User talk:Judeeclare

Hi. I recently submitted a useful link to be added to the external links of the wiki article entitled "newspaper." I haven't received a reply, and it seems that I've been blocked as a spammer.

I have carefully read your guidelines. It clearly says NO linking to sites that promote a service or a product. However, many of your approved links take the visitor directly to a promoted product. One example is http://www.newspaperarchive.com/, which quite clearly an online store. Mind you, I'm not trying to get these people in trouble, and their excellent website seems to me like an appropriate link for the wiki 'Newspaper' article.

I am only pointing out the inconsistencies in enforcing your guidelines.

www.top50states.com is FREE and sells NOTHING. It's just a solid educational website with accurate facts and relevant statistical info, some of which is not available anywhere else on the net. The site does display Google ads, but so do about 90% of all the websites on the internet.

Anyway, I hope you'll consider unblocking me, as I have no idea why I was labeled a spammer in the first place. I've contributed to dozens of wiki articles in all kinds of subjects without including a link.

Thank you.

Initially, I tried to place several links, not fully understanding wiki guidelines at the time, and somehow not noticing or fully understanding the warnings. I realized too late that I should have read the guidelines more thoroughly. When I explained this to an editor, he/she was unsympathetic and (in my opinion) unreasonable, so I spoke my mind. I don't recall exactly what I wrote, but I'm quite sure it wasn't anything too severe. Are you telling me I can no longer edit wiki because one of your editors got his feelings hurt? I just want to be clear about this. Is THIS the reason for my being blocked? Not because I'm a spammer, but because I'm being punished? Because if so, with all due respect, suck it up and get over it.
