Hello, 88.212.37.151, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Metallica have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been.

Be sure 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.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of best-selling albums in the United States. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. Here is the link to the RIAA's most certified albums. Every "correction" you made to sales figures or RIAA certifications were unsourced and incorrect.
