Lede edit

The current lede inserted by 94.64.43.224 (well-known user who makes unconstructive disruptive edits to Greek music related articles; see Talk:Music of Greece) is uninformative: it makes no sense from a grammatical point of view (terms and phrases like "peak of harmonious unity" and "origins are located" "Greek component elements" are non-extant) and it is factually disputed: the dates "third century A.D.", "as early as the first century A.D." need to be verified by published sources. --Omnipaedista (talk) 09:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

It is a well-known user who makes unconstructive disruptive edits to Greek music in your opinion.I didnt see any other user being against it,but you.Please dont edit war with all of Us. --Aperitis25 (talk) 11:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Please don't try to manufacture consensus. We are talking about identical IP's reinserting the same non-neutral, grammatically incoherent material over and over again. You are the only user with an account supporting these edits. --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:59, 2 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Not taking a part in convertation doesnt mean that the opinions on articles does not supported,If something happened like this they would had been reverted since the day was citied, please once again stop to manufacture consensus with your edits and stop editing war. --Aperitis25 (talk) 12:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
You seem to erroneously apply the 'It's not me, it's you' argument. Also you use the word 'consensus' as a red herring to distract the discussion once again. The real issue is that 94.64.43.224's edits are unverifiable and nonsensical.
Regarding consensus and silence in Wikipedia, there are many views either supporting or denying that silenece equals consensus; check out the essays Wikipedia:Don't revert due to "no consensus", Wikipedia:Silence means nothing, and Wikipedia:Silence and consensus. Please don't erroneously invoke this argument as an explanation for reverting other users' edits.--Omnipaedista (talk) 12:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Rename to Greek traditional music edit

This is an article about Greek traditional music. The difference in meaning between "folk" and "traditional" is not trivial as they describe the extinct vs. extant versions -- respectively -- of the same kind of music. --kupirijo (talk) 10:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • @Kupirijo, from what sources do you draw your conclusions? Folk music does not cease to be folk music, whether it exists or is extinct. The same can be said about traditional music. The only rule that should be applied in this case is consistency in naming articles. And at the moment, 95% of the articles have the title "... folk music". Traditional music articles refers mainly to those cultures where folk music is intertwined with classical/art music. There are only a few such articles, and they are all of Asian cultures.
