U C F Marketing With that spammy a name, I encouraged him/her to get a new account and start over with a clean slate. I think we need to take a firm stand with anybody "marketing" anything. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC) And since I was advocating for a mandatory name change, your approach works just as well as what I would have done. I agree that he doesn't want that name; he could never make an edit that wasn't reverted on general principles with 'marketing' in his username. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC) user:Pantsgobyebye This user is requesting an unblock. As all of his edits have been disruptive and this one constitutes sexual harassment, can I suggest the block should, if anything, be extended? Ros0709 (talk) 16:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC) Extending it would be reasonable, but since I already set it at 31 hours, I hate to extend it until he's done something more. From the looks of it, I'll be back tomorrow to indef block him, I suspect, though. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC) Franklin County, Pa. website I am questioning why the link to www.franklincounty-pa.com has been removed from several entries. The site is devoted to the history, government and people of Franklin County, Pa. and yes, there is some advertising (the site has to get paid for somehow). It is a shame that has been removed, and yet other sites remain listed which are primarily advertising based (www.publicopiniononline.com). I just wanted to vent my frustration at the double-standard.

I'm reluctant to retype the whole thing here. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC) Yes, you partially answered the question. I still don't understand why the www.publicopiniononline site is permitted to remain. That site is devoted to advertising (spam), which is the same thing that the www.franklincounty-pa.com is assued of, and has been removed for. Why not remove ALL sites containing spam? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklincounty-pa (talk • contribs) 17:01, 2 September 2008 (UTC) I guess you didn't understand my message, then. The content of the site- how good or bad, how much or little advertising there might be on it- is not relevant in this case. In this case, you, personally, are a spammer, because you are only at Wikipedia to promote your web site. Don't worry; if your web site really is the best source of information about Franklin County, then other users, users who are more objective, will find it in their searches for information and use it to cite. Or, you could suggest a link to the web site on an article talk page, to see if the community agrees that it should be there. But you can't add links to your own web site to articles, no matter how useful your web site might be. If you have found a different link that seems to violate the external links guidelines, feel free to remove it- many hundreds of people come here every day to promote their web sites, and so we can definitely use the help in keeping articles free of non-useful links. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC) Thank you so much for the clarification. I meant no harm. The site is relatively new, and I simply wanted the people of my county to have a decent source of county-wide information. Because of the hundreds of government and historical links I though it would have been an excellent addition to many of the Wilipedia articles having to do with the county. But thank you for the clarification, I will have to find another way to get our residents access to the help they need. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklincounty-pa (talk • contribs) 17:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC) No, and I can tell the difference between someone like you and a real spammer. You're still welcome here if you're interested in helping to write and improve articles; too- local people write most of our articles about places. And I have a certain fondness for Franklin County, PA, as my grandparents lived in Ellwood City, 'til Grandma retired to Franklin with my uncle, where she could easily visit my aunt in Mercer... -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC) Thank you FisherQueen, I'm sorry to have taken your time.
