Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Proposed deletion of Personal property appraisal[edit]

The article Personal property appraisal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article doestn appear to be encyclopeidc rather a public service message about property appraisal in the united states

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:28, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 01:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My article was slated for deletion because it did not have any references in it, so I added links to the IRS page which defines a qualified appraiser as discussed in my article. Then I added a link to The Appraisal Foundation's "minimum requirements for personal property appraisers" link which establishes the USPAP standards I reference in my article. I did not realize that it was an improper way to reference the article. The next link I added was on a page about the cut of a diamond. The diamond cut is also used for synthetic gems and colored gemstones, so I added a link where I illustrated the information on my web site. I didn't realize that it was an improper way reference the topic. Since I am an antique appraiser,author, and lecturer I also added a link from the page about antique appraisal experts since I am one. My apologies if this is the incorrect format. I will certainly review the policy on external links and adhere to them.Dcinamon (talk)

Decline reason:

Contrary to the impression given in your unblock request, you added the same link to nine pages.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] If unblocked, are you intending to add this link again? PhilKnight (talk) 16:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

This was the first time I tried to contribute an article. The first notice in my talk section was because the article appeared to be commentary, I made some changes and submitted it. I continued to work and adding the external links that I realize now are inappropriate, but when I saw the flags and went back to look at it, I didn't realize that there were additional warnings below the original comments to the article I tried to amend. I would have stopped adding external text if I had seen the notices, but as they were further down the page, and I am unfamiliar with the entire process, I didn't see that I was going to be blocked until it was too late. I tried to outline why I added the links in the previous request to unblock in the hopes that it would illustrate my intent. But honestly, I simply didn't seem the block notice until it was too late. I am not a scammer or a spammer. I am a published author. Why I realize that it was my ignorance of your process, it honestly was not intentional Dcinamon (talk) 20:50, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: You won't be unblocked unless you explicitly agree to stop adding conflict of interest links to your own site. What type of edits do you intend to make if unblocked? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:22, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
