Case modding edits again?

Why where the good examples of hard drive mods and laptop mods removed?

How is it considered site promotion when they are being used as the ONLY examples of this type of thing?

Also if you look at the history the edit/addition of the examples was approved by Venoir (spelling might be wrong on his name)

I find it interesting that you didn't remove the link to computer-choppers.com; I suspect you are at least somewhat affiliated with this site due to the fact that you have submitted three stories to digg from that site. Are you? Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 00:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Is there something wrong with editing the case modding page?


 * The examples are a matter of opinion. I find that whenever someone edits the case modding entry they like to promote their work/site rather than give a good professional example.  I fell for that when I first started on wiki not too long ago and for that reason, someone else removed the link to computers choppers.  I didn't put it up again because I saw that they were right in removing it.  There's no real reason to have it there.  Instead I began to add helpful information rather than a lot of external linking to sites that have 80% advertisements and 20% content.  I saw in the page history that there was a huge problem with external linking to random websites so I now try to keep my external links to a minimum.  While I'm in no way perfect at this editing thing, I'm more than happy to listen to what others have to say about my edits.  I consider myself a professional in the realm of customizing and modification of computers.  So if something looks like a bad example or someone simply added example after example from the same website, I'd consider that more promotion than help.  If you were paying attention to the history would you probably noticed there's a lot of people flying by here just to post their links and be gone.  I'd prefer if they were to add something, they back it up with coherent thought rather than just link after link to their work.


 * I didn't notice the approval of the links though so I probably removed them without much thought.


 * I'm open to suggestions if I'm wrong in doing so. I'm still pretty wet behind the ears as far as editing wiki goes so any tips would be great. -Qtip42

I thought by adding a section about laptop modding and an example that it would be helpful information. And I was just putting the hard drive mod link back, as that same hard drive mod has been removed and replaced again numerous times now, but whatever it's now your page


 * Well I'm not trying to make enemies here, if you'd like to put it back up you're more than welcome to. As far as being professional or not, I felt the links weren't quite up to par with a proper guide on how to paint and/or add in a window to a drive.  There are many people that have done them and some guides are more helpful than others.  I'd prefer to find the most detailed guide on the subject and post it as to help any newcomers to the modding community.  Once again, if it's that big of a deal, you're more than welcome to repost them.  However the wiki page would lose credibility if I were not to fight for the absolute best (and thorough) example of each topic. -Qtip42 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Qtip42 (talk • contribs).
