User talk:Morgandude

Please do not conduct conversations by making null edits to articles and using the edit summary to converse, as you did at Morgan Motor Company. You should also assume good faith - of course I read the links before removing them. None of them meet our guidelines on external links, and they clearly breach our policy on what Wikipedia is not.

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. Since 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 article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Gwernol 13:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

- Frankly, the talk page is difficult to manage. Do you have instructions?

I add links reflecting the character of those already there and that you have permitted, with the certainty that those interested in Morgans will want the information directed to...AND that there is no advertising present at any data linked to. With respect, we have seen that you are apparently not familiar enough with the subject (Morgans) to determine what follows the Wikipedia rules or not. That is not helping those seeking knowledge or wikipedia in this subject head.

I am trying to help. There is not one link or information I have posted that can be construed as benefiting me at all. The only clear guide one can have from you is what you allow from others.

For example, if you allow someone to add a community news source, it will be assumed that community news sources are allowed. For example, I saw a news source you allowed, so I added another known to have the most traffic. If you allow others to post links to forums, we assume that forum links are allowed ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_4/4 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_%2B4 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_LIFEcar ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morgandude (talk • contribs)


 * The issue is whether the links meet Wikipedia's rules which you can find at WP:EL. I can assure you I m very familiar with the Wikipedia rules in this area. The issue is not whether people interested in Morgans will want the information in the links. For a start, you are not in a position to make this judgment. Second, the issue is whether the links benefit the Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not a link farm. There are plenty of other places where people interested in finding links to Morgan content can and should go.
 * The only guideline that matters is Wikipedia's. Just because an article already has a link that breaks the rules does not permit you to break those rules. I will happily remove illegitimate links from those other articles, but please don't try to argue that those links somehow justify you breaking the rules. They don't.

Ok Understood. How about misinformation? For example, I just noticed that someone removed the previous and present Chairman of the company from the top box on the right and added a fictitious name "Andrew Morgan" (no one of that name has ever had any connection with the Morgan company past or present). Does one leave it like that until someone in your position figures it out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morgandude (talk • contribs)


 * No, anyone can edit articles. If you find something that is wrong, you are welcome to revert it. Gwernol 01:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I shall try. Thank you for patience
