User talk:Sylvain Halgand~enwiki

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Kodak Retinette, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page and the Teahouse, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! --   Luke      (Talk)   21:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I do not think my links are INAPPROPRIATE. I think you have not visited them. My site is a reference database on old cameras and is not commercial. I do lots of background research which I put the result available to all for free. When I put the list of Retina my site so that there is nothing on your wikipedia, I think it is very appropriate and better than a page where there is nothing. The information on my site are very often used to enrich camerapedia and camera-wiki. Have you ever seen this kind of data on cameras: http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/frise_histo_Kodak.php this elsewhere on my site? Are you able to put it on your wiki? It's a shame you deleted the link to this page your visitors and thus deprived of a reference. Sylvain Halgand (talk) 21:33, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kodak Retina. 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. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. 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. Thank you. --   Luke      (Talk)   21:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Instamatic. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --   Luke      (Talk)   21:12, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you harm Wikipedia, as you did at Kodak Pony 828 with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Sockpuppetry case
Eric Borel isn't a suckpoppet. It's a different physical person. We administrate together www.collection-appareils.com. I think you can verify this with the IP number. We use our real names. Sylvain Halgand (talk) 21:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Sylvain Halgand for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Calabe1992 21:15, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. 5 albert square (talk) 21:17, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sylvain Halgand. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sylvain Halgand~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
