Please do not add or change content, as you did at The 1975, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 19:40, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * How do I cite their genres? If you listened to their music, you could tell the genres I listed are there. Are you looking for me to cite with links to professional reviews, which are their opinion and not reliable facts? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamaispas (talk • contribs)


 * You can cite the genres by following the directions at WP:CITE. Reliable sources for genres can be found at WikiProject Albums/Sources which says, for instance, that AllMusic sidebar genres are not reliable, nor are Sputnik "user" reviews (go with Staff or Emeritus reviews.)
 * Genres are WP:Subjective, and are therefore in need of attribution. You can't just listen to a song and decide what genre it is, except for a very small fraction of songs such as obvious Christmas music, played in December, describing Santa Claus.
 * Also, genres in the infobox are supposed to be limited to four or less. Any excess genres are to be discussed in prose in the article body. It's more work to use prose, so that's why genre warring is a thing: it's for the people who are lazier. Binksternet (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at The 1975 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
