AfD nomination of List of some notable dancers[edit]

I have nominated List of some notable dancers, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of some notable dancers. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

That's what Category:Dancers is for, as suggested in the AfD nomination. To say that some are "the best" or better than others is just your point of view and that's not what Wikipedia is about. -- Roleplayer (talk) 21:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's why it's unmanageable - to have that amount of information in a single list about every dancer would be too much, but to start selecting based on ability, as you appear to be suggesting would be extremely subjective. The only way the article could be kept in all reality is if it's a list of names, with the information contained within the articles. -- Roleplayer (talk) 22:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

White Zombie[edit]

Hmmm, that is a good point. I hadn't noticed that. I do feel "heavy metal" isn't necessary, as I explained, but maybe if some more sources for "groove metal" could be found, what I looked at isn't comprehensive by any means. And I'm not trying to deny sources, it's just 6 genres does seem a bit much and the most commonly used terms should be represented fairly. If good sources for groove metal can't be found, then it would suggest the fault lies in the "groove metal" page. After all, it's an unsourced claim.

Korn[edit]

If you want to remove hard rock, go for it. Likewise, if you want to include alt. metal, all you need do is find some good sourcing. I use talk pages plenty, but only when there's more than can reasonably be said in an edit summary. Here it's just a simple matter of sourcing. Prophaniti (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evanescence[edit]

Hmm, well if it's something like that, with a talk page where the responses just seem to have dried up, you could try asking at request for comment, where you can specifically ask for people to contribute to a talk page. You could also ask at a related wikiproject, like wikiproject Evanescence, or wikiproject rock, or wikiproject metal. It's under the scope of all of those.

Thank you for wanting to help find a consensus with more editors on this article. I look forward to the RFC.--SKATER Speak. 21:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gorillaz[edit]

Alternative hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music. Britpop is a subgenre of Alternative rock. (Sugar Bear (talk) 20:29, 16 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Right about alternative hip hop. But britpop is used in many pages. and the style is quite different. e.g. Alternative metal is a subgenre of heavy metal, but we see alt metal in many pages. But about alternative hip hop you're right. Only some fans are very tough about gorillaz not being confused with hip hop bands. but the term alt hip hop is not usually used in wiki.

Consensus[edit]

You have been here long enough to be aware how consensus works. The inclusion of the term "hero shooter" has been challenged by multiple(!) people, including Masem and The1337gamer (which you probably were aware of bit turned a blind eye to when blaming me). So, per WP:BRD, you have to seek consensus, just giving the exact same arguments before goes nowhere. This is not a matter of NPOV, but of good community behaviour. I've given you a good way to communicate this with the generality for vodeo games (keep in mind that Overwatch and TF2 are not the only games that could or should carry this term somewhere), but instead of confronting more people, you blame me using the ever same argument ("there are sources, you are ignorant"). By the way, Forbes is not a reliable source. Out of good fath, just discuss it so we can reach a clear consensus for how to handle it on all hero shooters. Lordtobi () 05:47, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know how consensus works. But adding a genre that is mentioned by many promonant gaming sources including IGN and PC gamer is not a Bold edit. There should be a nonPOV reasoning behind the revert, usually when different sources claim contradictory things. For example on topics that are controversial and easily influenced by bias. But a term for video game genre is a fact based information. Either enough reliable sources have called these games hero shooters or not. I'm giving you several reliable sources that support this fact. Reverting the sourced edits without any reason backed by sources is not the way it works. You cannot revert information backed by sources just because "you're challenging" the edit, unless your challenging is backed by other sources.
However, I did not mean to imply that you are ignorant and I'm sorry if I unintentionally implied that.

Custom signature fix needed[edit]

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
  3. Update your signature to fix the error.
  4. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

  1. In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
