Just cut an paste them when you need them from this page, I keep them on my user page. The dates are always formatted correctly, just remember to increment the date, as often as possible, as I sometimes forget to do.

Referencing

Thanks. Yes, I wrote it to provide a simple intro for new users, as referencing is essential and the existing pages something of a maze. You can post it on user or article talk pages as {{refstart}} or link to WP:REFB. You might like to watchlist the template and essay talk page to help keep an eye on it.

Again if you please refer to the following guidelines that apply to the links I placed that you removed.

1 Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews.
2 Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.

Please note that these two rules can be found under the guidelines for external links that ARE considered acceptable. I have placed the link to these guidelines below.

The Material included on my site IS copywrited this includes not only the photography but the article as well. I feel that these pictures do deserve to be included but can not due to copywrite issues. I do not need to drive any traffic to my site from wiki. I have plenty of my own traffic and I do not need to steal wiki's. I do see that style.com has doen the exact same thing I am trying to do and yet their older external links to the very same type of criteria is left in place.

Please explain to me why it is considered acceptable for style.com to share this information but not for me to share information with wiki. I do make other edits that are meaningfull to the contributions of this orgination. If anything here the external linking MIGHT help with page ranking but this is not my goal. I have to be honest I changed what I said because initially I was angry that I had put so much time into sharing this information then only to have it wiped without any real consideration, or with any real information to help solve the problem. Instead all I got was an impersonal quoting of a tos. I have in the past heard nothing good about wiki but this is an idea that I think could be more accurate which is why I fact check these articles before adding external links that I believe people would be interested to see.

I am not running about Wiki posting links to randomized sections that have nothing to do with the section I am editing. If this is a wiki where people will edit things out that actually have to with the article then I am very sad that eventually wiki will die. I am not a spammer. This is among the most rude comments that has ever been made to me via the internet. I am a journalist who takes his craft seriously.

If there is a process I can undergo to resolve this issue, to include my publication to cross link back and forth for the purpose of journalism with credibility I will certainly take those measures. However at this point none have been shown to me.

RE: your message

The fact that I am assosiated with the site has little to do with conflict of interest. In fact the links placed there lead to pictures of the full and entire collection IS in fact relivant. Comming from a person who works in the fashion industry I can safely say that pictures ARE what people are looking for. You refer to etiquette yet you call me a spammer and say things like big bad Wildhartlivie. These actions are just as rude as my initial post.

Funny that you are so much older than I, and have so little self control. I WILL continue to post these relivant links to collections and I WILL be reporting your behavior to Wiki along with copies and screen shots of what you have said in my talk page. I am sure they would love to see than one of their older editors is hiding behind a tos to be condensending to a younger editor. I am not a spammer I am not "selling" anything. Modarazzi has as much of a right to show pictures on these designers pages as style.com and other sites that ARE doing it. Sites in which you left their links there. After this I am done speaking with you, I am done arguing with you. Removal of edits that you do will be placed back in that position and reported.

Maybe before you decide to edit things you will contact someone with something more personal than a tos quote. Maybe next time that you have a problem with me or someone else you will think before you act. Maybe next time you contact me you will show a little common respect for another human being and when and if that is the case I will be willing to work with you.

ADDED: This is found under the section showing what links should be included: two of these apply:

1 Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews. 2 Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.

For number two please dirtect specificly to copywrite issues. These pictures have a right to be included in the external links section. Furthermore if you knew anything about google rankings you would know it is good for wiki to have incomming and outgoing link. My site has had a link pointing to wiki for months. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ModaRazzi (talk • contribs) 06:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Before you go about editing my links maybe you should go to the links where you would see acess to the entire collection for that given season. Please do not remove valid links without looking at them. It took me nearly an hour to fix what you had ruined. My link to show collections is no different to style.com or fashionwindows.com

Additionaly I have as much right to a link there as they do so please stay away from them. I am not promoting any product simply giving wiki users acess to pictures of the given designers collections so unless you plan to upload those directly to the designers page then please... hand off.

hello. i'd be happy to explain my thinkology on that. to be consistent, it was much easier to remove the existing table than add another one, and it seems a table is bit over-kill for so few entries. the award succession matrix is redundant and was replaced with the navigation box footer. the rest is just standard housekeeping. hope this helps. cheers! --emerson7 05:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wildhartlivie, what exactly were you changing in this edit? By reverting to that particluar past version you've re-added a load of unsourced information/POV that I had to remove earlier. Would you consider reverting yourself, and then fixing whatever you wanted to fix manually rather than with Twinkle? Thanks in advance. Acalamari 23:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no need to apologize. :) It's just that I didn't know what you fixed, and I had no intention of getting into any revert-wars or anything like that: in all, it was easier to ask you. Thank you for reverting, and then fixing the problem manually. Thanks also for the explanation. Best wishes. Acalamari 23:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting situation. :) See you around! Acalamari 23:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
