Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is R0gue c0wb0y). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. --Tom 15:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Jordin sparks edit

Hello Tom, This is in response to your “Welcome" message and deleting my edit. I have been doing editing on here for quite some time. I have never felt it necessary to be a user on here until it became so. I never felt the need for taking credit for my edits because they would have been done by someone else who feels that the truth should be reflected in wikipedia. When I made my edits to the article I was signed in, but the server seemed to be having problems, due to mass usage no doubt. I do appreciate your view in trying to correct my last edit as it has been a while since I have done one properly and might not have gotten my thoughts across clearly, however I feel strongly in the matter of the last edit because it is a fact. In your reason for correction you state “Provide reliable sources that states this and it can be added back, thanks!” My reliable source is the show itself. If you watched the show you can see the difference. This was not an opinionated statement. It is a fact that they edited her recap to show a different ending, perhaps if you have a DVR as I do and recorded the show you can see this as well. I am a fan of Jordin Sparks, but this should not be in question. It is about truth, fairness and the facts. I look forward to your response. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R0gue c0wb0y (talk • contribs)

Hi Rogue cowboy. Whats the line? "Wikipedia is not about the truth". What you saw and reported might be absolutely rock solid true fact, but you know what it counts for? Sqwaut, unfortuneately. What you saw and reported constitues original research. I would refer you to WP:OR. Wikipedia is about compiling already established, peer reviewed material. Current events prove problematic since there isn't alot of "established" material right away. If the NY Times or entertainment tonight or ANY reliable source reports what you are saying, you can cite them and add their material to the project. Again, I am not disputing what you saw or said but you need to find WP:RS that say EXACTLY what you want to add to the article. Cheers and have fun tonight :) --Tom 17:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
