Redirected user page

[edit]

I redirected your old user page to this user talk page. You can check it out here. I'll leave it up to you whether or not to redirect the old talk page to the new account. Also I'm going to reblock the old account because the name change has been stopped. This shouldn't impact you (as you have this account now). Protonk (talk) 17:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks alot. I can't believe how responsive you guys are. Zoident (talk) 17:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[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 Aftermath (band) has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://www.myspace.com/aftermathchicago) . 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. 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!

  • FYI you can revert this and place it at the bottom of the page in an external links section or the band infobox. However, it can't be used in the bulk of the article (as a source or "inline"). See the linked "External link" policy for more. Protonk (talk) 20:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I retyped the info. I only used it in the band infobox, but I deleted it now.
  • I want to add some photos, do I need to wait four days to do this?

Thank you for uploading File:Killing the Future Promo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Skier Dude (talk) 08:25, 29 November 2009 (UTC) I took the photo and upload the photo to the article for Aftermath (American Band). I think I added the correct tag. My desire is to make sure that this photo is included in the article. Please let me know if I have done what is necessary to achieve this. Zoident (talk) 10:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of thrash metal bands may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • * [[Aftermath (American Band) |Aftermath}}<ref>{{citr web |author=Born, Sharpe-Young, Gary |title=A - Z of Thrash Meta, available on [[Cherry Red

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Zoident. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Aftermath (American band), 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.
  • 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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. The Dissident Aggressor 14:36, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the help. I want to improve the content of the page and at the same time state only facts. I have been careful to do the latter. In terms of citations I felt they were sufficient by citing a book the band was included in, a compilation record by Metal Forces, the various labels and magazines. Do I need to reference and cite specific issues for the magazines? Any help is appreciated.Zoident (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Zoident[reply]

I think the best thing would be to compile as many WP:RS as possible and list them on the talk page. That may sway the deletion discussion. The Dissident Aggressor 21:22, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have added numerous citations today. Specified issue dates and links to websites. I think this should cover it. If you get a chance to check it out please do so.Zoident (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Zoident[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aftermath (American band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page RIP. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for pointing that out. I corrected the mistake and now it directs to RIP Magazine on the Larry Flynt article.Zoident (talk) 14:08, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Zodent[reply]
