September 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Aca Joe has been reverted.
Your edit here to Aca Joe 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.facebook.com/acajoe1972) 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) 20:26, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

October 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 99.12.242.170 (talk) 19:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. 99.12.242.170 (talk) 19:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 99.12.242.170 (talk) 20:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you're intent on deleting sourced material, some of which is perhaps not to your liking, and replacing it with an unsourced and more promotional version. Perhaps there's conflict of interest here? 99.12.242.170 (talk) 20:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 99.12.242.170 (talk) 20:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You also appear to be copying content directly from the company's Facebook page, [1]. 99.12.242.170 (talk) 20:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You've made no attempt to correct any mistakes in the article by adding sourced content; instead you continue to replace what's there with promotional copyright violation. This has been explained multiple times; next time I'll ask for administrative action. Thank you, 99.12.242.170 (talk) 20:14, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jballmann. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, 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 you, your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- MelbourneStar☆ ^{(talk to me)} 01:29, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

When the block expires, I encourage you to to correct the errors in the article without copying blatantly promotional text from Facebook. Wikipedia is not a social networking site. We're an encyclopedia, where content must be written from a neutral point of view and must be sourced. In the meantime, I suggest you read up on our policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here and I'll answer them. If you're completely confident that you can edit constructively, you may submit an unblock request, but do not do so unless you've familiarized yourself with our content and behavioral standards.
