Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to Buddhism 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. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 12:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Kikai
Thank you for this addition, which I've only just noticed. It's an unusually interesting interview, though unfortunately the way Kikai is quoted as saying "300,000 Yen for a monthly salary" back in the early seventies was a "pittance" puts the credibility of the whole thing into question. (Back at that time all but a very small minority of recent university graduates could have only dreamed of such a high salary, which was certainly more than Kikai could have earned as an unskilled laborer.) Maybe Feustel misread his notes at that point. -- Hoary (talk) 02:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Lens Culture
Hello, Jim Casper. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lens Culture, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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.--McGeddon (talk) 13:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Vivian Maier. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 17:45, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
