Commercial use of Image:Baldfreak.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Baldfreak.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Baldfreak.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Baldfreak.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Bald Freak Music

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bald Freak Music, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. Oo7565 09:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Guitarists

Hello, I noticed your name popping up in the edit history of a few guitar related articles. I was wondering if you would be interested in joining the WikiProject Guitarists? We are a group of editors interested in editing and improving all guitar/guitarist related pages. Feel free to browse through any of the Project pages and, if you're interested, we could certainly use another dedicated editor in our ranks.

Thanks. Guitart (talk) 21:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC) --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 18:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. All your edits seem to be to articles related to yourself.

Articles for deletion nomination of Bald Freak Music

I have nominated Bald Freak Music, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bald Freak Music. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. RadioFan (talk) 13:09, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Autobiography

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. RadioFan (talk) 13:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

LMAO!

Greetings. Am I right in thinking that you are actually Ron Thal? If so, I would like to offer my congratulations on becoming the only member of Guns N' Roses, past or present, without an individual Wikipedia article. That's actually quite a remarkable achievement for one of the world's top guitarists, and I don't know about you, but I think it's fucking hilarious! In case you haven't been paying attention (maybe because you have more important things to do and aren't completely self-obsessed) and you're wondering what the Hell happened, it was the Bald Freak Music deletion discussion, which also encompassed a number of related articles including Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, which now redirects to Guns N' Roses. Since Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal was nominated for deletion under Bald Freak Music rather than as a completely separate item, it escaped the attention of many editors who might have had something to say about it.
We're fixing it though: as amusing as such bizarre anomalies may be, we are trying to run an encyclopaedia here! Well, when I say we're fixing it, I mean mostly other people, perhaps most notably Aisha9152 who challenged the decision when she discovered you'd been "merged". Since the merge was performed as a result of due process and "consensus" (albeit involving only a few editors), it would be something of a breach of Wikiquette simply to reinstate the article as it was before the merge, so it's been moved to a great invention: the Article Incubator. Here's the current version which Aisha and others are working to have returned to mainspace. It's been condensed a bit since some uncited stuff was trimmed, but if you want to check the current version for accuracy and stuff, we'd appreciate any suggestions for improvements.

All the best,

OK, as you can see, it's been restored. The article still needs some tidying up after some ruthless pre-merge "clean-up" left the remaining cited information a bit disjointed, but it'll get sorted soon enough. Contains Mild Peril (talk) 14:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
