-== [[Hip hop]] genre in infobox ==
-I happen to be a rock music fan who doesn't like most hip hop, so it would be funny if this hard revert of sourced content [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rage_Against_the_Machine&action=history] of my addition of [[hip hop]] to the infobox is a result of perceived rivalry between the two genres. The user's edit summary says "Hip hop is already mentioned in the musical style section and we have enough genres listed already." That it is mentioned in the article is a rationale to include it in the infobox, per [[WP:LEDE]] the intro summarizes the article. That ''"we have enough genres already"'' is an entirely personal opinion that sounds like [[WP:OWN]]; moreover there is empty space on the line for another term. Also, there is no rationale here why we should include say "alternative metal" at the expense of hip hop. Comments please. -[[User:Chumchum7|Chumchum7]] ([[User talk:Chumchum7|talk]]) 08:37, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
-: {{Reply|Chumchum7}} We already have five genres in the infobox, we don't need any more. Rap rock and Rap metal already cover the fact that the band has hip hop elements in their music. We don't need to include hip hop. [[User:Bowling is life|Bowling is life]] ([[User talk:Bowling is life|talk]]) 12:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
-::You have already said we don't need to include hip hop in the edit summary of your revert. That's your opinion, which you are entitled to, and I happen to disagree. I would point to the notability of hip hop in describing this band's fusion of genres, demonstrated by the citation, which you removed. And there's plenty more sourced content where that came from [https://djbooth.net/features/2016-05-20-rage-against-the-machine-hip-hop-greatest-rock-band] Per standard process, we need to open out our disagreement to other editors. -[[User:Chumchum7|Chumchum7]] ([[User talk:Chumchum7|talk]]) 15:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
