September 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Sherman Robertson 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/shermanrobertsonband, http://www.myspace.com/shermanrobertsonband.
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) 14:56, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Sherman Robertson

Your recent edits have been reverted (not for the first time). Please do not add inappropriate external links to sites such as MySpace and YouTube. Also internal links need to be made to the correct articles, not in a random, carefree manner. Please read Wikipedia:Linking before editing further. You are also reminded that this is an encyclopedia, not a website to be used for promotional purposes. Thank you,

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

24hour block for edit warring at Sherman Robertson. You may wish to take the time afforded by this suspension of editing privileges to read the pages linked (blue text) in the welcome message. However, using the revert button - rather than retyping the content - indicates some familiarity with WP practice, and thus you should already be aware of WP:3RR being a bright line and not a license. Please amend your editing stance upon expiry of the sanction. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

You have now been blocked for 72 hours. You have been advised that your editing should be to the same encyclopedic standard and practices as other music biographies, yet you revert or edit to a promotional viewpoint. Your version of the article looks like an advert, or a fanzine page. Please review articles on other similar subjects (Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray, etc.) and note the tone and layout. This is the style you should be aiming for. This block expires in 3 days, in which time you should have learnt and understood the type of article appropriate for this encyclopedia. If, however, you do not indicate that you are prepared to comply with Wikipedia's editing practices and standards it is likely your editing privileges will be indefinitely suspended.
