NCIS references
It's really rather pointless adding multiple references that are all to the same url, which is already used as a general reference for all episodes. All it does is clutter up the page. If you're going to add references for each episode, they should be unique urls for each episode to be of any benefit. --AussieLegend (talk) 17:08, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Mel's new baby
Thanks for clearing his new daughter's name up. I seriously thought it was Eva, which is what the source said. ★ Dasani ★ 20:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Cite Errors
Hello Tube Surfer, Thank you for you contributions, but, you are leaving a string of "cite errors" behind you! Please always use the Preview button! Specifically when using "" is appearing becasue you have not put: " | title=title of reference " as part of the cite template. Please use the Preview button, before saving your edits, to check!

I have already corrected Amy Irving. I checked your recent edits to Gina Gershon, Laura Prepon and Rob Schneider‎ and I found the same error in all!. In fact, every one of your edits I checked had. or still has, the same error! I also notice that, acccording to your User page, you "work in Online Marketing for TV Guide." This is a conflict of interest(COI), as the references are all linking to "TV Guide", though the fact that you have declared this COI is certainly positive. I am not sure how this is handled 'officially' on Wikipedia. Please see wp:COI, and WP:PROMOTION for more information on what WP is not allowed to be used for.

 * Please go back and correct your mistakes. See wp:CITE, or for more help.

I've been told that, unless the first name is necessary for clarity, it's best to refer to a person by their last name in an article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 02:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

TV guide
Whatever happened to "I've carefully read all of Wikipedia's guidelines, and completely understand that any promotion or links back to TV Guide made by me, my staff or anyone at TV Guide for marketing purposes is in violation of those guidelines. In other words, if you find TV Guide links in the external link section of a TV article, we didn't put it there - and the same goes for any news references. We'll always go through discussion pages, to try to convince editors of the validity of our TV/Entertainment coverage, and leave the community to judge the content's value and worthiness to be placed on the page." You are actively adding unnecessary references to TV Guide and replacing existing references with TV Guide equivalent ones.  X  eworlebi (talk) 22:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dexter (season 5), 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, 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Please stop spamming TV Guide everywhere, this is a conflict of interest.  X  eworlebi (talk) 20:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Please use an edit summary
I have been noticing that many of the edits that you have to been making do not include edit summaries. Next time please add a brief description of the edits that you are making to an article. Thank you.  Quasy Boy  19:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Please stop spamming TVGuide everywhere, you say you know the guidelines on your userpage, so you are purposely and knowingly violation those rules. I've opened a second conflict of interest discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, please respond.''  X  eworlebi (talk) 22:33, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used mainly for spamming or advertising. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:32, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
