Presentationtek.com spam links
Are these spam links your only contribution? Please don't put them back after I get done undoing them. Dicklyon 02:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

No spam links are not my only contribution - I've now removed my contributions as detailed below.

information about GPS guided parachude delivery systems Updated article with fact that Three GLONASS GPS satellites sucessfully launched in Dec 2006 Added manufaturers adopting new chipset Added MicroDisplay as a single LCoS micro display panel provider Added paragraph on Actuality Systems - example of rotating panel 3D display Added section on 3LCD technology and links to two resources on topic Added Nano 50 award win, NED is Motorola's term Added section overviewing Interactive Displays/Whiteboards

If you consider links to comercial sites to be spam even if they offer researched and relevant information then you should also start deleting links to sites such as those below which are commercial also.

Delete GPS drop info?
I saw you deleted the GPS guided drop info. Since you're the editor who added that content I'm curious why you removed it. - Davandron | Talk 13:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Couple of Reasons
Editor User:Dicklyon removed all links to relevant articles (none based on a particular product) that I had placed in various Display Technology and GPS Technology Sections. The couple of sites I have do have advertising but, no more than say GPS World which has some links to it in various places in GPS Wiki Sections.


 * Right. It's pretty much verboten, according to WP:EL, for you to link your own site.  It's called conflict of interest, and it's something all wikipedia editors should fight, because otherwise it becomes overwhelming, because everyone has their own interest.  So I took them all out.  That doesn't mean your other contributions aren't welcome, or that you can't mention the site on the talk page and see if other editors think it's worth them adding as ext links.  Just don't add them yourself, when they're to a site that you have an interest in. Dicklyon 06:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

If you are able to take the time to look at presentationtek.com and gpstekreviews.com you will see that there is large proportion of articles focusing solely on the science/technology rather than products. Posts are all orignal and researched - not simply brief abstracts and links to others work. Rather than review products as a testing only activity, I focus on explaining as simply as possible for visitors what the technology behind the products are. You certainly don't get such background from a store sales assistants. I particularly recall one Wikipedia visitor comment on a Gamma Correction article in which she was most happy that she had finally understood what it meant and if you look at how long and complicated the Wiki article on this topic is you will see how she might have had problems. You will also find that the each site also covers emerging technologies which show promise.

In regard to the particular GPS guided drop article... I think it is a vary promising application of GPS technology. In particular, I can imagine that food aid agencies might find the technology very beneficial having to deliver food/aid in dangerous war torn regions often with challenging terrain. I don't know why this information is not considered of value but, I finished the job and removed the information I added in association with the more detailed article link - as I have with other information I contributed to various Wiki pages.

Another example of a contribution I removed is Electronic Overlays for Flat Panel Displays. This technology allows a flat panel display to be converted to an Interactive Whiteboard possibly providing both cost and functionality advantages. The article I linked to explained the technology and its features in more detail. It seemed to be relevant and useful information to me.

I'm fully aware that Wiki editors need to guard against spam and can understand deleting some links if they are considered not to contribute anything of interest or excessive in number but, it seems like a blanket approach has been made in this case.


 * When most of an editor's contributions contain links to one or a few sites, a conflict of interest can generally be assumed, and then only a blanket removal makes sense. In particular, it's nothing about you or your site, which I just glanced at.  I do this for spammers often. Dicklyon 06:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Suggestion: why not just add your material to the wikipedia article? Read WP:EL about this. Dicklyon 06:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
