February 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mark Reale has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/markreale (matching the regex rule \bmyspace\.com).
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) 00:02, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Mark Reale do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

{{helpme}} How come I see many pages with "External links" like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jarzombek http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Bach http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halford_(band)

and many others. I am trying to do that same thing with Mark Reale but it keeps deleting them???? WHY?

Because MySpace and Facebook are unreliable sources under WP:RS. Please provide reliable sources to the article. Thanks! Samwb123^{Please read} 02:36, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because you are a new user and the robot thinks you are adding spam. In any case, just only add facebook or myspace if necessary. See WP:EL for details. fetchcomms☛ 02:55, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add a photo that I took myself, can someone tell me if this is ok to post and how would I go about posting this image?

It is fine as long as you license the image freely (not copyrighted, that is). Go to Special:Upload, and pick the right link (your own work) and fill out the form. fetchcomms☛ 04:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Modifications to Riot V

Hi, I've noticed you've been removing content from Riot V without discussion or reasons posted in your edit summary. I'd like to discuss these changes on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Riot_V talk page. Not only are they controversial, they withhold cited and relevant information from the article. (I did not add this information, to be clear.) Whether a late band member approves of a change of name of the band doesn't matter in terms of whether an article should have content related to the current band or not. Thanks, Vortiene (talk) 06:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't add information, to be clear as well. I post facts! Look at my facts at the talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Riot_V

Edit warring at Riot V

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Riot V. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
