Talk:Oh My God (Adele song)/Archive 1

Genre(s)
Hello. You wrote "Stop this nonsense" in the edit summary with a link for Genre warrior; I don't remember having created my WP account to do genre warring, and if I were a GW, I would not use the talk page.

Funny thing is, you reverted an edit to keep the dance-pop genre on 13 January 2022, but now you say that I am doing nonsense because I reverted the modification of the IP... who removed the dance-pop genre.

What I had in mind was not "elements" nor "influences" but rather "R&B" since it's quite clear in the article. What is ironic is that WP:EXPLICITGENRE says: "When you see a source mention a genre, it must use direct language. Like so: ... a successful fusion of jazz rap ...", is considered correct. Now when we read in the article: "... while Consequence's Mary Siroky and Glenn Rowley believed it 'incorporates more R&B sounds, is it no longer good? Also, the sentence in the article says "with elements of R&B" with a source by Sputnikmusic which says: "Rn'B style pop hits like 'Oh My God, it is still not enough? An experienced user has done a lot of work on the "Oh My God" article and, just like me, is not bothered by R&B. Oroborvs (talk) 22:33, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * If you have to talk to me directly, please use my talk page. Now coming to the topic, I wasn't addressing you or any other editor specifically. I saw a lot of reverting activity on this article, and I simply removed the "element" genres from the infobox. I detest genre wars and indeed find them nonsensical because they hinder our editorial ability and make the article unstable. Nevertheless, if you felt like my edit summary was directed at you, I am sorry about that. Regards.  ℛonherry  ☘  08:57, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * And no, "experience" doesn't overrule sources. If there is no source calling Oh My God an "R&B song", then R&B shall not be mentioned in the infobox.  ℛonherry  ☘  08:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * You did address me, and I answer you. The article's talk page is used to reach a consensus, but you are not taking into account the opinion of others. Well, you removed dance-pop without any explanation, and it's the others who are making edit wars. You removed two genres that were initially in the infobox mentioning "elements" while I restored it once, but that's still questionable considering other sources. WP:EXPLICITGENRE does not use the words "genre" or "song" in its two examples but words like "quintessential example of avant-rock" and "fusion of jazz rap"; but according to you, "Rn'B style pop" and "R&B sounds" are not the same thing, and we should not include R&B in the infobox. If it has an R&B sound ... that means it is not R&B.


 * Ronherry, isn't that unstable? Oroborvs (talk) 23:34, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Somehow I missed this discussion entirely. Between "incorporates elements of R&B", "Rn’B style pop hit" and "incorporates more R&B sounds", R&B absolutely has to be mentioned in the article in some capacity for the sake of comprehensiveness.--NØ 15:00, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
