Disruptive Editing/Edit wars
(See also User talk:2601:2C4:C481:66B0:DDD3:66A3:2A65:449D) (moved from User talk:Beland)

Perhaps you could help me with this. The wiki page for the band named “In This Moment” needs to have the genre changed from rock to metal as they are a metal band. The musicians in the band are on record saying they are a metal band and countless credible media outlets refer to them as being a metal band as well. In fact, if you google “In This Moment genre” metal is what appears. However, whenever someone tries to make this change the user “Bowling is Life” reverts the changes and deams them to be “disruptive” in spite of the facts. This person has done this to other users in the past when they have tried to correct the band’s genre. There is another user named “Binksternet” who I believe is just “Bowling is Life” on another account who keeps reverting the changes as well. I have presented the facts to them, but they refuse to accept the changes. How can we resolve this? I have added a few sources below

 * Normally you would resolve this sort of dispute by discussing the issue on Talk:In This Moment with and . I see no evidence that these two accounts are the same person; sockpuppetry is not allowed and is a serious accusation I would not make lightly. The first thing I would normally do is to ask these editors why they object to the genre "metal". But Bowling is life has already spelled this out in an edit summary: "Keep the genre broad. Metal is a subgenre of rock and they are not strictly metal. Look at all the genres in the musical style section. Rock is a better description for the lead." Apparently sources support the idea that this band does other types of rock music in addition to metal, so that makes sense to me. Given the prominence of metal in their work, if you wish to mention that in the short description and first sentence, perhaps it would make sense to mention both rock and metal in some way. It might help to ask the other editors what they think. -- Beland (talk) 06:31, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
