Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia, as you did in Pizza. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did in Google consultant, you will be blocked from editing. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to the Huddersfield Article have been reveted. Due to containing commercial links. You have been warned before on this aspect of editing. It is pointless you doing it as such edits will always be deleted, usually within minutes. Richard Harvey 16:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about?
I live in Huddersfield and have added links about huddersfield, it is the section about entertainment and I have seen other bands mentioned in other towns and cities, and as it is something I know a bit about here, why am I not allowed to add it - your policies regarding what is commercial and what is not is dependent on who is editing it!!!

I added Google consultant as I didn't know any better, you are now judging every post in the same way

I added metro links as I find them useful! I added band links because I have seen them elsewhere and I know a lot of bands that play regularly in other towns worldwide where the links are deemed as fine, I added train gang links as it's a UNIQUE and cracking night out that doesn't exist anywhere else - now THAT's entertainment! - what do you have a problem with exactly?

want some examples?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutton-on-the-Forest - what the hell is this page about?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_Manchester

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockpit_%28Leeds%29

I can go on with commercial links that have a paragraph that suddenly makes it an article - but if it is a peoples dictionary and people want to look up places to go why shouldn't they be included?

People wouldn't put a section about 'entertainment' then not be allowed to fill it with exactly what it says on the tin!!

also how come the metro link hasn't been removed further down as well if it is 'commercial' and not useful - they offer a useful text service too you know

The council here have also just pioneered an office run on renewable energy but I daren;t post anything about it as it might advertise the council too much or something!

Please discuss properly instead of with the 'you will be removed language' - you are being OTT

Wikipedia
One of the main criteria for wiki is that it is factual and not used to advertise. It is neither a Dictionary nor a Travel or Entertainments guide. There are other websites that cater for that type of item. There is also a requirement not to have very long articles, they become too complex.

Huddersfield has produced quite a few good bands and artists. The Rock and Blues groups alone could fill an article several pages long, as could one about their main pub venue in Lockwood. Therefore it is not really suited to have every group or artist from the town listed. The Huddersfield article is about 'Huddersfield'.

Perhaps if you were to start a seperate article listing the bands or groups from Huddersfield in the same way as the List of Bands from Manchester article, which would then count as an article in its own right. You would need to ensure the band / Band members listed actually came from Huddersfield. and no commercial websites were linked to. For example; Many consider Embrace to be from Huddersfield. However they are not from Huddersfield but from Brighouse therefore would need to be in a different article again. If you feel you have sufficient knowledge of the town groups and artists to do such an article then do so. Other editors would then join in and help you improve the article.

Take a good look at how the individual bands are covered and linked to from the main listing of the Manchester Bands and build on that. Its possible some groups already have individual article pages already. You will also find it best if you stick to groups that are notable and have a history to them ie several records or chart listings in the top 20 or so, otherwise the articles would end up on the Articles for Deletion list as being not noteworthy.

 * Forgot to mention:- the Train Gang group that plays on the Huddersfield - Sheffield evening train. Take a look at Penistone Line, near the bottom of the article, just ripe for your 'non-commercial' edit. Richard Harvey 00:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
