November 2022[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 Breaking Point (band) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Breaking Point (band) 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://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRA-TpsCrK1IoJ2EjgEDg) 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 media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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) 17:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Breaking Point 27. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Breaking Point (band), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm researcher & music fan Don Salter, formerly Breaking Point 27. I changed username to avoid conflict of interest. In error, I quoted Breaking Point Drummer Aaron "Zeke" Dauner without citation. I am not him. I was sharing actual Breaking Point YouTube link as they broke up in 2007 have no website & sell nothing on YouTube. This is not vandalism or advertising. It's the most factual info on the band as it's captioned video. Breaking Point 27 (talk) 03:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Silikonz. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Breaking Point (band)—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Silikonz💬 22:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Breaking Point (band). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Silikonz💬 22:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Username[edit]

I'm a music fan and music industry college grad. I'm new to Wikipedia & made my username after a Breaking Point song I like: Breaking Point 27. If this is a problem, what should I call myself instead? Rolling Stones Honkey Tonk Woman Fan? Your name is already taken, so I definitely won't be using that...

You might want to ping someone regarding your requested username. Your username shouldn't contain the name of another entity. Silikonz💬 14:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name changed to Don Salter. Does this meet the standard? It not the name of any entity I'm aware of... 73.108.46.147 (talk) 16:27, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It can be your real name if you wish. Silikonz💬 16:33, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you. I'm new to this. 73.108.46.147 (talk) 16:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. Thanks for creating the new user. Silikonz💬 16:40, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question, it allowed me to use Don Salter as it was available, but now won't let me log in saying "name in use". I'm the one using the name as it was available yesterday, I just can't sign into it now. Any ideas? 73.108.46.147 (talk) 17:05, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
