Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Estate (house). Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Gwernol 01:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Images deleted
I have deleted Image:Estate Mag.gif and Image:Estatecover.gif since these are obviously copyrighted images. Copyright images cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia. Gwernol 01:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Estate (house), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

 * Wikipedia is not a place for you to promote your magazine. It is not appropriate for you to try to drum up subscriptions for your magazine here. This is an encyclopedia, not a marketing tool. We also ask that people who have an interest in a subject not edit articles related to that subject. Assuming Estate magazine is notable it will get an article written about it on Wikipedia, but you cannot do that due to your links to the magazine. Sorry, but maintaining a neutral point of view is essential Wikipedia. Thanks for understanding, Gwernol 02:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * On the question of images: yes I understand you own the copyright. If you upload them to Wikipedia they get licensed under the GFDL. This means that anyone can use the images for any purpose, including commercial purposes. In effect you are giving up your copyright claims to them. Is this really what you intend to do? If you do, I can help you properly express this in the licensing when you upload them. Gwernol 02:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe your magazine images would be most welcome in Commons:Category:Magazine covers. -- Petri Krohn 06:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

If i remove the subscription part and just put info about it and a photo of it is that ok? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MJParker (talk • contribs).


 * Not really, the text is advertising blurb and information about the trademark status of the magazine's name. None of this is appropriate for an encyclopedia article. And again, you are in a conflict of interest and cannot write about this magazine here. Assuming that the magazine meets our notability requirements: primarily that it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, independent published articles, then those could be used by an uninvolved editor to create an article about the magazine. If you have such articles that can be used as sources for the article, you can request that it is created at Articles for creation. You might also like to read the additional information there and Your first article which should help you as well. Thanks, Gwernol 02:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
