[edit] What article?

This is what you posted on my talk page...

I'm sorry about the confusion, but I didn't add any new information on that page. I only corrected grammatical errors that I saw while I was reading the article. I'm not sure if it held me responsible for the entire page, but I didn't change anything that would make the information different.

What are you referring to? Also, please sign your posts with ~~~~. Bearly541 18:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Destiny's Child

Hi there. I'm Orane (aka Journalist), one of the Administrators of Wikipedia. I commend your effort at editing articles, but please desist from adding inflated sales figures to the "Destiny's Child" article. The group, by most reports, have not sold 100 million, and the source that you are so determined to cite (Kelly Rowland's website) does not support this figure. Thank you. Orane (talk • cont.) 05:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, the website that you gave me is sourced, so you can replace the text in the article if you want to. However, I still have strong doubts about the validity of this figure, for the following reasons:
  1. it wasn't written by Kelly Rowland (singers usually don't author their own websites).
  2. information such as these are hardly considered scholarly, which is what Wikipedia aims for (the way it is written, it's more for publicity/promotion, with a lot of exaggeration)
  3. They have not sold 100 million— that's common sense. Orane (talk • cont.) 01:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
