User talk:Oseymour

Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you didn't have a welcome message yet. The welcome message has some links that you may find useful.

If you want, you can drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself. Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia.

Looking at your contribution history, it appears that you added link spam to Public Land Survey System. Only external links that are sources for the article or that are helpful to the reader wishing to know more about the article topic should be added to the External links section. STAKE YOUR CLAIM TO A FREE PIECE OF LAND IN ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES does not fit into either category, in my opinion and I removed it. [1]]

Your other contribution, Own a piece of america, violates WP:NOT, "Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style." Also, it may violate "Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" companies are not likely to be acceptable." Finally, it may not be about a notable topic. See WP:N. As it is currently written, it is likely to be tagged for deletion before long. That said, contributions you make that are consistent with Wikipedia policies are very welcome, and I hope you continue to contribute.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp. No personal attacks and assume good faith can help you work with other editors.

If you have other questions about the project, check out Wikipedia:Help, or add a question to the Help desk. You can also leave me a question on my talk page. Happy editing, Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Own a piece of america

Thank you for improving Own a piece of america. If I may, I would like to offer another suggestion. You might find the guide to layout helpful in making your article look more like a Wikipedia article. Also, thank you for removing the link spam from Homestead Act. Once you think your article is ready for wider viewership, you can add it to one or more relevant categories (see WP:CAT). That will help readers locate it. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:13, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Opalogo.gif)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Opalogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 17:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —Khoi khoi 06:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Khoi khoi 07:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
