User talk:Machomadness

March 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''Per your username, addition of the "machomadness" website could be seen as an attempt to advertise on Wikipedia. I've also looked it over, and there's nothing to indicate it's an official site; it appears to be a fansite. Per WP:EL, fan sites should not be added to external link sections of articles.

 * Thanks for the reply. If it's considered an official kind of site, then yes, I think it is allowed. Go ahead and add it back, with the edit summary that it's contributed to by Randy's brother. Apologies for the confusion and misunderstanding on my part! Raven1977 Talk to me My edits  20:19, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding The Honky Tonk Man

 * I've reverted the link back to the new official one that you had attempted to add. I've also put the article on my watchlist, meaning I'll be able to keep track of any further issues with the article, and will try to make sure that the link stays put.

Regarding Lanny Poffo

 * I've reverted your edits because if you are Lanny Poffo, as you claim, then it is against Wikipedia policy to do so. If not, then they are censoring edits done to sourced information while impersonating as said celebrity. In which case, there is a warning for either offense.  If you are Lanny Poffo, then even if you get someone to erase true and sourced material because you don't want it there, it is still censorship. Neoyamaneko (talk) 08:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The information given has links lending to its validity. Unless the sites can be proven not to be trustworthy, then erasing them is either a bad faith edit or censorship.   The burden of proof lies with you to find them untrustworthy as your relationship with Poffo is unproven thusfar. Neoyamaneko (talk) 15:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Warnings
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you removed content from However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that is relevant to the article. You have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Some helpful links, as well as an official (nicer) welcome

 * I figured some of these links might prove handy to you in your future editing here. Feel free to hit me up if you have any further questions, though. Raven1977 Talk to me My edits  23:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Lanny Poffo
Hi,

It has been noticed that you are removing text from Lanny Poffo. In a case like this it is best that you discuss it on the talk page at talk:Lanny Poffo rather than battling it out with another editor. Describe if there are nay problems with the page. The page itself is not supposed to be a promotion for Lanny Poffo but an encyclopedia article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
