Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to NF (rapper), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and 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. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:59, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there Walter. I recently tried to make an edit to the genre for NF (rapper) in an effort to make a change supported by the artist. Here's the article and quote I referenced: http://www.idolator.com/7632096/nf-interview-nate-feuerstein-therapy-session. Is there a particular reason why it was overturned?

 * When I reverted, the comment I made was something to the effect that the subject doesn't get to decide their own genre, reliable sources state the genre. In NF's case, his music has won awards in the Christian market so it's hard from him to claim that he's not a member of the community, especially when he has not returned those awards. So feel free to tell him he can try to drop the label, but it doesn't matter. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:04, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I respect your history and the edits you've made for the genre and understand NF wouldn't get to decide his own genre. However, his music only charts on iTunes in Hip-Hop/Rap, not in the Christian category. He is also on now the Caroline label under Capitol Records, not Capitol Christian Music Group. Taylor Swift changed from Country to Pop, so it is possible for artists to change and I would apply the same example here with NF. She won awards in Country, but doesn't have the label in her initial description. For those reasons, it only feels right that this artist be listed as an American rapper without the Christian label.
