Information icon Hello, I'm Longhair. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Longhair\talk 11:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Editing

[edit]

Ok that wasn't my intention it was just about who the band is and how it started would it be ok if I re edit a little try and take out those bits that's seemed to market it.? Undercoverbandlismore (talk) 11:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be a tad confused of the purpose of Wikipedia. Role accounts, and accounts used for promotion are somewhat frowned upon also, which you may read up on at WP:ROLEACCOUNT. Also, it'd pay to read over WP:NOT, especially the part in reference to Wikipedia not being used as a vehicle for promotion. If you have any further questions I am more than happy to help if I can. -- Longhair\talk 11:42, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Undercoverbandlismore", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Longhair\talk 11:47, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't feel I am throwing the rule book at you. Wikipedia suffers a lot from self promotion and I'm attempting to place you into the picture sooner rather than find out the hard way later. Let me know if you need anything else. Happy editing. -- Longhair\talk 12:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
