Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Mightymaxbbtoys. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:47, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, in general commercial sites like EBay should be avoided as External links. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia's external links policy. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:47, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Mighty Max (toyline). 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. As stated above, Wikipedia is not a place for adding links about buying/selling toys. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Mighty Max (toyline), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''This is not appropriate. The purpose of Wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia for factual information, not a place for you to try and sell your stuff. If you're only aim of being on Wikipedia was to add links to your collections, then go advertise elsewhere.'' Joseph2302 (talk) 23:03, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, you are banned from my talkpage indefinitely, since spammers are not welcome there. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:23, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:01, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Although you are free to create another account, please keep in mind that inserting your website into the article in question is considered self-promotion, and that can and will result in a permanent block. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:03, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Please can you hardblock them? This is 100% evidence that they're only here to try and sell their stuff. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:05, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, they were asking what they can and cannot do, I just told them they can't do that. If they do it again then that will be a good case for harsher measures. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:11, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree. They tried to legitimise spamming a page with links to their collections, and want to "revamp this page & put a update feel with added photo's & more in depth information."- to me that means they want to show off their collection.


 * In answer to your question, Mightymaxbbtoys aka "Tim", you may not link to any social media, or sites aimed at buying/selling items. Instead, you may make additions to the page by adding factual content supported by reliable sources. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
