[edit]

Information icon Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Heard It in a Past Life, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or 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. isento (talk) 11:37, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, you may be blocked from editing. You have continued to add and change genres without providing sources after our last conversation. Can you please stop making these genre changes or explain why you think these changes are consistent with Wikipedia editing guidelines? If you persist in making these types of edits you may lose your editing privileges. CodeTalker (talk) 15:44, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your genre changes

[edit]

Thank you for replying on my talk page about your edits to Pumpkinhead II. I appreciate the communication very much. My more general concern is that over the last few weeks, you have made a large number of edits which changed or added genres and categories to articles about movies. Where are you getting this information from? On one hand, if you have read a book or newspaper article which describes the movie using those terms, you should include a reference to that source in the Wikipedia article when you make that change. On the other hand, if you are making these changes based merely on your personal opinion of the movie's genre, that is an entirely inappropriate change to make here. Changes to Wikipedia articles, including genre changes, must be based on what reliable sources say. Making changes based on personal opinions is considered original research and is not allowed here. Please read those two articles describing Wikipedia guidelines. I suggest you also look at the essay called Genre warrior and you will see that Wikipedia has had problems in the past with people whose main purpose here is to change genres (often related to music but also movies). Other editors looking at your history of changes could easily perceive you to be this type of editor. If you wish to contribute productively to Wikipedia, I would suggest that for now you start directing your efforts to things other than changing genres. Thank you, and I hope you will continue to contribute here in productive ways. CodeTalker (talk) 21:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
