Gene ZEF for yolandi vissers page
I am a little concerned with the fact I spent hours on the phone getting the correct information from the actual person the page is about. Then fixing it, pressing enter and then later having it reverted. Now I might have not put things in the proper place or used the proper format, but i am in the learning process. I dont think i deserved threats or having the original account i made deactivated.
Is this how you treat new editors? Is this how you treat people in general?
I would really like to be left alone to edit the page, now if you have a suggestion for making something work better for the page let me know.
I appreciate Anna, she has been most helpful so far.
^^that is me and Anri du Toit (Yolandi Visser^^ So if you are asking if what I am editing is correct, yes it is. Very.
- While editing Biographies of Living People, certain criteria must be met about what can be included, see WP:BLP. Your point about having to refer to you if the content is correct or not is irrelevant. What can be included in the article must be verifiable by a reliable secondary source, see: WP:VERIFY. Furthermore, there cannot be original research, see: WP:NOR. While editing the article, comply with those standards, and the edits will not be reverted. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 19:22, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ THIS TODAY, BUT I WILL NOT TRY TO MODIFY ANYTHING UNTIL I DO. :)

Hey Anna your awesome. The girl this wiki page is about said to tell you thank you the other (old) picture was of her but it was so unflattering and now she has a great picture on wiki. she said to thank you. but I am having some other issues with the coding. I keep trying to add the fan group website on facebook for the band and it wont stay loaded. any advice?
- This is just a heads up since you seem to be new to wikipedia, this is regarding the fan page link. There was nothing wrong with the coding, it just keeps getting removed by various editors. It is against wikipedia policy for fan pages to be posted in articles. One external link to an official page is appropriate. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 07:50, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have no advice on the fan group issue. Xcuref1endx has covered that.
- Oh, and please tell Yolandi "You are most welcome. I am happy to help." If it turns out that the image you uploaded is not suitable, please consider another, either owned by you, or something she could provide. If the uploader owns the rights, you can upload as many images as you wish. The best will certainly be preferred for the articles. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:41, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:02, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Yolandi Visser. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.
Your edit here to Yolandi Visser was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Die.Antwoord.World.Wide.Fans/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

- This is only link-spam and vandalism. --Serols (talk) 09:08, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I will try to help
Please, all, calm down. Let's discuss things.
Please, Gene ZEF, you have a very close connection to the subject and this may be causing problems. You are trying to help improve the article, and that is good. Nobody has greater rights to the article than anyone else. I know you are trying to help. Let's please take things slowly and we can figure out how to make the article acceptable to all.
User:Serols, please, let's not give final warnings for vandalism. Gene is acting in good faith. He is new and trying to help. We must not bite. We must assume good faith. Please, discuss, not issue warnings. This can be sorted out. Let's all be patient.

- Hello Anna Frodesiak, after having sought the discussion, he could´t get a warning from me. Regards --Serols (talk) 11:46, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I am calm, but you have to see things from my point of view. Just learning how this board works is not as easy as you think. I have been trying diff things, I was hoping people would be more patient with me. I appreciate the candor in which this is being addressed. Anri is disappointed with how her page looks, how Ninja (Watkins) page looks and how the bands page looks, not to mention DJ Hi-Tek, He doesnt even have a wiki.
Now If I put something in the wrong place show me how or tell me that its wrong. I will comply with how things are suppose to go here. If for nothing else to get their wiki pages correct. The information I place is first hand information. I know that some of what is posted needs a citation, I dont know how to do those yet, but I will back everything up I can with "live" weblinks to the information. I am hoping to find everything I am told online, but what do I do in the case I cant back something up with a link?
I am not trying to vandalize her page I"m trying to repair and update her page and the rest of the band members. She would appreciate if you would keep information about her daughter to a minimum.
Her picture was updated by myself and then removed, I only am wanting to know what I have to do to update her picture, because the one she has is not a good representation.
