Welcome to Wikipedia, SuperSuperSonic208! I'm CFA, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.
You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.
If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Undone two edits
editHi there! I have undone two of your edits ~ to Future (rapper) and Nas ~ because the language read better previously. Saying something is "better known" is not helpful in an encyclopaedia ~ better known by whom, how do we measure it, what proof is there that it is so? ~ whereas using "professionally known" or some variation thereof makes no judgement and simply states the fact that the person uses an alias for professional reasons.

- I get it, but there's no rule or guideline saying to not use "better known". How is it a poor phrase. SuperSuperSonic208 (talk) 15:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- It is a poor phrase because it is unclear, as i say: Better known than what? How do we know it's better known? How are you measuring it? You are making a value judgement in Wikipedia's voice, which we don't do, by saying "better known". If we say "professionally known", the phrase is at least as clear and is not making a value judgement, it simply saying that the artist uses an alias. which we proceed to give. in his or her profession. Hope this makes it clearer for you. Happy days, ~ LindsayHello 17:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
