- Adjust for more clarity (reducing jargon, simpler language) - Use "producer"/"non-producer" instead of "[roles regarding] musical elements"/"[roles regarding] auxilary non-musical elements" - Use "bad faith" for trolling list - Shorten headings for faster reference - Link AI-generated song subpage on main page - Link AI-generated song subpage on "No AI-generated songs" rule - Remove "(main)" from title as it is already implied (the other counts as a subpage) - Use "AI-generated songs" on subpage as written on the "No AI-generated songs" rule - Refer song deletion criteria instead of mentioning song ratings (already covered on criteria) - Shorten URL reference

Bad faith and trolling are both relatively open-ended terms, but they basically mean the same thing in this sort of context. (As a sidenote, I'm actually more comfortable with declaring something to be "trolling" than I am with determining "bad faith", as the latter requires knowing intent. Still, it should be okay.) Anyways, I think this is fine to go forward with. There's some grammatical and syntax awkwardness in some areas, but I can fix that up after it goes through. Removing the overly-verbose parts makes sense for clarity, though I do think you removed a few more important words (I'll want to think about how each section header should look). |

The leading paragraphs for both pages for forbidden artists are quite heavy for me (as a non-native speaker) to understand. For example, I noticed some jargons that could be replaced with more known terms (e.g. "attached to a song in a musical manner" to "with producer roles"). As usual, I try to improve the language, but unlike before, getting the point across simply took me a while. I've experienced it before on GitHub, and that involved a US writer.
I also took time to adjust the headings into something shorter. I try to maintain the wording, especially when there are already abbreviations invented on the private channels (e.g. FATL for trolling). The only thing is that is quite significant is that I try to use "bad faith" instead of "trolling", though I'm still confused on what does "trolling" exactly mean ("bad faith editing" is quite general, but "disruptive editing" could be what it meant, see Wikipedia:Acting in bad faith, Wikipedia:Disruptive editing, Wikipedia:Gaming the system).
I also do some edits for consistency between the list and the "No AI-generated songs" rule, along with some syntax improvements.
