Les Balsiger
A tag has been placed on Les Balsiger, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

See also the wikipedia policy on autobiography.

Please don't remove the tag again. Random Passer-by 23:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Eastern Oregon Distance Education Linkspam
Please stop spamming unrelated Wikipedia articles with a link to the distance education program at Eastern Oregon State University. Wikipedia is NOT a directory or a tool for promotion, no matter how well-intentioned your adding the link may be. For further information, read the information from the spam template, below:

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.

Using anonymous IP accounts to try to get around the block
We've recently had two anonymous IP addresses making edits similar to those we warned you about:
 * 12.180.9.131 (talk • contribs • [/wiki/Special:Log/move?user= page moves ] • block user • [/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User: block log ] )
 * 71.111.124.72 (talk • contribs • [/wiki/Special:Log/move?user= page moves ] • block user • [/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User: block log ] )

This does not change the fact that you are editing with a blatant conflict of interest and often adding inappropriate links despite repeated requests to stop. --A. B. (talk) 08:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The openly posted Global Spam Blacklist -- next stop for www.eou.edu? or just www.eou.edu/dde?
Think carefully about how hard you want to push your persistently inappropriate, self-interested editing and linking. The next step is to blacklist the domains you persist in adding links to.

See this discussion of the Global Spam Blacklist for all language versions of Wikipedia. We hate to add organizations such as yours to it. The list is openly posted as you can see and can be crawled by all the major search engines. There are rumors in the spamdexing world that Google and others refer to our blacklist in determining whether to penalize web sites as probable link-spammers in their page rank calculations. Maybe this is true, maybe it's not.

In any event, blacklisting http://www.eou.edu/dde is the next step if necessary. That and possibly a complaint about EOU link-spamming to the university's officially designated point of contact for Internet abuse issues at the Oregon State System of Higher Education. --A. B.
