User talk:SpamCop999

September 2012
Hello, I'm 76.248.149.47. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 00:14, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I've reverted your edits again, as well as those of an IP account which I gather is also you. None of the external links you continue to add appear to be acceptable. Below is a welcome template, which includes links to editing guidelines. Your initial edits suggest that you're only interested in 'busting spam' from a single business. Thanks, 76.248.149.47 (talk) 00:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi. I encourage you to tone down your rhetoric on User talk:76.248.149.47. Your discussion of your IQ, your degrees, and your alma mater are irrelevant to the matter at hand, offensive to others and counterproductive to your efforts.


 * I encourage you to take a look at the following; they'll help you understand the basis for your peers' remarks:
 * What Wikipedia is not
 * We're just writing an amateur encyclopaedia here. Dry and dull and factual. Not hard-hitting advocacy or investigative journalism; those things are valuable, they're just not what we do here.
 * Verifiability
 * Reliability of our underlying sources is critical. Blogs and complaint sites -- well, they're non-starters.
 * No original research
 * I'm sure your research skills are better than mine but around here, it doesn't matter. (My own IQ's not even 75% of yours and that doesn't matter, either.) Britannica compiles, they don't do research. Neither do we.
 * Neutral point of view
 * We don't like AccuQuote. We don't dislike AccuQuote. We avoid stuff like this. So far, your collected efforts around here have been confined to a series of drive-by attacks on some insurance company I never heard of. We don't want that.


 * These are all core content policies here at Wikipedia. From some of your comments, you may not feel comfortable with some of this; if so, you may find other venues better uses of your time and talent. In any event, as an administrator, I must ask you to stick to the rules above when adding content to our site.


 * Thank you, -- A. B. (talk • contribs) 01:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
