3 Korn quotes??? Places undue emphasis on one band that was influenced, would benefit from a diversity of perspectives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.220.144.149 (talk) 19:01, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Genre summarization
These two edits, by two different IPs, are demonstrable of a failure to understand how Wikipedia articles should be curated: 12:21, December 24, 2022–21:32, December 24, 2022 and 03:29, December 25, 2022–06:17, December 25, 2022. The lead section and infobox serve as summaries of the article content, and if the IPs took the time to read the article as it stood before the aforementioned edits with deference to WP:DUEWEIGHT and WP:SUMMARY, they might appreciate that the infobox stated properly only those genres most good sources agree upon, where those sources' claims are covered in the article content, and the lead was doing the same. Genres less commonly mentioned by sources may be mentioned in the article content (which they were), with due weight, but not featured as a summary of the genre of the album in the lead or infobox. This is common knowledge for any editor who knows what they're doing, and constantly reverting work to fix the failure to follow these guidelines is practically vandalism, not in small part since the recent edit summaries clearly outline these guidelines as applicable. It may also be prudent for the IPs to read the sources more carefully too. 08:46, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

This issue has turned shamefully into an unreasonable edit war and as such I have reported it at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring  21:41, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
