Your edits to Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I noticed you made some major changes to USS's article. I appreciate your enthusiasm and the time you took to make those edits, but prior to making major changes such as this in Wikipedia, it is important that you understand the basics of Wikipedia editing, particularly about how to properly cite sources and making sure that said sources come from a reliable source. You must also consider that you made changes to some of the text which was supported by the references already provided fin the article. Some of the edits you made also caused text formatting issues. One should also avoid peacock terms such as "and lyrics that delve deeper than the pressure within a volcano."

For the time being I have reverted your edits, but not to worry, I have saved a mirror of all the changes you made here. I have no doubt that some of the information in this article needs to be updated and I would like to work with you in properly referencing the changes you would like to make. If you would like help feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Your latest edits to Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker
Hello,. I really would like to work with you in improving this article. No doubt it needs some more up to date information, and I can appreciate the grammatical changes you've made to some of the sentences, but as I stated in my last message to you, it is important to properly cite sources and to make sure that said sources come from a reliable source as per Wikipedia's guidelines. You must also consider that yet again you made changes to some of the text which was supported by the references already provided in the article.

I have decided to make the following changes to a few of your edits:


 * The sentence you added which stated: "The synergy stems from vocalist, guitarist and erhu player Ash Buchholz (aka Ashley Boo-Schultz) alongside turntablist, rapper, hypeman Jason Parsons (aka Human Kebab)." Says who?  Did you find a quote by either band member stating this?  Or could this perhaps be your own stylistic interpretation? I've reverted that sentence back to the way it was.  This borders on being a peacock statement and could also constitute original research which also goes against Wikipedia guidelines.
 * You also changed the sentence "It's like you're at Nirvana Unplugged but there's a drum and bass party and glow sticks all around you," to ""It's like you're at Nirvana Unplugged but there's a drum and bass party with glow sticks all around you." You may find that "with" sounds better than "and", but as per the cited reference to this statement, this was a direct quote from Buchholz and therefore it should not have been changed.  I have changed this back as well.
 * You also changed the sentence: "who later moved into Parsons' parents' basement and began to experiment musically with Parsons," to "who later moved into Parsons' parents' basement to experiment musically with Parsons." but no where during the referenced interview was it stated that Buchholz specifically moved into Parsons' basement in order to work with him musically. I have reverted this edit as well.
 * You also added: "James Black of Finger Eleven is featured playing guitar on "P.S. I Can Change". Since you did not provide a reference for this statement I have flagged it w/ the tag.  If you could find a reference from a reliable source for this information it would be greatly appreciated if you would add it.
 * You also added: "A series of Edge events were the catalyst to bringing USS hype to the forefront of music." Firstly, to anyone who does not live in the GTA, "a series of Edge events" might not make any sense.  What are "Edge events"?  Secondly, this again borders on being a peacock statement as well as being original research. For example: Whose opinion is it that USS is at "the forefront of music" in any event?  And who is to say that it was their Edge concerts which brought them to this "forefront" versus their actual airplay on the Edge, which no doubt gives them exposure to millions of listeners around the world, versus the thousands that would have seen them in concert in the GTA at the time.  Lastly, the current reference for that paragraph only mentions the Next Big Thing concert, not other Edge concerts.  Again, I have reverted this edit.

So as before, I would like to offer you some assistance in adding to this article. Please, leave me a message on my talk page if you would like assistance.
