Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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. Thank you. [1] MrOllie (talk) 14:26, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find it amazing that for 2 years scabies-information.com was a useful resource on this site, and then you come along and decide to pull it. It has more pictures then some of the other links and more useful information on scabies that can help. I believe that MrOllie, a self anointed wiki policeman, is way out of line. Too bad for all of those who could use the information. You need to really take another look at the information you banned, maybe let someone else take a look...your obviously not objective...

This is a major fail on what could be a great project.

Greetings from WikiProject Medicine!

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 21:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

September 2010

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Herpes

All the images here [3] are from the CDC and thus in the public domain. They could potentially be added. If you wish to improve access / quality of information available to the general public it would be better to improve the Wiki page by linking to high quality review articles. Also if you have specific picture to which you own the copyright you could upload them to Wikimedia and add them directly to the article. Let me know if you need help with any of this. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scabies

Do you have higher quality images? And what is the copyright of these? Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References and links

The pages you are adding as external links are not notable and thus should not be added to Wikipedia per WP:ELNO. They are also not reliable sources per WP:MEDRS. Please use review articles. Thanks. Also if you need further clarification please drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:36, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure why you continue to re add these external links? Are you associated with that site? Many of the images there are already on wiki. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

if you took the time to actually read the discussions you would see multiple references from others looking for more images. I placed the link there so that people could see other images, not just the few that are there and represent a very small collection of the various stages of the disease. It appears that there is some other motivation for you to remove them and I am unsure of what is going on here, but you see to follow all my post and try to revert them. Good for you...bad for the wiki. I will not contribute anymore as I don't have time for your childish games.

You must get consensus to add these images. Please post at WT:MED if you wish another opinion. Adding links to your own website is not appropriate. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:43, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Result of your edit warring complaint about Genital wart

Please see the result of WP:AN3#User:Jmh649 reported by User:Davidandkimbenton (Result: Submitter warned) which includes a warning to you. Repeated insertion of a link to your own website may lead to sanctions under our WP:SPAM policy. You need to get consensus of editors to justify these additions, which will not be easy to get in the case of medical articles. Jmh649 has explained that you should be able to upload images to http://commons.wikimedia.org provided you own the copyrights. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:21, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is really pathetic. I can assure you that almost everything that is contributed to the WIKI is by the owners of websites.... or there would be no content.

Ok, i will abide by your ruling, but will no longer use the wikipedia as it is really just a compilation of what a select few want to present to the masses...not a truly collaborative effort at all. Not really a FREE Encyclopedia after all. Davidandkimbenton (talk) 17:43, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This issue with these type of links is that they can be used to drive traffic to others websites (which than contain advertising and could be used for generating profit). Wikipedia is not to be used for this purpose. If you wish to improve Wikipedia we welcome your involvement. Cheers.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? The bias to the edits that you make are what I have an issue with. It only takes 2 minutes to scan the page and find a dozen references and links to sites that contain advertising. Not every site can be non-profit, that is ridiculous. WebMD is a prime example and how does it generate the income to operate? Ads from google. Under references on Scabies, the last one #34 is a broken link... did you look at any of those??? NO? of course not.

Like I said, it is the bias of the edits that really stands out. It is too bad really. I used to respect this site, but that is not the case any longer. I am sure you will edit this as well... Davidandkimbenton (talk) 03:01, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Herpes Cure Research

--Wwdamron (talk) 15:31, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Herpes Cure Research This is a site i thought you may have some interest in, that i have been working on for years.[reply]

https://sites.google.com/site/herpescure2011/hot-news-1

It is a non-profit site, i do not make anything off the google Ads, I donate it.

You seem to have some knowledge based upon your talks and contributions on wikipedia.
