Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Deakin University School of Law has been reverted. Your edit here to Deakin University School of Law was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/Deakin.Law.Students.Society) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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) 01:06, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Pfelling, I'm sorry, but I had to revert your edits to Deakin Business School; your edits are promotional in tone and content. In addition, information you add really needs secondary sourcing. In the end, your version of the article looked like it could have come from the school's website, which makes me wonder whether you have a conflict of interest. Please see WP:COI. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 00:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  DGG ( talk ) 05:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. from Deakin web site  DGG ( talk ) 05:40, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission, and for repeated introducing promotional material. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.  DGG ( talk ) 22:01, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Did you read our WP:COI policy? You are in strong conflict of interest here, obviously (quote: I was asked by my manager to update the information). As you can read at WP:COI, Wikipedia does not allow COI editing. That is always considered promotional. For example, if I would write an article about myself, that would be considered promotional, even if the information was 100% accurate. Simply speaking, you are not allowed to write about the subject to which you have personal or business connection. That is regardless of the accuracy of the information. The reason for that position is our WP:Neutrality principle. Simply, you cannot be neutral if you write about subjects you are connected to. You can, of course, propose edits on the talk page and let other users review and implement them. Also, the blocking message says that you were violating WP:COPYRIGHT by copying text from other sources directly into Wikipedia. I don't have time to examine all your edits, but just want to tell you that because of Wikipedia's licence, we are not allowed to copy copyrighted material from other sources without prior explicit permission from the copyright holder. If you want to be unblocked, you have to acknowledge that you understand WP:COI and WP:COPYRIGHT policies, and that you will not be directly editing pages related to Deakin is unblocked.

(talk) ''' and Talk  · I read on a few articles, outside of Wikipedia, that you cannot delete an account, once you have added content. - http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Closing_an_account So that being said, a suggestion was to change the name of the account and just have it as a 'dummy' account. If this this is not correct, then I'd be happy for this account to be deleted... Cheers, Pamela — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfelling (talk • contribs) 00:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Now I do not understand. Do you want your account to be unblocked or to be deleted? You wrote both.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:21, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 * You're looking at Wikia. Wikia is different from Wikipedia. Accounts cannot be deleted at all, even if they haven't made any contributions. If you're looking to leave Wikipedia, you can just stop editing altogether; no technical action is necessary. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 13:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
