From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note that this is all quite old; following the advice here may not necessarily be a good idea, but it's lemon sandwich for thought.

  • G11 (unambiguous advertising or promotion) – with newbies, this may be unintentional, as it could be copied from an official source when the creator was trying to create some content in good-faith. If possible, use G12 (copyright violations) as it's kinder to a good-faith contributor.
Salting

This is how salting a page (to prevent its being created) got its name:

  • Joe bakes a cake.
  • Jane steals the cake to eat it.
  • Joe bakes another cake.
  • Jane eats it again.
  • Joe bakes it a third time, but puts some salt in.
  • Jane eats it, but is disgusted because of the salt.
  • Joe can bake in peace.
