Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ayumu Matsuo has been reverted. Your edit here to Ayumu Matsuo 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 (https://twitter.com/AMAHIKOSATOh/status/249485013098307584) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's 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). 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) 13:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Ayumu Matsuo
Hi Honyarism. Although it appears that you have done some editing on Japanese Wikipedia, it appears that you are quite new to English Wikipedia. Each Wikipedia has its own unique policies and guidelines and on English Wikipedia the most important policy with respect to articles about living persons in WP:BLP. Much of the content you added about to Ayumu Matsuo about his personal life might be true, but it's too gossipy and the sources you've cited are not really acceptable for such content per WP:BLPSOURCES. In addition, your English is not really very good (at least not what is typcially expected for an English Wikipedia article) and much of what you added is too literal of a translation from Japanese to English. I am not trying to discourage you from editing, but just want you to be aware that things are done slightly differently on English Wikipedia and the standard for verifying article content through citations to reliable sources seems to be much more higher than it is on Japanese Wikipedia.

Finally, about the image you uploaded to Commons, this is clearly a copyrighted image that cannot be uploaded as you did without the explicit consent of the Japan Shogi Association. Even though I think you meant well and this is a mistake many editors make, you need to be extra careful when uploading files to Wikipedia or Commons. There are lots of photos used on websites, but being able to download them free of charge does not mean they are no longer protected by copyright. Please read c:COM:L (there's a Japanese version of the page) for more details, but in general you can really only upload original photos which you have taken yourself and not photos other people have taken.

If you have any questions about any of the above, feel free to ask. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:50, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

English Wikipedia expectations
Hi Honyarism,

As Marchjuly has pointed out, above, there are certain polices and expectation on this version of Wikipedia which may be different to those you are used to at ja-wiki. We are also - due to the sheer size of en-wiki compared to most others - much less likely to tolerate disruption, so it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the way you are expected to behave here early on. Your actions at Ayumu Matsuo so far have fallen short of these expectations. The en-wiki policies on sourcing, verifiability, neutrality and biography would also be worth your while reading. However, if you are unable to communicate respectfully with other editors, your time here is likely to be very short. Yunshui 雲 水 12:30, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You are expected to communicate. If you think an article should contain a piece of information and other editors remove it, the onus is on you to explain why it should be included. You can have this discussion on the article's talkpage or elsewhere, but you must have the discussion. If you change the article back to your preferred version without discussion, you are edit warring - which is a good way to get blocked.
 * You are expected to respect other users. Accusing others of vandalism when no vandalism has taken place is considered a personal attack - we don't allow that here. Again; this is a good way to get blocked. Conversely, an explanatory note such as the one posted above is not a personal attack; claiming that it is when anyone can see it is not is considered disruptive.
