Hello, Citrullonj81, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, your edit to Murphys Law 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. As it is the article reads like a review, which, while informative, is not acceptable.

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. Essentially you are going to have to take out a lot of the descriptive language, unless it can be reliably referenced to 'authoritative' secondary sources.

An alternative is just to shift the whole piece off Wikipedia and then just link to it in external links. Or leave brief summaries on wikipedia and use it as a ref, it's doubtful anyone would object to that.

One last note, please put edit summaries!

I see you have been reverted by another editor. No surprise there. What I've done is put the removed copy at User:Citrullonj81/MLaw where perhaps you can lick into acceptable shape. Wwwhatsup (talk) 12:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HI, what is it exactly that you want me to do. Most of these album description are cut and copied from a wikipedia page specifically for each cd. That's about 3 of them. YOu can see for yourself if you scroll to the bottom and click on the cd by name. Citrullonj81 (talk) 21:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ok, I've edited it a bit to make it less opinion based and more neutral. I hope this is acceptable. If it's alright, what happens from here? Citrullonj81 (talk) 22:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1) Describe your rationale on the talk page. 2) If it gets reverted again, unrevert and put "discuss on talk page" in the edit summary. 3) Discuss on talk page. Wwwhatsup (talk) 03:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
