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 Bass Musician Magazine has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/Bassmusicianmag (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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) 04:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of As is...Live at the Blue Note

edit
 

A tag has been placed on As is...Live at the Blue Note requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Friendly warning

edit

Hi! So far, almost all of your edits have been links to the same web site. Wikipedia's spam rules strongly discourage anyone from linking to their own web sites, and users who contribute nothing but multiple copies of a single link are often perceived as spammers, regardless of the quality of the link they are sharing. If you are truly interested in helping make Wikipedia better, you should add to the content of an article, citing the best available source of information that confirms your additions. Many Wikipedia editors have very negative feelings toward people they perceive as using the encyclopedia to promote themselves, so it would be a good idea if you took a break from adding the same link. Don't worry- if that site really is the best source of information, it is inevitable that other people will use it when they are adding information to Wikipedia. Thanks! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Doug Wimbish. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Rrburke(talk) 01:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Chris Tarry. 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.

Proposed deletion of Bass Musician Magazine

edit
 

The article Bass Musician Magazine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is (well) written by the publisher of the magazine. It is a public relations exercise - an advertisement. It is written in the first person plural (we/our) throughout. It is not notable - it cannot be referenced because there are no third party references available - I've searched.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MarkDask 12:56, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Thanks for contributing new article Bass Musician Magazine. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding sources to the article you created and by making it clear how the sources support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks! PS If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me.
