July 2017

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 Radice has been reverted.
Your edit here to Mark Radice 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://store.cdbaby.com/cd/markradice4, https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/markradice3) 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) 02:49, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

Hello, I'm David Tornheim. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Mark Radice— has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:22, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Aerosmith, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Wow! You were a member of Aerosmith and no one acknowledges it? I understand your suffering. I've won five Pulitzers, named a living saint and for 3 years in the late 1980s I single handedly ran UNICEF. Unfortunately, until independent reliable sources recognize our immeasurable contributions to the world, Wikipedia has nothing to say about us. SummerPhD^v2.0 03:13, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, MRadice. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Mark Radice, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. - SummerPhD^v2.0 03:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, MRadice, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:

Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:21, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

If you don't already know, you should sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~) to insert your username and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About autobiographies

Hello MRadice, and welcome to Wikipedia.

We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you have directly edited a Wikipedia article about yourself. Doing so is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page, Talk:Mark Radice, and clicking the link "request corrections on or suggest content". Please note that you do not own the article and you have a strong conflict of interest.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Added your image to the article.

I saw that you'd uploaded a photo of yourself (with a public domain dedication - nice!), and for some reason it never made it into the article. I've gone ahead and added it. Cheers! jp×g 07:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JP !! (MR)
