Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Skillet (band), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or 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. Also, please refer to WP:GWAR for additional info about genre policies on Wikipedia. FCGreg (talk) 10:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Which ones specifically? Some of their earlier stuff in “awake” like monster, its not me its you etc are classified as progressive metal, and others from their much earlier records like invincible were post-grunge, And although not a lot of people would call them power metal, I believe songs like rise up from their 2019 record do fit that genre, im more supprised how alt rock got verified. I just wanted to make it as accurate as possible. FuctUpLivingston (talk) 11:07, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello again. This issue of mapping appropriate genres for a specific band comes up for conflict on a regular basis here. Take a look back through the edit history of Skillet's page for examples (search for Genre or WP:GWAR). This usually happens because when you get too specific in genres, others begin to disagree with you. Then an edit-war usually ensues, requiring a moderator to shut it down and/or block accounts.
 * In general, if you want to set or change a genre, it must be done with reliable, supporting references. For example, if you have a reference from John Cooper or the record label specifying a certain genre for a certain song/album/etc. you should be fine making that change (just include the reference). Again, that WP:GWAR article has good information about this topic, although some things in the article don't apply to you. I hope that helps. FCGreg (talk) 11:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * How do i add references, do i just post the link to my source where you would usually write in genres? FuctUpLivingston (talk) 11:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll add a welcome message shortly, but generally, with a band that has been around for a while, we tend to focus on broad genres, not specific ones. We also look at genres that repeat across albums. It's best not to reference something in the infobox itself. If you want to list genres for specific albums, you would do so in a style or genre section on that album. If you want to reference something in the band article, there may be a style section in the article itself. Recognize that a prominent source like Billboard, AllMusic, Rolling Stone, Kerrang!, etc., will carry more weight than a small publication. Don't even try to use a blog or user review as doing so will result in the content being removed. Again, that's for trying to improve the project. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:53, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I just read your comments above and I've never once seen Skillet referred to or even thought of as progressive metal. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:55, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I could easily also say ive never heard them reffered to as symphonic, alt rock or nu metal either, but their all on this list. Progressive metal at least is more easily verifyable than alt rock or symphonic metal, when you look up the band, all their most popular songs, the first and most of the songs you see are labeled with that genre.
