Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jujutsu techniques has been reverted.
Your edit here to Jujutsu techniques 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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkZYzFtwMuk) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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) 22:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Profitlink Inc.

Hello Emery80,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Profitlink Inc. for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks,

- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 14:43, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Profitlink Inc.

You moved this to "User:Profitlink Inc." That would be the user page for an account called "Profitlink Inc."; there is no such account, and could not be because Wikipedia accounts are for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and company or group accounts are not permitted.

I guess what you meant to do was move it out of the main encyclopedia to somewhere where you could work on it, so I have put it at User:Emery80/Profitlink Inc..

Please note that Wikipedia is not a business listing directory but an encyclopedia, and so is selective about subjects for articles. The criterion used is called Wikipedia:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:Notability (summary) for how this is interpreted.

There is more information at the WP:FAQ/Organizations and WP:Notability (organizations and companies).

Since you are connected with the company you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest in writing about it. Editing with a COI is not absolutely prohibited, but it is strongly discouraged, because one of Wikipedia's fundamental policies is WP:Neutral point of view, and it is hard for people closely connected with a subject to remain neutral. If you want to proceed, you should read WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and take extreme care to put out of your mind any idea that you are writing for the company: you are writing for Wikipedia about the company. Anything that reads like promotion or PR-speak will be speedily delete. Do not, for instance, make claims like "Don’s background working with owners and management teams to generate improvements in all areas of the business has led to consistent profitability and business expansion" unless you can cite an independent reliable source that says so.

Because of your COI, you should not post the article directly: there is a link "Submit the page" in the box at the top which will send it to WP:Articles for creation where an experienced user will check it and either accept it or give you feedback.

In regard to articles about other firms, see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists; we know that regrettably many of Wikipedia's 4 million articles are substandard, but that is not a reason for admitting more, and each article is considered on its own merits.

Removing AfD template

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Dong Jin Kim. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot  t • c »  02:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Hello, I'm Velella. I noticed that you recently removed some content from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks,  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   13:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   13:27, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Vella I reverted the changes. I had originally put photos in that are no longer available and now they are dead links. I put that in the explanation section this go around. Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation. Using edit summaries helps other editors a great deal who are keeping tabs on vandal edits.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   14:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

It varies. Lot's of comments it lasts longer, few comments it get's relisted. In this case I would think not much longer. You can see that one half of the related AfDs reached conclusion - I see no reason for this one to go much longer.Peter Rehse (talk) 20:58, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

What did I say. As it stands now I think it is worth keeping but I do know that some may still think it is borderline. I would make a point of checking back every couple of weeks - maybe working on it here and there or even better other parts of Wikipedia. Cheers.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Peter, I added a couple more secondary sources. One book and on journal article. Thanks!Emery80 (talk) 02:21, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
