Inappropriate removal of link (review link spam)
Dear Wibble,
I've added a review to the list of reviews present in the Nokia N70 page and I don't see why you removed it. The review was a relevant "hands-on" of the phone. I don't understand why links to "some" reviews are Ok and others arent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.179.26 (talk) 09:38, 13 February 2007
- This was blatant spam, added to a great many articles. "some" added links are okay, and some are spam being added to lots of articles. You edits were the latter, and if you continue to spam wikipedia you are likely to be blocked. Wibbble 23:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Why would a link to a legitimate N70 Review would be a blattant SPAM, compared to the reviews that you deem OK to be there? (CNET, Mobile Review, All about symbian). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.179.26 (talk) 19:59, 15 February 2007
- You added links to the same site to many articles at once. This makes it spam. If you disagree, bring up the link in the talk page of the article and allow an uninvolved editor re-add it if appropriate. Do you claim that all the links that you added were 'legitimate'? The one on the Nokia N70 was not the only one I reverted.
- Beyond that, most mobile phone articles have too many review links on them anyway, and adding more is not required, especially for articles on handsets which are not new.
- Finally, please sign any comments you leave, as per WP:SIG Wibbble 22:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- As long as the added links are relevant, I don't see why it should be considered as "spamming". If you think that one of my link is not legitimate, let's discuss about it instead of mass-reverting all my edits. From what you say, it looks like reviews are added on a "first-come first-served basis". This sounds like "land grabbing" and I don't think that it raises the quality of the content. I'll create an account and sign. Thanks for the advice. 18:26, 15 February 2007 (PT) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.213.198.25 (talk) 02:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
