A lengthy welcome

Hi Tepidyears777. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 21:44, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I will continue to work to become a better editor and I believe that I will be a better contributor. I will continue to work on my articles and sourcing as all of the people that I am developing articles in which the individuals have established notability but I need to make sure that I properly source information From objective sources and develop the articles in the proper manner as per Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tepidyears777 (talk • contribs) 03:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback and suggestions. I am grateful. I spent time to do more research, edits, and made sure to include internal Wikipedia links and many more reliable and credible sources from renowned rap publications that had featured articles on Blizz Vito such as The Source Magazine, Respect Magazine, Hip Hop Weekly and Hype Magazine. I probably should have named the article Blizz Vito instead of Blake Amiri Edwards because the search under Blizz Vito many more articles than the legal birth name of the Blake Amiri Edwards.

This article should not be deleted. The subject is a living person of considerable notability. 808Melo is a multiplatinum producer who has reached number one on the Billboard 200 charts as a songwriter and producer for the late rapper Pop Smoke Shoot for the Stars, Aim For the Moon as well as two charting mixtapes from Pop Smoke. The article includes many citations from credible, independent and reliable sources including but not limited to Billboard Magazine, NY Times, Complex Magazine, Pitchfork, Genius.com, Vice.com, The Independent Newspaper from the United Kingdom, etc. The articles feature information about the music production of 808Melo and the artists such as Pop Smoke and Fivio Foreign. Pop Smoke’s discography is published in Wikipedia as well as his biography and 808Melo is the primary producer responsible for the success of all of the music released by Pop Smoke. Tepidyears777 (talk) 04:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

808Melo has been discussed in The Wall Street Journal, The Billboard Magazine and The New York Times. The article provided citations from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Billboard Magazine. Article provided independently that 808Melo is a person of great notability since he was named as the number one artist, producer songwriter on Billboard Hot 100 in July of 2020 along with Pop Smoke. He also produced the certified platinum single by the RIAA “Dior” and the gold certified single “Welcome To The Party”, citations are provided to verify this information and it is also stated within the Wikipedia biography of Pop Smoke that 808Melo is the producer of these singles along with many others from the catalog of Pop Smoke.

Edit conflict

Sorry about the edit conflict on Daniel Dubois (boxer), but it's much better to include your sources when you make an edit, rather than adding unsourced content and then going back later to add a ref. Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 23:57, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

It was an error. The citation should have been included with the original edit. Thanks. Tepidyears777 (talk) 03:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
