The info you added to Punk rock got deleted. I've saved it in Punk in Brazil. You should a dd some references or it won't last long. Wwwhatsup (talk) 06:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

You added it again and I've deleted it again from punk rock. You need to be aware of three things—and it would help if you'd actually read the rest of the section where you've been trying to make your addition:
  • The entire section focuses on the emergence of scenes in countries around the world in 1977 and 1978. Bands from the 1980s aren't discussed for any country. It's not appropriate to discuss those later Brazilian bands here. Use the new Punk in Brazil article Wwwhatsup created for that.
  • The section introduces the names of no more than three bands per country (France's Stinky Toys are discussed earlier in the article); in many cases, just two. You wanted to add fourteen for Brazil. You should be able to understand how inappropriate that is. We're just focusing in this section on the most important, earliest punk bands in each country.
  • Every single claim in the section is is followed by a citation, referencing one or more reliable sources. That's how we know we can trust the information there. You haven't provided a single source. You've listed some band names from the late 1970s. Take a look at the article List of Brazilian punk and hardcore groups. That mentions a mostly different set of Brazilian punk bands from the 1970s. Without proper references, how can we trust that we're actually naming the most important bands? Please read the Wikipedia policy on WP:Verifiability.
So--feel free to go to work on Punk in Brazil. As it's a new article, you'll have a free hand there. But punk rock is a Featured Article, and there's no way the information you keep adding is going to be allowed to stay. If you can trim down the list of most important 1970s Brazilian bands to two or three and identify sources that discuss their importance, we'll be happy to mention them in the article.
