March 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Karen Dawn has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_nyz0ceqd4). 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.

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 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Karen Dawn has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Karen Dawn. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted.

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Karen Dawn. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. -- Menti fisto 23:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Karen Dawn. -- Menti fisto 23:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I was blocked for vandalism but I need to delete the page for Karen Dawn. I am sole creator and editor of the page. Please help!

Decline reason:

Sorry, you don't get to do that; eight or nine other editors have already worked on that page. And we don't get to create pages at the behest of the subject, either. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 00:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Since it seems you just didn't know what you were doing, I'm going to assume good faith and unblock you. Please take some time, however, to review our conflict of interest and deletion policies, and also be aware that if something like this should happen again we may not look on it so kindly.

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.
