Welcome to Wikipedia, JackHalloween! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page.

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Come as You Are (Nirvana song), 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. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 02:40, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm sorry if my genre changes of some nirvana songs don't follow the rules, didn't come from reliable sources, or weren't discussed. I was trying to enrich the band's sound, based solely on Kurt's 50 Favorite Albums list, which I recommend you read. Once again I apologize and will try not to repeat the same mistake.

 * No problem, that is quite a common mistake. You'd think something would be done about informing people...
 * You might check out wp:WikiProject Music, wp:WikiProject Music/Music genres task force, and wp:WikiProject Musicians. I'm not familiar with these, so I don't know how much help they would be.
 * There is this rather amusing essay (not policy) on the topic: wp:Genre warrior. Don't get put off by it, as you don't fit that description. Some will make dozens of rapid-fire edits, get blocked, then change user names or IP addresses and repeat. Enjoy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Adakiko (talk) 19:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
