Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Slippery When Wet, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you.  STATic  message me!  00:38, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Risk (Megadeth album), without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 21:51, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Your genre changes to "Nothing Else Matters" were questionable, unexplained, and unsourced as well. Continuing to do this, despite warnings, could get you blocked from editing, so please stop this. Thanks. Sergecross73  msg me   15:48, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Sock Puppet
Let's cut to the chase: Are you that same user who is always altering the genre at the article at Nickelback related articles and other mainstream bands like them? The same guy who continually does this under all of those other names, like TheCalling2002, PostGrungeFan, WiiU91, 50.133.243.249, etc etc ect? Because it looks like you're making the same changes as that guy. (Altering band's genre, adding long, rambling edits, about commercial/mainstream success, etc.) Sergecross73   msg me   20:35, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Last warning - stop changing genre without reason or providing a reliable source. You've been warned several times. Next one will result in a block. Sergecross73   msg me   21:18, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ''I gave you a last warning, and yet you're changing genre once again without edit summary, source, or explanation at all. I've also got a feeling you've been warned about this before...'' Sergecross73   msg me   19:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Blocked, Why?
I have been blocked on February 18, 2014. Now, I didn't understand what Sergecross73 told me, he told me that I have been blocked for my not a reason for a source. Well, I had a source on the Switchfoot, The Legend Of Chin album. I had a source of genres that put Alternative Rock, Post-grunge, and Hard rock. That is a source. Now, I never understand why he blocked me? I want a more reasonable reason on why did I got blocked, rather than not me putting a source because I put a source.
 * After 4 warnings above to stop changing genre without source, explanation, or edit summary, you made this edit. You were given 4 warnings, and then you did it again. So you were blocked. Very simple. When your block has expired, stop constantly changing genre without edit summary, discussion, or source. Sergecross73   msg me   21:53, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Also, please read WP:GENREWARRIOR. Wikipedia strongly discourages editors who all they do is go around changing genre according to their personal opinion, without any discussion, reasoning, or source. Sergecross73  msg me   21:57, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Alright, is true that I edit on the Gone wikipedia and put no source at all. I am sorry for what I have done. However, I thought it was for The Legend Of Chin album because I put a source. For the Gone wikipedia, yeah, I decided not to put a source on that because most singles wikipedia, don't have a source. You got me in that one. Sorry.

Still no sources
You have made many changes today and none of them were made with the sources. You may have sources but you're not providing them. Please start adding sources. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, you added a few sources! Thanks. You'll get the hang of it soon. Please ask me if you have any questions. I added the Strong Tower material back (with a bit of English grammar magic) and added appropriate certifications. Thanks for the info, but do add references. Thanks.
 * Please reset the warning count to 0 now. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:54, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay thanks. I do have sources but sometimes I am just lazy to add some. I will try my best to add them. Thanks.

Further Genre Warring
From looking at your contributions, was your very first edit after coming off of a block for 3 days for changing genre without edit summary, discussion, or reliable source, a decision to make an edit where you changed a genre without edit summary, discussion, or reliable source? Seriously? This just got you blocked. Usually, this would lead to another block, but it appears that you started using some sources in your later edits. But seriously, if you do it anymore, you're blocked again, because you've been warned enough about this.

Also, as you were notified above, you cannot use RateYourMusic type websites as a source, because that information can be changed/added by anyone, and as such, isn't a reliable source. Sergecross73  msg me   18:44, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay thanks, but listen, sometimes is hard to find a source for a genre. Many people like to edit on random stuff in other websites and people still used it as a source. If I do anything weird just blocked me. But, I will try my best to find a good source.
 * The whole point of Wikipedia is to provide information that can be verified by reliable sources. If it can't be verified, and you can't find a source, then chances are it doesn't really belong on Wikipedia. Sergecross73   msg me   21:31, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
