Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. ''The website you are adding is a personal website and should not be added either as an external link or a source, see WP:ELNO and WP:RS. It also appears that you have a conflict of interest in regards to the website.'' Dougweller (talk) 06:43, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You appear to be here solely to promote your views and your website. Dougweller (talk) 15:52, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

To: Dougweller (talk): in the page about the rotation of earth, I quoted from a book which is not otherwise easily accessible to Wiki readers; it is not my view but an ancient text that adds to the knowledge about this topics; I have noticed that you have deleted all the other inclusions I made in other pages (mostly as links to External Pages, in truth, but they seemed relevant to the topic that Wiki readers would be interested in by reading these pages); can you explain your deletions more precisely? thanks


 * Why would you call the Seder Olam Rabbah inaccessible? An English translation is here, easy enough to find. If you have independent sources that discuss this and meet our criteria at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS it might be possible to use those. But not links to your blog or direct quotes from the document. Dougweller (talk) 13:01, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

To: Dougweller (talk): Doug, the quote I had posted on the rotation of the Earth had nothing to do with Seder Olam Rabbah or my blog (you can remove the reference to my blog if you wish); it is from the book called the Zohar, not easily accessible indeed; I indicated the exact chapter and reference for those who can access the Zohar; for most people who don't, the text of this extract was posted on my blog, but, if this breaks the Wiki rules, then sorry and it can be removed; I am working on the Seder Olam revision of the chronology which has many discrepancies with historical facts (for example the known date of destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar); there has been no work (to my knowledge) to revise this ancient work, so this is the goal of my web site; another example is from Christian translations of the Bible which were based on the original Greek or Latin manuscripts, or mis-translations from the Hebrew: they got it wrong about the date of the Exodus (which caused 1500 years of repeated mistakes and wrong assumptions) and I explained in details in the web site; you can well see from the site www.seder-olam.info that I am not promoting a book to sell nor any advertisement; I am only promoting knowledgeabout the original texts and trying to raise the issues that caused the known discrepancies between the Biblical text and the actual historical chronologies (Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, etc.); I also always indicate the full source of the extracts I mention, so it is not just my opinion as someone else mentioned here; but, if you feel this is no interest for the Wiki readers who do some search on these chronological/historical topics, then so be it; it's a shame though. Take care. Albert


 * Hi Albert. Thanks for your friendly response. You may underestimate our editors when you say the Zohar is not easily accessible, they seem to have found links, see WP:ZOHAR. The issue is more about sources - I have you a link to our policy on verifiability, and here's another - WP:NOR. In a nutshell, Wikipedia is not a place for new ideas - not until they've been picked up and discussed by reliable sources as we define them. Maybe someday that will happen and then it will belong here. All the best. Dougweller (talk) 15:35, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Albertuk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Albertuk~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
