Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Vangelis Trigas has been reverted. Your edit here to Vangelis Trigas 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.facebook.com/pages/Vangelis-Trigas-Bouzouki-virtuoso-instrumentalist-and-master-instructor/170434166328093/) 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) 07:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Vangelis Trigas with this edit. 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. Thank you. Cst17 (talk) 08:01, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Andrew (contemporary artist, born 1974)


The article John Andrew (contemporary artist, born 1974) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Apparent autobiography citing only self-published sources"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Andrew (contemporary artist, born 1974)


A tag has been placed on John Andrew (contemporary artist, born 1974), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://johnandrewarts.com/bio. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. V27t (talk) 22:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

Unblocking and undeleting request
Dear Bbb2, deleting my page “John Andrew (contemporary artist, born 1974)” was inappropriate. I complied with previous recommendation for change by hiring a journalist to upload a bio on a referencing site. Your reason for “spam/and advertising purpose”, applies to every living person listed in Wikipedia. All I tried doing was contributing by listing all the facts and references related to my profession. I would appreciate if you would reconsider and revert. After all, Wikipedia is supposed to be a free resource for the community; not having to pay hundreds of dollars to other professionals for a listing. Johnandrew1974 (talk) 00:10, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are piping your signature in an attempt to customize it, it is not being done correctly. 331dot (talk) 13:14, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've fixed your signatures here- it should display as it does currently. 331dot (talk) 13:20, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I fear you really do have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Wikipedia. It is an encyclopaedia, not the Yellow Pages. It is not intended to provide free advertising to non-notable individuals who write autobiographies of themselves. The living people who have biographies have them because there are good reasons for them to be notable (i.e. there is sufficient coverage of them in non-self-published sources). An entry on a website that you have clearly written yourself or has been written for you at your request does not count. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
