Hi. Could you please enlighten me as to how linking to an aggregation site such as that can be "fair use", in the light of WP:NFCC#2 & 8? That website claims copyright over its contents, and I doubt it has received clearance from CNN to freely use their copyrighted material. There should be a report of the interview somewhere which would avoid all the problems, and it is rarely appropriate to link to copyrighted rich media. Thanks.

NFCC applies to Content ON Wikipedia, not the content in External Links. External Links are explicitly for linking to copyrighted content. Besides from that, the linked page neither hosts nor publishes content. It is just a meta-compilation of video content on other sides. --Carter666 (talk) 11:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If that's the case and they are merely hosting links to existing media, why don't we link to the originals? In any case, the videos are primary sources, and I doubt we should be using them anyway. Rodhull  andemu  11:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is just more convenient for a news overview to be several videos under one link than having to place several links. Especially because you usually cannot watch more than one video in parallel. --Carter666 (talk) 12:02, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 for advertising or promotion. Since 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

 * Thank you for the information. I will provide my reasoning for the links in the Discussion area.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. —Zener 18:06, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I know about the nofollow attribute, so I don't see the point in placing spam. My intention is to make content accessible that provides a good addition to certain wikipedia articles. I think I have followed the mentioned rules, so I would be glad if you could advise me what I did wrong. --Carter666 (talk) 18:22, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well almost all edits from this account seem to be adding an external link to emtain.tv. If your intention is to improve the Wikipedia article then try to contribute cited textual content, not just external links to some video site; see Spam. —Zener 05:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. I will try to add cited textual content from now on. --Carter666 (talk) 14:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Carter666. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Carter666~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:54, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
