Stop spamming the Marc Ecko page with your "voting" info.

If you do it again, Wikipedia will block you from posting. TabascoMan77 00:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, please stop spamming classannual links with parodies or essays. --Golbez 18:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand. I am not knowingly spamming the Marc Ecko page with my "voting" info. Please explain. --DonDesignJr 19:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are adding links to classannual.com to articles where they are not relevant or not useful. Furthermore, the one from the tropical cyclone ones.. is written by you, so it fails the original research guidelines. In fact, I'm having trouble finding any edit from you that isn't you linking to that site. --Golbez 20:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to edit pages of the pedia boldly, but adding links to your blog, no matter how accurate, eloquent and relevant is considered advertising and spam. Continuing to add these links will get your account blocked immediately. So try some constructive edits which do NOT involve links to your blog. Once again, welcome to the community. (And don't use email addresses in posts unless you like receiving email spam). BusterD 13:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Links On Custer Pages

Hello DonDesignJr -

I note that you have placed links to your Custer/Murat/Patton and "Custer Died In Victory?" essays on Ideas4Humanity on the "External Links" section of those GAC pages (after I had removed and explained the removal from the actual article).

I'm happy to see these back as links because I think they are provocative and interesting as point of view observations. They are just kind of "point of view" for the actual article, from which I intend to remove or replace more material that is prejudiced or opinionated one way or another.

I wonder if you might take a look at the LBH discussion page and my note about "Custer Died In Victory." I think a re-written version of that conveying your main point - that following LBH the Indians never again gathered in such numbers nor ever again won an outright battle with the army - might be an appropriate addition to the end of the article, as a factual statement. My problem with the original piece was your rendering of what we both would guess was the Indian thought process. But since we don't have direct evidence for that, I think that all we can say is the fact - LBH was it for Indian victories. Sensei48 17:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from DonDesignJr

Hello BusterD, Sensei48, TabascoMan77, Golbez

BusterD you do make me feel welcome. However we have unintentionally stepped on a few toes (I should say fingers, typing fingers). We have suspended our Wikipedia activities. We will corporate even without the threat of banishment. We believe the other editors are as supportive to tenderFoots (tenderFingers) as you and Sensei48 are, even though they did pounce pretty hard, and rightly so.

SPAM DEFINED. BusterD and Golbez thanks for explaining spam as it pertains to Wikipedia. I knew of the common definition of spam but not this meaning. I was surprised. If TabascoMan77 or Golbez had used the term WikiSpam or used BusterD's link to spam, it would have made me investigate the meaning, and I would have found it instantly in Wikipedia. Whereas spam left me puzzled: "What spam? I didn't spam!"

Why use the word spam? I don’t see a sufficient connection to share the word. I declare a misnomer. I can think of several more relevant, descriptive names.

WikiSpam I DID. I saw the ability to add links and thought that implied permission. At the very least, it implied adding links was not totally taboo. It didn't occur to me that links in the body of your articles link only to Wikipedia articles. Sorry.

RE-WRITES. Sensei48, of course you are correct about the re-write. When searching for information, my first click is on the big "W" on my bookmark bar, because I know Wikipedia's information is enormous and not tainted with bias such as mine and has links to "Points-of-View" sites such as ours. However, I dedicate most of my time to achieving the Goals set forth by Ideas4Humanity.com (see External Links) and am driven by forces that appear daily without warning, so I may not return to The Little Bighorn for sometime, especially not knowing that it will be approved. But foremost, I don't have the skill to switch from writing on one side of the fence to walking on top of the fence with my bias lean. Perhaps that is a reason for the original research rule.

MODIFIED OUR COPYRIGHTS. We have several articles that may interest your readers as excerpts or External Links. For our List of All Articles see our External Links at the end of this message.

And since it would be beneficial to your readers, Wikipedia editors, and aid in accomplishing our goals, we have decided to modify our Copyright Reprint Permission to offer Wikipedia editors our information to use or not use as they see fit (see External Links). If there are any changes you want, let us know.

If one of the Wikipedia pros edits in some of our material, there would be no original research violations.

LINKS BACK AND FORTH. We have been adding links from our articles to Wikipedia. We will add many more. Wikipedia is a powerful resource, thanks to you folks.

Would it be OK for us to add links from your External Links sections to our articles, with link deletion being the worse action your editors take?

ALL EDITORS. Would you pass this message to all Wikipedia editors? Or tell me how to do it, if it is permitted.

MORE THAN WELCOMED. We feel more than welcomed. We feel honored to be known by the Bakers of Wikipedia's Bread of Knowledge.

EXTERNAL LINKS:

Permission: [3]

Cheerio! Don.
