October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Engine (Boogie-Rock band) 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/thejalapenosrock// (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) 16:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Engine (boogie-rock band)

The article Engine (boogie-rock band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Engine (boogie-rock band)

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Muchness (talk) 09:51, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Engine (boogie-rock band)

I have closed the AfD debate on this article, which has been relisted three times and has now been dragging on for four weeks rather than the usual one, and moved the article to the WP:Article Incubator where you will be able to work on it without so much pressure. You will find it at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Engine (boogie-rock band).

Understanding the debate was complicated for me by the fact that you often edit while not logged in, so that your edits come from IP addresses, 91.74.145.65 and 91.74.145.79 and maybe others, and you do not always sign your contributions. Editing both from a user account and from an IP address is discouraged, because people sometimes do it to give the impression of extra support for a position - see WP:Sockpuppetry. I am sure that was not your intention, but it would help if you:

always log in before editing, and
sign your contributions on talk pages (but not articles) by ending them with four "tilde" characters ~~~~ which the system will turn into a signature with your username and the time and date.

Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:13, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As requested, I have made some more (I hope, final!) amendments to the article in the incubator: 'Engine (boogie-rock band)'. These edits are mainly: three external links added, including the band's Myspace, Flickr and Musicmight sites, and some minor spelling corrections. Thankyou for any additional edits, and for all advice received during my first Wikipedia project, throughout the preceding weeks. Could you please let me know if I am permitted to re-submit the material about the band's releases, which I had previously posted in pages linked to the main article? :Many thanks, YT

Yehia.tawfik (talk) 05:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have "graduated" the main Engine (boogie-rock band) article from the Incubator back to the main encyclopedia. The four others are still in the Incubator, and I shall not have time to look at them today. Have a look at WP:NALBUMS, particularly the second paragraph - what we need to decide is whether there is enough to say about these to justify an independent article, or whether they should be covered in the main article and these titles be simply redirects, so that someone who searches on that title and clicks on it is taken to the main article.

Articles for deletion nomination of Well Oiled (album)

I have nominated Well Oiled (album), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Well Oiled (album). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Muchness (talk) 06:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

File permission problem with File:Engine - Press Release (c.1989).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Engine - Press Release (c.1989).jpg, which you've attributed to Gonzo Tyler. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —innotata 18:38, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.
