A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ars Regendi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

Please read Wikipedia's policy on WP:LINKSPAM; and I can see now that an article on Ars Regendi has already been deleted through AfD, in which the notability guidelines WP:Notability were pointed out. As for "my game", note that at no point have I tried to promote it in article space. Marasmusine (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Start en1.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:Start en1.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.--McGeddon (talk) 09:06, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

AR is a serious game and is absolutely fitting to the article! Malone70 (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

AR is a serious game and is absolutely fitting to the article! Malone70 (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Please also care about the other links! Malone70 (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits, such as this edit you made to Government simulation game. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing without  further notice. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

As I did not get a message about this warning - Wiki obviously does not provide such a useful feature - I did simply not notice that. Malone70 (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below. Peter 10:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi ***,

oh well I don't expect that you even care about my block. Because regarding the licentious editing by some people without even giving a reason I am sure that Wikipedia as a whole does not care about justice at all. And additionally, it doesn't care about the usefulness of entries. Ars Regendi is more than any other of the listed games a government simulation game, we received a lot of interested users, and why is it removed? Because one single user likes to exert his power, and as he has contributed more than me you don't even consider whose entries have to be edited or who should be blocked. You block me because I changed the article three times for good reasons (and giving a reason!), even when I already stopped to do so. I think it's ok when you block me for editing the article --- until this issue has been discussed. But: with this block I can't even discuss anymore. I am not even able to play in the sandbox. Lol. Well, I think I know why you don't let me discuss: you can be sure anyway that no matter what I write one of your guidelines is fulfilled. When I argue that Ars Regendi is useful and meets all criteria to be listed under government simulation games, you put out your notability criteria. So, any other game that made more advertising than AR can fulfill your notability criteria because when it got enough users some possibly corrupt journal will report about it. So - ridiculously - even Ikariam is listed under GOVERNMENT simulation games... Ok, and when I argue that the article is full of linkings to non-relevant games - for only one reason: they have been simply lucky that nobody complained - and it would be more than fair if AR is listed too, you put out your Gofishing guideline (which even accuses the user globally of NON SOCIAL BEHAVIOR! LOL). So you can be absolutely sure that no entry from non-big-business companies will contaminate your empire with useful hints. It must be a paradise for tin-pot dictators. When you have still something called conscience you should at least let me discuss further in order that I can tell my opinion.

Kindest, Marc

Malone70 (talk) 12:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Forget about it. There was no hint - besides here - that the block will last 24 hours. So I thought it is permanent. Malone70 (talk) 12:49, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I simply deleted other advertisings from the article as McGeddon did... Malone70 (talk) 12:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have now cut the other links from the section. You were correct to delete them; your ban was for aggressively reverting the edits of another user, not for removing the links. --McGeddon (talk) 12:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Anyway, my entry has been absolutely neutral. When you think it was not, you can edit it or discuss with me. Malone70 (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

@McGeddon: thanks, now at least my sense of justice is satisfied. Even though is not good for the users, because many of them won't find the way to useful games like AR. Malone70 (talk) 12:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Haha, and Ikariam is still listed there... Malone70 (talk) 13:01, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
Can I ask what your connection is to the Ars Regendi game? It seems that every single one of your edits since 2008 has been to try to promote the game - if you're just an enthusiastic fan, that's fine, but if you have any direct connection to the game itself, you should be aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines before promoting it any further. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 07:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
