Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Nsevs •  Talk  05:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Im dont wanna be kicked out, I'm just putting the genre that fits best Iamthegoat524 (talk) 06:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Steppin' Out (Joe Jackson song), you may be blocked from editing. Materialscientist (talk) 22:59, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * How does discussion work? Iamthegoat524 (talk) 23:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You can discuss the genre on the article's talk page by clicking "Talk" just below the article title. (For example Talk:Steppin' Out (Joe Jackson song).) But please read the information at WP:GWAR. You need to have a reliable source that describes the genre, and not just your opinion. Nsevs  •  Talk  04:05, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Genres and sourcing on Wikipedia
Hello, I see that you have had some of your edits reverted. I don't doubt that you're adding these genres in good faith, but please read WP:Genre warrior for information about how genres function on Wikipedia. You cannot cite user-generated or self-published sources (like the Steve Hoffman forums that you cited at True (Spandau Ballet song)), or auto-generated genres from Spotify (as chosic.com provides, which you cited on multiple other pages). See WP:UGC for more information about why this is.

I'm not trying to come down on you, since I do believe that you are trying to constructively contribute and cite sources for your information. However, these kinds of sources are not reliable by Wikipedia standards. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

 * did you block my edits with sources Iamthegoat524 (talk) 14:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I reverted your addition of "rock and roll" to "Pump It Up". The source is Far Out magazine which is crap. They scrape the web for content. And even if it was a good magazine, the source is saying that "Pump It Up" is more in the direction of rock'n'roll than any other Elvis Costello song. That doesn't mean it gets all the way there to official rock and roll musical genre. Binksternet (talk) 00:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * What about Cars by Gary Numan. Yes, I know AllMusic is not that reliable, but I see others with an All Music source. Iamthegoat524 (talk) 00:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You must be referring to this edit where you said "Cars" is a "disco=rock" song. Your source is not a human writing prose about the genre so it is not reliable. Instead, your source is a collection of songs that some record producer thought could be sold as "Disco Rock Classics". That kind of thing will never be a reliable source on Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 06:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * oh okay Iamthegoat524 (talk) 14:57, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * someone deleted the genre on my we got the beat edit Iamthegoat524 (talk) 23:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I did. You cited medium.com which is poor quality, basically a blog host. See WP:MEDIUM which says we should not consider it reliable. Binksternet (talk) 00:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * oh okay Iamthegoat524 (talk) 02:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * did you delete my edit on don't give up? Iamthegoat524 (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. The cited source was not explicitly describing the song's genre. See WP:EXPLICITGENRE. The source was talking about a "pop performance", not a pop song. Binksternet (talk) 06:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Why was "Addicted to Love" reverted? I'm sorry if I keep forgetting, it's my first time. Iamthegoat524 (talk) 02:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have a question, if a website is stating that a song is a "punk dance rocker", should I use Dance-punk or Dance-rock as a genre Iamthegoat524 (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at We Got the Beat. Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:28, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The source in the Discogs was the part that said the style was punk and pop rock. Someone else did the same thing on "Couldn't get it Right" Iamthegoat524 (talk) 00:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Discogs is not considered reliable. See WP:ALBUMAVOID. People can log on anytime and change the facts, which is why it fails WP:USERG. The only reliable thing at Discogs are the images taken of album credits and liner notes, especially if there are several editions of the release so that the images can be compared. If someone actually wrote on the "We Got the Beat" release that it was punk or pop rock, then that person could be quoted as an interesting side note, but liner note authors are primary sources, not WP:SECONDARY. Uninvolved music critics are the defining sources for genre. Binksternet (talk) 02:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain namespaces ((Article)) for disruptive edits to genres. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * You can't do this too me. The Heartbeat City edit was reliable btw and the Russians edit was also reliable.  As well as the Blondie one, you don't get to block me. Iamthegoat524 (talk) 23:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Listen I'm sorry, just please don't block me, I promise my sources will be reliable. ￼ Iamthegoat524 (talk) 00:06, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, Iamthegoat524,
 * Saying "You can't do this to me" will never get you unblocked. We need to see that you are aware of your mistakes (specify what they are) and that you will not do them in the future. Begging and pleading have only negative effect on the administrator who will review this unblock request. I HIGHLY recommend you read Guide to appealing blocks which tells you exactly what you need to do to be unblocked. Unfortunately, for some unknown reasons, most blocked editors don't even look at this page which the blocking admin advises that you read. Geting unblocked isn't a matter of spending 3 minutes writing up a "Don't block me" request but showing you understand why you have been blocked.
 * You have already been blocked several times for the exact same problems so if you are still being blocked over genres, you're going to have to be very convincing that these problems won't come up in the future. Admins don't want to return to block you every time there is a future problem. Liz Read! Talk! 07:44, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello there!
Hi, So I tried talking to HJ Mitchell, the administrator who blocked me, he didn't respond. Apparently, I want to be unblocked from Wikipedia because I like editing genres with source. And I'm not trying to disruptive or a jerk, I just want to make edits. Sorry If they are not reliable, I'll try to do better if I can find a way to find out if a source is reliable. Just trying to do my best! From, iamthegoat524 Iamthegoat524 (talk) 03:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

You still aren't pointing to a history of successful edit requests on article talk pages. Either do so or remove your unblock request. You are very close to having your block extended site-wide. --Yamla (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * How do I remove it? Iamthegoat524 (talk) 15:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, you have made some good edits. How about we give you a couple more chances? Spenceyg (talk) 15:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, I have never been unblocked, so I think I should leave. I realized I have made mistakes and I loved editing, but I can't do it anymore, so I'm going to leave under one condition. Please don't revert my edits. Iamthegoat524 (talk) 23:59, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You are not in a position to impose conditions. --Yamla (talk) 00:00, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok Iamthegoat524 (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Under whatever name, you're blocked
Attempting to return with a different username ("Spencer524", "Spencyg", or whatever) will not succeed. By doing this, you've merely been digging yourself into a deeper hole. Suggestion: read Guide to appealing blocks carefully and take what it says seriously. -- Hoary (talk) 23:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Request
I will try a standard offer and edit on Simple English Wiki. Iamthegoat524 (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
