Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.Template:Do not delete Enigmamsg 04:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edit request
Hi. I think you meant to make a request to edit a semiprotected article, probably having to do with the Zodiac Killer. Unfortunately, you ended up adding the request to the template instructions themselves. I've fixed that, but if you still want to request the edit, here's how it works: go to the article, then to the talk page for that article by clicking the 'discussion' tab. Click the 'new section' tab and enter a subject like 'edit request' or 'map solution'. In the big edit box enter {{editsemiprotected}}
on a line by itself, then your request and four tilde characters (~~~~) to sign your post. Enter an edit summary, click Show Preview to see what it looks like and click Save Page to finish. Good luck and welcome again. Celestra (talk) 06:03, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Disputed External Link
I was afraid that might happen. There are some policies that one could argue apply to this link. The relationship to the main article is marginal, which may violate WP:ELNO. The link may also violate WP:SOAPBOX and WP:NOTLINK, which oppose using Wikipedia to advocate a viewpoint or as a collection of links. Some of the things that swayed me to add the link were:
- One should err on the side of satisfying a semiprotected edit request.
- The link did seem like something a reader might be interested in.
- The preceding link had similar issues. (This is not a valid argument for inclusion, by the way.)
- The link wasn't self published.
That last one introduces the copyright issue that I didn't notice. There is nothing wrong with linking to copyrighted material, but we can't link to copyright violations. The issue is whether unazod.com has a license to include a copy of your work. You could have prevented that by including a license along with your copyright claim allowing anyone to reproduce the work in its entirety as long as they include the copyright and license. As far as advice...don't edit war. You need to counter the arguments people make for removing it with dispassionate arguments for its inclusion, if you can find any. Your best argument is that it might be interesting to the reader. Read WP:EL to understand the rules. Ask them to explain clearly why they feel that this violates those policies, so that you can read those sections and understand and respond. Primarily, you need to have a mindset of "how does this improve Wikipedia," rather than "how do I get this into Wikipedia," when you respond to the objections. If you can think of arguments to convince them on the talk page, or if they convince you, that would be best. There are dispute resolution methods beyond that but they should be used only when easier methods fail. I'll keep an eye on how things are going and you're welcome to ask me if you run into a stumbling block. Just so you understand, I have only been doing this for a short time myself and I am not an admin or someone with special privileges, just another editor like yourself.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders. 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. DreamGuy (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
You are being discussed
Hi, you have been reported to the conflict of interest noticeboard here due to your recent editing. Please take notice of the COI guidelines below. You are welcome to comment in the discussion. Thanks Smartse (talk) 15:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Akwilks. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Smartse (talk) 15:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 07:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
