Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Street art do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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, then 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. -SpuriousQ (talk) 09:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Street art. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -SpuriousQ (talk) 09:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Bomit, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Herostratus 03:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{hangon}}

This is simply a description of Bomit (Sticker Distribution / Street Art Portal).

Sticker Art Category.

Also see Sticker Traders: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticker_Traders

Please see Obey Giant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obey_Giant

  • Both of the above are articles with context - your article has none at this stage - please write it to the type of level of the examples you show and let me know and I will remove the deletion tag myself.--VS talk 07:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to advertise or spam at all.

Maybe you can do me a big favor to Google "Bomit" and have a look at the community and tell me how to fix it?

Thank You

A tag has been placed on Bomit, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --VS talk 06:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from an article. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Re: Bomit thingy

[edit]

Please, if you create this article yet again, please put basic information there. There's two big problems with the previous versions of the article:

  1. They don't tell why the group is notable (criterion A7 for speedy deletion), and
  2. people who read the articles have basically no idea how this article relates to the big picture (criterion A1 for speedy deletion).

Mere inclusion of an external link to the website does not accomplish these goals; the article should have all of the relevant information on what the subject is about and what makes it remarkable. This is required for all articles, and makes starting article a little bit more time-consuming, but it helps us keep completely non-notable content out and saves us from trouble later... Anyway, happy editing! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Links to the bombit community are not considered appropriate by the community guidelines. If you feel the site should be linked from articles like Sticker art, please ask on the talk page ( talk:Sticker_art ). Read more about external links at Wikipedia:External links. Adding a link to the top of the list of links will rarely be well-received. Try contributing to one of these articles with something other than a reference to Bombit (!)
