I made the edit at Music you requested, thanks for the fix. Just so you know, there is a template, (Template:Editsemiprotected), for doing this. It automatically adds the article to a category (Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests). People watch this category, so it's usually the quickest way to get someone to notice your edit request. All you have to do is add at the top of your request. Cheers.

CeCe Peniston
Hi, I have highlighted sources regarding Peniston's 'Personal Life'. As for her being a baptist and classifiyng her political views supporting democrats, I can provide a screenshot from her Facebook profile with bio information if neessary. She is among my friends on FB. Benuliak 19:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I appreciate your effort and response. Great work so far! Unfortunately, Facebook is not considered a reliable source. Wikipedia requires vetted sources for verification. Self-published sources are generally not trusted. I also asked for sources for some other items where the source you provided does not mention the information you attribute to it. Thanks!

 * Hey! It took me a while to reply, but here I go again. I checked the highlighted parts, and see my answers below, plz:

1> However sometimes the reference links to books don't work properly, you may want to give it a shout again, cause I checked the link and it worked in fact. So regarding Peniston being Miss Black Arizona in 1989, see: http://books.google.cz/books?id=kOG9Dct-pQoC&pg=PA208&dq=%22cece+peniston%22&hl=cs&ei=LjdyTPrIGMiUswaJ46S5Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=%22cece%20peniston%22&f=true Anyway, there are lots of other sources quoting this fact, so I can use an alternate no doubt.

2> As for her being Miss Galaxy, I just forgot to attach the reference link, that I used later several times within the Peniston's sub-articles, so maybe that's why. My fault, so here is the link to Chicago Magazine, in which she actually confirms also winning Miss Black Arizona 89: http://www.5chicago.com/features/june2006/cecepeniston.html

3> And as concern that Whitney Houston as "being incorrectly denoted to be the first in South Africa", this is the only (written) source I found so far: http://www.gotofirstclass.com/cece_peniston.htm (in which Peniston is mentioned "only" as: to be historically the first female entertainer to visit and perform after the abolition of apartheid, before fellow recording artist Whitney Houston

BUT (!)

Peniston was a guest at LA Talk Radio - On Air with Tony Sweet last year, September 4, when she herself spoke about the issue regarding Houston, but there is "only" a direct audio-file: http://www.latalkradio.com/Players/Tony-090409.shtmlso if this helps, go ahead please, and listen to the discussed part of her interview which starts at 1:09:30. Do you think that I could just simply use this as a reference link as for this?

Thank you for any advice which I do appreciate myself. As well as thanks heaps for keeping an eye on me. I'm trying to do my best, however I am not a native english speaker, so it takes me sometimes longer to get things done the way I would love. Later on I would also need someone willing to go through the Peniston article(s) and check my (in)definite articles, with which I am struggling from time to time. Hope you are having a good day (m)anyway. Be well ,-) Benuliak 13:34, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
