Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Shaquille O'Neal, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mwelch 20:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

editWikipedia gets spammed countless times a day. Wikipedia editors simply don't have the time to explore why a link was added. If it looks like spamming, then we remove it. When a person continually readds the link without explaining why, then it becomes hard to believe that the link is justified. The solution is communication. We reverted those edits 4 days ago. In between each of your edits, you didn't once try to communicate with us. I realize you are new to Wikipedia and there are a lot of rules to get use to, but that's the solution, communication. Bring it up on your talk page, my talk page, anyone else who has reverted your edits talk page or the talk page for the article. Explain your reasoning as you did to me. Please just don't ignore us and continue adding the link. In a situation such as this, the burden of proof is on the person trying to add the new link, not the people removing the link.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way. Let's take a look at the external link guideline. Specifically, point number 11 (a website you maintain) is of specific interest (note, the numbers have been changing lately as people have been editing it). The guideline is that if your site provides an exceptional resource, then someone will come along and add it. If you feel that it should be in the article and someone hasn't done that yet, bring it up on a talk page. If you feel that other links should be removed, discuss it on the talk page and/or use an edit summary. Anyway, bring this up on Talk:Shaquille O'Neal. Thank you for dropping me a message to explain your position. It truly is appreciated. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Image permission problem with Image:Jockreportlogo.gif
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Jockreportlogo.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
