ARTINFO

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. In addition, you have used artinfo.com as a reference, where the artinfo article just quotes an initial article in The Times or The New York Times. The reference should be to the original article.

Spamming

Some of your recent additions are useful, but others just state obvious facts about the artists, presumably as way of providing a link to the artinfo website. Please try and be selective. Your good faith could also be demonstrated by providing sources that don't all originate from the same place - then it would be clear that your primary aim is to improve articles, and not the promotion of a website.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 21:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I will second this relating to your recent edit to Montebello, please read conflict of interest guidelines as well as WP:RS _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 14:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

External Links / ArtInfo

Thank you for your recent edits to Wikipedia. There has been a concerned raised about the use of your account to an inappropriate external link (WP:EL) which may constitute spam. There is a discussion going on over at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#ArtInfo_and_User:_JPLei regarding your edits since it appears that the only contributions you have made to Wikipedia is to add just enough content to source/cite/reference the ArtInfo website. This may also relate to WP:COI. It would be of great benefit to you and the wikipedia community if you reply to some of the posts on this page and/or over at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#ArtInfo_and_User:_JPLei.

Speedy deletion of Culture+Travel

A tag has been placed on Culture+Travel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ged UK (talk) 21:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Savannah College of Art and Design‎. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Somno (talk) 00:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Tufts University, you will be blocked from editing. Somno (talk) 00:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Spam

You have been warned about adding external links for artinfo.com per WP:EL. Following the warning above, a new account Deurdie was created and added such links. This is clearly you or someone from artinfo.com and has been blocked from editing. Such infringements are likely to result in all accounts being blocked and even the site being put on the blacklist so that no links to it will be permitted on wikipedia. I note also a similar editing pattern from a much earlier account Tammy.Heller. As pointed out above, suitable referenced material is welcome. However, you have simply copied and pasted text from artinfo. This is a copyright violation and should not be done. Ty 02:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not an auction catalog

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Modernist (talk) 03:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Although I'm sympathetic to the inclusion of record-breaking prices (in the sense of breaking records, like Peter Doig or Marlene Dumas, rather than the highest sums for individual artists), some of your additions refer to fairly trivial sums. I find it hard to believe, for example, that £636,500 is amongst the highest of prices achieved for a work by Gilbert and George, and, if true, the amount is so comparatively negligible it has no place in an encyclopedia article. I'm coming round to the view that artsalesindex.artinfo.com could be blacklisted as a a site with an obvious commercial intent. Please stop the spamming, as you've been asked to do several times.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 18:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest

Hello, JPLei. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Louise Blouin Media, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
