Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page DJ Mam's has been reverted. Your edit here to DJ Mam's 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.youtube.com/user/MAMSPRODTV) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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.

Welcome Zandeck, but French materials are not allowed
Let me introduce myself. I am an editor who signs in as "werldwayd" and edits a lot of materials. Actually I was the one who created the DJ Mam's page after hearing his materials as "Hella Décalé" and "Zumba He Zumba Ha". So I am happy anytime the page becomes richer with new materials by new contributors. Although I thank you very much for your efforts in adding the materials you did and you spending considerable time in English language Wikipedia, the edits are not allowed and acceptable in English Wikipedia as they are in French language for which we have the site http://fr.wikipedia.org where such edits need to be done. Such materials should be in French Wikipedia, not here. Anyway the main market of DJ Mam's music is francophone, so a French page is read more widely and they should be there. Another very important remark is that you are copying copyrighted materials "en masse". Although it is ok to extract certain information from published sources and cite references that you have done so, what is not allowed is copying big passages "as is" which is considered copyright infringement. Such materials are deletable immediately without further notice. I have saved the information though on "my personal working area" and I will try to salvage whatever can be salvaged from the materials you provided, and try to incorporate some additional information in our Wikipedia article, but without the "original research" and the subjective opinions and the unaccepted promotional nature of your materials and the tone in which they are written which is not encyclopedic and has very much subjective information of "insider" nature, as if written by a "related party". It is one of our main rules to be accommodating to newcomers, and welcome new editors, but your initial edits, because you are inexperienced in editing Wikipedia, particularly a big project like this article, should be done in a "test area" we are providing to you when you sign up and not on the artist's page for everyone to see. An artist's page should not be used to test how edits are done. An artist's page should stay immune from "trial and error" type of editing. My suggestion is: Write something in English (on your sandbox page (you find on the top of your edit page when you sign in), once you're done, inform me where you have saved your final draft edit, and present it to me and I'll help you in wording the text and making possible its inclusion in an acceptable encyclopedic style. In any case I will use some of your info regardless whether you respond or not as they contain some usable information we may incorporate in the English article. And like Khaled and RedOne say in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geie8EGxNCU, "C'est la vie (Khaled song)".... werldwayd (talk) 10:24, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Repeated copyright violations
You have once again violated copyright by pasting in the contents of http://www.123marseille.com/?p=1&lang=en. If you do this again, your account will be blocked from further editing.&mdash;Kww(talk) 19:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The materials you have introduced on DJ Mam's page once again are a blatant advertisement and are of pure promotional nature obviously written by an insider who is very generous in writing in a subjective and very questionable non-encyclopedic manner. It may be ok for a site sponsored by the artist but it has no place in Wikipedia. We do welcome new editors here, but clearly my gentle and long remarks to you to pinpoint the obvious violations of our rules did not have any effect and you didn't consider their merit. By the way, everything you have inserted are easily accessible through our External links. What's the use of repeating that text word for word then after deleting all the work we had done in introducing DJ Mam's in a factual manner? I don't see what you have added is any improvement on what we already have... I also suggested that you concentrate more efforts on developing a French Wikipedia page for DJ Mam's where there will be obviously far more following to the page. werldwayd (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2012 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 19:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Copyrighted photo removed
The DJ Mam's photo you added was a copyrighted photo widely available on other sites and is one of the first on Google search, but not allowable for "living" persons according to our rules of photos, as personal non-copyrighted photos taken can always be introduced for living persons from a concert or from a social occasion. The photo was deleted by User:CommonsDelinker from our database and does not appear any more on DJ Mam's page anymore. But you can always upload a photo that is taken personally with the author releasing it for general use. You are welcome to add such a photo if you have access to such photos or plan to take any photos yourself in the future. werldwayd (talk) 19:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
