Revert at Yes (band)
Hello, I wanted to let you know that I reverted your recent edit at Yes (band). Mainly because Pop Rock is mentioned in the article: see "1982–1988: Reformation, 90125 and Big Generator", Owner of a Lonely Heart, etc. Beyond that, though, I could see an argument for not mentioning it as it may not "define" Yes as a band, but I think that should be discussed on the talk page.

Hello, I'm FlightTime. Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to I Should Have Known Better even if you provide a/some source(s), you'll still need to start a discussion on the article talk page to allow editors who regular watch that page a chance to discuss the reliability of the source(s) you provided. One reason is, genre sources can easily be considered an opinion and not fact. Genre's are a touchy subject here on Wikipedia and without discussion/consensus, regardless of your source(s), your addition or removal will most likely be reverted. Your edit has been reverted and archived in the [ page history] for now. Unsourced genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 20:58, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at I'll Cry Instead, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 21:00, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The sources I have supplied are unequivocal in their labelling of the songs as pop rock Rhythmspirit (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you explain why these sources aren’t sufficient? Rhythmspirit (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That is exactly why a discussion needs to take place, I'm not saying the "Genre" is wrong, it's the reliability of the source your using. Genre assignment is just a persons opinion, who's to say one opinion is better then an other, talk about it and come to a consensus first. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 21:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

I totally agree, but would argue that a genre that is sourced is better than one that is both unsourced and undiscussed, as is the case with I Should Have Known Better and Every Little Thing. Rhythmspirit (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Exactly... start a discussion on any page you intend to change genre(s), so you can argue that a genre that is sourced is better.  -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 21:57, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Introducing... The Beatles. Sundayclose (talk) 19:57, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at If I Needed Someone shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
