User talk:Zment

Hello, I'm Anupmehra. An edit that you recently made to Yitzchok Hutner seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Anup Mehra  ✈ 17:23, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Shimon Schwab with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website 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. Sea photo Talk 17:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Elazar Shach with this edit. 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. Thank you.

This is your last warning; the next time you harm Wikipedia, as you did at Yosef Shalom Eliashiv 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. --   Edderso       talk          contribs  17:25, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Monty 845  17:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Generally speaking, a link to a lecture from the subject in a biographical article is probably not needed per WP:External Links policy. That said the immediate issue is that you were being reverted, and warned, but kept doing it, and did not engage in discussion. If you are willing to agree not to continue adding the links until there is a discussion about their suitability somewhere, perhaps at External links/Noticeboard, I'd have no objection to an unblock.

Request reason: Unfortunately I did not notice the warning message until after my posts were blocked. Yes I would agree to hold off adding links until I am able to get a suitability approval. Can you direct me where I can submit that request? Thanks

I suggest asking at External links/Noticeboard, and mention that the inclusion of the links is already in dispute. Note that its not generally a requirement to get links pre-approved, but that I'm asking you do it in this case due to the previous dispute. Monty 845  16:19, 5 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Basically, "Some editors are objecting to my inclusions of links such as Click here to download shiurim by Rabbi Reuven Feinstein on TorahDownloads.com on the grounds that they a violate the WP:External Links policy. I've been asked to bring the issue here for discussion before adding the links again. In my opinion the links should be allowed because (Insert your reason here)." Preferably, your reason should include a discussion of how the links are compliant with WP:External Links policy. Then discuss, you could also let the editors who reverted you know that you have started the discussion by leaving them talk page messages, as they may be interested in discussing it with you.

This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Elazar Shach, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
