Advertisement Spam
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * The reasonings and discussions stemming from all of your edits has been a consensus that your edits consist of nothing more than advertisements / spam. I will reiterate that Wikipedia is not a directory, and you are advised to consult the guidelines for external links before continuing with this form of vandalism.  If you continue these actions, you will be blocked from Wikipedia.  Should you have edits of a more valuable nature, you may provide such; or discuss on the Talk pages prior to adding in anything that you suspect may be highly controversial -- particularly more external links.  --Thisisbossi 05:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Opps. Sorry.  I got carried away.  I'm not familiar with the rules of the internet.  Hope you noticed the site has no advertisements or even any ways for me to make money.  I'm just a Civil Engineer who bicycles to work and doesn't want to get hit by a car, if everyone else is also safe, saves a few hundred billion dollars, and reduces carbon emissions, that's just gravy.  As of 3:30 pm, PST, December 8, 2006 I'll pay more attention to the rules.


 * Thisisbossi - You appear to have some understanding of both Wikipedia and Transportation Engineering. Hopefully, you recognize the possibilites attributed to Guardian Angel Cars are more real than rounding up hundreds of billions for either 20th Century transit or more road lanes.  You want to help write acceptable entries for Wikipedia?  Suggest something, I'll write, you edit and post.  I don't care who gets credit.  Might be best to e-mail me, 'case I'm not back here again.

 * Thank you for your courteous response -- most people would have been quite the opposite; and admittedly mine was not the friendliest, either. Hopefully sometime this weekend I will read up on the Guardian Angel technology and see if I can write it in such a way that it appears to be less of an advertisement.


 * You are welcome to try to edit, as well, to include information relating to the technology, but just be aware that a number of people tend to be watching out for your edits at the moment, so even useful edits may be reverted without people paying too much attention to them. Additionally, as your username is very similar to the product at which you were referring to, it is yet another "red flag", of sorts, that draws attention to a potential conflict of interest.


 * If you do wish to try and write something yourself, I recommend that you stick more to what the technology itself is capable of rather than specifically referring to Guardian Angel. I am sure that there are numerous other companies, universities, and public agencies working on very similar technologies -- reducing the need to specify Guardian Angel.  If, however, there is something that is truly unique to Guardian Angel, you may wish to clarify it on the article's Talk page prior to editing -- otherwise you will likely continue to be reverted.


 * Sorry if any of this sounds harsh, but I want to try and reduce the amount of reverts other make whilst also reducing any aggravation that you may have with everyone reverting your edits.


 * Lastly, to automatically place linked signatures, just type four tilde marks in a row: ~ . Or, alternatively, there is a button in the toolbar at the top of an edit page which will automatically place the signature.  I have added some info to the top of your Talk page which may be helpful in orienting yourself in the sometimes-rude realm of Wikipedia editing.  Cheers! --Thisisbossi 02:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thisisbossi - I don't even know how to leave you a note on your "my talk" page. Actually the important message of the Guardian Angel site is "Do a civilian CHALLENGE version of the DARPA Grand & Urban Challenges." Second, "Use the technology advantages to adjust highway accessability rules to encourage technology purchase and improved fuel economy." There are also a lot of calculations to quantify benefits. The technology itself is in bits and pieces all over the place and I expect the technology will adjust to meet the CHALLENGE. GrdnAngel 18:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
