Deletion

[edit]

Deletion of a comment is not an argument, and most especially not a winning argument. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:26, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Would you mind refraining from inserting links to your website? Thanks. yandman 10:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This seems for the moment to be your main account, and I suggest that we use this to discuss this further for the moment. Please refrain from a) making more accounts to blank pages or to add more links, and b) from blanking this page. It will not help your cause.

I am going to expand on this. First, wiredforbooks.org is NOT spam. However, the way YOU (with the three accounts that you appear to have been using for it) are adding these links, is spamming, and you do have a conflict of interest.

You use as an argument, that the link is notable enought to be mentioned here. I argue, that that is true, it makes a good reference to attribute content to, and to get content from. However, it is not suitable as an external link .. "...but Wikipedia's purpose is not to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable. ..". Still, that is where these links are mainly appearing. The pages where your links appear, or have been added often contain already long lists of external links to interviews, having your link is not a reason to add more of them (please avoid this argument for adding the link). On other pages the content is meager, and still you choose not to expand the content, but just add your link.

You are clearly involved in the link, our conflict of interest guideline also there strongly suggests you to not include the links yourself, but to discuss before doing that, and preferably let other users add the information for you.

In short, all policies and guidelines on this site suggest you to discuss and to adapt your edit style. Moreover, I see that several editors don't like the way you are commenting on their actions. I would like to ask you to read through our policies and guidelines, and to consider a unblock request where you suggest us on how you think we can come to an agreement (you can use the following text '{{unblock|your reason here}}' to attract our attention). I hope you understand that any other accounts that start adding these links or similar actions will be immediately blocked from editing. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
