We Need to Talk

Yesterday, I made some edits to the Funk template, but you reverted them all. One genre that you removed was Punk funk. All that tells me is that you never read the page for the genre; otherwise, you would know that punk funk is a fusion genre of punk rock and funk. 2600:6C5A:417F:528F:692B:4946:7A90:A055 (talk) 16:15, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, yeah, you can leave it there for now, considering we already have funk rock and funk metal there as well (both of which, in my opinion, emulate funky bassline but are not funk as such, and the same with punk funk). But that would require revising the articles themselves to reflect that. Other excluded genres are definitely not funk, don't always have a funky bassline, and are not called funk anywhere by any reliable sources. Solidest (talk) 16:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Rap Rock problems

This year, a sockpuppet removed some genres from the Rap rock template. I've tried, many times, to add them back, but for some reason, a user called Binksternet believes the sockpuppet and keeps removing the genres. They've clearly never read the pages for the genres; otherwise, they'd know that those genres are fusion genres of rap and the various genres of rock. 2600:6C5A:417F:528F:59F7:72BA:1F04:EC0B (talk) 15:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Not very much. This IP person from Atlanta has consistently refused to cite sources while changing genres in music articles. They also change music genre navigation templates in ways that are not supported by the literature. I have asked them many times to read a book or two about the genres that they are interested in, but this has not happened. The person was blocked in 2021 as Special:Contributions/2601:C7:C201:C640:0:0:0:0/64. Blocked again in 2022 as Special:Contributions/47.36.25.163. In 2023, they were blocked as Special:Contributions/2600:6C5A:417F:794E:0:0:0:0/64. Earlier this year, Special:Contributions/2600:6C5A:417F:528F:0:0:0:0/64 was blocked twice. They were probably coming here because of this revert you performed. Binksternet (talk) 16:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
