February 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Little golden records has been reverted.
Your edit here to Little golden records was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/littlegoldenrecords) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:1 wiki.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:1 wiki.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that articles must demonstrate that their subjects are notable. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about anything, and any article about a person which does not indicate why that person is significant or important enough to be the subject of an article in an encyclopaedia is liable to be deleted under the provisions of Wikipedia's speedy deletion policy. Also, content copied from otehr web sites is likely to be deleted under the same policy, unless evidence is provided that copyright permission has been granted under terms consistent with Wikipedia's licensing terms, which allows free use by anyone anywhere in the world. We cannot simply assume that such permission has been granted (especially when content is copied from a web page which contains a copyright notice not mentioning such free licensing terms). For both these reasons, the articles B.T. (Brenda Taylor) and Ednah Holt have been deleted, and the same may happen to other articles if they are found to suffered from similar problems.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. As you know, the account was unblocked only so that you could request a change of username, and your continuing to edit from this account under this username constitutes an unambiguous breach of the conditions of the unblock. In addition, you have continued to edit in ways which indicate a clear conflict of interest, as your editing is exclusively in connection with your business, such as links to FaceBook pages, although it was explained to you long ago that doing so was unsuitable. You have also continued to add unsuitable links to articles on subjects to which you have a business connection. This has included restoring links relating to your business that you had previously inserted and which had, quite rightly, been removed. I see that, for some reason, the administrator who blocked you the first time chose to give you a block notice which said "your username is the only reason for this block", and not to give you a notice referring also to the conflict of interest and the element of promotion in your editing. However, you need to be aware that editing on behalf of a company to promote its interests is contrary to Wikipedia policy, and you may be blocked if you continue to appear to be doing so. I am giving you, below this notice, some of the text that would have appeared in the block notice you would have received if the original blocking administrator had not chosen to refer only to the username issue. If you think there are good reasons why this account should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Avenue B Boogie Band.png[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Avenue B Boogie Band.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:02, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
