 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

I see that you started creating a full page on Lil B, and it's great to have new people contributing to Wikipedia. However, the format and information contained in the article you made don't at all comply with the way Wikipedia articles are written. For one, it was a single paragraph with all of the info confusing jumbled. Try using the Article Wizard (there's a link above in the welcome info I gave you), and try looking at the way the pages for other musicians are organized. In addition, it sounded like a fan-zine article (with phrases like "blitzkreig"). Wikipedia articles should be in an encyclopedic tone; again, the info above can help.

The best step for you to take would be to first work on the page in your userspace. To do that type "User:Universemaker/Lil B" into the searchbox. Wikipdeia will say "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name." Then you can click on the first link in the list to start making the article. This lets you work on the article in your own space without having to worry about it being deleted while you bring it closer to WP standards. Once you've worked on it, I'd be happy to review it and provide suggestions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary&#32;for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Happysailor (Talk) 16:42, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Lil B. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Tommy! [ message ] 16:43, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
