November 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page DEFCON has been reverted. Your edit here to DEFCON 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://www.myspace.com/def84con) 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) 12:58, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello Def Con. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article DEFCON, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 13:05, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Defcon (disambiguation) 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 article's talk page before reinserting it.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Def Con. 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. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. 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.

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Sea photo Talk 01:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Def Con. Sea photo Talk 01:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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, please see how to appeal a block. The Bushranger One ping only 01:47, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Def Con


A tag has been placed on User:Def Con, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Please Read: What is Wikipedia?
Hi Def Con, welcome to Wikipedia!

The main goal of the Wikipedia project is to create an encyclopedia. As in any encyclopedia, articles must be written from a neutral point of view. Your edits on DEFCON, Def Con, and Defcon (disambiguation) constituted a conflict of interest because you were writing about a subject that was directly or closely related to you. Although Wikipedia encourages artists to contribute to its coverage of general pop culture, Wikipedia is not to be used for advertising or self-promotion.

There are a number of criteria that must be met in order for a subject to be suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia: no original research, notability, and neutral point of view.

No original research
All material written in Wikipedia should be supported by reliable, published sources through the addition of citations. Self-published sources such as personal websites or fan pages are not acceptable.

Notability
A subject must have received sufficient coverage from secondary sources (e.g. newspapers, magazines, entertainment websites, critic reviews, ...) to warrant its own a Wikipedia article. Primary sources generally cannot be used to justify notability.

Neutral point of view
An encyclopedia must not be biased. Wikipedia articles aim to be informative and neutral so that readers can make up their own minds. Articles must be free of endorsements toward any particular individual or organization.

Three-revert rule
In addition, Wikipedia has a three-revert rule. One cannot undo other editors' contributions more than 3 times on a single page within a 24-hour period. Making too many hasty reverts may result in blocking. If you disagree with the actions of other editors, start a discussion on the article's talk page.

Please stay...
I hope that you consider staying as a Wikipedia editor. Please familiarize yourself with the principles mentioned above. Once you have understood the purpose of Wikipedia, you may appeal your block to continue contributing to Wikipedia. If you need help, place a helpme tag on this page and someone will come by to assist you. Jusses2 (talk) 05:24, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
