Madonna

Hi, welcome on board. I've reverted your edit to Madonna (entertainer) because the source you used is not considered reliable per our guidelines. Since this is a featured article and an article about a living person, we must strive to use only the best quality sources. For detailed information about reliable sources, you can review Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources; in a nutshell, reliable sources are those that can be demonstrated to be considered authoritative by other experts, that have a demonstrated editorial/fact-checking process, and so on. The web site you used appears to be a self-published web source with no indication of reliability. I also noticed that your username suggests that you are connected with the web site. If this is your web site, you may be able to provide some evidence of its reliability. An example would be links to mainstream published news stories (newspapers, magazines, etc.) that refer to your web site as authoritative. --Laser brain (talk) 17:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michigan site

Please stop adding links to this site to Wikipedia. It appears to belong to you, making this a conflict of interest, and there is no sign of third-party coverage, meaning that it is not suitable content for Wikipedia.—Kww(talk) 18:14, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest being very cautious or your site will be blacklisted. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 19:24, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that there is some third-party coverage of the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends awards. See http://www.nilesstar.com/2012/06/05/sixth-generation-returning/, http://www.dowagiacnews.com/2011/07/17/this-is-their-time-again/, and http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2009/05/west_michigan_bands_vie_for_st.html so the site should not be blacklisted — Peter Loader (talk) 14:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for guidance about what you can and cannot do, and why — Peter Loader (talk) 10:05, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
