So you quite commonly see people attributing a musical

of the matter.
Edit warring happens. And that is bad. So now I've noticed that people
are putting in citations pointing to the All Music Guide and suchlike,
which one hopes will help.
That indeed is the problem with giving people a form to fill in, which
is what boxed-info often is, rather than making them responsible for
writing prose with justifications. It gets even worse under the heading
of "influenced by", one of the hardest matters to prove responsibly.
