Please don't make promotional links
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. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC) I am confused, since the http:www.publichealthandsocialjustice.org is an academic website, with open-access powerpoints and peer-reviewed scientific articles, and has no corporate or other sponsorship.

Conflict of interest
If you are affiliated with 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, 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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Donohoe MT bookspamming, Linkspammming and self promotion

 * Public Health and Social Justice

It has become apparent that your account only exist for the sole or primary purpose of promoting yourself, your sites and your book, in apparent violation of Conflict of interest and anti-spam guidelines, so it has been blocked indefinitely. Wikipedia is NOT a "vehicle for advertising" and persistent spammers will also have their websites blacklisted. --Hu12 (talk) 18:28, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As I note below, this is not a promotional link. The public health and social justice website is open-access, academic, and contains pee-reviewed articles, and has no corporate or other sponsorship AND I make no money from this site (in fact I pay to make it available as a resource to students and colleagues, and on most searches for the topics involved, e.g., public health and social justice, it comes out at or near the top on google. So no, this is NOT a commercial site and involves no more self-promotion than, I would guess, any of the other resources do. I have never had this sort of experience before, and there are MANY academic websites that link to the phsj website, and I am guessing that if you asked most people in this field, they would say that my site is one of the top resources available. So, if you wish to remove it, OK, but to ban me from editing.....please explain further. Thanks martin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socialjustice23 (talk • contribs) 08:34, 31 December 2012‎
 * You were asked to stop promoting yourself and spamming your sites, yet you continued. You were warned of your conflict of interest, yet you ignored it. All of your contributions since 2010 consist only of promoting yourself, your sites and your book. Aside from blatantly violating Neutrality (a fundamental principle by which Wikipedia operates), you have also breached the following;
 * Confilct of interest
 * Paid editing, public relations, and marketing
 * External link spamming
 * Book Spamming
 * Advertising and conflicts of interest
 * Wikipedia is not a repository for links
 * Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising
 * BLOCK
 * Persistent spamming (Promotion)
 * BLOCK
 * Accounts used for promotion
 * accounts that appear, based on their edit history, to exist for the sole or primary purpose of promoting a person, company, product, service, or organization.
 * Wikipedia is not a place to to promote yourself--Hu12 (talk) 18:40, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

forgot about last year, and for what it is worth, i have no need for self-promotion (the site is non-commercial and with the textbook, if i make more money off of it than i can use for a nice meal out, i will be shocked)......i am just an educator and social justice advocate who spends about 20 hrs of unpaid work per week on the site, which is a labor of love which has become popular with, and helpful to, academics, activists, and students worldwide, as per the feedback i get through the site....for what it is worth, many might find that having an entry to social justice without referencing the site makes the wikipedia entry incomplete, but don't worry, i will sign off here martin martin
