 * This is crazy! No matter what I do online, I always use this nickname. It was my nick years before the website was developed based on this nick. I don't like using my own name online. As I have been telling Ohnoitsjamie, I have read the rules and I know I was not wrong with the Surah links, no matter what anyone says. However I have agreed to refrain from adding more links. Please unblock me

Comment You were warned twice for spamming from an anon IP prior to this: OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

First of all, I didn't get any warning. Secondly, you have not replied to my main concern: What did you find as spam in my entries? In previous contributions, since it's time of hajj, people make a lot of searches regarding the word 'hajj' in the Qur'an on our website, so in wikipedia under external references, I added a link that lands users to search results from the Qur'an (which can be read in various languages) for the word 'hajj' so that people may read what the Qur'an says regarding hajj directly, rather than explaining them what it is in articles and other places. Moreover, like I said, in recent contribs I have not been spamming but been adding valuable references so that people may read the Qur'an in their own language. What's wrong in that?
 * Please read about Wikipedia external links and spam policies at WP:EL and WP:SPAM. There are already several ad-free Qu'ran search tools linked on Wikipedia, whereas your site is rather ad-heavy and commercial. Be aware that if you are unblocked, any further posting of spam links will result in your being blocked again. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I did read about external link and spam policies and that's why I was so confident in putting up these links. The ads that you see on SearchTruth are SearchTruth's own ads. The only real ad we have is from Zakat.org which we added for free (our website is not commercial and we do not charge people for ads) because it's a charity organization. Although there are other ad-free websites, none of them offer serivces we do, especially our ground-breaking free dictionaries, arabic lessons and other supplimentary stuff that's needed when reading the Qur'an. Again, in case I am unblocked of course I'll be careful in my selection of external links but I still stand firm that my links were not at all spam, especially the Surah links that I added and the ones you casually removed. They were 100% relevant. The links that are already there do not provide translations in other languages and are mainly arabic websites. Please unblock me.
 * I stand firm that the links violate spam policies, in that they are intended to promote a commmercial site and do not add significant content that is not available from other resources. I won't consider unblocking you unless you pledge to refrain from trying to use Wikipedia to promote your website. OhNo itsJamie Talk 22:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I won't add more links unless I very strongly believe that the link is of use there, such as chapter:verse citations sometimes required in articles, especially where it says "citation needed". Of course, I would appreciate if my changes would be challenged rather than blocking me and then deleting all links added by me, which too I find unfair as in the surahs categories I do believe it could do with more content and links.


 * And I should mention that other references in wikipedia from our website have not been posted by myself and people actually use SearchTruth a lot in blogs and other websites because of it's outstanding search engine and verified data available in different languages and on different platforms. It would be unwise to ban the website on wikipedia as quite honestly, it ranks as number one or two in all public search engines when it comes to Quran Searching and Hadith Searching
 * Yes, there are other posts of that link, but typically in a spam pattern like this one: . OhNo itsJamie Talk 19:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
