Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Angel, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 07:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Angel. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page.

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 08:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
wikipedia is an encyclopedia
[edit]i can't really teach you how to add material to wikipedia such that it will conform to the many strict rules that are in force for inclusion. some of the most critical are verifiability and its 'brother' reliable sources, no original research and its subset no synthesis, along with a host of other rules (and you can click on any of those in order to read more). your material appears to be original research and isn't valid for inclusion in the encyclopedia. if reliable secondary sources can be quoted it might fly. but fundamentally, you need to spend time familiarizing yourself better with wikipedia. the best place to start is immediately to the left of this text - the "Help" link. there's a ton of useful information. i don't doubt that your edits were intended in good faith, but they simply failed on too many levels the strict rules that wikipedia has.
