July 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cylon (1978) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Cylon (1978) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rScBRKlTdoE/STrFmOX5m3I/AAAAAAAAC3I/0IeKlswuuwQ/s1600-h/EMSVOC2000.jpg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Vocoder do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sample and hold, you may be blocked from editing. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Trans (album), 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. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Vocoder. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

Dear Sir or Madam Admin(s) that reads this:

I'm sorry for my behavior of adding links and promise I won't do that if allowed back. I admit that I was also AnalogVocoder1, but only made that account because this account was blocked. Sorry. Gamilo7 is someone I contacted to input my info in for me, sorry about that as well. Anyway what MikeWazowski said is unfounded. My references are not dubious as he types it is. They're from the book 'How to Wreck a Nice Beach' by Dave Tompkins and all you have to do is pick-up a copy or contact him. I had several email exchanges with him some months back. He is one of the world's leading authorities on the subject and matter of the vocoder. All I want to do is just let anyone who reads those three articles (or any article involving a vocoder) know which vocoder(s) were used by those involved...that is it. I apologize again for my disruptive behavior of adding links, changing my wordings too often, and name calling. Here are some links to check about this book...How to Wreck a Nice Beach, StopSmiling Books Store/How to Wreck a Nice Beach, you can check-it-out at Amazon, and there's lots of links on Google Thank you most humbly and sincerely --VoiceEncoder (talk) 07:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I took a look at that book and am contemplating ordering it -- it seems way cool and utterly geeky, just like I like it. So: it's a good reference, but the problem was you were sticking in so many references to it that it looked like you were promoting the book. Use the article talk pages more often; other editors will be happy to help you get this good information into the articles in the appropriate way. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 17:13, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will reinstate the vocoders used, but I will NOT put a link to them. If one is interested in knowing what it looks like then they can search on Google Images themselves. However if there is an acceptable link then one can insert that one. Now other than renaming the vocoders the only other editing I want to do is to get rid of an unnecessary ] after the wiki link to Cylon 1978. That just irritates me so much. Thank you once again for allowing me to edit (or reedit actually) and again I won't put in any links; only state the vocoders used, and get rid of ] after Cylon 1978. Cheers!! --VoiceEncoder (talk) 07:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's it...[edit]

...I'm done with my editing (unless someone unedits it). Or until I come upon another use of a vocoder and I want to mention which one it was if I know it (and has been confirmed elsewhere). --VoiceEncoder (talk) 08:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
