Hello,
Would you please explain to me why you removed my additions to the David Ferguson Bio page. I continue to work on the neutrality of my edition and am wondering why people continue to remove my edits.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to
David Ferguson (impresario), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use
the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the
welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been
reverted. Please make use of the
sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article David Ferguson (impresario), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
When you edit the Ferguson article, please be more careful with your changes. In particular, I've noticed three types of problems that your edits cause:
toFor that record, Ferguson commissioned Jean-Michel Basquiat to design what has become one of the iconic album covers of the punk rock era.
I don't think that that was an improvement.For that record, Ferguson commissioned Jean-Michel Basquiat to design became one of the iconic album covers of the punk rock era.
Overall, I really believe that you would be more successful at editing if you used Preview to view your changes before you published them (and no, you're not the only one!).
I hope you take this in the spirit with which it's intended—to make both our lives simpler. Thanks! Dori ( Talk • Contribs) 02:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello, FYI, I am not an admin. I am going to remove that description from your BLP notice board. -- The Red Pen of Doom 19:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Please do not add
unsourced or
original content, as you did to
David Ferguson (impresario). Doing so violates Wikipedia's
verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be
blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Continuing to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, or deliberately introducing incorrect information may also be considered
vandalism. Your changes have been reverted, so please stop the disruptive editing.

To me, the liner notes on an CD would generally be considered a reliable primary source for the production credits for that CD. However, I would think the citation should be to the liner notes themselves and not to a self published website that hosts a copy of the liner notes (for reading: WP:Citing Sources#Convenience links). Someone at Reliable Sources for questions about whether or not its a reliable source [ [1] , or WikiProject Music Wikipedia:WikiProject Music may be better able to let you know what consensus the community has around those issues and how to cite some non-accademic sources. -- The Red Pen of Doom 21:10, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
