Kbigdawg1

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 13:49, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Garnet jex

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Garnet jex, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.fada.com/browse_by_artist.html?gallery_no=10&artist=4217&bio=1. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 04:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyright status of Garnet jex

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Garnet jex. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.fada.com/browse_by_artist.html?gallery_no=10&artist=4217&bio=1 in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Garnet jex with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Garnet jex with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. Blair - Speak to me 04:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Charmadoah

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Charmadoah, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notability of Garnet Jex

A tag has been placed on Garnet Jex requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Drake Jensen

The article Drake Jensen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:MUSICBIO due to having only one, independent label album that didn't not chart. Unable to find any reliable, independent references that talk about him outside of him announcing he is gay. There needs to be references (no interviews, blogs, facebook) that talk about him and his music.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

December 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Royal Vendors. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Widefox; talk 16:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kbigdawg1, two articles without sources. To prevent risking speedy deletion in future, you may want to use WP:AfC, where there's support on sourcing. Also, can you clear-up my query - the image [1] has copyright "Own work", I'm no copyright expert but does that mean you have a connection with the company? Regards Widefox; talk 16:07, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Widefox, I am the technical writer and graphic illustrator for Royal Vendors, the company in question. Kbigdawg1 (talk) 18:56, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Kbigdawg1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Royal Vendors, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Widefox; talk 22:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

...then you need to carefully read the above - you have not disclosed any COI until now. You must abide by the WP:TOU, which if you are paid to edit here, you must disclose your employer etc. On which other articles do you have a COI? which other accounts have them with these articles? Widefox; talk 22:53, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I am not, and never have been, paid or directed to edit this page or that of its parent company, Coin Acceptors. I was unaware of this COI policy, but I have no COI with any other articles here. I will not be editing entries for Royal Vendors or Coin Acceptors any further. Kbigdawg1 (talk) 23:12, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

OK thanks for replying to this disclosure request, feel free to ask me or others for assistance to complete per instructions at WP:DISCLOSE. I may have started them for you. Widefox; talk 23:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
