User talk:Esauvage

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:
 * some General guidance.
 * Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 08:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC).

Spam
User:Esauvage is a plus-hotel.com linkspammer:

He's adding links like this "Map of Berlin areas" here. These maps pretend to be useful, but mostly their info is contained elsewhere in the articles. Besides, they're copyrighted. They're linked onclick like this.

Actually I want him/her/it blocked, but I don't know a template for this. His contributions should be deleted, his IP blocked - if static ...and the plus-hotel shall be burned down. Is there a filter to prevent the string plus-hotel.com from being entered into articles? --tickle me 09:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Response from Esauvage:
 * Yr comment is not fair.
 * If you look at my pages, you can see two things:
 * 1. I have made the map pages without heads and bottoms. So I do not show brands or hotels.
 * 2. I bring valuable informations regarding areas, as I took some time to build those maps.


 * So please reconsider my contributions before talking spaming.
 * Contributions from business like mine may not be always consider as an ugly move to get lure people.


 * Think before shooting please.


 * If someone finally decide to burn, block or what else, just proceed. The world is full of masters of orthodoxia. So why not so called gardians of Wiki. Too bad for everybody.


 * Esauvage, I'm going to give you another chance here. What you've been doing - adding links to your hotel chain to the articles, and nothing else - seriously looks like spam, and spam is a virulent poison on the Internet. I will grant you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you didn't realize that what you were doing is wrong. However, now you know.


 * If you linkspam more articles, I will block you. You're welcome to try doing more productive things, though. DS 14:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I am wondering, as you took some time to build those maps, if you would upload the images of the maps and give them an appropriate licence, so they can be put to even better use? Alf melmac 21:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * @Esauvage:
 * as I took some time to build those maps...: not even enough to remove Microsoft's copyright notice...
 * Your edits are not welcomed neither by admins nor other users, your links are constantly removed while you continue reverting deletions, knowing that you shouldn't: That's bordering on vandalism.
 * I have made the map pages without heads and bottoms. So I do not show brands or hotels...: True, but you do link to them.
 * Finally, to end sophisms: There's wikitravel to provide this kind of information - explicitely to prevent businesses to travel on wiki's trails.
 * Think before shooting please...: Will do.
 * You're welcome to try doing more productive things...: Indeed
 * Contributions from business like mine may not be always consider as an ugly move to get lure people...: Arguably true, but you'll have to try better to reconcile your and wikipedia's agenda.
