User talk:Friendsofdanpod
May 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Friendsofdanpod) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.
There are two issues with this:
- 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.
- 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. Thank you.

Smash Mouth
I reverted your edit to Smash Mouth adding your interview with Michael Urbano to the External Links section. That section is for pages about the band in general, like their official website or their artist profile page on a prominent music site. One interview with a single member of the band isn't going to cut it. If he broke some major news about the band you could add that to the body of the article and cite the podcast as your reference, but if you keep adding stuff like that to "External Links" sections you will likely be blocked from editing Wikipedia, especially given your obvious promotional motivations.

link additions
This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, 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. --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:25, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
