Welcome!
Hello, Oceanstarlite, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. Again, welcome.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Category:Musicians from Flint, Michigan, did not appear constructive and has been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. If you think someone belongs in a category, you do not add them by editing the category page - you create a (properly referenced) article about them and then tag that article as belonging to the category.

 * You have also added The Four Gents to List of people from Flint, Michigan twice (and been reverted both times). The problem there is that entries should not be added to the list unless they have a Wikipedia article about them which demonstrates their notability. So, if The Four Gents satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements at WP:NMUSIC and you can find reliable sources (see WP:RS), including evidence that they are from Flint, then you should first create the article The Four Gents. After that, you can add them to the list. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
