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 AF Foundation 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://twitter.com/AFFOUNDATION (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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) 15:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

Under the assumption that you would appeal the block above, we took note of your assertion of authorship of the copyrighted material added to the above article. Wikipedia is bound by strict copyright policies, and cannot accept third party content unless proper permission has been granted, this is best done by following the steps highlighted at WP:DCM. Until this is cleared, the article may not, in its present form, remain on display on Wikipedia.

As is also evidenced by the different maintenance boilerplate messages at the top of the article, please be aware that even if the copyright issue is resolved, the article still suffers from many issues which run afoul of our inclusion guidelines.

Provided the block you received doesn't discourage you, please do take some time and read through WP:FIRST, which explains what we are looking for in a Wikipedia articles, and do not hesitate to ask for assistance. I understand that the current situation has a cold shower effect, and this place has a steep learning curve. If you wish to return, you can ask for help by creating a new section here and adding {{helpme}} below it, and someone will be along to assist you. Regards, MLauba (talk) 18:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
