 * It is true that a link from Wikipedia to an external site may drive Web traffic to that site. But in line with Wikipedia policies, you should avoid linking to a site that you own, maintain, or represent—even if WP guidelines seem to imply that it may otherwise be linked. When in doubt, you may go to the talk page and let another editor decide. This suggestion is in line with WP's conflict-of-interest guidelines.


 * A few parties now appear to have a spambot capable of spamming wikis from several different wiki engines, analogous to the submitter scripts for guestbooks and blogs. If you see a bot inserting external links, please consider checking the other language wikis to see if the attack is widespread. If it is, please report it on Meta; they can put in a Wikimedia-wide text filter. Sysops will block unauthorized bots on sight.

Copyright violation
I removed some recent additions that were more or less just pasted in from their own website. Now I am finding other, smaller, chunks that look like they were copied from other sites. I hope the whole thing isn't cobbled together out of other people's stuff! --DanielRigal (talk) 23:34, 31 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I have reduced the score on Earwig's Copyvio Detector from 51% to 2.9%. Lets see if we can keep it down there. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:58, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
