Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to R U Still Down? (Remember Me), 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. Binksternet (talk) 03:40, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at 2Pacalypse Now. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2Pacalypse Now, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. The material you added to this article was not supported by the sources you provided. In addition, another editor flagged your edit as having used unreliable sources; please do not edit war to get your preferred genres into the article. Thank you.

Hello, to be more specific: If you add to an article that a song or an album is, say, "East coast hip hop," you need to find a source that specifically calls the song or album "east coast hip hop." It cannot be merely implied, the source must state it expressly. The sources you have provided at 2Pacalypse Now do not do that, which is why I reverted your edit earlier. In order to include the genres "political rap" or "conscious rap" in the article, you need to find sources that outright say the album is "political rap" or "conscious rap."

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Loyal to the Game. Okay, I get it. Tupac didn't like the gangsta rap label pasted on his work. But Wikipedia is based on WP:SECONDARY sources commenting on the music, and the artist's own preferences are not given much weight. So stop removing "gangsta" when it's sourced, and definitely stop adding your own unreferenced ideas of what the genre might be. Binksternet (talk) 00:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
