User:Key of G Minor/Don't be attracted to the infobox's bright colors

A lot of the time, editors (particularly genre and ideology warriors) will edit the infobox rather than anything in the text. This is usually because the infobox is the first thing people look at the second the page loads. If someone is editing Green Day and they see "Genres: Punk rock, pop-punk, skate punk, alternative rock, power pop", their knee-jerk reaction is I'm a punk rock elitist, and they're too popular! I'm gonna remove "punk rock" from the genres without changing the large, meaty text! because the text is big. It's scary. For an IP or brand-new users, it's intimidating and complex. If you're gonna be a genre or ideology warrior and change, add or remove things without sources, at least delve into the juicer parts of the text.

Person
This rule also applies to other types of infoboxes. For instance, to a infobox for a person, if it says someone was Born: January 1, 2000 New York City, New York But one thinks it was more in Queens, they would also be attracted to the infobox's bright colors. Same also applies to the "Occupations" section. Yes, technically, John Lennon acted in A Hard Day's Night and other Beatles movies, but he's not listed as an actor.

Countries
Switzerland has two capitals: Bern and Lausanne. If one doesn't think that's true, than one might delete that, without knowing why it's the way it is. Also, if you disagree with the founding date or something along the lines, they would also be attracted to the infobox's bright colors.

...however...
It depends. If, the infobox says something obviously wrong, (i.e. N.W.A being Easy listening, Nazi Germany being Progressivist), duh! Be bold and change it. If in doubt, discuss it on the talk page.

Criticism
Among the main criticism of this essay is that it encourages telling already bombarded newcomers to make genre warrior edits in prose, but not the infobox. This is only semi-true. The point of the article isn't to suggest a newcomer to make such an edit, the point is to say that if you're going to make such an edit, don't just do it in the infobox, at least change the body text.
