Welcome and introduction

edit

Hi, IDOFEB. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  03:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

 
ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Emo 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.youtube.com/results?search_query=emo&aq=f. 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
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) 00:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Emo do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Emo, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. If your article submissions are rejected at WP:AFC, that does not mean that you can simply stick the material into an existing article, like you did at Emo. Your submission has been thrice rejected at AFC because there are serious problems with the quality of the sources and the level of synthesis in the text. If you continue to simply copy and paste the rejected text into the Emo article, as you have now done twice, I will have to report your behavior. I suggest that you instead place the text in a user subpage at User:IDOFEB/Emo on the internet and then request a peer review to get feedback on what needs to be improved in order for the text to meet Wikipedia's standards. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Talk:Emo On the internet, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. There is no article Emo On the internet, and there should not be a talk page for it.

IDOFEB, please stop submitting your text on "Emo forum" / "Emo on the internet" to Wikipedia:Articles for creation: It has been rejected 4 times, yet you keep submitting it without making substantial changes to address the problems of original research and bad sourcing that are noted by the reviewers. The solution is not to continually resubmit it; it will simply keep being rejected. It is also not appropriate to try to sneak the text in somewhere else, such as in the emo article or on a talk page in article space (as you did with Talk:Emo On the internet). Again, if you genuinely think that this is an appropriate topic for Wikipedia (and I of course assume good faith on your part), I highly recommend that you place the text in a user subpage at User:IDOFEB/Emo on the internet. There you may work on it at your leisure, removing the original research and adding higher-caliber sources (for advice on sources see WP:RS). When you feel it is ready for another review, you may request a peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review; experienced editors will review the text and offer suggestions for improvement. --IllaZilla (talk) 13:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Electra cat.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Electra cat.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:03, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Original Research

edit

Hi there.

I saw you asking about your declined article in the live-help channel; unfortunately, I was not around at the time, but I saw it a bit later.

The problem with it is, that it contains your own research; the encyclopaedia only publishes things that have already been published elsewhere; we do not do original research.

All the facts in Wikipedia articles need to come from reliable sources. Yes, you did 'cite' the BBC, but that reference only shows that the BBC have mentioned emo forums - it does not prove any of the facts that you wrote. Notice that the actual news article "Rock cult or nice kids that do their homework? makes no mention of "emo Forum", and that is the subject here.

So, I'm sorry, but Wikipedia just isn't the place for that type of research; for Wikipedia articles, you need to simply state facts that are already said elsewhere.

Of course, some other websites encourage original research - such as Wikinews.

Again, sorry I cannot help to 'fix it', but I hope this explains things a little more. Best,  Chzz  ►  11:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Alonzo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Alonzo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 08:24, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
