To get some practice editing you can
use a sandbox. You can
create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click

Hello, I'm Pdebee. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Salsa music (... here) in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Patrick. ツ Pdebee. (talk)(become old-fashioned!) 08:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Salsa music. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's
policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in
loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
Patrick. ツ

Dear
Vyndle0,
Since you appear to be a new user here on Wikipedia, I am going to
assume good faith and will explain why I am going to revert the edit you applied twice,
here and
here. It is important to remember that everything we add or change in Wikipedia articles needs to be corroborated by a citation to a
reliable source; anything else is considered "
original research". It is quite possible that you know more about Cuban music than I do, but what's important here is the principle of respecting existing content that previous editors had added, along with the citations they collected from reliable sources. Therefore:
... salsa music and dance "both originated with Cuban rhythms that were brought to New York and adopted, adapted, reformulated, and made new by the Puerto Ricans living there." [1]";
He is one of the most influential figures in Latin music, best known for being the creator of the Fania All-Stars and Fania Records, and for coining the term "Salsa" to denote the genre. [2]".
To make extra sure, and aside from the sources cited above, I have also consulted my copy of The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, which defined salsa, as follows:
Beginning in the 1960s, Puerto Ricans and other Hispanic Caribbeans living in New York City modernised and transformed the son by paring down ensembles, combining elements of jazz, and using urban-oriented lyrics. The term salsa distinguished it commercially from its Cuban predecessor, though musicians and audiences have always acknowledged its connections with son. [...] Music that elsewhere might be called salsa is still produced in Cuba, though locals reject the term as a U.S.-derived commercial name.
—The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music (1998), "Salsa". [3]
In conclusion, I will now revert your latest edit, in hopes that you will abide by the Wikipedia guidelines in future, as I tried to guide you already with the three templates I left here at your talk page, above. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.
With kind regards; Patrick. ツ
Pdebee.
