Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Where Ya At, 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. Binksternet (talk) 18:19, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Metallica , without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:18, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Crunkcore. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:46, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
- I may be blocked from editing for changing genres without consensus on this page, but I don't see what I did wrong. If I did do you wrong, I didn't mean any harm, but I though the Other Topics section was linking to articles similar to that page. I was trying to help, but if it wasn't helpful I apologize, but I hope I don't get blocked from editing because of that mistake. @FlightTime:

- Changes to genres require reliable source and consensus beforehand, changing genres without these requirments is considered disruptive. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:57, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
- @FlightTime: The thing is, I didn't think it needed consensus if I was just going to put it in "Other Topics", as the other topics section I thought was just for articles similar to it. Somebody added Emo hip hop beforehand and then it was erased (since the same guy tried to erase the whole article), so when the emo hip hop article was recovered, I added it back to the "Other Topics" section.

- Just don't change genres without a source and a discussion seeking consensus and you'll be fine. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

"SoundCloud rap" is not an established genre and is simply a term (just like mumble rap), and the source you cited does not use the term in any way. Many other similar rappers have used SoundCloud, such as Uzi, Yachty, and still fall under the categories of "hip hop" and "trap". So if you were wondering why I removed the genre that is why. Bapreme (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Bapreme: I've learned this the hard way, trust me. Wikipedia is built entirely on secondary sources. As much as I'd want to change some genres on Wikipedia, sometimes they are not backed up by sources. If you can reach consensus on the talk page of the Lil Pump mixtape, then we can allow trap to be in the genre list. SoundCloud rap has been identified as a microgenre of music, and same with mumble rap. Hip hop is okay to leave because it's such a general term, but I would think that trap would need a source. I can relate to you wanting to remove/add genres, as I've tried multiple times to add genres to pages such as System of a Down or Die Antwoord that have been removed since I had no sources, since I was using the music itself as a source. Currently, it's not an option to just use the actual music as a source. Also, the source states "SoundCloud rapper" which is associated with the genre.

- @SuperLuigi22: Trap is a very acceptable genre choice and does not need a source as the word "trap" is said in multiple songs in the album. Bapreme (talk) 22:25, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Bapreme: Well then there you go, I'd say you can keep trap. Just don't remove SoundCloud rap as it technically has been identified as a microgenre and has been associated with this mixtape.

Harry Styles (album)
Per your edit to Harry Styles (album), Britpop has a capital B because it is based on a proper noun. Same with Latin music—Latin is a proper noun, and the L is always capitalised. Practically all other genres are not proper nouns so do not need capitals. Ss112 15:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. SuperLuigi22 (talk) 15:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
