Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Carver (automobile) has been reverted. Your edit here to Carver (automobile) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://wikicars.org/en/Vandenbrink) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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) 12:05, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Carver-One-Titling-LightsOn-Dust.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Carver-One-Titling-LightsOn-Dust.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

January 2017
There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion of Carver One Owners Club, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  07:14, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in WikiProject Automobiles and WikiProject Motorcycling
Once you overcome any problems with the username policy, there are lots of opportunities to contribute, at WikiProject Automobiles and WikiProject Motorcycling, and any other topic. It's fine to work on articles about subjects you are interested in, but you have to find a way to do so objectively, from a certain distance, so that you strive for neutrality. If the only thing you're doing is promoting your favorite car or your hobby, it's easy for readers to tell, and they won't take articles like that seriously, even if you get it past the many editors who work to keep promotional content out of Wikipedia.Still confused? If you post questions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorcycling, you'll find lots of editors who will offer guidance. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:04, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
