April 2008[edit]

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Oscar Asche, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. Gwandoya Talk 04:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AusStage is the Australian National Performing Arts Database which is run by a partnership of eighteen Australian Universities - it includes listings of performance which relate to people with articles in Wikipedia. These listings are not suitable for inclusion within the body of the article but should be considered important as an external link. This is not spam. Fewster (talk) 04:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on External links. In a nut shell: external links should be kept to a minimum. Gwandoya Talk 05:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have read the Guidelines and I quote "What should be linked - Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons." If I now add the links from these performers to AusStage again will you proceed with removing them again? Fewster (talk) 23:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Theatre!

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the the finest, most comprehensive resource of theatre topics available online. As a project member, you might like to introduce yourself on our talk page and maybe add the project membership userbox to your user page.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review our article structure guidelines for theatre articles, which give a handy guide to sections you should try to include in articles about theatre. If you would like suggestions about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!

WikiProject Theatre May 2008 Newsletter[edit]

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (May 2008)
The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter!
Issue 3 - May, 2008

Welcome to our third newsletter - we've got lots to get through this month so without further ado, let's crack on...

The Big Debate - Character Lists in Play Articles

For those of you who haven't headed over to our talk page recently - you've been missing out! Throughout the past month there's been great discussion about the issue of character lists in play articles. The aim is to form a standard presentation of character lists to be used on all play articles so if you'd like to make your voice heard on the issue then check out the talk page now.

Collaboration of The Month

Yet again this month's COTM has remained unchanged as no-one has nominated any articles to become the new incumbent. Quick - get yourself down to the COTM page and nominate an article for next month!

Assessment

The number of articles at the Assessment page are growing - if you're feeling a little lost and don't know where to begin to help us out, head on down to the Assessment page and give us a hand.

New members

The past month has seen Dereksmootz, Duckie for broadway, Dozenthey, Fewster, Nrswanson, Kleinzach and Broadweighbabe join us - welcome to you all! It's wonderful to see such a large influx of new members.

If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project?

HELP!

We're crying out for people to help us out wherever possible. We are currently looking for members to volunteer to give us a hand in several areas. If you can do any of the following, please drop us a line at the talk page:

  • Newsletter Editor(s) - Always fancied yourself as a bit of a journalist? Perhaps you could help us write this newsletter - it doesn't take long to compile. Maybe you'd like to help but can't commit on a regular basis? In that case, why not rally round a few other members of the project to help you out and take it in turns each month to compose the newsletter?
  • Mailmen/women - If writing the newsletter isn't your bag then maybe you could help in the distribution of this fine document? As our membership grows it becomes quite laborious to send it to everyone. It's only a quick task that needs doing once a month, and really is just a case of copying and pasting a template onto our members talk pages.
  • Portal editor(s) - It's come to our attention that the Theatre Portal hasn't been updated in a long time and we'd like to get someone, or a group of people to take charge of it and get it up to the standard of some of the great portals out there (e.g. the Comedy Portal, the Solar System Portal etc).
And finally...

Don't forget to add the WikiProject Theatre userbox to your userpage to spread the word about the project!

July 2013[edit]

Stop icon This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Nymf talk to me 11:09, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AusStage (www.ausstage.edu.au) is the Australian National Performing Arts Database which is run by a partnership of eighteen Australian Universities and funded by the Australian Federal Government - it includes listings of performance which relate to people with articles in Wikipedia. These listings are not suitable for inclusion within the body of the article but should be considered important as an external link, as IMBD is. This is definitely not spam. I'm sorry that you have reverted my links to AusStage and hope that you will see fit to reinstate them.

Furthermore, I have read the Guidelines and I quote "What should be linked - Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons."

Not going to happen. You have been at this for over 5 years. See WP:LINKSPAM, WP:ADV etc. Nymf talk to me 12:55, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
