Talk:Wake Up (Youngblood Hawke album)

Genre issue
Why does everyone always undo me when I add more genres? -3jz01bcs
 * Because you don't seem to know what you're doing and you keep adding genres for the sake of adding genres (I mean, maximalist pop?). I'll copy and paste part of the discussion on my talk page here: First, I had to instruct you how to cite your changes. Then, I had to stress the WP:RS policy of Wikipedia, as the sources were not reliable. Even if you have progressed past those issues, the real problem here is that you are still being a "genre warrior" and focusing most of your edits on making the genre field of article in line with what you feel is right. I really need to stress this essay to explain why all these edits are counterproductive. Take this quote from the essay, for example:
 * "Most of the time, one genre per infobox is sufficient. Some guidelines for picking the best genre out of many options: pick one which is the most all-encompassing, or which reflects the style of music the group is best known for (at the time of the album, if it's an album article). For example, progressive rock is a very wide field. It can include the experimentation of A Saucerful of Secrets, the fusion of orchestral and rock music in Atom Heart Mother, the sound collage found in The Dark Side of the Moon, and the folky songs on More. These sub-genres can be mentioned in the body of the article, and "progressive rock" can be a summary of them all, for the infobox. During the time of these albums, Pink Floyd were regarded as a progressive rock band, regardless of their dabbling in other genres on any given album, and this fact should also be a guide to the genre used for album articles, as long as there is no compelling reason why that categorization should be considered inappropriate for a particular album."
 * Ultimately, you could find 25 different reviews of Wake Up that describe it 25 different ways, but that doesn't mean it falls under 25 genres or even needs that level of detail about the sound in the genre field. For the sake of addressing your specific edits: "alternative rock" does not appear in the prose of the review, only on the sidebar of the Allmusic site, which is not considered a reliable source. "Psychedelic pop" doesn't appear in an other critics' description of the album and seems like a completely out-of-place label for the album. On the other hand, indie pop, electropop (or synthpop),   and indie rock   appear in multiple reviews. I see no reason to continue to reverting the changes, particularly after you were just blocked for edit warring. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk &bull;  contributions) 04:55, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
