[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to McAfee SiteAdvisor, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Also added content argument to article, as well as apparent legal threat Jackollie (talk) 17:32, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jackollie First, thanks for welcomming - second: I added a comment to your page - I have pasted a copy here: Judge and Jury. Hi Jackollie. Why is it you just stumpled over my comment about site advisor ? no more than a few minutes after I had entered it - for the second time.
My comment is decent - and relavant. My comment in talk about calling for a group lawsuit against Site Advisor is also relavant. What makes you think Site Advisor is a programme that should be allowed on the internet ?
Do you realise how much power these guys have just by offering the programme ?
You can compare this programme to a bunch of guys running around and making invisble graphiti on peoples houses during the night. If you buy a pair of special glasses from them you will be able to see what they have written on your house. Maybe it is good - and maybe it is bad.
And the guy who owns the house/store - doesn't know they have been there, and maybe he can't even see it, and he will never find out why he is loosing customers.
In my case it was bad - but they will not show me where the apparantly red link on my website is - and I can't find it. My website is small and not important - but I do try to attract customers by it - can you imagine how many customers will visit my site (if they have bought the site advisor).
Would you shop in a store that was painted with "danger do not enter" on the door ??
They did not even inform me about the tag.. and they do not respond to my mails. I happen to use McAfee my self - so I found out about it fast - but the poor bastards who doesn't use the programme - they will never know.
My domain is finished - and I cant do anything about it - except call for a group lawsuit - that is all I have left. Do you see what kind of power they have ?
What if they decide to tag wikipedia red ? and you cant find the reason - and they do not respond to your mails - would you still have the same oppinion ?

- Mr. Ditlevsen, please accept my sympathies for the difficulties you face. Unfortunately, Wikipedia by its nature and policies is an ineffective forum for presenting your experiences. Wikipedia's policies require editors to cite only published sources, not personal experience, and to present articles from a neutral point of view. I hope that you can find a more effective venue for addressing these issues. Sincerely, Jackollie (talk) 06:10, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
- Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.

Account rename
[edit]After a short discussion with User:LaraLove, you have been unbloked. Please make a request for rename at WP:CHU within the next 24 hours. Do not edit any articles or pages other than for the username change until it is completed. Please keep in mind that the bureaucrats may still decline the rename since you have very few edits. Thank you. — Coren (talk) 21:29, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- Since you have not requested a rename, I have reinstated the block. I would recommend you simply create a new account. Remember to keep the conflict of interest rules in mind, regardless of your account name. — Coren (talk) 23:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
