Regarding edits to Murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Userper! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \..+-county\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. --Imroy (talk) 16:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

That's fine but I do not sell any product nor collect money. What I put out was to promote general interest in the subject itself.

Second I have at least 40 pages ranked in the top ten at Google often above Wikipedia. Google "basic triacs" and I'm in the top two. Wikipedia doesn't even rank. I don't need wiki to promote anything.

In fact many of the links on Arduino in fact are for businesses that do make money! Other words you are full of crap and I will be adding nothing further to Wikipedia or will I no longer support it. Count on it.

To quote your guide lines:

Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia, but they should not normally be used in the body of an article. All external links must conform to certain formatting restrictions. Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

So how the hell did the considerable research I put into the practical use of the Arduino not qualify? In other words it's completely subjective and you are not qualified to judge that. The material was original and I released it to the public domain anyway.

The often inaccurate and left-wing bias in much of your material is why most colleges refuse to accept wiki as a source.

So no problem. I'm out of here.


 * Please do not give up. It is unfortunate that Wikipedia is becoming so bureaucratic, with so many editors who care more for form than for contents. You are the kind of editor we need in order to keep it alive. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 04:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh? All of his edits promoted his own website. What little content he did add pushed a political/religious agenda e.g (later removed), . This is the kind of editor you think Wikipedia needs? --Imroy (talk) 04:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Userper, not only have you only promoted one web site, your recent edits (to the Arduino and TRIAC articles) added the links at the beginning of the list of external links. That's pretty spammy behaviour in my books and why I reverted your edits. I'm not doubting you have put a lot of work into your website. But for various reasons, Wikipedia tries to keep the number of external links in its articles to a minimum. There is always Google and other search engines. You claim your web site ranks highly on Google, so it shouldn't be difficult for someone to find your web site when looking for information you publish.
 * The other links in the Arduino article (the many clone boards, etc) are a problem and I'm not sure how it should be handled. Sites like dmoz can be useful but nothing has been done yet. --Imroy (talk) 04:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
