Promotional editing
Please read PROMOTION. Quite simply, we don't use Wikipedia articles for advertizing or commercial promotion. Vsmith (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * And don't throw around the word "vandalism" lightly. WP:VANDAL explains what Wikipedia defines as vandalism; it requires bad faith, which editors removing your edits are not exhibiting.  You have made effectively no discernible edits that don't somehow involve linking to a website regarding Pennsylvania Bluestone flagstones.  The assumption is that someone is deriving gain—whether in the form of page clicks, advertising, increased "visibility", or compensation for working as a promoter—for these edits, in contravention of Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidelines and possibly paid-editing requirements.  Your aggressive doubling down regarding re-adding the links—rather than responding more collaboratively by, e.g., asking for help at WP:TEAHOUSE, asking for help from an experienced editor in a polite and open way, or simply recognizing, "hmm, these multiple people who are reverting my links have a lot more edits than I do and they might  have a point" and moving on to something else—supports the inference of a conflict of interest. Working cooperatively is necessary here, if you want to demonstrate that you are really here to help build the encyclopedia and not promote either this blog, yourself as a paid writer, or someone involved in the Pennsylvania Bluestone production or distribution process. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  20:38, 21 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for reaching out. I have not done any COI editing.  Yes, I am an expert when it comes to flagstone and bluestone and have been in that business a long time.  This is where I can be useful and help improve Wikipedia.  There was not even a picture of the product on the pennsylvania bluestone page.  I have much to contribute and definitely understand that I may not advertise or promote spammy promotional links. I will be happy to edit in other ways besides flagstone also where I can be useful.  I would grateful to anyone who would warn me if I make a mistake.  I certainly would correct such errors promptly.  Thanks again.Stevenvieczorek (talk) 21:38, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Please see the flagstone talk page where I have started a discussion. Also you should read WP:3rr before reverting again. Yes there be some rules here. Cheers. Vsmith (talk) 23:58, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Pennsylvania Bluestone Practical Knowledge


A tag has been placed on Draft:Pennsylvania Bluestone Practical Knowledge, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Image without website link
I added your image from Commons to the Pennsylvania bluestone article, without the website link. This is all that is needed. David notMD (talk) 19:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Please explain how that is allowable without a citation, reference or verificationStevenvieczorek (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Photographs don't require crediting, referencing or verifying. Theroadislong (talk) 22:47, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reply. That doesn't make sense to me.  All sorts of abuse could take place.  Is there an article in Wikipedia to back that up?  I cant find one.
 * I've worked on hundreds of articles. I do not remember seeing images with references, definitely not with websites. If, for example, I had inserted an image of a brick, someone else would remove it. Ditto if I inserted an image of a painting by Dali into the article on Picasso. David notMD (talk) 04:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Everyone knows what a brick is and so an image of a brick is not useful for the same reason wikipedia is not very useful. Useful information is that which everyone does not know.  The product infobox calls for a URL.  You may have my picture of a bluestone job for a little bit but you will not have the valuable information that I could have provided.  Similar pictures are more easily found on search engines anyhow.  This shows why Wikipedia is a dinosaur.  The information is useless.  You are supposed to consider #context when evaluating credibility but maybe your just a sock puppet with an agenda. Human nature being what it is who cares because there are better cutting edge ways to proceed.  At any rate thanks for the education.  I get it now.  Have fun with your sock puppets!Stevenvieczorek (talk) 10:42, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

The editors who have reverted your addition of a website link at Pennsylvania Bluestone and Flagstone are long-time editors, each with an established history of thousands of edits. None, to my knowledge are involved in sockpuppetry, which is the unapproved use of multiple accounts. Edits can be contested, but it is inappropriate to accuse or malign editors for their actions. David notMD (talk) 14:18, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop promotional editing
I reverted your recent addition of an info box to Flagstone. And a similar edit by 2600:1700:3260:5420:5951:c161:eab7:ea57 at Pennsylvania Bluestone, presumably you, not logged in to your account. In both, an image was added identifying Vieczorek Natural Stone as the manufacturer. This is not the function of Wikipedia. Actions of this nature will lead to you being blocked from editing. David notMD (talk) 14:28, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That was not me; that was @sumdumgeye. Please stop vandalizing good information and remember WP:CONTEXTMATTERS Stevenvieczorek (talk)
 * Accepting your disclaimer of not being connected to 2600:1700:3260:5420:5951:c161:eab7:ea57 (who has been blocked for 36 hours). Let's hope this stops the edit warring. David notMD (talk) 16:20, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * if you want to stop edit warring stop vandalizingStevenvieczorek (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Within Wikipedia, vandalism is a very specific accusation. None of what any editors have done to remove the website link you want with the image, nor the more direct promotional content added to the info box by 2600:1700:3260:5420:5951:c161:eab7:ea57 and the other IP editors, is vandalism. No one is disputing the validity of the content you want to link to. What is not allowed is linking or referencing to privately created websites or blogs. Original research, either directly insert or linked to, is not allowed. David notMD (talk) 17:09, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't think that's correct. How about a citation before I nominate the entire page for speedy deletion?Stevenvieczorek (talk) 02:59, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Pennsylvania Bluestone. Theroadislong (talk) 14:29, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Deleting articles (Pennsylvania Bluestone)
Hi there! If you want to delete an article, for example Pennsylvania Bluestone, I recommend issuing an article for deletion (AfD). However, most likely the article will be redirected to Bluestone. If you want make a redirect, then use #REDIRECT Bluestone to Pennsylvania Bluestone. - I Need Support - :3 18:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, lets see what happens? Thanks for the advice.Stevenvieczorek (talk) 18:13, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2019
Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Bluestone while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:57, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Stevenvieczorek. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Bluestone, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
