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.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://www.myspace.com/natebutler). 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 thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators 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).

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) 00:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Lawrence Fordyce
A tag has been placed on Lawrence Fordyce requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

I think this will be a good test. If you contest it, please do follow the "hang on" instructions. In the meantime, really work at finding third-party sources such as album reviews and interviews in mainstream sources to establish the subjects notability. -- Levine2112 discuss 21:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Lawrence_Fordyce.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lawrence_Fordyce.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MER-C 11:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lawrence Fordyce


The article Lawrence Fordyce has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The links do not support claims necessary to establish notability. Please

1) links do not produce the necessary verification of Notability. 2) Even if the subject of this article has worked with a celebrity, that doesn't prove notability 3) Notability, in this situation, is proven by submitting a charting recording at Billboard Mag, or through award nominations such as the Recording Academy Grammy. Another method is to submit an article/interview from reputable music magazine which gives support to any claims written at the article. Thanks and do not delete any templates.

Proposed deletion of Lawrence Fordyce


The article Lawrence Fordyce has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Every link only establishes that the subject has done some sort of remix which is unrecognized by the record label. The fact that he has remixed titles that charted in their original version does not give support for notability. There is no support anywhere for the claim that the subject had written or "produced" 150 titles that generated 38 Billboard hits. This is a clear attempt to use Wikipedia to publish unsubstantiated or false information at the very least. Let's delete this one real soon.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
