Self-promotional links on various blog articles
Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Chris Cunningham 10:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Apropos the above
I have also noticed your adding links to your own site, which carries advertising and from which users can order products related to the interview subjects. This is in addition to the conflict of interest issue noted above. Also, your formatting is contrary to WP:CITE, and singles out our site self-promotionally. I concur with the editor above, and asking you to please halt. While the occasional self-link might or might not be harmless, the wholesale linking to your own site violates Wikipedia guidelines and spirit. Thank you for understanding. --Tenebrae 03:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please note that three editors (User:Mhking, User:Vgranucci, and User:Salamurai, that last in April) besides Chris Cunningham and myself, have joined the consensus, having deleted one of this series of links, citing linkspam or self-promotion. In fact, from looking at User:Andelman's contributions, it appears that the only edits he has made to Wikipedia are to promote either his book or his website. --Tenebrae 03:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Understood. I held off making any additions after the original note. It's not my intention to upset the Wiki rules or intent. But then I noticed a number of listings for TV.com, which didn't seem much different than what I posted, so I went with their style. I have also noticed that a large number of external Wikipedia links go to pages with ads these days; hard to imagine how you can get quality content links without them these days. I would also point out that the links I have added have been strong and deep in content related to the topics, offering unique additional resources. I will discontinue posting links back to Mr. Media, but it does feel like you're singling me out over bureacracy rather than content, which is unfortunate when so many of the external sites on these same pages are far less content-oriented than Mr. Media. But I will respect your directions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andelman (talk • contribs)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cleveland Wheeler


A tag has been placed on Cleveland Wheeler, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Praxidicae (talk) 16:01, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
