Ballad? Mid Tempo? 5 minutes, 33 seconds of silence? - Richfife (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One of the actual things said in WP:BIAS is "Common sources of bias include political, financial, religious, philosophical, or other beliefs. While a source may be biased, it may be reliable in the specific context. When dealing with a potentially biased source, editors should consider whether the source meets the normal requirements for reliable sources, such as editorial control and a reputation for fact-checking." We shouldn't just shout out wikilinks to essays and policy without reading them. Weegeerunner (talk) 21:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And one of the things said in

Two problems

1. WP:RS
   is just a guideline. Verifiability is the threshold. While I disagree with the source, not alternate source has been provided. V trumps anything you've supplied.
2. Bigger problem, you've reverted it to your preferred version six times in under 24 hours. The bright-line rule is three times. You may not have known that, so I warned you on your talk page after the fifth, but you made the sixth anyhow. Do not edit war. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:34, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rolling Stone is certainly a reliable source and they refer to it as pop [1].

They actually call it "a loping pop song laced with distinctly punk-ish power chords". Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:39, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since we can't agree on the genre should be displayed I decided to move it here until we reached a consensus. Like I said before, it's a pretty weak source. It doesn't elaborate and it isn't prominent. Heck you have even said it yourself. Anyways, back on the discussion, did you know that recently "pop rock" songs don't get played on "rock" radios? I dare you to my find me a "pop rock" song nowadays that was/is being played on the rock radios and charting on the "Hot Rock Songs." I'm not sure why are you trying to keep supporting a weak source when we both know that is weak. In the end reasons like this song being played on the rock radios and charting on the rock charts is something that "pop rock" songs don't do. Have a nice day and your suggestions are welcomed.

It's not that we can't agree, it's that you don't agree with the reference and two editors who have commented here and one more who reverted an early edit. I don't disagree that it's a weak source: on that you and I agree. However, it's better than no source at all.

As for pop rock songs not played on rock radio, that too is unsourced. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:27, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
