Speedy deletion nomination of Angel's Knock

Hello Kim Dong Kyu,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Angel's Knock for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Meatsgains ( talk) 19:48, 25 December 2016 (UTC) reply

File permission problem with File:Airwarcrystalcastlesnap.png

Thanks for uploading File:Airwarcrystalcastlesnap.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{ OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Big Enough (Kirin J. Callinan song), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages EDM and Country song ( check to confirm |  fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Dynamite

There are sources calling Hotline Bling a single off of Views. There are no sources calling Dynamite a single off of Be. Yea it’s a single, and yea it’s included on the album, but unless there are sources saying 'Bts new single off of their new album, Dynamite' or something like that, we can’t include it as that would be WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. So please self-revert (revert your edit) until we have sources saying the song is a single off of the album. D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 19:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC) reply

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Dynamite (BTS song) 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Control copyright icon Hello GogoLion! Your additions to Styles of pop music have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 16:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Music genre hierarchy

Hey. As I see, you mainly basing and creating hierarchy according to Allmusic. I don't recommend doing that, as there are a lot of mistakes, conventions and inaccuracies. Their hierarchy often feels senseless and way too random, not talking about that it has not been updated for 15 years already. For example, they use the whole New Age category as a group of everything that doesn't fit in the other categories, while for traditional folk music they sometimes use 3 different entries for the same genre, placing it in 3 different places in the hierarchy. Their Pop/Rock hierarchy also seems random for many things there. After building this excessive list of genres over the last six months, which is based on 5-8 external catalogues (incl current wiki's categorizing), I recommend you to use as a basis Rate Your Music's hierarchy: rateyourmusic.com/genres. They back up every genre and its place in the hierarchy by external sources (including allmusic, when their placement makes a sense; but when it comes to newly arisen genres sources are often non-reliable enough for wiki's policy tho), and also it's the most objective one you can find in the internet - quite a large community every time discuss every move and edit regarding music genres and always comes to consensus on the placing genre in the hierarchy, i.e. doing wiki's job. Yes, on wikipedia RYM is considered non-reliable. But most edits on RYM are also based on external sources, discussed in excessive detail and simply logical. The sources they use can be found in the any genre's editing history. So I think it's just right to use their hierarchy (but also look up for additional sources to move it to Wikipedia). Solidest ( talk) 19:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Nope. I also found some mistakes on RYM. - GogoLion ( talk) 09:58, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply

I never said it's perfect. There are still a dozens of things that need to be fixed (out of 1800 genres). It's just the most competent one you can find in internet. While allmusic's one is completely incompetent in this regard. It have to be redone by 2/3 at least. Solidest ( talk) 13:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply

You say user-generated editing site like RYM is more trustable than a site that built by music experts like AllMusic? Do you know who are AllMusic contributors? - GogoLion ( talk) 13:25, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply

I'm talking specifically about the hierarchy of genres. And yes, in its current form, RYM is more trustable. And I have given the reasons why this is so. Solidest ( talk) 15:11, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Binksternet Sir, maybe you could explain to him about RateYourMusic credibility? GogoLion ( talk) 22:02, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Eh, too bad I have to explain a seemingly obvious point for the third time in a row. It's not about blindly trusting and transferring RYM to Wikipedia (sourcing RYM is unallowed on wiki), it's about Allmusic being a bad source regarding their genre hierarchy. I've told you that in my experience I've come across both large amount of duplicate entries ( https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/sync/4374) and hundreds of inaccuracies (like they put ambient pop as alt rock or indie rock subgenre), including the fact that their rank system is completely unworkable/inapplicable to wikipedia (new age tree). That's all I was saying. Regarding RYM - I just let you know that they also use and list external sources for each genre and I told you where to look for it if you need sourcing for wikipedia. But if you want to ignore that until you're confronted with it all yourself and realize that tree can't exist like this, then it's up to you. While I've already regretted starting a conversation here. Solidest ( talk) 01:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC) reply
