Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Josh and the Empty Pockets 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): \bmyspace\.com (links: http://www.myspace.com/joshandtheemptypockets).
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 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) 03:39, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
WTF? Why was that deleted? Would you happen to have a wl to the deletion debate?
Hi Andy Dingley! Don't mean to be too excited, but I'm very new to this, and you're the first real person with whom I'm commenting. Let me see if I can help...
It looks like The Cartel (record distributor) was proposed for deletion by User:Aitias late last year. Then, since there was no objection for over five days, User:Aitias went ahead and deleted the page. Therefore, there was no debate. I have no idea why it was deleted but given what I'm learning, my guess is that there was no references given or something like that. In any event, it's very easy for you to start the discussion process. You might start by looking at a general note that User:Aitias left here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Aitias/deleted. As you can see, just like me -- albeit on a much more modest scale since I was just cleaning up some internal links to deleted pages -- User:Aitias was just serving the Wikipedia community by cleaning up some pages that might have needed some work. Since nobody was watching them to either explain why they shouldn't be deleted or clean them up (adding References, or what not) he went ahead an deleted them.
Good luck! And let me know if you do start the deletion debate. I'd be happy to read both sides and chime in.-- Ludasaphire ( talk) 13:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Wow, Andy Dingley, you really did a great job. I found it interesting and well researched. You'll note that I went in and chimed in to "Keep" the article. I also indicated that one sentence should either have a Reference or be modified so as not to conclude that they were "effective" and so on, since to me that's not a neutral point of view. Of course, I'm new to this, so maybe that's perfectly fine. In any event, it looks like you saved the article. Nice job!
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a
Wikipedian!
Please
sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out
Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Since you've run into them already, I'll explain bots as well: bots, short for "robots," are automated programs that do many tasks, such as guarding for vandalism, watching for plagiarism, and even making new article stubs (very short articles needing expansion). If you have trouble with a bot, your best bet is to speak with that bot's owner, and most if not all bots leave contact information in their messages.
"Marked Patrolled" just means that another editor, usually someone who goes through dozens if not hundreds of "new pages" in a sitting, checked out your page, either didn't see any problems or tagged it appropriately for cleanup (or deletion in the case of vandalism), and marked it "patrolled" so other editors could skip over it while doing new page patrol themselves. You didn't do anything wrong! Although, from the looks of your law firm page, you might want to have a look at at the article regarding Neutral Point of View, as the page has been tagged that it reads like an advertisement. Make sure you have a read through the above linked articles, too, as they'll help you a lot (I still refer to them pretty regularly myself!)
Again, welcome! -- HamatoKameko ( talk) 17:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Other than "putting things right", is there anything else I should do about a vandal? I see that in the law firm Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal someone added about the firm's chair that he was a dushbag.
Thanks for any guidance.-- Ludasaphire ( talk) 00:49, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Yusuf_Islam_and_David_Spero.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey ( talk) 22:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia's Law of Unintended Consequences If you write in Wikipedia about yourself, your group, your company, or your pet idea, once the article is created, you have no right to control its content, and no right to delete it outside our normal channels. Content is not deleted just because somebody doesn't like it. Any editor may add material to or remove material from the article within the terms of our content policies. If there is anything publicly available on a topic that you would not want included in an article, it will probably find its way there eventually. More than one user has created an article only to find himself presented in a poor light long-term by other editors. If you engage in an edit war in an attempt to obtain a version of your liking you may have your editing access removed, perhaps permanently. In addition, if your article is found not to be worthy of inclusion in the first place, it will be deleted, as per our deletion policies. Therefore, don't create promotional or other articles lightly, especially on subjects you care about. |
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article
Josh and the Empty Pockets,
David Spero and
Solomon curve]], you may have a
conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 03:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

The file File:David Spero 1990.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot ( talk) 01:01, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
