Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Atreyu (band) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Atreyu (band) 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.facebook.com/Atreyu, http://www.facebook.com/Atreyu) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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) 16:09, 3 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Joseph Mercola. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 00:21, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I was actually trying to move it away from an editorial style to a neutral point of view. But I appreciate the point you were attempting to make and your opinion on the topic. Thank you! Cheers. B Stealthmouse (talk) 01:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

I'm a professional editor. But you do you. Stealthmouse (talk) 21:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please make sure you disclose who is paying you, and the articles you are being paid to edit, in according with WP:Paid-contribution disclosure. —C.Fred (talk) 19:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Those are quite a few assumptions. Perhaps you could start with a question rather than a directive. Then you would have your answer and know that I have nothing to disclose.
Cheers.

So, then, you are not a professional editor, i.e., you are not paid to edit Wikipedia? —C.Fred (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am a professional editor; i.e., I am paid to edit the written work of others. However, I am not paid to edit anything on Wikipedia. The two states are not necessarily correlated. Stealthmouse (talk) 23:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
