Warnings edit

  • Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Thrive. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Strom 02:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Love Liberty Disco. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Strom 02:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
You recently added an external link to YouTube in an article. It has been removed because the link pointed to a non-encyclopedic source.

Per WP:COPYRIGHT:
External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of copyright infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links for more information.
This is your final warning.

Anthology edit

In your recent edits to the Beatles Anthology album articles (1, 2 and 3), you created a new line in a random place where a new line should certainly not exist. If this was deliberate, it was vandalism; if not, then please be more careful. McLerristarr | Mclay1 03:10, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Uncle Milty. I noticed that you made a change to an article, N. Chandrababu Naidu, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Question for you edit

I've recently acquired a database of CCM charting songs from the entire history of the chart for all eight chars CCM published and am working on improving discographies on the topic. I noticed you added a lot of the information for singles at Michael W. Smith's discography years ago, and while they aren't cited to anything they line up with my numbers exactly. I was wondering if perhaps we have found the same database somehow - and I'm trying to get a clear chain of custody on this so I can establish it as a reliable resource for CCM charts. I've started a discussion at the Christian music WikiProject if you're interested discussing. Toa Nidhiki05 03:16, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
