Not Spam
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Channing Tatum. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Abu Badali 19:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Channing Tatum. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Abu Badali 19:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't think this is spam. External links should provide additional information about a subject. This external link does that. I have only updated this page on Wikipedia, because this particluar actor is of interest to me. The page did not tell enough by any means and I felt that I wanted to add to the information source. I appreciate your opinion, but this is a public site where people are looking for additional information on this actor. You censoring a legitimate fan site, because you do not think it should be here, is down right Un-American. To me, it goes against everything Wikipedia stands for and I think it is completely elitest and ridiculous. The top fan site is ChanningTatum.org and the person who runs the blog is a co-web and the blog links to and is linked to from ChanningTatum.org. If the fans and readers of the fan site feel that it is not helpful, then and only then should it not be considered a viable information source for this actor in my opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WCFIRM (talk • contribs) 13:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

- Please read WP:SPAM and WP:EL. Also, as a general rule, avoid adding links to websites you're involved with.
- You're new here and your idea of "everything Wikipedia stands for" may be non-perfect.
- I'm not American.
- Best regards, --Abu Badali 19:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry for my assumption. You being American or not does not really matter. I still think this is a good information source for fans of Channing Tatum and I stand behind everything I have said. If anyone understood what quality fan sites do on a day-to-day basis to provide the public with free information on a topic that they are truly intersted in, then maybe they would not frown upon the sites so much. The ironic truth is that the majority of the information on this actor's Wikipedia page probably came from a fan site to begin with. Sad how you think the page is so much better than it's sources. [[[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 20:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)]
Excuse me? I never said the page was better than its sources. I'm saying there are better sources of information than the site that you keep listing. You are being very selfish by listing a site that is probably your own, and totally disregarding all the fansites that have been on the web for a year longer than yours, AND have more information. It's immature and I feel that we should discuss it, instead of you just adding your site because you think it deserves to be there.
Oh, and next time, please sign your name at the end so that I don't have to go on a wild goose chase to respond. EXXC3L 17:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Apologies on forgetting the my signature. That was not on purpose. If those other sites want to add there site here, that is up to them. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this topic. Going back and forth is not going to change my mind or your mind obviously. If you or anyone else removes the link, I will put it back, because I am of the opinion that it is appropriate and has the most up-to-date news on this actor.[[[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 03:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)]
Regarding the above article, please keep commentary and discussion on the talk page, not the main page. - RJASE1 04:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry. Will do. [[[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 04:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)]
- Looks like you're edit-warring - might I suggest Wikipedia:Requests for comment to help resolve the issue. - RJASE1 04:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I would do that, but this particular user is very immature and is cussing and name calling in discussions. I don't know if we could actually have an adult conversation in this case. [[[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 05:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)]
- I understand, but please take a look at WP:3RR and try to avoid edit-warring in the future. Thanks - RJASE1 14:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand. I will take a look at it. Thanks. [[[User:Wcfirm|Wcfirm]] 14:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)]
Re: Channing Tatum
I apologize, but at this time I don't have the time to deal with your issue. However, my advice is to find an administator and ask for guidance as to the Wikipedia protocol for external links. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 15:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

um...ct.org listed that news about Battle In Seattle before you even thought about opening a blog. Do we really have to go through this again just because you're greedy? EXXC3L 20:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually, we are going through this again, because you are worried about all of the ground I have made in such a short period of time. I am following the rules. I updated the information on that section and provided a source for the information. You deleted a valid source and replaced it with your site. Every time you do things like this, it just makes it more clear that you are worried about your position in the fan community, which is silly. There is enough room for all of us to be fans and have sites without trying to sabotage other site's efforts. What's funny to me that you actually wondered why I received a call from our mutual friends when you did not. Maybe you should give that a little bit of thought. You have previously mentioned Karma...Building yourself up by trying to tear others down is definitely not the way to go in life. Wcfirm 20:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
LOL. girl I am not worried about anything. I just can't stand to see someone who is doing this for money get the attention that they don't deserve. I posted that news way before you did, why can't you just admit that? If I was worried about you, I wouldn't have been nice enough to link your site...until you stabbed me in the back. If I was worried, I wouldn't have originally been sharing a forum with another fansite until she closed hers. If I was worried, I wouldn't have applied to be affiliates with c-t.com (until she ignored me). So you really have no idea what you're talking about. Just the fact that you would say that shows me just how new you are to this. I've been doing fansites for 4+ years, and I've dealt with people like you all along the way. You don't scare me.
And I didn't "wonder" why you received a call, I knew exactly why. I even heard the same thing from Clay himself. So I really did catch you in a lie.
I am not building myself up. You are the one going around spamming pages to advertise your blog to make money. Yes, karma WILL tear you down, whether it's from me or not. EXXC3L 21:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
