It's called linkspamming and will removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of weblinks. Dr Debug (Talk) 14:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello Dr Debug,

It would appear that I have done something that upsets you and I have been banned.

I was not meaning to upset anybody. This is my first time here.

I was looking through some of the telecommunications related articles and thought that I would add links to reports published on www.totel.com.au

If this is against the rules I'm truely sorry as I only did it to provide another source of information to readers. I could not find anything in the rules about adding informative links to further information on the related subject matter.

Again I'm sorry. Please be assured that I will not do it if it is against policies.

Kind Regards


 * The point is that you were adding it to a whole list of pages. You can add external links to pages if they are directly relevant, so an article on Totel can have a link to the site, but in general if people notice that you are adding the same link to a lot of pages then they are reverted (notice that MarkSweep reverted half of your links as well, so I wasn't the only one). There is page on External links ( External links ) which might be of interest. I didn't upset me too much, but it was just a message telling to stop adding those links ;) Dr Debug (Talk) 14:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I didn't add the same link.. I added a link to the relevant page for the subject matter.. No problem though. I will not add/ edit any content in Wikipedia in future. I was going to spend some time and "correct" some of the "mistakes" on telecommunications subjects but I will fill my days elsewhere. A glaring mistake that you may want to get somebody to research and correct is under the subject "Optus". It states that they first started offering long distance services. In fact when Optus first launched commercial service in 1992 their first product was re-selling Telstra's AMPS mobile service. Their second product offering was GSM. Long distance products were not added to the product portfolio until 1994. Have a good day. Totel
