February 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Funkmaster Flex, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Looking at the block of text you added, the only sources cited were YouTube videos. Additionally, the text was very out of compliance with the manual of style. Please review that guide before attempting to change the article. I also suggest you make smaller additions rather than such sweeping changes to the article. —C.Fred (talk) 21:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Funkmaster Flex. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. DVdm (talk) 21:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. DVdm (talk) 22:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
