February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tony Sciuto has been reverted.
Your edit here to Tony Sciuto 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EU2EIG5EkQ, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taabwS0LQ20, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LvI3jhf2t0) 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) 16:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tony Sciuto. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:13, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your article

Hi Tony, I have spent some time putting your article into standard Wikipedia format. I hope I did not remove anything you consider important. I am an experienced Wikipedia editor (and a big fan of LRB) so I think your article is long overdue. I am very happy to work with you to keep improving the article, and to save it from deletion. Regards, WWGB (talk) 06:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
PS "WWGB" is short for Wrong Way Go Back. As Glenn Shorrock says: "thank goodness we saw a road sign to Little River, if we used the next sign, we would be called Wrong Way Go Back".

WWGB,

Thank you for your help! I love the changes! I miss Glenn and when he was 'let go' is when I decided I couldn't go much longer without the man with the 'Golden Voice'! I surely hope my page doesn't get deleted. What else can I do to keep it up? Tshooto 14:30, 22 February 2012 (UTC) (Tony)

I've withdrawn my AfD nomination of the article; WWGB was able to provide a convincing pass of WP:BAND. The discussion should be closed and archived shortly. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Yunshui and please thank WWGB for me! It will be an honor to be a part of the Wikipedia Encyclopedia!Tshooto 14:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC) (Tony)

WWGB/Yunshui, How do I get a photo into my info box? Also, WWGB: If you'd like to give me your email, I could send you some rare unreleased LRB.Tshooto 04:08, 24 February 2012 (UTC) (Tony)

Hi Tony. First up, you need to upload a photo. The most important thing is that it's available under a free license - you will need to make sure that either the photographer has released the picture under an appropriate Creative Commons license or similar, or that it's squarely in the public domain. Assuming you have access to such a photo, the most sensible thing to do is to add it to is to add it to Wikimedia Commons; this link will take you to their Upload Wizard, which is really straightforward to use. Alternatively, you can upload to Wikipedia by filling out this form.

Once the file is uploaded, you can use it to your article by adding the following text:

[[File:nameofyourfile.png|thumb|alt=descriptionofimage|caption]]

Replace "nameofyourfile" with the name you saved your file under (and change the .png to .jpg or whatever file extension is appropriate), replace "descriptionofimage" with a brief description of the image (this will only be visible if someone mouse-hovers over the image), and replace "caption" with - you got it - a caption. Helpfully, using the Commons uploader will automatically create the above text string for you, so you can just copy and paste.

To place the photo in the infobox, add the two lines:

| image = nameofyourfile.png | caption = caption

to the box, substituting the text as above. The {{infobox}} template will take care of the formatting for you.

Hope that helps; more thorough instructions can be found at the style guidelines for pictures and the picture tutorial. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Yunshui!!Tshooto 14:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC) Tony
