards (Minotuar Shock) Recent Innovators in the field include The Imagined Village, Jim Moray, Haiku Salut, Gadarene and The Urban Folk Theory — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 09:32, 21 June 2017 (UTC) perhaps you could listen to my playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2PHIvQsIXG1NMZCwgPuutchS4s36Kz4b and dispute reasonably which of these artists are not folktronica - i.e. actually dispute it like a grown up not just redact it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 10:19, 21 June 2017 (UTC) and coz you can't just say that official sources must be cited one minute and then say it's a buzzword the next - - u r a fellatious twonk - look up the key phrase — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 13:42, 21 June 2017 (UTC) have cake and eat it springs to mind - one minute it needs to be carved in stone and the next it's a buzzword - make your fucking mind up! and I'm suggesting that you can't keep deleting credible sources from an entry without precedent - how about querying contributors rather than deleting them??? just an idea....
 * I'm suggesting that you can't use Wikipedia as an outlet for your original (independent) research. Read WP:!TRUTHFINDERS and WP:NOORIGINALRESEARCH. If you can find published writers or music critics discussing the history of a genre called "folktronica", by all means add their perspectives. I've tried to do it myself, but nothing seemed to turn up.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 23:07, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Random YouTube playlists aren't credible sources.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 22:01, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Your redactions are totally un-informative and just bloody stop doing it!!! You seem to think that electronic folk music was invented in the year 2000 and you keep deleting anyone else's contribution on that basis, just stop it - I think that's pretty clear...crystal in fact — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artykmbandmaster (talk • contribs) 01:04, 23 June 2017 (UTC) I don't give a tits what you think is a non credible source - if you can delete this http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/ultramarine/folk/ from the wikki entry 1989 "folktronica" read it and weep, then why the tits should I care what you keep redacting?
