Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Information architecture has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline 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. I removed the following link(s): http://structuringinformation.wordpress.com.
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, constructive, 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) 20:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:21, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Knowledge organization. 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.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Data Presentation Architecture. 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.

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Data architecture, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links, such as on the page Knowledge management. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am an academic and computer professional who is new to Wikipedia and I am simply adding a link to my thesis and the website that I use to explain it under the appropriate tags or categories it comes under. I have tried to make it in keeping with everyone elses contributions. I have also emailed and provided my email address to JohnCD for explanation. Considering I am findng it very hard to use Wikipedia I am upset I was just blocked and all my contributions were reverted. My only wish was to enrich the academic community with my work.

Decline reason:

At Wikipedia, we all avoid using the encyclopedia to write about ourselves, and using the encyclopedia for the purpose of adding a specific link to any web site, regardless of its merits, is against our rules regarding spamming. Your unblock request indicates that you are not interested in editing Wikipedia for any purpose other than adding links to your own work, which means that an unblock would not be appropriate at this time. Please note that an unpublished PhD thesis would not meet Wikipedia's reliable sources criteria]]. If you decide to request unblock again, you should first read some of Wikipedia's basic rules, and make sure your next request indicates that you have a plan for editing more appropriately in the future.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

My intention was not to promote myself but to premote the work within the thesis. My reasoning for using Wikepedia was to firstly add external links (as others have done) to content held within my thesis that is complimentary. In addition I added the thesis itself in certain places as this would have merits as it has been published (2009) and awarded (PhD) by Staffordshire University as an original contribution to knowledge. My second reasoning was to then write a dedicated page(s) of my own on both the Virtual Gatekeeper Visualisation / Presentation Concept and my Generic Management Model that enriches the multi-tier approach/data management/information management/knowledge management/information overload areas from my PhD and I would then link to these categories as already listed. Please tell me what the problem is with all this as I believed this is what Wikepedia was all about for academic exhange or ideas? My examiner himself directly promotes himself and his external links are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Dix on your site (self promotion/advertising) which I am not intending to do so I am very confussed by all this. Please can you help me!

Decline reason:

I will concede that your motive is unimpeachable, but your understanding of wikipedia is faulty. Original work is not acceptable. And the links, which you repeatedly added in spite of being warned not to, are also unacceptable. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I searched, but couldn't find where your thesis was published- is it published under a different title? What publisher did you work with? If this is indeed a published academic work you don't need to promote it- it's inevitable, if it's significant, that others will cite it when it's the best source of information on a topic. Now that you know you aren't going to be writing about yourself, do you still even want the unblock? What other subjects do you think you'll be writing about? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guidelines you should read: WP:Conflict of interest, WP:No original research. Also, if you are to contribute here, you must take note of warnings on your talk page, and stop to discuss your edits if they are disputed. by 20:21 you had had two warnings, but you made thirteen more attempts to insert links to your thesis, including three more after a final warning.
