Hi MisterDiaz. I want you to know that it's great that you wanted to contribute to this article and improve it. A couple reasons why your additions were removed. 1) Information in Wikipedia must have what is called a "reliable source" such as a book or magazine - hopefully more than one. For the information that you added - no source was given. 2) The information is about the actual term "black mecca". Having read a lot of information on the subject, I can safely say that almost no one refers to Oakland or South-Central LA or Birmingham AL or even Detroit as a "black mecca". Certainly important black communities in our country, but not "the black mecca". That term - as far as I can find - is only used in reference to Atlanta and Harlem, and in one solitary instance I could find, Washington DC. If you can find sources that state otherwise, feel free to re-update the article and state the sources. Keizers (talk) 16:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
