Hello, I'm Karst. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Black Mountain (band) have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Melvins, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been or will be reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  Rob van  vee  15:23, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Welcome! But, please note ...
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

Gloriaindieberlin: The articles you are adding references to are potentially useful, but you can't just copy a sentence and drop it into the article's lead paragraph. It usually doesn't fit, and more importantly, it violates copyright. Summarise what the source says, in your own words, or put a very brief quotation in quotation marks. Copyright is a serious matter, because Wikipedia is publication. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:49, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
