Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Savv Fabb (Saverio Fabbri) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Savv Fabb (Saverio Fabbri) 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xF9JNCcjOo) 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) 09:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, WatercolorC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:46, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:46, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please don't remove speedy deletion tags from a page you have created yourself, but if you believe you have good reasons to think the speedy deletion nomination was mistaken then explain why on the relevant talk page. This applies whether or not you are logged in to the account you used to create the page. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:46, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Articles on non-notable subjects

edit

I see that at Talk:Savv Fabb (Saverio Fabbri) you mentioned that there are numerous articles on subjects which are not at all notable. You are perfectly right, and administrators spend a good deal of time dealing with them. However, nothing can be done unless they come to an administrator's attention, and since the number of administrators is a tiny fraction of the number of ordinary editors, in the substantial majority of cases the unsuitable articles are first noticed by editors who are not administrators. Only if those editors bring the unsuitable articles to the attention of administrators can they be dealt with, so if you would like to mention specific articles of this type that you have seen, that will be helpful.

Speedy deletion nomination of Saverio Fabbri (SavvFabb)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Saverio Fabbri (SavvFabb) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Saverio Fabbri (SavvFabb), to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Recreating the article so soon after it was deleted (even if you've swapped the name & nickname around) isn't a fruitful use of anybody's time. Cabayi (talk) 14:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you create an inappropriate page. Switching to a different title for the article does not somehow make the reasons for deletion of earlier versions invalid. Also, you are likely to be blocked if you remove a speedy deletion tag from an article you have created: You have been warned about that on more than one talk page, but have continued to do it. Please don't make the mistake that some editors make of thinking that not logging into your account when you remove the speedy deletion tag somehow makes one immune from being blocked.
