Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia Ravenfate, from WikiProject Editor Retention
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. Remember—each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Beyoncé, 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) 18:07, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The headline of the citation (previously added for house) in the Beyoncé article was “'Renaissance' Is A Love Letter To The Black Queer Roots Of Dance Music”, it mentioned House along with Disco music. Beyoncé also released multiple famous singles, (“Single Ladies”,”Run the World”,”Deja Vu”) which where described as Dance or Club-ready songs by music critics. For Big Artists the genres on Wikipedia are also commonly described with umbrella therms, for example Madonna has incorporated Disco and House subgenres in her albums and all of this is summed up with the Dance label.

Hi - can I draw your attention to WP:LOUTSOCK? Policy does not require any of us to log in before we edit pages, and you are not prohibited from sometimes editing as an IP, and sometimes through an account. I would note however that an editor who sometimes edits in a given subject area using an account, and sometimes does so using IP addresses, might give the impression that they are attempting to evade scrutiny? I would encourage you, therefore, to stick to one or the other; personally, I'd recommend using the account, since it makes communication easier, but that would be your choice.
