Hello, I'm GSK. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Theatre, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. GSK ● talk ● contribs 22:21, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Theatre. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. GSK ● talk ● contribs 05:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

The Link I added for Theatre is not intended for spam in any way, shape, or form. I am only trying to lead people a site that gives a nice general theatre history for a myriad of cultures, including the U.S., Germany, Russia, and more.


 * Hi Zalexander. Theatrehistory.com is not suitable as either an external link or a reliable source. It has a significant amount of advertising and often creates pop-up windows (e.g., to Netflix ads, etc.) when internal links are clicked. Some content is copied verbatim from other primary sources; if you want to reference that content as a source, please cite the primary source instead of this website. Other content lacks author names; these make inappropriate sources and may even infringe copyright. Lambtron (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I disagree with Lambtron in this case, although it seems that you placed the link in the wrong position. I have moved it to the EL section.  See the discussion at WP:RSN.  Zalexander, please sign your messages using four tildes like this: ~ .  That will automatically add your name and the date that you posted your comment. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:51, 15 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The discussion at WP:RSN is about whether theatrehistory is a reliable source. Since your interest is EL, a more relevant discussion can be found here: Is theatrehistory.com an appropriate external link?. Lambtron (talk) 17:15, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Bin Donated Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Bin Donated Logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 22:19, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
