Please do not add or change content, as you did at When the Pawn…, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Pillowdelight (talk) 19:09, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's what the genres originally were. Changing it to Alt pop based on a new article from a small online only magazine no one has heard of makes less sense. When the Pawn is listed as alternative rock almost anywhere else. There is no good source material for any genres outside of Pitchfork categorizing it in rock and Allmusic categorizing it as alternative rock, pop and singer-songwriter. The general opinion is that it's an alternative rock, chamber pop, piano rock, art pop album with art rock and jazz influences. Fiona Apple isn't associated with alternative pop nor is she thought of as alternative pop. Getting rid of the genre list entirely that has been there for ages just because you can't find any good source is stupid when that's the norm for most albums on this site. The original genre list was more accurate and so it has stood the longest. The artist and the record should be understood and evaluated better than that. Change it back to the original genre list or I'll do it myself. Thank you. Longislandtea (talk) 00:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if the article is "new" just because it refers to the album as alternative pop - even if you believe it's incorrect. We go by what sources say, regardless of how editors feel. Stop adding unsourced genres, I've had to remove them several times now. If there's no source included don't add it. Pillowdelight (talk) 07:56, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources can be inaccurate and irrelevant. If one where to add any source one pleases, the entire site would be filled with inaccurate information. Your source is inaccurate and that's you stand in opposition to every other editor who has edited the genre list. It's simply inaccurate. There is no other source for alt pop on this album than the rinky-dinky source you could cherrypick. It's far from an alt pop album. The third rule for sources on Wikipedia is about authenticity. Your source does not pass the legitimacy and relevance needed. Longislandtea (talk) 19:03, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at When the Pawn…, you may be blocked from editing. Pillowdelight (talk) 07:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added source material, 2 sources in fact. Not only is the poor source material of yours new and inaccurate. It also comes from an unknown online magazine. It's just improper. Please stop acting like the authority of this album. Every big music site, rateyourmusic, albumoftheyear and allmusic, has the genres that were originally listed on here until you changed it to a genre that is associated with the 2010s rise of Lorde and Lana del Rey. A scene which Fiona Apple is not apart of and certainly wasn't in the late 90s. If you're going to edit and act like the authority, you should have better knowledge of music genres and the artist in question. Longislandtea (talk) 18:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Pillowdelight (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at When the Pawn... 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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Since you have an active report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, I highly advise you to stop edit-warring. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 00:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
