Asking for Advice
Hi Mr. Apparition11,

I recently made a citation in the Greeting Card article. However, it was removed and was tagged as disruptive editing. I apologize if it seemed to be the case, the intent isn't the same at all.

My name is Shaun and I work for www.altenew.com. We are a scrapbooking and a paper crafting company. Our goal with Wikipedia is to contribute to the existing articles where we also have relevant content from our website. It is our desire to inspire people and to suggest creative ideas to anything scrapbooking/paper crafting.

Good sir, may we ask what would be a best practice in order for our goal to be achieved without our content/citations removed or be seen as spammy? We kindly ask for your advice and we will be grateful for any information you may share with us. Please feel free to reach out to us with the email below.

Thank you kindly.

Best,

Shaun Ray Galotera shaun@altenew.com

 * The first thing you need to do is to read WP:PAID. The next step would be to stop adding links to that site. It is not a reliable source or appropriate external link. Sorry that you may not see it this way, but if your goal is to add links to your company to Wikipedia, that is pretty much what we consider textbook spam. The final step would be to start adding content using reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

 * Thank you for replying so promptly and for pointing me to the right direction. At least now we have some basis to work with, that helps a lot. Thank you. Shaunraygalotera (talk) 13:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

External link add
Hi Mr. Apparition11,

I recently add external article link on Battery management system. However, it was removed and was tagged as disruptive editing. I apologize if it seemed to be the case, the intent isn't the same at all.

My name is Aditya and I work for bacancytechnology.com. We are a leading BMS manufacturer in India and I thought the components BMS is missing in the article, by adding this external link you can add more content value for reader.

Good sir, may we ask what would be a best practice in order for our goal to be achieved without our content/citations removed or be seen as spammy? We kindly ask for your advice and we will be grateful for any information you may share with us. Please feel free to reach out to us with the email below.

Thank you kindly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya3181 (talk • contribs) 11:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Your first step is that you must comply with WP:PAID. We don't generally link to company blogs. Frankly, if your goal is to add links to your company, then that goal is not welcome here. If you wish to help Wikipedia, the best thing you can do is to use your knowledge of the field to add content that is back by reliable, published, third party sources.

Wikipedia Link
Hi,

My link from Wikipedia has been removed. The link was leading to a blog with relevant information about television advertising. I would request you to please do have a look once again & make it active. Sanjay7503 (talk) 05:17, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Blogs are links we want to avoid, see WP:ELNO. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 10:08, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Link Removed by You
Hi, Hope you are fine and doing great i have placed relivant links that are removed kindly review and let the link to serve this community Jamshaid-Arshad1 (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That link is about as blatant violation of WP:EL as one can get. It serves no encyclopedic purpose and has no place in Wikipedia. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 00:43, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

why you removed the link?
I have added a link to Photo manipulation section but you have removed them. I Just want to know why you did that?

Link: https://picsfast.com/photo-manipulation/ Adilsayeedparadox (talk) 11:36, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The link exists solely to sell a service making it a prime example of a link to avoid. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 11:40, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Text revomed
Hi Apparition11, I recently added some text to the Kick Scooter and added citations. However, it was removed. My apologies if it breaks the rules, but that wasn't the intent at all. I am a scooter fan and I browsed the page of kick scooter and found that the introduction of electric scooters only added rental scooters, but there are still many independent brands, such as Segway, Gotrax, Turboant and other scooter brands. Just adding some citations as I'm a newbie and would like to figure out how to contribute. Because I found out that this page has a reference to add a citation for Gotrax and it is not removed. I think this is doable. But I still want to hear more suggestions from you. Claybox (talk) 01:48, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello. Basically, a company's website is not a reliable, independent source. The Gotrax reference was not appropriate either, so I went ahead and removed it. I also removed several non-notable companies from the opening of current manufacturers. Companies generally shouldn't be included in lists unless they have a preexisting article. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 02:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Does this work if I just add the relevant text without any citations. Claybox (talk) 02:43, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, the content needs to be cited, hence why I removed Gotrax the and other non-notable companies. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 03:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * OK,thank you so much. Claybox (talk) 03:12, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Fixed The Dead Link But You Reverted
Hi there,

I have serious concerns on your moderator role. I recently fixed a broken external link on Fiverr page. The link added was 100% similar and had more quality content than the previous one. Is this wrong to fix dead links on Wikipedia. If you did this by mistake please reconsider your decision to revert my changes. AamirZahoorSEO (talk) 13:12, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as a "moderator role" on Wikipedia. See WP:DEADLINK for what to do about dead links. Basically, if the dead link is reliable, then repair it using an archive. If it is not reliable, it' be best to replace it with a reliable source. Otherwise, replacing it with a citation needed tag would be fine. If no reliable sources exist to support the content, the content it was referencing may need to be removed. Replacing it with your blog is not an acceptable solution.

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks! I appreciate that a lot! Cheers! Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 11:09, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

How can I add?
Please tell me, how can I add a link to my website from Wikipedia? my website is https://www.cosmeticsgears.com/ Cosmeticsgears (talk) 19:39, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please don't. Wikipedia is not an avenue for advertising. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 19:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

If Wikipedia is not an avenue of advertising. Then why there are so many links refering to different websites Atifrather1 (talk) 12:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * See WP:EL and WP:RS for appropriate links. There are plenty of inappropriate links on Wikipedia that need to be removed. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that want to abuse Wikipedia for their own benefit and volunteer time is limited. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 12:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

You removed my link from the reference list but there are other links also, why don't you remove those links also Atifrather1 (talk) 12:11, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I removed your blog from 5 different articles, often in the actual header. If the articles have other inappropriate links, feel free to remove them. As to why, I explained that in my last reply. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 12:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

You mean I add inappropriate links, and others are adding usefull links. How do you differentiate between links. You are biased, you don't remove other links because they are from the famous websites it doesn't matter whether the are appropriate or not. They just follow a brand Atifrather1 (talk) 12:20, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Again, my first reply contained links to explain what type of links are appropriate. My second admitted that inappropriate links exist. It is not about being "famous", but aboout being reliable. I am biased towards inappropriate external links, unreliable sources, and people just wanting to advertise their own websites. If you are just going to complain about not being able to spam your blog, please stop wasting my time. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 12:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay. Can you tell me what type of links are appropriate Atifrather1 (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Read the links in the first reply or my previous reply. Since I've already answered all of this, I am done replying to you. Good day. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 12:36, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
