Your edits to a.o. Alfred Aho


Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively 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 for advertising or promotion. 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC) If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't agree with you. What we both are trying to do, is to provide free and rich content to the user. There are many sites, which contain ads, but not all of them contain content :-) Tell me, if you think TOC and review doesn't make a link valuable enough and I will remove it by myself.

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 the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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.

What you are doing at the moment is spamming, if you were enriching this encyclopedia, you would be adding content, please review 'wikipedia is not a linkfarm', 'wikipedia is not an internet directory', 'the external links guideline', 'conflict of interest guideline'. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Arbitration
Did you even bother reading how things work here? Firstly, we don't want your spam. Secondly, arbitration is the last step in the dispute resolution process. John Reaves 20:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thoughts from AGK
Here are some thoughts I had authored to post to the RfAr thread. (I do nonetheless support John's removal of the thread from WP:Requests for arbitration.)

 This issue is not suitable for consideration by the Arbitration Committee. I would suggest that this issue be taken to the administrators' noticeboard, if even that was warranted, for discussion there on the removal. The link being removed by Beestra, however, seems to be to be a link unsuitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. This utility may be of guidance to you, SPTWriter, in explaining why Beestra removed the link.

In future, I would discourage filing a Request for Arbitration for a matter as trivial as this. The Committee is the last port of call, when the community has repeatedly failed to resolve a matter, for matters like this—not the first port of call, before it has even had a chance to sort out this mess.

Just relax a little when editing, and consider that perhaps the "other side" may actually be correct, SPTWriter. No need to file a RfAr because of a few link removals. That's not productive editing, really.

(As an aside, I would discourage you, SPTWriter, from editing articles related to your website. See also, WP:COI, which expands on the argument against editing articles you are professionally connected with.)

Hope this helps. AGK 20:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick note
If I find one more link to your site on Wikipedia then I will blacklist it. Just so you know. Guy (Help!) 23:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below. ➨ ❝ ЯEDVERS ❞ a sweet and tender hooligan 23:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I do respect wikipedia rules and won't break them again. But I don't wanna hear the threats directed against my website, like: "If I find one more link to your site on Wikipedia then I will blacklist it." My resource don't need wikipedia for promotion. At the same time I hope, that one day editors from wiki will appraise my efforts creating free knowledge and the links to my website will appear here again. Good luck!
