Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Yukiko Okada has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/yukikotv). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. 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. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
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 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) 22:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC) reply

The recent edit you made to Yukiko Okada has been reverted, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — C.Fred ( talk) 04:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Please note that it is unlikely that Okada herself controls the rights to the recording; her label likely does—meaning even if you are Okada, your assertion in the Little Princess.ogg edit summary of owning the rights is dubious. — C.Fred ( talk) 04:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I'm not referring to photographs; I'm referring to the sound recordings. — C.Fred ( talk) 04:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Yukiko Okada. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page User talk:MS. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted.

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Yukiko Okada. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. J.delanoy gabs adds 22:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Yukiko Okada. LITTLE MOUNTAIN 5 22:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I've answer your question on my talk. MS (Talk| Contributions) 22:24, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Based on your response at User talk:MS, I would also suggest you read the conflict of interest guidelines, since you have admitted a conflict of interest. While users are not forbidden to edit articles about themselves, their companies, and their family members, they must exercise great care. It is strongly suggested that all edits you make are backed up with independent sourcing. — C.Fred ( talk) 22:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply
So being her niece and asking my mother about my aunt would be a reliable source as it is coming from her, Yukiko, sister?!
No. First-hand knowledge is not independent. Verifiability is one of the cornerstones of Wikipedia, and information that cannot be verified is not acceptable. Additionally, asking the questions and publishing the answers here would be original research, which is frowned upon. — C.Fred ( talk) 22:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

About the fansite tag

A large part of the reason for the fansite tag on the Yukiko Okada article is the wording in the article. Here are a few examples:

  • She was naive, cute, pure, and a growing pop sensation across Japan. Girls wanted to be just like her.
  • Yukiko was and is Seitouha Idol.
  • She walked with grace and her personality was so lively.
  • However, she was now facing a difficult situation. Her parents told her to give up one of her dreams as a result of her wanting to become a singer, and these dreams all had to do with studying:
  • The name Yukko had a ring to it and was her nickname by her fans.

While not a full scholarly work, Wikipedia is written with the objective, independent tone of an encyclopedia, journal, or similar work. The snippets are not written with that tone.

The secondary issue is lack of sourcing. It's scattershot and non-reliable; "personal knowledge" does not fall within the definitions of reliable sources. Better sources would be reviews of her work in Japanese music magazines and coverage of her death in newspapers.

Those are the reasons the fansite tag is in place. The article needs rewritten and sourcing expanded. In the course of curing the other problems, this one will be addressed also. — C.Fred ( talk) 22:30, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Why your last edit got reverted

I think you made this edit in good faith, but I've had to revert it. The edit was (deleted text struck out, added text underlined, name of actor redacted):

The reason for the suicide is still unknown was because of her secret lover, Japanese actor [redacted], broke up with Yukiko which thus spiraled the events of that April Day.

The problem is that there is no source to back up the claim. Involving another party in the suicide triggers the stringent biography of living people guidelines if he's going to be linked to the incident.

Since the source cited at the end of the article does not mention the actor, I've reverted the edit. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:11, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply
