User talk:Finejon

Dear Finejon, Wikipedia does not allow link spam, so I had to remove all your edits. As I'm a nice guy, I'm not going to submit your company's URL to the public list of Wikispammers, as long as you stop doing it. Please feel free to contribute real information to Wikipedia. --Heron 20:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry
Dear Heron,

I would like to start by saying sorry.

I apolosize for breaking your rules, I can honestly say that I thought that providing specific links on the actual specific products/subjects was allowed. I wrongly assumed that having several links created in a day wasn't going to be classed as spamming.

Again I re-iterate my apology and wonder if you can advise on how I can write content or new article say on "regulators" and provide a link whilst keeping to the Wikipedia rules. Am I allowed to write new articles with links or only without.

Any help will be much appreciated and please don't consider me as a spammer I was just working really hard today in promoting my bosses company.

Regards,

FineJon


 * Thank you for being reasonable, FineJon. There's a fine line between spamming and providing informative links. If you do nothing but insert links to your company then you are bound to raise suspicion. When I followed some of your links, I found pages listing products but no technical data, although I am sure that there is technical data to be had on your site somewhere.


 * Please read our style guide on external links, and note the recommendation against "sites that primarily exist to sell products or services". However, there are many such links on Wikipedia, and you just have to judge whether the readers of the article will find a particular link useful. When I'm writing about products that my employer makes, I make it a point of principle never to link to my company, because that would diminish my credibility. If my company's website really is that great, then somebody else will link to it, and I won't be accused of spamming. To summarise, I'm afraid there is really no ethical way that you can add links to your own website. I'm sorry that I had to undo all your hard work, but I think any other Wikipedian would have done the same. Best wishes, --Heron 23:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposed: Control valve cavitation → Flow control valve
It has been proposed to merge the content of Control valve cavitation into Flow control valve. Since you have previously edited one of these articles, I thought you might be interested. You're welcome to participate in the discussion if you like. --B. Wolterding 14:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
