I deleted the article about the band, along with the picture, but please talk to me about contributin to Wikipedia in a constructive fashion. - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure. It was copyrighted text you pasted in from three different websites. Wikipedia does not permit copyrighted materials, this is a very strict rule, WP:C. Feel free to write the article from scratch in your own words, if the band is important enough per criteria contained in WP:MUSIC. Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, you reposted with the full text of the lollipop article. Stop. Just write an article. Start: "Riddle of Steel is a band from whatever, New Jersey. Members are A, B, C, and D......" etc. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And you did not create their album covers! LOL. We'll fix it later. Write. See ya. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, well, promotion is not allowed here either. That could actually get you blocked. Are you here to promote your band - or to contribute to an encyclopedia? Are you planning to edit any more articles - or just the band? - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So your relationship to the band is what? - nothing? You're not their manager / mother of their children / whatever? Cuz you sure sound like you are. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, as the person who runs their label, you cannot promote them. This is vanity and cannot be tolerated. You may request that an article about them is created, and a disinterested user may make it later - it would have to be neutral, no praise. Sorry, but this is key and I, as an administrator, will enforce that. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

OK - I'll do it for you in the morning. Please also talk to me sometime about contributing to other area of Wikipedia - it's a great hobby and terrific website. See you around. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
