Removed link

Hello, I just added a referenceto audiovisualacademy.com, which has been removed. This is not spam, as we are not selling anything - this is a free educational resource containing video lessons related to audiovisuals arts and directly to the article in question. I do believe its useful and relevant. What is the problem?87.245.178.106 (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Please review the guidelines on external links, link promotion, and conflict of interest - and please then refrain from adding links to sites you are affiliated with. Thanks. - MrOllie (talk) 16:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

User talk:96.236.134.2 and User:X7tech

Thanks for cleaning out this IP's linkspam. It's painfully obvious that it's the same user editing anonymously, so I've blocked the IP (temporarily, for now at least) as a block circumvention attempt. Why they think we won't figure it out, I don't know. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey, if they had any shame, they wouldn't be working as SEOs. :) - MrOllie (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Touche. :P --Kinu ^t/_c 21:49, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

remove text in drag and drop about end-user programming

Drag and drop is an essential concept in visual programming. The section lists a number of early systems using drag and drop. I am an expert in visual programming and these systems are some of the first systems making use of drag and drop. If you know more systems feel free to add them to the article. Don't just remove the section. This is not professional behavior.

To paraphrase my response last time you brought this to my talk page, It is also not professional behavior to allow a single purpose editor to insert references to specific products in tangentially related articles. - MrOllie (talk) 05:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Nation's Restaurant News

Hello, you recently removed a source from the Domino's article from Nation's Restaurant News claiming it was unreliable. NRN is one of the larger trade magazines in the commercial foods business and is an accepted, reliable source. May I ask why you believe it not to be? --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 22:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't have any issue with NRN, but that particular article isn't news reporting, it's an opinion piece. It was added by a SPA whose Raison d'être seems to be adding references to the editorial's author and/or marketing firm to various Wikipedia articles. - MrOllie (talk) 22:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Project Management weblink

Dear MrOllie, I wrote you on the 17th January and unfortunately I haven't received an answer yet. I found my question in your "Archives 1". So I put it again, just in case you couldn't see it. I understand, you receive hundred of questions daily. This was my question last time: "please could you tell me why you delete the link I put with the practical tipps for a efficient Project Management? It is not a promotion, because they are tipps. For me, promotion is all the softwares that are in the "List of ERP software packages". Please, could you explain me, why these ERP vendors are allowed to be in Wikipedia if promotion is forbidden? Thank you very much for your time! 23:09, 17 January 2011 (UTC)HumboldtKritiker — Preceding unsigned comment added by HumboldtKritiker (talk • contribs)" HumboldtKritiker (talk) 13:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC) HumboldtKritiker

For one thing, this is the English wikipedia and your link was in German. (also, the word in english is 'tips', not 'tipps'. - MrOllie (talk) 18:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Plain English Campaign Vandalism

these edits that you are undoing are being vandalised by Mike Young as he has a personal greivance with PEC please see his contributions Martinos155 (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Even a stopped clock will be correct twice a day. It is not appropriate to link the plain english campaign on articles about every term they have criticized or every company they have awarded something to. - MrOllie (talk) 15:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I havent i am undoing vandalism Martinos155 (talk) 15:37, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

This was not reverting vandalism. - MrOllie (talk) 15:38, 25 January 2011

Are you disputing facts on the Plain English Campaign page or putting back Libelous content by undoing edits Martinos155 (talk) 15:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Please see WP:NLT before throwing around terms like 'Libelous' - MrOllie (talk) 15:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Try reading edits before undoing them Martinos155 (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Pompeii 3D Models

I notice that you deleted the external link to 3D models of Pompeii on 12 January, but you entered no comments in the discussion page where the subject is up for discussion.

That discussion has been there for 2 months inviting people to comment, yet not one other person has raised any objection to the external link. Can you please provide comment in the discussion page as to why you believe it degrades the page to have a reference to the availability of 3D models of the city.

I note that there is an external link to "Pompeii on Google Streetview" which you (rightly) did not delete. That seems a bit contradictory given that they are both Google features. Pmolsen (talk) 07:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
