Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I noticed the recent additions to the article for Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker. Might I suggest that you visit this page about citing sources in Wikipedia which will assist you with formatting your references so that a description of the reference appears in the References section, rather than a bare URL.

Hello again
Hello,. Thanks again for your contributions. Glad to see you enjoy editing on Wikipedia.

I can see that you've made many updates and edits to the article for Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker which is great, however I've also noted that you continue to use bare URLs in your references. In addition, many of your references are from sources that are not considered reliable sources as per Wikipedia's guidelines such as personal blogs. I'd like again to suggest that you visit the link about reliable sources as well as this page about citing sources in Wikipedia which will assist you with formatting your references so that a description of the reference appears in the references section, rather than a bare URL. While there are many experienced editors constantly fixing the errors of inexperienced editors I am sure you can imagine that with the number of articles on Wikipedia this is almost an insurmountable task -- especially when you consider that hundreds of new articles are being created every day. With this in mind it would be nice if you could perhaps take a little time to read the links on citing sources and bare URLs. Creating your own properly formatted reference is not too hard. It is certainly easier for you to format your references properly right when you add them to the article, rather than counting on another editor to fix them all at a later date.

One should also be careful not to use USS's Wikipedia article as a repository of almost every live performance and tour that the band embarks upon. As discussed in the Wikipedia guideline article What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia articles should not be news reports. As stated in the aforementioned link:


 * News reports. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews. See also: Notability (events).

Remember, the band does have their own website where they can post the latest news on themselves and we also have a link to their website in the Wikipedia article.

If you need help in any way, don't be shy. I am more than willing to provide assistance. I check my userpage daily, if not several times a day, so if you would like assistance, guidance, or would just like to respond to my comments, please leave me a message on my talk page and I'll try to help you with what I can. You might also consider checking out Questions or you can also place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
