Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Celia Cruz, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

In response to your feedback

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your feedback. Here on Wikipedia we try to make sure that the information that we publish is reliable. Our way of doing this is to ask our editors to say where the information that they are adding came from. After adding a fact editors have to add a reference so that others can check that it is real. To be accepted it must be from a reliable source such as a book, a journal, a newspaper or a trusted website.

• To add references you must first have a special section for them at the bottom of the page by typing this: ==References== then adding <references/> directly underneath. (This makes the references that you put into the text appear in the correct place under the heading.)

You should end up with this:

References

• You can start adding new text to the article and every time you add or change a fact you put a reference at the end of the sentence.

• You can use your Wikipedia toolbar at the top of the editing screen to make things easier for you.

There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.

You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your feedback. Please read the previous reply about adding citations. ...we try to make sure that the information that we publish is reliable.

To be accepted it must be from a reliable source such as a book, a journal, a newspaper or a trusted website. Also, the genre you referred to should be Soap Opera not Soup Opera.
