If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

You are not using edit summaries. Is there a particular reason why you're removing big chunks of this article (i.e. the certifications section)? This is a rather drastic edit and probably should be discussed on the talk page first. Removing a large section like this is definitely going to cause problems with some people. - eo (talk) 10:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-25T10:56:00.000Z","author":"Ericorbit","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ericorbit-2009-06-25T10:56:00.000Z-Britney_Spears_discography","replies":["c-Ericorbit-2009-06-25T11:14:00.000Z-Ericorbit-2009-06-25T10:56:00.000Z"],"displayName":"eo"}}-->

Thanks! I saw a huge back-and-forth war at the Lady Gaga discog page regarding certifications and I think you can agree that the last thing needed is more chaos on a page that already sees a ton of vandalism.

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption.

Use an edit summary when removing the same content from articles, as you did to The Massacre and Confessions (Usher album), rather than a minor edit, which doesnt explain the removal.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Racine Carrée, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Relationship (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
