Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Melvins, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been or will be reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Rob van vee 15:23, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! But, please note ...[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

Gloriaindieberlin: The articles you are adding references to are potentially useful, but you can't just copy a sentence and drop it into the article's lead paragraph. It usually doesn't fit, and more importantly, it violates copyright. Summarise what the source says, in your own words, or put a very brief quotation in quotation marks. Copyright is a serious matter, because Wikipedia is publication. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:49, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
