Gad Elbaz
Hi, I came across this article that you added to Template:Contemporary Jewish religious music. I'm wondering why you deleted all the sourced information and instead created something that reads like an advertisement? The current version does not meet Wikipedia standards.

 * Could you please explain what you're doing on this page? Yoninah (talk) 23:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi My name is Shlomi Cohen and I'm the manager of Gad Elbaz The reason I changed the text is that 30% of the things written in the incorrect or inaccurate so I wrote down everything accurately.

There are lots of things missing

Full name of Gad Elbaz Gaston Gad Elbaz is not listed as His birth date is 1982

Almost all of the information is incorrect in how it is written
 * Thanks for the explanation. All articles on Wikipedia must be verifiable – that means that the information must be cited to reliable sources. Just because you know something is true doesn't make it verifiable. Perhaps you have newspaper/magazine/online articles written by a reliable source (i.e., not you, but an independent, third-party reference) that you can cite for the information in the article? Also, your writing is far too promotional. The writing needs to have a neutral point of view. The version of the page that you keep reinstating is simply not acceptable, and will be reverted again. You can find some useful links and resources for writing articles at Help:Getting started. Yoninah (talk) 00:25, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

HiYoninah Of course everything has a source All sources will be updated in the coming days
 * Great. While you're at it, please remove the breathless prose extolling the singer, and POV language like, "the incredibly talented secular music stars of Israel" and "Gad made a historical and riveting performance". Yoninah (talk) 00:33, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
