Welcome!

Hello, Truegirl11, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Kris Kristofferson‎ does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Alexbrn (talk) 06:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Just a quick note to explain what Alexbrn is talking about above: The "Huffington Post" piece isn't actually part of their news site. It's not obvious to everyone, but HuffPo runs a blog section for pretty much anyone, like WordPress or similar blogging sites. This post about the musician is from one of those blogs, not from the news media.

The English Wikipedia has rules against adding information about living people's health conditions and similar things unless it's gotten a lot of attention in the media. A blog post by an advocacy group isn't enough to make it worth mentioning. It's better for the article to focus on what makes him notable, which is his music.

Extended content

Hello, I'm Soupvector. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Kris Kristofferson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! — soupvector (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2016 (UTC) Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Kris Kristofferson. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — soupvector (talk) 02:31, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

In follow-up, I just wanted to thank you for being constructively engaged (in article space and in WP Talk space) - it's great to have you here. — soupvector (talk) 02:19, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!
