Unethical

Why are you undoing my hard earned edits, even if I haven't compromised with editing ethics Yesterday I made a link at Bluehost because I have seen external link related to data server location at another hosting company page, I have added references you have undone most of that even if they are legit please reply Why?

Because you've been adding linkspam, and you've been attempting to dodge AFC review by moving articles out of draft yourself. Both are hallmarks of paid editing in violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. MrOllie (talk) 21:32, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Color Blindness edit

I am new to editing on Wikipedia. Sorry if I am not doing something correctly. I have a rare genetic vision condition called BCM (1 in 100,000 people have it). It is so rare that I did not get a diagnosis until I was 57 years old. Very few eye doctors have any experience with it which means they misdiagnose it. My edit is trying to help other people that do not know what they have to find out. BCM was already discussed in the colorblind article but is hard to find and has some inaccuracies. I wanted to add a sentence to the beginning paragraph to help others like myself figure out what they have as easy as possible without having to wade through the rest of the article. For someone who knows they are colorblind and that there vision is generally bad but don't know what their conditions is, and neither does their eye doctor, one of the first things they would do is go to Wikipedia and look up colorblindness. However, the bulk of the article is talking about typical color blindness issues and is not easy to go through and figure out that they have BCM. The sentence I added is no different than the previous sentence which points out that Achromatopsia (another rare eye disease) is the complete absence of color vision and lists the added symptoms. I just tried to add the same kind of sentence for BCM to help people like me figure out what they have. Dean402 (talk) 01:37, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

External Links for Blue Cone Monochromacy

Please consider allowing the external links based on the statement in the Wikipedia Style manual in the section on external links that states "If the disease is very rare, then a manageable set of charitable organisations may be of encyclopaedic interest. In these cases, prefer links that provide information that is likely to be interesting to readers worldwide" Dean402 (talk) 19:22, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

No, Wikipedia is not a link directory, we do not promote organizations in that way. MrOllie (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi MrOllie,

I understand the general idea that Wikipedia is not a link list but why would this exception not apply in the case with such a rare disease. Turret's is used as an example in this section of the style manual for medical conditions and it is much more common than BCM. I only asked to include 2 links so it is should meet the criteria of a manageable set of links.

From the style manual for medical articles:

"If the disease is very rare, then a manageable set of charitable organisations may be of encyclopaedic interest. In these cases, prefer links that provide information that is likely to be interesting to readers worldwide, such as a detailed article on the specific topic. It is usually better to link to an external web page that lists such charities, rather than try to provide such a list ourselves. The MrOllie at Curlie template links to a directory based on the Open Directory Project that contains many such links. For example, on the Tourette syndrome page:"

If it does not apply to BCM can you please explain why and/or provide an example of where it would apply?

Can you also explain why my edit trying to add the links and your reversion do not show up on the Dean402 (talk) 23:28, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Something happened that booted me out of writing that last question.

I was trying to ask:

Can you also explain why my edit trying to add the links and your reversion do not show up on the View History tab? Dean402 (talk) 23:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

With respect, I am not the Wikipedia help desk. If you have questions about Wikipedia and how it works, you can ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE. If you want to discuss changes to a particular article, use that article's talk page, as you have been. MrOllie (talk) 23:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

AutoCAD edit

"Mr.Ollie" look why don't we revert to the " 15:55, 3 November 2023‎ GÓM talk contribs‎ 25,405 bytes −29‎ removing markup error undothank Tag: Reverted" edit. This edit fixed the markup error and had more information then the current version. The introductory paragraph was not well organized, and I seem to belive that my edit had improved it. The only problem was the markup error that "GOM" solved after me, so I belive the best option id for me to revert to this version. Peter Khazan Peter Khazanov (talk) 16:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Adding personal opinions and a competitor list to the lead of the article is not an improvement. The whole edit was a problem, not just the markup error. Direct any followup comments to the article's talk page, my user talk isn't the right place for this. MrOllie (talk) 17:04, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Probable failed ping

I think the ping failed because of a malformed request. Please look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Krakhesh and add whatever you feel to be appropriate 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:59, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
