User talk:Mindiabair

September 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mindi Abair 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://youtube.com/officialmindiabair (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) 15:35, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:44, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Facts
I have corrected some of the "facts" that you have recently introduced into Mindi Abair, specifically, the chart positions of the various albums. The Billboard.com website clearly indicates the peak position that any album has reached in its charts; claiming that an album debuted at a position higher than its indicated peak position is incorrect. If you can provide a citation that demonstrates otherwise, please do so. Otherwise, please do not introduce incorrect facts into Wikipedia. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:44, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
Hello, I noticed you changed the documentation page for Template:Infobox musical artist by filling in some of the fields, and in the edit summary, you said you had "created an artist infobox". I think you're a little confused... changing the documentation does not create an infobox. The fields should be left blank on the documentation page; I have undone your changes. The article for Mindi Abair already has an infobox, which is to say, an instance of the musical artist infobox. Hope that's clear? Nothing more needs to be done. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 05:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

P.S., more suggestions and requests: Do not check the "minor edit" box on every edit you make; this should only be used when making a tiny correction such as spelling or punctuation. Also, you should remove the text you added to your user page, as it has been copied from and is a copyright violation. You cannot copy content from other websites to Wikipedia. See WP:COPYVIO for more about this. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 05:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
