Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Qntal has been reverted. Your edit here to Qntal 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 (http://www.facebook.com/qntalmusic) 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) 13:19, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Help request
Hello XLinkBot , Thank you for your message. I admit that I am new to Wikipedia and the reason I have started using it is because I am a member of the band Qntal which has some outdated information on both its English and German Wikipedia pages. The links you had a problem with are simply to our official Facebook and Twitter pages, so I don't know why they would be objectionable. As an actual representative of the band, how can we make it so that we are the ones who approve or don't approve changes made to the page? Thank you for your help! --Qntaluz (talk) 14:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm going to post one of our notices with detailed information about our conflict of interest policies that should answer your questions. Also new posts should always go at the bottom of talk pages.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Qntaluz. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Qntal, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 14:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
