Mo-dettes
Hi. Thanks for your edit to the Mo-dettes article. Unfortunately it's been reverted again, because you need to also include a reliable source for this additional band member. The references already linked in the article don't mention this name, and without proper sourcing the edit cannot be included. If you have a reliable source that supports the statement that this person was a member of the Mo-dettes, please feel free to restore the edit with the source attached. -- Euryalus (talk) 10:03, 6 February 2015 (UTC) Hi Euryalus! I'm sorry I don't really know how to edit or do Wikipedia I was flying by the seat of my pants! I am Melissa Ritter and I was indeed added later as a second guitar player which is mentioned in the Wikipedia article. Here are some books I am mentioned in as being a member of The Mo-dettes. I hope these sources will work. I don't know how to add the sources could you possibly add me back with the sources? It is very important to me as it was an important part of my life. Here are those books with links to the page I am on.
