Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Midwest hip hop has been reverted. Your edit here to Midwest hip hop was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axF1HWTjAww&feature=related) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Midwest hip hop. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ''You are going to have to write in a neutral manner.

St. Louis (Midwest Hip Hop) Edit
I was not writing a "promo piece". That was a very rude comment for you write. I was simply trying to give the best information possible. Also there are not articles for the various DJ's and producers I listed. Further, the album covers were found in Wikipedia's media center. If they aren't to be used then why are they in the Media center for usage? Also, if you look at the Michigan piece they also have a description LISTING its Underground rappers. Why the double standard? While I definitely understood the "directory" edit, seems to me that your editing is a bit arbitrary and rude. Why can Michigan have its Underground artist listed and not St. Louis. Further, when you edit, it is very sloppy. You do not add bullets where they should be added etc. I under the need for administration and editing, but you don't have to be rude when you do it. Don't accuse me of "promoting" because I'm not. I don't even live in St. Louis. HoustonSTL (talk) 04:58, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't be so quick to take offense, please. The use of album covers usually is limited to fair use, which allows them to be used in articles on the albums, not anywhere else. But the real problem is the non-neutral language and the amount of unverified information. I don't know if some other place has "underground" artists--if they don't have Wikipedia articles, they shouldn't be included. There's no double standard: one simply can't do everything at the same time. As for sloppy editing, well, what can I say--I am relatively new here. If you wish to improve the article we welcome your contributions, but you have to keep a few things in mind--neutrality (WP:NPOV) and the need for reliable sources (see WP:RS). Thank you.

Midwest Hip Hop Article
First, you offended me. Then you tell me not to be so quick to take offense so you offend me again. Like you, I am fairly new to editing and adding content myself. I want to stick within the guidelines and your jobs is to give guidance - not criticism. Over the years, I have added content to Wiki in various places WITHOUT any problems. Now, I understand you must do your job, but show ME some respect when you are doing your job. You have been rude in the way you deliver your reasons for editing to the way you actually edit content. Seems to me you are being biased. It would behoove you to look at the whole BEFORE deleting all of the content I submitted then give guidance. With that said, a lot of the content had been written BEFORE I started adding content. You deleted information on Sylk Smoov, but that content had been there previously. Being respectful to previous editors/writers, I did not change the comments because they apparently hadn't been by an administrator in the past. I am not here to cause trouble, and I enjoy Wikipedia. Please don't make me hate it because you don't know how to be professional and are being arbitrary in your editing. HoustonSTL (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thi'sl


A tag has been placed on Thi'sl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
