Hello! Your recent genre change to Streets (song), in which you changed the genre listed in the infobox from "R&B" to "soul", conflicts with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. I know it may be tempting to "correct" information in articles about songs, especially when it comes to genres. However, per the aforementioned policies, we have to go by what reliable, independent sources explicitly state the genre of a song is. WP:EXPLICITGENRE further explains why this is the case! While yes, the article body includes the "soulful" adjective when describing "Streets", its genre is not explicitly stated as being soul; hence, I reverted your changes. If you feel like sharing your disagreements with me, you can provide reliable sources that argue for your point (a list of such sources you can peruse to support your claims can be found here), or seek consensus on the article's talk page. Thank you so much! <3 ‍ ‍ elias. 🧣 ‍  ‍ 💬reach out to me 📝see my work 13:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Genre in "Streets" infobox
Hello IP! I can't ping you in the talk page for "Streets" because you are an unregistered user, so I will leave my message here. If you wish, you may log in or register a new account if you wish to get pinged in the aforementioned talk page so we can discuss the issue further in that forum!

I noticed that you undid my revert that changed the genre for "Streets" back to R&B after you changed it to soul. No reliable sources that discuss the song say that its genre is "soul," and the closest someone got to that is a Billboard article on "Streets" describing it as soulful. Which mind, is still not enough to warrant its genre being called soul per WP:EXPLICITGENRE; the same Billboard piece still calls it an R&B song. "An R&B post-breakup ballad that showcases Doja Cat’s vocal range ..." However, I will be willing to reinstate your edits if you show me a reliable source that does explicitly call it a soul song!

Please note that inserting your own take on a song's genre, or a take that is not supported by a reliable source, is a violation of Wikipedia's core policies  on neutral POV and original research. I believe I have already explained in the above post why this is the case, so I encourage you to refer to it if you want to know more. In short, many listeners can have varying, conflicting opinions on what song belongs to which genres. This can cause disagreements; thus, to establish consensus, we have to default to what reliable sources for music topics like Billboard, Pitchfork, and Consequence say. And all of these sources that describe the genre for "Streets" all say it is R&B.

I looked at your contributions and noticed that you are doing the same things to other Doja Cat songs and songs from artists associated with her, like Doja's "Tia Tamera" and Nicki's "Pills and Potions". Some of these contributions have been reverted by other users because they are unsourced changes. I want to engage in good faith and assume your intentions are to improve the quality of song-related articles on Wikipedia. However, this pattern of behaviour is called genre warring, and this could lead to you getting blocked for disruptive editing.

Please stop overwriting these genres without an adequate explanation for the change. Instead, discuss these changes with pertinent editors in the articles' respective talk pages to avoid starting an edit war, no matter how good the intentions. Thank you!
