Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Alfred Webre has been reverted. Your edit here to Alfred Webre 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.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHAh-eTUtY) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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) 02:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Alfred Webre
Even if that page is not deleted (which seems possible; there may be just enough for notability), you cannot turn the page into a list of every single trivial thing Webre has done. A good rule of thumb is this: if a reliable source didn't talk about it, don't include it. So don't post a bunch of different things Webre has said on his blog. Don't source anything to a youtube/google video: the only time such videos are allowed as sources is if they are published by a reliable source (like CNN, ABC, etc.), and are hosted only on that source's own channel--i.e., no screencaptures, no re-uploads, etc. (because those violate copryight). And you cannot try to list every single radio show, podcast, etc. that Webre has been on. We are trying to create an encyclopedia article, not serve as a second homepage for Webre.

Legal threats
Please note that your edit summary in this edit implies a legal threat against another user. Legal threats are explicitly forbidden per WP:NLT. If you make such a statement again, you will be blocked. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:12, 16 April 2012 (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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry this took me so long to notice--I just saw now that your username is the same as Webre's website save one character. As stated above, we don't allow usernames like that. Note that you can be unblocked, but 1) you have to provide a new username completely unconnected with Webre or real-world organizations, and 2) agree to stop trying to promote Webre (or anyone else) here on Wikipedia. Your edits thus far have been to add all sorts of links to Webre's site, to shows/podcasts he's appeared on, and to generally promote Webre. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
