February 2012[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 Samuel Powel has been reverted.
Your edit here to Samuel Powel was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://samuelpowellpenn.blogspot.com/2010/02/samuel-powell-wedding-will-penn.html) is/are on my list of links to remove(this blog has more information on William Powell potential Ancestor of Samuel s that any other sight in existence, why is it on your list -KL) and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), 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) 05:53, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

March 2012[edit]

Your addition to Samuel de Champlain has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material from this website and others to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holders. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Of course, you're very welcome to add material that conforms to Wikipedia's editing policies. For further guidance, please see the welcome message links above, and Wikipedia:Copy-paste in particular.

{{Talkback/Kevin Lajiness in a nutshell C.Fred I did not know that you could not use Wikipedia information from one artical to edit another because the content was more informative to the point and well written (User:Kevin Lajiness/talk) 3:22 pm 28 April 2012 Kevin Lajiness (talk) 19:25, 28 April 2012 (UTC)Kevin Lajiness[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Samuel Powel. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Ankit Maity ^Talk _Contribs 13:21, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Samuel Powel. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Haploidavey (talk) 14:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In a nutshell: Wikipedia is not a place to publish your original research. —C.Fred (talk) 00:06, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{Talkback/Kevin Lajiness in a nutshell C.Fred just because i point out the logic of something does not mean i am publishing research that is a stretch, i put the reference in the edit and the reader can come to there own conclusion but when there are two conflicting facts and one is illogical this should be pointed out (User:Kevin Lajiness/talk) 3:11 pm 28 April 2012 Kevin Lajiness (talk) 19:25, 28 April 2012 (UTC)Kevin Lajiness[reply]

Proposed deletion of The cleaning up and building of SJI Park ((A toxic contaminated overgrown and unusable (open space)Property)) that was rehabbed in 2007/2008[edit]

Hello, Kevin Lajiness. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, The cleaning up and building of SJI Park ((A toxic contaminated overgrown and unusable (open space)Property)) that was rehabbed in 2007/2008, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:21, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The cleaning up and building of SJI Park ((A toxic contaminated overgrown and unusable (open space)Property)) that was rehabbed in 2007/2008 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The cleaning up and building of SJI Park ((A toxic contaminated overgrown and unusable (open space)Property)) that was rehabbed in 2007/2008 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Persistent addition of original research and dubious sources[edit]

Hi, I've now twice removed your additions to Linwood, New Jersey, as they constitute original research and use unacceptable sources. The same issues are present in the single article you've created, a conflict of interest vehicle that's been nominated for deletion. I think it's been explained before, that your website, photographs, facebook and youtube links are not considered reliable sources--such are the reasons you've been encouraged to read Wikipedia's guidelines. If you continue to add improperly sourced content to articles I'll seek administrative oversight. Thanks, 99.0.80.70 (talk) 21:06, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other than my photoes and i think one video what is acceptable here, you're only telling half trueths, without my photoes the artical fall, and Wikipedia looses, those photoes show a seamless history and my referances othe than them are easily verifiable 1. ^ http://www.catholicstarherald.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6589:full-of-grace-father-leonard-carrieris-lasting-legacies&catid=102:latest-news 2. ^ http://www.panoramio.com/photo_explorer#view=photo&position=8&with_photo_id=62964338&order=date_desc&user=4563357 3. ^ http://www.csmonitor.com/1989/0103/dcarp.html 4. ^ Bookchin, Murray.

Your photos may be fine, and your recollections of the process are fascinating personal history, but they don't constitute WP:RELIABLE sources. The only solid source I can find among the ones you just listed is the Atlantic City article, and that's about you, with the park as a peripheral subject. What needs to be shown, and hasn't yet, are multiple published articles by objective sources in which the renovation of the park is the subject. That's a basic encyclopedic tenet, and I've attempted to explain that, and asked you to read the guidelines, both because the article isn't acceptable, and to prepare you for the inevitable..... 99.0.80.70 (talk) 23:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, it comes down to this: if you want your photos to be considered reliable sources per our standards, you must show that someone else has used your photos without asking you. That is, if you say your photos are telling a story, you must show that the story has been told before by someone you never met. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 19:50, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
