User talk:ModaRazzi

July 2008

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your note

There are a few basic Wikipedia tenets with which I'd like to acquaint you. It seems with the first version of your note, the primary one would be no personal attacks. Do not leave notes like the one you first left at my talk page, or at anyone else's talk page. It is rude, incivil and displays a complete lack of etiquette. Any further notes left, even if you change it right away, will be reported to the administrator's noticeboard for making unwarranted personal attacks.

Next, you are in fact promoting a product with your addition of links to your website across multiple articles, you are promoting your website. Coupled with your self-identification as being connected to the site you are linking, you are violating WP:SPAM and WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided. This is the third time you have been told that Wikipedia is not a collection of links. Further, because you are associated with this website, you have a conflict of interest in adding them. Finally, since you have already been warned about this by an adminstrator, you are on very tenuous ground in threatening me and warning me away from the articles you have spammed. Please see WP:OWN for clarification regarding such warnings. So, feel free to contact Wikipedia about this, by all means. In fact, I encourage you to go to Wikipedia:AN/I and post that big bad Wildhartlivie has removed your spam links. Meanwhile, please note the line below the edit box prior to saving changes, which says "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." You have no ground on which to stand to threaten and harangue someone for removing spam. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the one whose initial contact with another editor was to call them a jackass. I am also not the only person who has removed your spam links from articles tonight or on earlier occasions.

I have given you specific Wikipedia policies which your spamming has violated. You are connected with this website, therefore your interest is with the website and not with Wikipedia. No one has questioned a copyright issue, there is none to be addressed. The issue is specifically that you, as either the webmaster, owner, employee or someone otherwise connected to ModaRazzi is interjecting links to the website into numerous articles, which violates policy. You have been warned on more than one occasion, by more than one editor, one of whom is an administrator. Before you attempt to return these links to articles, you would be best served by taking this site, as linked by you, a person who is representing the site, to the appropriate noticeboard for approval. Any other action is spamming and will be reported. There is no need for screenshots, nothing on Wikipedia is ever erased, it exists in the history of each page. Again, do not threaten me. I have broken no policies or guidelines in following standard procedure in dealing with someone who is spamming articles with links to a site with which he or she is associated. If these links are returned, a report will be made to the appropriate administrators noticeboard and you may well be blocked from editing. These are Wikipedia policies. It would behoove you to learn them.

Finally, WP:Talk procedure is to add new talk to the BOTTOM of the page, and you are required to sign your posts by typing ~~~~ four tildes. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that using the userpage as a promotional page for a website or company is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines, specifically WP:UP#NOT #6. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 07:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
