Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Ken Saro-Wiwa. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 23:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Amsaim, As none of the other artists under the "In popular culture and academia" heading are cited, and as I would have to link to a virus-laden lyrics site or the youtube itself, I am confused as to how I am supposed to cite song lyrics other than typing them out myself, as others in the section have done.

 * Before editing Wikipedia articles, it is a good idea for you to first get acquainted with Wikipedia's Policies & Rules. In the message above, there are several links to the corresponding required Wikipedia Policies. Clicking on these links and reading through the policies will answer your question. WP:OTHERSTUFF is also a good essay for you to read concerning the other artists which are not referenced. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 01:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Please advise me as to how to properly cite or reference song lyrics or a music video. Is a link to the artist's official youtube acceptable? It is not clear from the documentation you have provided. Thank you. Cajalswoon (talk) 15:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You've already been given all the required information via the blue links in my previous postings. It is up to you to read & understand. Amsaim (talk) 20:38, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I did read the blue links and just wanted to verify that a link to the youtube video was acceptable. As you are more experienced in wikipedia and I am not, a simple yes or no answer to my question would have been easier and more helpful. If you are not willing to answer my question directly, I am going to assume the youtube reference is acceptable and proceed. Cajalswoon (talk) 20:45, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We can't really assess an external link based on hypotheticals. You can review the guidelines for using YouTube videos here. Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 02:22, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
