Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to List of Christian hip hop and rap artists, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Odd Thomas. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ''As suggested, write the article for rapper first, then link to it. Please also see the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles before creating the article.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:19, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * So having done a search, Odd Thomas does not meet the notability criteria I linked to above. http://www.google.com/search?q=odd+thomas+rap returns very few reliable sources to support that he's a recognizable name. No releases (yet) on major labels or even Christian labels. No charting singles. No national tours. Nothing. It is not appropriate to be including the subject in Wikipedia at this time.
