Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jay Sankey has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93jA9xtTZTs (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. 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) 19:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Vanek
Hi, I know your new here, so I thought I should let you know why I made changes to your article. Basically, alot of the info didn't adhere to wikipedia policy. Not a big problem because it is your first article, and other editors will guide you through all the policy. You should probably take a look at the various policies to see where I'm coming from. WP:MOS, WP:EL and others should help you with editing. The reason I changed the names was because its wikipedia policy that people not be refered to by first name. The first mention of a name should be their full name, with their last name being used elsewhere in the article. I also removed your links to itunes, which go against everything wikipedia is supposed to be. The wikipedia project is to create an encyclopedia, not to help your band sell music. Commercial links, advertisements, or any sites for the purpose of selling products should not be added to an article.

One other item you should watch for is conflict of interest. Since your user name is identical to a band member, I have to assume that you are that person. Wikipedia's policy is that we agree to avoid editing or creating articles about ourselves, our businesses, organizations we belong to, or other topics where we have a vested interest likely to prevent us from editing from a neutral point-of-view. 142.68.229.13 (talk) 06:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vanek (band)


A tag has been placed on Vanek (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Stu.W UK (talk) 02:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
