Stop trying to promote InfoWars
Although Wikipedia welcomes editors with various points of view, it Wikipedia requires that they're at least minimally capable of distinguishing between reality-based sources and sheer fantasy.

Alex Jones's InfoWars has argued, with a straight face, that the Democratic party uses pizza parlors to smuggle kidnapped children to slave colonies on Mars, at the behest of extradimensional beings, and that most people don't know this because George Soros owns all other news sources and Hillary Clinton's witchcraft stops any other leaks. To anyone with a triple digit IQ, this is obvious bullshit, especially when one considers that Alex Jones's lawyers admitted he's just acting in a custody case.

This is why Wikipedia unanimously decided to block InfoWars as a source.

Any further attempts to promote or defend InfoWars on any part of the site will result in an immediate and indefinite block. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * And another thing, don't copy and paste text from sources onto the site, especially copyrighted text. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:00, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * Creating a page for your music career would almost certainly go against our policy against promotionalism. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Go Against Your Policy of "Promotionalism"?
How would creating a Musician/artist page "Go Against Your Policy of 'Promotionalism'?" That makes no sense. There are millions of Musician pages and Artist pages. Are all of those in violation of 'Promotionalism'? So why am I not aloud to do that exactly? Thesourwarhead (talk) 21:03, 9 November 2018 (UTC)


 * There are only 5.7 million plus pages here, so millions is an exaggeration. But there are a lot, yes. As far as we are able to determine they are not written by the artists who are the subjects of the articles. Anthony Bradbury "talk" 23:16, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
