Welcome

[edit]

Hello, 5park5inc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Hal Sparks have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

[edit]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Hal Sparks. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please refrain from making unsourced additions to the Hal Sparks article. When making changes or additions, please provide verifiable references through reliable and independent sources.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Hal Sparks do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.  
Your edit here to Hal Sparks 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.twitter.com/halsparks) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Hal Sparks. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Cind.amuse 21:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Hal Sparks, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (5park5inc) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

  1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
  2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Hal Sparks. Thank you.

All elements added to the page are not based on opinion therefore there is no possibility of conflict of interest unless you consider facts to be in conflict with the information contained in the corrected material. None of the changes are based on value judgements, personality, philosophical or ideological points of view. They are simply details easily verified through a simple google search. The vandalism that has been corrected stood without question of verification for over a year.

Since details like "The band was formerly named "The poopy butts", stood without verification, no info was ever sited and no interest was shown in correcting them.

There is nothing promotional about the details added to the page. they are simple facts.

There are no signatures, references, tildes, assigned to the vandalism and yet they stand or are reinstated.

If verification of the details concerns you as much as you purport then eliminating contested details all together would be the remedy.

That being said there is no indication that protection of true information is occurring. Instead there is simply a maintenance of the status quo regardless of its accuracy. It seems that the indicator of truth in regards to the Hal Sparks page is the length of time the details have stood not their accuracy.
