Young B

This article has been nominated for deletion (or has already been deleted). Don't be discouraged! Many of us have had articles deleted, especially early in our wikicareers. Deletion is not a reflection on your editing but simply the application of our standard rules, particularly WP:NOTABILITY (and WP:BIO for persons, WP:WEB for websites, WP:CORP for companies, WP:MUSIC for bands, and so forth.) Looking forward to your future contributions, Herostratus 06:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited Ludacris (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

In this case, you clearly were reverting vandalism (rather than creating it) for which I thank you. However, until I checked the diff, I still had no clue what you did. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

WP:FU violation

Your addition of a copyrighted image to Eve (rapper) was in violation of WP:FU and has been reverted. --Yamla 21:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Sources

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Danger Mouse is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. If you have any questions about how to cite your sources, let me know. --Fritz S.

Freestyle Friday

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed maintenance notices from Freestyle Friday, even though required changes haven't been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Thank you. --Geniac 04:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance notices from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Freestyle Friday. It may be considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Geniac 15:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Jin (rapper)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Jin (rapper), even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Cloudz679 23:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Papoose (rapper)

• If you want this "Papoose was born in Africa" thing to fly, you're gonna need a verifiable source, because the one we've got, his official website, disagrees. Please don't change it again without such a source. tomasz. 23:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Malcolm X

Hi. I reverted your recent edit to Malcolm X. Malcolm X didn't die in Harlem. He was shot in the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights, and he died across the street at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 04:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

June 2007

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to DJ Premier. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Thank you. Kariteh 07:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
