"Beat it" is rock, not R&B

Hi, Krobertj.

Pyrrhus16 doesn't know about genres, he doesn't know the American Culture. If he doesn't know about genres, he must not edit in wikipedia. He must learn to read and understand his sources.

HIS SOURCE Stylus said: "There’s a nervy, frenetic, epic opener (“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”), some jazzy R&B numbers (“Baby Be Mine,” “P.Y.T.”), a conceptual, campy, dancefloor banger (title track), rock-dance (“Beat It”), stories (“Billie Jean”), a duet with the former King of Pop (“The Girl Is Mine” with the irrepressibly silly Paul McCartney), and the smoothest of ballads (“Human Nature”)."

STYLUS SAID:"rock-dance (“Beat It”)", IT MEANS "BEAT IT" IS ROCK.

THE PART:" Eddie Van Halen performs a metal guitar solo—on an R&B record!" , R&B record is refered to Thriller album.

RECORD = ALBUM ------------> R&B record ------> "Thriller" album

SINGLE = SONG ------------> Rock song -------> "Beat It" song

You can read it in:http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/diamond/michael-jackson-thriller.htm

Pyrrhus16 UNDERSTAND WRONG HIS OWN SOURCE. ALSO ALL THRILLER REVIEWS SAYS "BEAT IT" IS ROCK MUSIC. Rolling Stone said "BEAT IT" IS ROCK MUSIC. Stephen Thomas Eewerline of All Music Guide says "Beat It" is hard rock.

About "Beat It", Michael Jackson is quoted in Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 songs issue as saying of this, "I wanted to write the type of rock song that I would go out and buy. But also something totally different from the rock music I was hearing on Top 40 radio." YOU CAN READ IT IN: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=459

IF MICHAEL SAID THAT "BEAT IT" IS ROCK MUSIC, IT IS ALL. BILLIE JEAN IS R&B. "BEAT IT" IS ROCK OR HARD ROCK, NOT R&B. YOU SHOULD edit "Beat it" page, removing R&B, BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE. WIKIPEDIA MUST HAVE CREDIBILITY. YOU CAN HELP. Thanks --201.230.64.66 (talk) 01:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

"Record" can very well mean the track, not just the album. "Record" has an interchangeable meaning. — R² 06:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Genre "wars"

Thanks for the post on my talk page. But I don't think anything can be decided by two people talking privately on user pages. I've been on Wikipedia for over a year, and seen a lot of discussion on the subject. Regarding the points you raise, a lot of people are opposed to using Allmusic (or anyone else) as an authority as policy. Since we are a non-commerical and independent site, it isn't very progressive for us to defer to someone else to decide genres for us. Also, some have made a good case for stating that Allmusic is often wrong. The "styles" issue has also been discussed in the past, and there was pretty much consensus against using it, as most people would regard it as two levels of genre, and would not use a style field any more accurately than they currently use genre. The biggest problem is that genre fiddlers usually haven't been following the discussions, and are not aware of any rules we may have in place, and may not care either. My feeling is that the best way to deal with the problem, is not to regard it as a "war", because these editors are just making changes randomly or on the fly, and that's the real problem. There isn't enough planning or thinking going on to call it a war. We can try to educate newcomers, but that's about it. I have found that reverting and explaining why I'm reverting, does the trick 98% of the time, whether it's about genres or anything else. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

(In response to my talk page): They handle it in various ways. One thing I know that they do is they (for instance) put Neil Gaiman books in the Young Adult section, as well as the Graphic Novel section. This bothers people who don't want to be known to read YA books - so there is some parallel here with how people feel about genre. Luminifer (talk) 15:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

ELO & Beatles Songs

Thanks for fixing the Electric Light Orchestra article. I didn't notice that the Beatles songs were mentioned at the end of the sentence. My mistake. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Group or band – which one?

We are holding a straw poll (in a very friendly way, of course) to decide if The Beatles should be called a group, or a band. You can add your user signature to one or the other by clicking this link, Group or band – which one?. Thanks.--andreasegde (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Astra band.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Astra band.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 04:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Im not 100% sure, but i think {{non-free promotional}} would be your best bet to add to the image. You would then also have to add a fair use. This image could also come under deletion, as it could be viewed that a free option is available, however im not concerned about that. Hope that helps, Salavat (talk) 14:39, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Keep it up!

Thanks for the help you gave me, Krobertj! Are there any articles you played a significant role in and think should be up for "Good Article Nomination" (like I'm Your Captain ? ) V Schauf (talk) 11:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Pink Floyd album genres

I don't have Pink Floyd album articles on my watchlist anymore, but I'm not surprised the genres have changed. It's nearly impossible to make previous decisions current when talk page discussions are archived, and old decisions are hard to find. It may be better to argue "common sense" rather than old decisions when reverting. But the old discussions are still in the archives, and we can refer to them. Hope that's helpful? --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 02:05, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Let me know if you run into problems in trying to re-establish standards. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 02:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
