Zara Larsson
[edit]Hi, I just noticed a moment ago that you had posted a comment to me back in April. You posted it to my user page, however, and not to my talk page, so I never received notification of this message. I'm not sure why you think you might have offended me or how you got the notion that I said anyone was "crap". In fact, I think that Zara Larsson is a phenomenal singer; I cannot even begin to imagine myself disparaging her. The reason that I removed your praise from her article is not that I didn't agree with your assessment of her--I agreed completely; I do find her amazing--but rather that Wikipedia articles simply are not about our opinions of anything. The point of this project is to provide summaries of what can be verified about notable subjects through reliable sources. It can't make room for everyone's opinion about everything. If one would like to indicate Larsson's talent, one needs to do so by citing the praise that significant entities have verifiably given her. We have to write these articles as (at least ostensibly) neutral editors; we cannot take it upon ourselves to be music critics or original researchers of any other kind. Again, I think that Zara Larsson is a wonderful singer; I find her to be an inspirational human being. In fact, I don't even know what kind of person would be drawn to this project in order to promote the view that a young girl is "crap", and I don't really want to find out. The point is--and was--that it doesn't matter. Our personal tastes will affect the articles we edit, but they can't form the basis of what we add. Ultimately, we have to go with what the sources say.

[edit]Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Britney Spears worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you.
