Talk:My Moment (Rebecca Black song)

Mixed vs. Negative
How are her reviews "mixed"? I view them as "almost exclusively negative", because that's what they are. Of the selection offered in the article, only a single review can be viewed as neutral while another is positive. That's 2 non-negative reviews out of 9. And that's not exactly representative of the "real" ratio of negative to non-negative reviews, that's just a selection of reviews. If we base it off the 2/9 ratio, 2/9 is 22.22%. Which means that 77.78% of reviews were negative. When 77.78% of reviews are negative, we don't call it mixed to negative. Take a look at any movie Wiki page. If they get a 22.22% or below score on Rotten Tomatoes, their Critical Reception entry will not read "Mixed to negative". If we remove the one neutral review, we get a 1/9 ratio, a 88.89% ratio of negative reviews.

We cannot in good conscience refer to the reviews as mixed. They are "almost exclusively negative" (a search for reviews reveal that the ratio of non-negative to negative reviews is far more slanted towards the negative side than a 22.22% vs. 77.78% ratio) or, at "best", "mostly negative". If you disagree, please present your case. Yuna-chan (talk) 23:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the problem is that calling them 'negative reviews' is upsetting to the fans. I think the proper terminology would be that the song had 'poor reviews.'  This way it doesn't sound quite so negative, but it does show that the reviews were not good or mixed. Housewatcher (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * And I'm sure that saying the Netherlands lost the 2010 World Cup is upsetting to Dutch football fans, but that's the truth. You can't lie and/or use weasel words just because you want to cater to one specific minority. Sellyme Talk 09:47, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm just saying that maybe that would help with the editing war. I had to have the page protected due to the mass reverts.  I think using 'poor reviews' is a good neutral way to stop all the bickering so this page isn't edited every 5 seconds.Housewatcher (talk) 15:38, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * How about we just ban everyone who edits the page to slant th facts? Don't directly lie to readers ("Mixed") and don't use weasel words ("Poor"). Look up any piece which receives reviews as bad as "My Moment". Heck, "Terminator Salvation", with a 33% "fresh" rate on Rotten Tomatoes is listed as having "predominantly negative" reviews. This is Wikipedia. List the facts, the fans be damned. Who cares what a vocal minority want or do not want? If they try to edit in things which go against Wikipedia's guidelines, don't use weasel words to appease them. Ban them from editing. If we tried to change the facts or use weasel words to appease a vocal minority every time they tried to make something they like sound better reviewed than it actually is, Wikipedia would be a cesspool of non-information.

 * I think everyone is being stubborn on this topic. Fans are overly slanting one way and other people who don't even like the singer or the song insist on being in an editing war over calling the reviews negative.  I think we should just call them poor reviews so every side will just shut up. LongLiveMusic (talk) 04:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with LongLiveMusic. - Sauloviegas (talk) 19:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Lolol ban people from editing? It's called a proxy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.171.109 (talk) 19:04, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
