Welcome!
editHello, Technodudes, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Photo booth has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Problems with edits to Photo booth article
editHi. I see you have reverted my edits to the Photo booth article. I don't know if you read the edit summary I provided ([1]) but the problems were that a) your edits added unsourced material that also added an increasingly promotional tone to the article, and b) they removed the "Purikura" heading which was used as a target for redirects from Purikura, but which now does not function correctly. I would strongly urge you to read through the Wikipedia guidelines at Wikipedia: Verifiability and also WP:NOTADVERTISING, as repeatedly adding unsourced or promotional material to articles can lead to losing one's editing privileges. Please feel free to drop me a line here or on my Talk page if you need any help. --DAJF (talk) 12:13, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Also, please remember to sign your comments (by adding four tildes ~~~~), and try not to shout in ALL CAPS. --DAJF (talk) 12:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Technodudes and DAJF: Hi Technodudes and DAJF, I recently added to the talk page of the photo booth article. I recommend checking it out and updating yourself on the situation. Also as I am fairly new, and feel like more experience is needed in trying to fix the photo booth article.

editPlease do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to People counter, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 12:49, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
Possible Copyright violations
editHi, please stop adding back the edit that contains text copied direct from other websites, Wikipedia takes Wikipedia:Copyright violations seriously. Your revert on Digital signage appear to have added back large amounts of text from http://www.corex.co.za/corex/solution/digital-signage.html (report). Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi again, I've just been looking more at this more and the content on Wikipedia existed before the first time the corex.co.za content was grabbed by the wayback machine (here) - so its not clear which copied which. As you noted on the Talk:Digital signage the content is in need of "Major revisions". One thing that needs sorting is you added is a ref to a local file here - people can't access your local drive. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 11:36, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
