A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Kelinacowell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Deli nk (talk) 12:29, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Suntukan/Panuntukan[edit]

Hi Kelina. Sorry for having to remove your entries from the Suntukan article, but they violates Wikipedia WP:G1 and conflict of interest rules -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Writing_about_yourself_and_your_work

Your contributions are much appreciated, but they need to be written and done in a manner that is neutral in tone and not overtly self-promoting. I hope you understand. Thank you for promoting the arts! -Object404 (talk) 21:07, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kelina. Sorry again for removing your personal website link from the Suntukan article, but Wikipedia has a policy of WP:PROMOTION - Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion:

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. This applies to usernames, articles, categories, files, talk page discussions, templates, and user pages. Therefore, content hosted in Wikipedia is not for:

Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Advertising, marketing or public relations. Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify notable organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so.

Also: Wikipedia's Anti-Spam rules: Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming External link spamming:

Shortcuts

Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed.

Please also read: Wikipedia:External links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided: 'Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject, one should generally avoid providing external links to:

Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article.
Individual web pages^[1] that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising. For example, the mobile phone article does not link to web pages that mostly promote or advertise cell-phone products or services.
Links mainly intended to promote a website, including online petitions. See external link spamming.
Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article. A general site that has information about a variety of subjects should usually not be linked from an article on a more specific subject. Similarly, a website on a specific subject should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject. If a section of a general website is devoted to the subject of the article, and meets the other criteria for linking, then that part of the site could be deep linked.

Advertising and conflicts of interest [edit]

Shortcuts

It is obvious that a link from Wikipedia to an external site may drive Web traffic to that site. But in line with Wikipedia policies, you should avoid linking to a site that you own, maintain, or represent—even if Wikipedia guidelines seem to imply that it may otherwise be linked. When in doubt, you may go to the talk page and let another editor decide. This suggestion is in line with Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidelines.

Wikipedia uses the same standards for evaluating links to websites owned by for-profit and (real or purported) non-profit organizations. Links to potentially revenue-generating web pages are not prohibited, even though the website owner might earn money through advertisements, sales, or (in the case of non-profit organizations) donations. Choose which pages to link based on the immediate benefit to Wikipedia readers that click on the link, not based on the organization's tax status or your guess at whether the website's owner might earn money from the link.

Thank you again for promoting the arts, but this is not exactly the right way to go about it. There is a need for an updated directory of FMA schools though, we might start a project about that at http://en.wikipilipinas.org - would you be interested in helping out in that? Wikipedia is not the place for it, because it has a policy for not being turned into a directory: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory Regards, -Object404 (talk) 23:08, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

August 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Stepney may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

''The hoppers of Kent'' (BBC Kent)] accessed 21 December 2007</ref> Actor [[Roy Marsden]] was born in Stepney, as was [[EastEnders]]

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 12:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
