| I did agree to a few changes you proposed, although I don't think they are necessary. Changing genres in existing articles is almost always a futile task, and I don't recommend spending much time on it, as this is something usually done by newcomers who jump to conclusions about what kind of changes are needed at Misplaced Pages. There is so much that needs to be corrected and added to this site. But newcomers want to put emphasis on opinion, and change things to the way they see them, which makes it impossible to "move toward the ideal" because everyone has different opinions. --] (]) 17:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC) | I did agree to a few changes you proposed, although I don't think they are necessary.

STOP REMOVING CHINESE HUMAN HEIGHT
Are you stupid? Do you know that study is too outdated?
Measuring human height within a population is very easy. Studies do not need to be "serious" in order to be correct.
Do you know that the data from the study is NOT surveyed by the authors of the study?
Please, think it over before you modify something.

Human height article
You're doing an awesome job and I really appreciate it. No, I dont want to help, because I monitored the article for a couple months already and ran out of patience with the vandalism. I really dont know what the best solution is but I appreciate you working in good faith to help. Soap /Contributions 02:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Also, you said some of the info on my site was wrong. If you dont mind, tell me please, which ones? Soap /Contributions 02:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm kinda busy so I havent copied over your height data to my site yet. But youre doing a great job. I really didnt think that article was salvageable and now it's a lot better than it was before. Soap /Contributions 00:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Misplaced Pages, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend that you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. Scarian 11:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Please refrain from changing music genres without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Continued genre changes to suit your own point of view may result in a block. Thank you. The Real Libs-speak politely 19:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Italodal, you need to WP:SOURCE your genre changes and you should also begin a WP:DISCUSSION on the article's talk page to gain a WP:CONSENSUS for the genre change. People often argue over them and they always lead to dispute because people change them to what they think is the best genre. If you require any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Genres again
Thanks for the note you posted on my talk page; I'm glad to see discussions before changes. I don't know if I pointed this to you before, but I have a write-up with opinions about genres on my user page, and a longer help article "in progress" on a sandbox page, which is not ready to turn into an article yet, but you can look at it here to see some opinions about this subject.
As you can see from the article, I'm usually against changing genres just for the sake of change, so if the current genres are not a problem, I usually object to a change.
There is a section in the article about inappropriate genres, which discuss the "pure" use of a genre vs. application of it by a rock band, for example. This applies to our discussion about the use of "avant garde" and "music concrete". The first term is not applicable to any Pink Floyd song, because they are not avant garde classical composers. "Music concrete" is a composition made entirely from tape collage, and is not applicable to a song that merely sounds strange. It is certainly not applicable to a normal sound recording like "Main Theme". "On the Run" is mainly a synthesizer / sequencer piece with other sounds dubbed in. It may sound like musique concrete, but it's not made in the same way. One could also say that the era of Music Concrete ended in the 1960s, so any more modern works should not use that genre name, unless they are being deliberately "retro", which Pink Floyd's songs are not.
I did agree to a few changes you proposed, although I don't think they are necessary. Changing genres in existing articles is almost always a futile task, and I don't recommend spending much time on it, as this is something usually done by newcomers who jump to conclusions about what kind of changes are needed at Misplaced Pages.
