== Rename to "…Like Clockwork" ==

This article currently begins with ". . ." (that is, three periods), when it should begin with "…", a horizontal ellipse (&hellip HTML entity). Perhaps this should be renamed for accuracy? [[User_talk:Nich148_9|Nick Heer]] 20:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

: Agreed and done. [[User:JamesLucas|jameslucas]] <small>([[User talk:JamesLucas|" "]] / [[Special:Contributions/JamesLucas|+]])</small> 12:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

::Not sure that I agree with this. Wikipedia's manual of style specifically discourages the use of precomposed ellipsis characters, such as the ones in this article (see [[MOS:ELLIPSIS]]) – three periods would be better.

:::That's a good point but then, perhaps a note should be included in the article mentioning the difference? [[User:Chaosu¹|Chaosu¹]] ([[User talk:Chaosu¹|talk]]) 13:07, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

::::Is there a difference? What would such a note say? [[User:A Thousand Doors|A Thousand Doors]] ([[User talk:A Thousand Doors|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/A Thousand Doors|contribs]]) 14:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I have changed this 3 times now, added a reference to prove the information was correct, yet it has always been reverted. Why? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/87.194.177.76|87.194.177.76]] ([[User talk:87.194.177.76|talk]]) 10:55, 24 May 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

He clearly sings on Smooth Sailing as well. Someone needs to change this. I would do it myself but last time I did it was reverted. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.155.203.8|109.155.203.8]] ([[User talk:109.155.203.8|talk]]) 18:07, 14 June 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:On the official Queens of the Stone Age website he is only credited on "Keep Your Eyes Peeled": [http://www.qotsa.com/extendedcredits/ Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork]. I don't have this CD, but I quess the album booklet says the same thing. — [[User:Mayast|Mayast]] ([[User talk:Mayast|talk]]) 07:51, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

== Stoner Rock ==

Queens of the Stone Age have always been and will continue to be stoner rock. It is very clear that this album is a stoner rock album and the genre is very well shown during the album. So why whenever I add the genre "stoner rock" it is reverted? I have listened to Queens for ages, and I definitely know this.

:In the past, people have edit warred over the genre, so any unexplained changes are automatically reverted when they are noticed, even by those who agree. It's taken as opinion, rather than fact. You may want to post at the Queens of the Stone Age WikiProject to gain support for this edit. (See their banner at the top of this page.) There will likely be opposition. Some may think alternative rock is a better general description, and only want to list one genre. I know there was some discussion about stoner rock in the past, (check the article history,) and arguments that this album had none. What will help the most is to find [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that explicitly name the genre, but short of that, consensus could possibly be found, if there is enough involvement. <tt>[[User:PC-XT|—PC]][[User talk:PC-XT|-XT]][[Special:Contributions/PC-XT|+]]</tt> 17:38, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
