Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article African hip hop, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to African hip hop. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 13:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Your edits at African hip hop

Hi there. It might be a good idea that you acquaint yourself with some basic Wikipedia Guidelines & Policies before editing (e.g. WP:RS, WP:POORSRC, WP:SELFPUB, WP:V, WP:LINKSPAM etc.). That way your edits will be in line with Wikipedia's Rules and won't be reverted. Please do not continue adding spam links or adding material from unreliable sources into this article. Thank you.
