User talk:Chaukebbilly

June 2014
Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. Unfortunately, there seem to be some problems with the page User:Chaukebbilly/Ralf Llouren. Most importantly, it is largely a copy of content to be seen at http://www.reverbnation.com/ralfllouren and http://www.reverbnation.com/artist_3101078/bio, suggesting that it may be an infringement of copyright. Any page which contains copyright-infringing content may be deleted at any time. Even if you are the owner of the copyright, you need to make it explicitly clear that you are licensing the content under terms which are compatible with Wikipedia's terms of use, which means that you give permission for the text to be reused, wither as it is or edited, by anyone in the world, for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Few people are willing to license personal content from their web pages under such free and open terms. Also, since anyone can create a Wikipedia account and claim to be anyone, we can't assume that you own the copyright without evidence. I could give you information on how to release copyright, but I think it is fairer to you to let you know that I think doing so would probably be a waste of your time. Neither what you say in the page you have written nor what I have found suggests that Ralf Llouren (yourself?) satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards, and if not, any article on the subject is likely to be deleted. It is a common mistake to think that "anyone can edit Wikipedia" means "anyone can edit Wikipedia on any subject they like", but in fact Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about anything, and it is necessary for the subject of an article to satisfy certain notability guidelines. You are, of course, very welcome to edit Wikipedia on other subjects, but if your only interest is in publishing a page about Ralf Llouren, then I think you would be better off doing so on another site, as doing so on Wikipedia is not likely to succeed.
