Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Abigail Child appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Cunard (talk) 18:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Abigail Child is an artist whose original montage pushes the envelope of sound-image relations with sensitivity, smarts and passion. – the phrases I have bolded are not neutral descriptions of Abigail Child.
Your edit also removed the external links, categories, and interwiki links from the article.
Your changes caused the article not to have wikilinks (see Wikipedia:FAQ/Editing#How do I make links? for how to make some). Also, your edit removed the sourced content that was already in the article; please incorporate your changes into the current revision instead of just writing over it.
Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:
- {{cite news}} : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use {{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= |url= |work= |publisher= |date= |accessdate={{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY}} }}
- {{cite web}} : for web pages. I normally use {{cite web |url= |title= |accessdate= |last= |first= |coauthors= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate={{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY}} }}. If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
- {{cite book}} : for books. I normally use {{cite book |title= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages= |url= }}.
These templates will allow you to better format your references so I ask that you use them for all the references you wish to include in the article.
I reverted your changes because they were neutral, removed external links, categories, and interwiki links from the article, caused the article not to have wikilinks, and replaced valid, sourced content with other information. Please rectify these concerns, and your changes will be fine.
