Sourcing and other helpful links
Hello, Desrael. I saw you on the Keith Sweat article, and reverted one of your recent edits there due to it being unsourced. The previous information is unsourced as well, but I do not know which to trust. To help your editing here at Wikipedia, I give you this list:


 * 1) What Wikipedia is not, which summarizes what belongs in Wikipedia and what does not;
 * 2) Neutral point of view, which describes Wikipedia's mandatory core approach to neutral, unbiased article-writing;
 * 3) No original research, which prohibits the use of Wikipedia to publish personal views and original research of editors and defines Wikipedia's role as an encyclopedia of existing recognized knowledge;
 * 4) Verifiability, which explains that it must be possible for readers to verify all content against credible external sources (following the guidance in the Risk disclaimer that is linked-to at the bottom of every article);
 * 5) Reliable sources, which explains what factors determine whether a source is acceptable;
 * 6) Citing sources, which describes the manner of citing sources so that readers can verify content for themselves; and
 * 7) Manual of Style, which offers a style guide—in general editors tend to acquire knowledge of appropriate writing styles and detailed formatting over time.

These are often abbreviated to WP:NOT, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE, and WP:MOS respectively. Also, you need to always sign your comments when "talking" on Wikipedia talk pages. To sign your comments, all you have to do is type four tildes beside them.

Take care. Flyer22 (talk) 00:34, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Keith Sweat/Crier
Hi. Do you have a reliable source for your claim about Keith Sweat's last name? Because I found two reliable sources (here and here) that claim his birth name is "Crier" and "Sweat" is his mother's maiden name that he adopted as a stage name. I'm changing it back to "Crier" but we can figure it out if you have a source saying his birth last name is indeed Sweat. Thanks. RunnyAmiga (talk) 23:57, 31 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello


 * Yes I do I will provide you information shortly for last name. Second unfortunately his mom passed away last year.

 * I saw that on Keith's article and I chose to remove it simply because we try to keep the focus on the article's subject. I hope I don't sound cold but this information doesn't add a lot to a reader's understanding of Keith himself. RunnyAmiga (talk) 02:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
