Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 23:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Our dissent over Christie Brinkley's entry

Hello,

I'd like to ask to you to read Etiquette, especially How to avoid abuse of talk pages.

I feel you are not aware of some of the principles mentioned there. For example, if you were assuming good faith you wouldn't accuse me of "racial bias".

Regards, -Robby.is.on (talk) 20:47, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I very much appreciate the tone of your latest reply on the Talk page there! :) -Robby.is.on (talk) 00:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:BackCoverM.Gross-copy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:BackCoverM.Gross-copy.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Christie Brinkley COI

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Christie Brinkley, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

Just to add: From your posts on the talk page, I understand you feel somewhat slighted by lack of recognition, but keep in mind that a Wikipedia article is not the place to resolve this. Continuing to push your claims for your own benefit is only going to be construed as disruptive editing. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 20:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

January 2009

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Christie Brinkley, you will be blocked from editing.

The portion you removed was cited and valid. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 15:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mr or Ms Mbinebri, obviously you are intoxicated with seemingly misplaced notions of Power regarding Ms Brinkley and Errol Sawyer at the expense of objective facts which could be easily verified if either you and/or your agents had not removed all references to them from this Talk page.

WHERE, may I ask, are the links to the author Michael Gross and his book Model which were here...

Who gave you the Right to accuse me of Vandalism after I provided links to Mr Gross's book containing direct quotes from Ms Brinkley and her agent at the time, Mr John Casablancas...

Why did you visit my own Wiki page and leave a WARNING template claiming it' Reads like a promotional piece' while avoiding any mention of the tone of many other Wiki articles, ie., Christie Brinkley's...

Excuse me, but, I must leave this for now as I have other obligations.

Back shortly.--Efsawyer (talk) 12:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's highly unfortunate that you're more interested in making insinuations and insults than understanding the policies of Wikipedia. If it was the other way around, we'd all be focusing on more constructive things than this. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 17:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see this notice at WP:BLPN; you may wish to comment there. -- Hoary (talk) 02:53, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
