[edit] Preston pittman

A tag has been placed on Preston pittman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Preston pittman 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 for advertising or promotion. Since 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 to this encyclopedia.  

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that 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): rule: '\bwordpress\.com' (link(s): http://ppittman.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/l_5ca5a71d46ac4195b4a6d68343af33f5.jpg)) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or 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. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators 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).

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) 22:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Misuse of this site

Preston, please do not use this site as a social network. This is neither Myspace nor Facebook. It is an encyclopedia, i.e., a reference work. Using this as a BBS or chat room is a violation of policy. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your user page

I have moved your article about yourself to your user page (User:Preston.pittman). Writing articles about yourself in the main encyclopedia is not a great idea, I'm afraid - firstly, writing an encyclopedia article about yourself would be a conflict of interest; secondly, articles about people who are not verifiably notable will be deleted. More latitude is allowed on userpages (see WP:USER for guidance) but even on user pages it's not a case that "anything goes". Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia - a standard message follows, with some more useful links for your reference - please let me know if I can help you further.
