 ::I broadly agree, although when you say Allmusic is widely considered to be a perfectly reliable and notable critical commentary resource on Wikipedia. And that's that. I would counter that any wikipedia policy and practice will have been arrived at by a process of consensus and reaching a group opinion on the basis of considering various facts and ideas, not just ""And that's that""! ) So I should go and do some reading on the various policy pages and find out how the current position was arrived at. (As it seems a bit dubious to me). For example, are Allmusic ""staff"" on salaries? If not, then why are they ""writers"", rather than ""bloggers"".  "
