Re:Greenday

Hi Brian, I'm sorry that you're experiencing so much frustration. From what I know, it is acceptable under wikipedia policy to add official fan sites to a band's article. Here are a few things that you can do to ensure that your edits are not removed:

1. Add an edit summary with a link to the WP:MUSTARD page. Specifically, to the external links section.
2. Discuss the nature of your changes and the reasons for them on the article talk page. This will give you a reference point to refer to in the event that people revert your edits.
3. Create a user account and make all of your edits from this account. This will help you establish credibility and will prevent your edits from showing up on the warning page of external editing programs. Other editors may think your edits are spam, since they are coming from an unregistered source. Creating an account, however, is not necessary, but only a recommendation in order to avoid reverts that are caused by a misunderstanding of the nature of your edits.
4. Also, sign your comments with "~~~~" so that people know who you are and the exact time of your post. It helps other users understand the chronological sequence of a conversation or argument. This is especially useful for conversations that take place between multiple user's talk pages.

Let me know if this helps. I am willing to help you further if it does not. ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 07:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem. In the future, you may want to reply on my page for a quicker response. Just respond under your original post on my page and remember to sign your posts with "~~~~" instead of "Brian." Thanks. I'll get back to you soon. ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 01:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Would you mind adding a link to GreenDay.net on the Green Day page for me? for some reason it is still not letting me. Since it its the official fan site, would you mind? thanks Iheartjimmy (talk) 15:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)Brian
