Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Who Dat?, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and 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.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Who Dat?. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who Dat Nation

[edit]

Thank you for your message on my talk page, and for your show of good faith as a fellow Saints fan in asking about this. Wikipedia has its own terms and policies and they can seem a bit arcane to new users, but the goal is simply to ensure that everything in a Wikipedia article can be verified in third party reliable sources. The material you've sought to add lacks this: you gave no citations to any such reliable sources, and searching on my own, I haven't found any such reliable sources. Examples of coverage that might be acceptable would be articles in the Times-Picayune or in notable professional sports publications that support the text you propose to add. (Message boards and most blogs, however, are generally not deemed acceptable.)

It may also be helpful for you to review the pages entitled Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not--in particular the section entitled Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion--and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Please note that the edit by IP editor 67.10.143.49 about "no trade marks", which you mentioned in your message to me, was also quickly deleted--and not by me, although I fully agree with the deletion.

Wikipedia pages are edited by consensus. If you would like to seek other views, the best place to start would be a post on the talk page of the article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
