Your edits[edit]

Hi
I just noticed one of you edits, and saw that you have added a lot of speculation to articles - you are using "probably" a lot instead of supporting your facts with references to reliable sources.
One of Wikipedia's most important guidelines however is WP:VERIFIABILITY: All facts added to articles must be verifiable at reliable sources, or they must be removed. That of course includes speculation. Also, chart positions on iTunes are usually not notable or reliable information for several reasons (see WP:BADCHARTS).
I'm going to have to undo some of your changes because of this, I hope you're OK with that. If you have questions, ask at the appropriate article's talk page, or me on my talk page.
Oh, one last thing: I noticed that you added that Rihanna's next album is going to be called "Dark Angels". Do you happen to have a reliable source for that?

You have added again now that her next album is going to be called Dark Angels. Without a reliabe source saying so though we really can't have that in the article, to prevent spreading rumors as we so often do. Do you have one? --Amalthea^Talk 22:43, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back. Looking at your source however, I don't think one can call them reliable. The two URLs mentioned in the forum post both refer to blogs, i.e. self-published sources, and one of them even says it's only a rumor. One mentions an allmusic interview, but I find nothing there either. I'm afraid we can't list something like that in an encyclopaedic article, independant of if we think it's true, again per WP:VERIFIABILITY. And even if it's true, until it is officially announced it's not unlikely that it will be renamed again, which happens all the time. --Amalthea^Talk 23:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
