Hi, |
|||
Thank you for the review. |
|||
Today I added a few External Links to various computer programming language pages on Wikipedia. |
|||
For example, I added an External Link to the PL/M page for PL/M to C Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as spam/advertising. This link is informational and is in exactly the same category as the following PL/M External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted: |
|||
• Development Assistant for PL/M (DA-PL/M) – Commercial PL/M IDE from RistanCASE GmbH |
|||
• PLM2C - PL/M to C Translator – Commercial product from Alternative Solutions |
|||
• XTRAN Demonstration: Translating PL/M to C – Commercial product from Pennington Systems, Inc. |
|||
As a second example, I added an External Link to the PL/I page for PL/I to C, C++, C# and JAVA Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as spam/advertising. This link is also informational and is also in exactly the same category as the following PL/I External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted: |
|||
• IBM PL/I Compilers for z/OS, AIX, MVS, VM and VSE |
|||
• Iron Spring Software, PL/I for Linux and OS/2 |
|||
• Micro Focus’ Mainframe PL/I Migration Solution |
|||
If Wikipedia is allowing these other External Links, then all of the External Links that I added today should also be permitted. |
|||
Please review all of our proposed links, which are not spam and should be as useful to Wikipedia users as the above-mentioned External Links, and add them back to the respective External Links pages. Thanks again. |

Wondering if all your recent edits adding "http://www.mpsinc.com/assembly.html - X to X Translator Tools & Services" to coding related pages could be regarded as advertising / promotion and if you have any financial connections with this company which could be a conflict of interest. Mtpaley (talk) 18:11, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
- Even if you don't have a financial connection to the company, these links appear to me to be more about promoting a company's services than providing information about their respective article topics. Hence spam. Jeh (talk) 18:28, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Spam Inquiry
Hi,
Thank you for the review.
Today I added a few External Links to various computer programming language pages on Wikipedia.
For example, I added an External Link to the PL/M page for PL/M to C Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as spam/advertising. This link is informational and is in exactly the same category as the following PL/M External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted:
• Development Assistant for PL/M (DA-PL/M) – Commercial PL/M IDE from RistanCASE GmbH • PLM2C - PL/M to C Translator – Commercial product from Alternative Solutions • XTRAN Demonstration: Translating PL/M to C – Commercial product from Pennington Systems, Inc.
As a second example, I added an External Link to the PL/I page for PL/I to C, C++, C# and JAVA Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as spam/advertising. This link is also informational and is also in exactly the same category as the following PL/I External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted:
• IBM PL/I Compilers for z/OS, AIX, MVS, VM and VSE • Iron Spring Software, PL/I for Linux and OS/2 • Micro Focus’ Mainframe PL/I Migration Solution
If Wikipedia is allowing these other External Links, then all of the External Links that I added today should also be permitted.
Please review all of our proposed links, which are not spam and should be as useful to Wikipedia users as the above-mentioned External Links, and add them back to the respective External Links pages. Thanks again.
