Futsal Shuffle 2020

Hi Life of Tau, could you fix the genres in the infobox please? The genres and sources given to support them and the text I think might be being used to support their inclusion:

Trap[1]: Doesn't seem to mention "trap" at all (calls it a "dance track" instead).

Dance[2]: "It’s something that will make you break out into serious footwork on the dance floor."
"Uzi even made a point of sharing a series of instructional dance videos before the record’s arrival."
"“Futsal Shuffle 2020” isn’t your typical hip-hop dance record"

Trance[3]: "Trance-inflected earworm"

Snap[4]: "The Futsal Shuffle is for everyone. Did you save a pair of neon yellow skinny jeans just in case Jerkin’ ain’t dead? The Futsal Shuffle is for you. Have you been waiting impatiently in your white tall tee for the revival of snap music? The Futsal Shuffle is for you. Do you listen to trance music in a Blade-style trench coat? The Futsal Shuffle is for you."

@10Trix.Never: I have addressed each source below.

 • Rap-Up: Identifies the song as dance music. Present in the very first version of the article as a source for dance, only later affixed to a different, unsupported genre.

Result: relocated at the correct genre, replacement source cited for trap

 • Complex: Describes the song as both hip hop and dance music.

Result: retained as a source for dance music

 • Fact Magazine: Describes the song as "trance-inflected", but does not explicitly classify it as trance.

Result: citation and genre removed

 • Pitchfork: I draw a distinction between the last two pairs of sentences in the first paragraph. Logically, a writer could only reasonably declare that a song will satisfy people awaiting "the revival of snap music" if it were itself an example of that genre. Conversely, a song could conceivably appeal to someone who regularly listens to trance music, without technically qualifying as trance, if its production featured influences or elements of the style. References to jerkin', rave music, and rap elsewhere in the article are not, as written, unequivocal identifiers of genre.

Result: retained as a source for snap

Thank you for your message. LifeofTau 16:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining and fixing it, I thought that about the sentences in the Pitchfork article but wasn't sure. -- 10Trix.Never (talk) 18:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ultravox

Hi, the infobox of the article lists "New Romantic" as a genre, but I only see that here, the recurring genre on WP for acts labeled that term is "new wave". Should it be removed? -- 10Trix.Never (talk) 22:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@10Trix.Never: New Romantic was an aesthetic and cultural movement associated with several music genres, but it is not itself a distinct style of music. Including it in a genre list strikes me as no different than claiming Teddy Boy or British Invasion as genres. However, there appears to be a contingent of editors who feel differently, so I would advise against removal without prior talk page discussion. LifeofTau 18:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thank you. -- 10Trix.Never (talk) 20:35, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updating view counts

Please update the date of the viewcount when you do this. I am specifically referring to this edit. If you don't do it right, you are just creating a mess for other editors to clean up later. SVTCobra 19:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New to You

Hi, could you look at the composition section please? I couldn't find a mention of post-disco in the EDM.com source, but The Guardian review of the album calls the song "a slinky blur of disco and boogie, the romantic crush of strings after the chorus providing a frisson of delight." --10Trix.Never (talk) 04:40, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"11:00" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect 11:00 and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 5#11:00 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Protest End Dates

Protests suc as Nahel Merzouk protests are not wars like the Thirty Years' War that they have a formal treaty or declaration to have end dates, protests are over the day news reporters say that they have calmed and there are no more Wikipedia:Reliable sources stating that they are ongoing as with the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Protests unlike wars do not have formal declaration and ends after active protests are no longer ongoing and no more sources reports ongoing protests linked to the even. Thus I request you to remove the citation needed tag. Good day. Dilbaggg (talk) 04:37, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dilbaggg: If there was no specific end date and reliable sources do not identify one, then the infobox should not list a specific date. To do otherwise would violate WP:NOR. Alternative constructions, such as early July and c. 10 July, may be appropriate depending on how reliable sources describe the conclusion of the civil unrest.
