http://www.127sale.com/ <--- Commercial Site on garage sales http://www.route50.com/yardsale.html < Commercial #2 on garage sale

So how are we different ? Is it we are canadian owned ? or whats the difference ? Seems to me if a site looks terrible its ok, but because I put time and effort into it, it is spam ? Nonsense, don't bother, I will simply post our incident on my site and explain that in a free country, I am still being discriminated against and that your site practices unfair oppourtunity and are manipulating commerce and competition in a free market, I wanted to post the same as the other posts in the same section, there is no difference, they have ads and everything we do, so its blatent discrimination. That is all. To me it is disgusting you treat people this way.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Garage sale‎‎. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. CliffC (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Garage sale‎‎. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

lISTEN i AM NOT TRYING TO SPAM, it is a legit link, can you please fix it so it shows ? Further there are reference links to other garage sale sites on wikipedia, I just want ours listed.


 * You need to follow the blue links you have been given and read the material there; see also How not to be a spammer. If you continue spamming external links to your site, you may be blocked from editing and your site blacklisted.  --CliffC (talk) 18:47, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Then explain why there are external links to other garage sale sites please ? Trying to understand how mine is spam when it offers a legit service. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordkillgore (talk • contribs)


 * Those sites seem to be community sales, with some informative text included in the article. I have not looked closely at every one of them but please keep in mind that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is never a valid argument for inclusion.  We are all volunteers here and not every problem will be noticed and addressed.  Your link is quite obviously to a commercial site, with the goal of driving users there, not improving the encyclopedia.  --CliffC (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * We are not commercial, it is 100%free for people, we charge a fee for businesses to provide fair competition for people. It is 100% free, Freecycle = Free, Classifieds = Free, Garage sales = Free, membership = Free .... we advertise to afford the site, I am not making money on this trust me, I kust lost my job a few months back, I am doing this to try and make a living, but I ethically will never charge another person trying to make a living.  It is 100% for people, Commercial must pay, thats it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordkillgore (talk • contribs)


 * I'm sorry you lost your job, but Wikipedia is not the place to advertise your site. Follow all those blue links above and you'll understand why your link is unacceptable.  I won't be replying here any further.  Good luck, CliffC (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
