September 2013[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 Helen Lowe has been reverted.
Your edit here to Helen Lowe 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 (https://twitter.com/helenl0we) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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) 05:12, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your changes again, as you have made wholesale changes which are contrary to our manual of style. You say in an edit summary that these are agreed changes, but I see no discussion on the article talk page about such changes. I suggest you try adding additional information within the existing structure of the article, and read how to add references. Finally, if you are directly connected with the subject of the article, please read our guidelines on conflict of interest.-gadfium 06:50, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Helen Lowe may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

We have been telling you why we are reverting your edits in the revision history logs. As you don't appear to be reading it, I'll tell you here. Wikipedia has rules to follow. When you don't follow them, you get reverted.

  1. Section headings are not to be all CAPS.
  2. Section headings are already bolded. You don't need to apply bold again.
  3. You are using wrong section headings. Going from a "==" to a "====" is not valid. This is done for screen readers that the blind use.
  4. You cannot use unreliable, primary references. Refs from Lowe's website are not reliable. You cannot use user generated content of ISFDB. For the same reason you cannot use Wikipedia as a ref. User generated content is unreliable. See WP:SOURCES for more info.
  5. You are removing valid references.
  6. You cannot write about possible future events. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Nobody knows what exactly will happen in the future.
  7. You cannot use mention her twitter and blogs and direct people to visit them. She has an official website that lists these social sites. Only mention her website in the external links section.

Finally. Paid editing is strongly discouraged. You have Ms. Lowe's agenda in mind which makes it hard to remain neutral in writing the article. Please see WP:COI.

You are welcome to edit the article as long as you follow Wikipedia's rules. If you have questions about the hows and ifs of doing something, I'll gladly answer them. Bgwhite (talk) 04:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Helen lowe.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Helen lowe.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:54, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
