Melissa Bell (singer)
On 16 August you put the following, what appears to be a complete article about the 2009 MTV awards at the bottom of the Melissa Bell (singer). Because you put a DEFAULTSORT value on your "section" it created a conflict with that of the original article and I caught it. I have placed your article here so that you can create it separately. I have deactivated the DEFAULTSORT so as to avoid categorizing your article.

You may be interested to know that the articles 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards already exist.

Yes, I probably should have just deleted the whole thing but that seemed much too harsh a response to a first-time contributor who has actutally registered. Happy editing!
