No idea if I am doing anything correctly and I am a computer guy. LOL Probably not staying on hear to help edit articles. I had no idea how complex and detailed the editing and wars I see going on with approx. 60 pages I looked at. It is no wonder I see notable people and notable articles removed by many different editors. It is like becoming a lawyer with a whole new language just for this site. I see so much information from notable people that I already know personally and then read the history of verified articles removed over and over again. Some of my notable friends hire companies to submit articles that still have difficulties. I am guessing I will stick to editing notable web sites. Notable seems to be a tough subject. Some people are known in 60 or more countries around the world but still not notable for Wikipedia. Just has me scratching my head.

Thank you for the welcome but I am too nervous to attempt any further edits.

 * YOu figured out reply to, so you can't be doing too badly. WP:COVERSONG is the standard for adding a new cover version. Also, we don't link inline, but your first efforts were otherwise fine. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
