March 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page New York Guitar Festival has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline 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. I removed the following link(s): http://www.myspace.com/newyorkguitarfestival (matching the regex rule \bmyspace\.com).
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) 21:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Your work

First, I have twice reverted your addition of David Spelman, Artistic Director the The New York Guitar Festival, and music supervisor to New England Conservatory. As a general rule, long lists of notable people will include only bluelinks -- if they are notable enough to be included in the New England Conservatory list, then they are notable enough to have articles. Please don't make the addition again unless and until someone writes the Spelman article.

Second, I note that your name and the bulk of your editing are problematic:

• The user name is a violation of policy WP:GROUPNAME
• It may be used by more than one person, which violates WP:NOSHARE
• It suggests a conflict of interest WP:COI in your editing of New York Guitar Festival.

Although New York Guitar Festival could use considerable cleanup, it appears to satisfy WP:Notability -- I've just put the bluelinked performers into columns and it's certainly a good list. I suggest, though,

• You change your Username
• You leave the article alone for a while and let others work on it, particularly if you are actually connected with the festival and especially if you are either Spelman or Schaefer.

License tagging for File:Vidal.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Vidal.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited David Spelman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Lang and The National (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
