December 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Nick Perri has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/nickperri (matching the regex rule \bmyspace\.com).
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) 23:23, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

First off, I don't "keep adding it", I've added it back once, and that's because you keep removing it without explanation in the edit summary, and haven't contributed to the discussion about this on the discussion page. Secondly, management firm or not, that doesn't give you authority on whether or not it should go on their wikipedia page. If people can find a reliable source, there's no reason not to have it on there, a different original lead singer is definitely notable. Sergecross73 msg me 13:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the link was there when I added it, but now is down. But you really should put something in your edit summaries. You know, say what you said on my talk page, but when you make the actual edit. Sergecross73 msg me 03:13, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

So I can't help but think that you, as "band management", is doing something to get rid of these sources. Is this true? Sergecross73 msg me 20:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

FYI Conflict of interest guidelines

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Hairhorn (talk) 15:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sinai (band)

The article Sinai (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable band. The article was created by an account that acknowledges he's the band's manager. Only one semi-reliable website can be found, apart from their own, that gives information about them, and the information is scant and out of date.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 23:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I saw you remove the prod tag when you made your other edits, but it's not clear whether this was intentional. Are you contesting the article's deletion? SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 03:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Sinai (band)

Please don't nominate pages for speedy deletion when there are acceptable versions to revert to (and in this case I don't see the need for reverts at all). And please don't blank talk pages for entries just becase you don't like what's there. Thanks. Hairhorn (talk) 13:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Hairhorn, but I created this page (big mistake) and it has been overrun by people "claiming to know" the facts which are distorted, twisted, and in some case just plain wrong. In order to protect the integrity of the band, I am nominating it for speedy deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesummer (talk • contribs)

Ah, this is a clear case of Wikipedia's Law of Unintended Consequences. Creating an article doesn't bestow the right to control its content. In fact just the opposite is true, by creating an entry you invite others to contribute. Hairhorn (talk) 20:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi George, you were the one who removed the speedy deletion (prod) tag here. Are you saying you would like it to be restored? SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 13:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I am indeed. If the facts are not going to be laid out properly, and this page is just becoming a battleground for egos, yes, I'd rather see it go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesummer (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia isn't advertising space. What we try to do is construct articles out of independent sources, and we don't published unsourced material. The material you're trying to remove has been independently published, so we publish it too, but the problem is that hardly anything has been published about this band, so we have to use whatever is out there. The best thing is not to create or edit articles about issues you have close personal involvement in. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

Anyway, I've restored the original prod rationale that you removed. If no one objects within I think it's seven days, the page can be deleted. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 14:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

George, please stop editing the article. If you want to make suggestions, do so on the talk page. Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 14:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Also, you don't have any more of a "right" to anything about the article than anyone else. The fact that you created the article doesn't mean anything, and the fact that you manage them, actually creates a conflict of interest, as you've been instructed above. I think you seem to have wikipedia mistakenly mixed in with band fansites/myspaces/facebooks/twitters etc.

That being said, I don't think I'd challenge the fact that it needs to be deleted, just letting you know for the future... Sergecross73 msg me 18:28, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

COI

You claim in editing Nick Perri that you are not working for him and having no "direct ties". But you;

• Uploaded a photo from his official facebook page
• Claiming to have rights to it.
• Because the photographer "granted us rights to use the photo where ever we wanted".

Who is "we"? While you may have rights to use the photo, that is not the same as licensing it under cc so that it may appear on Wikipeda. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 23:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

• You made it pretty clear here that you have a direct connection to this artist. Hairhorn (talk) 00:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
• (edit conflict) (I'm referring to the same thing Hairhorn is.) Furthermore, in the past you claimed you managed/had connections to SINAI, a band Perri played in. As such, don't remove the WP:COI tag from his page. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 00:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Nick Perri

Since you have a conflict of interest on this page, please don't take the initiative yourself to remove the conflict of interest tag. If this isn't clear to you, please have a look at WP:COI. Hairhorn (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Multiple accounts

Per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Georgesummer, it has been shown that you have used an undeclared alternate account to make edits to Nick Perri and Talk:Nick Perri. While operating multiple accounts is not forbidden, operating them in this manner is a violation of policy, and as such, your alternate account has been blocked. I have decided to not block your main account at this time, but further editing in violation of the conflict of interest guideline, the sockpuppetry policy or other policies or guidelines mentioned above on this page will likely result in the loss of your editing privileges.
