Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as UK Fiesta Network) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. DarkSaber2k 08:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

In response to your recent edit, it was not my intention to offend. Your edits were reverted in strict agreement with Wikipedia policy on libel and neutral point of view. There are some important points about wikipedia policy that every editor must learn:


 * 1) If you are making a potentially controversial comment about a person or organisation, you must provide a reference, or someone will revert your edit.
 * 2) Wikipedia is not a soapbox - you cannot use it to directly give people advice.  A forum is better for that.  You can however, present proper references and let the reader decide for themselves.
 * 3) You must adhere strictly to neutral point of view - all articles must present all significant views evenly and fairly.  It's perfectly acceptable to have a "criticism" section but it must have proper references, must be written in an unbiased way, and the other point of view must be expressed too.
 * 4) By posting on Wikipedia, your remarks about UKFN become part of the wikipedia community.  Also, because of privacy, the UKFN would be unable to find you and sue you.  The wikipedia community however, polices itself, and will remove such comments before it ever reaches that stage.
 * 5) Articles about companies that do not state the notability of the company will be speedily deleted.  Please don't recreate them without stating notability.
 * 6) Please don't write notes to other editors on article pages.  Instead, go to the user's talk page and leave notes there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you want any more info about anything to do with Wikipedia, ask me on my talk page. There's loads to be done here, so I hope you have fun with it. Happy editing! - Alex valavanis 09:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing my links to articles on weighing scales page which have value and are not spam.

Removing my links
Hi Drew

Just because they are links to a commercial site does not make them irrelavant. The links are to useful information which many people have followed up on and the low bounce rate indicates that the users are not jumping from the site but are actually sticking around and reading the articles.

If you look through wikipedia you will find many links to 'commercial' site as is the nature of the web.

As to 'being obvious with what I am trying to accomplish', wikipedia links are 'nofollow' are therefore do not anything to our site in terms of SEO, they are there purely to give useful information to peopel interested in weighing scales and balances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulleggett (talk • contribs) 08:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
