Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Toby Keith. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.--Startstop123 (talk) 17:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Please see the discussion page of that article, where I gave links and explained everything I did. I am not some random vandal.

I have responded on Talk:Toby Keith.
