Updates / Roy Orbison
Hello. You might be the anonymous IP who has added much detail to the lead of Roy Orbison within the past 2 days. If that is you, first, thank you for getting an account. You might be quite new at this, so here's a quick tutorial:


 * Leads, or introductions in articles, have guidelines to be found here. They should be short but summarize the most important parts of the article. They are not appropriate for lists, just for the most notable achievements of a subject's life.


 * I apologize for the heavy-handed language I used in threatening to report you for edit warring if you are, in fact, the anonymous IP. If you are interested in adding information to the article and improving it, you are welcome to do so. It must, however, adhere to the core policies of Wikipedia, seen here. I wrote the latest incarnation of Orbison's article as a great fan, as I am sure you are as well.


 * Every article has a talk page, which you can find at the top of the article in a tab called "Discussion". If you want to make suggestions or discuss improvements to the article, that is the best place to do it. Not all suggestions will be followed. It is a collaborative process that depends sometimes on policy, which you may yet have to learn, sometimes on what sources say, and sometimes on what the majority of editors agree on.
