The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
To A.B., for protecting "Mesothelioma" from spam. Axl (talk) 23:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much!
I hate to see parasitic spam there when so many people suffer with asbestosis. It's also a honeypot for finding linkspammers in general -- many of the spammers that attack that article have many other domains they're hitting us with elsewhere.
This makes my day -- thanks again. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 23:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, my sanity was slowly going with the edit war.... I'm now asking for some consensus on the talk page before I go and add the links back - I'd like to understand what the issues with it were - Leedryburgh appears to have removed a lot of the advertising from his book pages and whats left is small and unobtrusive. To remove the useful (IMHO) link entirely over these two small links would seem a little like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to me - but I'm also equally unattached to his book as I used and own what is probably the main competition (Travis) to his book. I'll see what, if any, consensus is reached over the next few days Beardybloke (talk) 00:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to help. It looked as if too many people were "off their meds". As for the book, it looks useful and it's published by Cisco Press, which is a credible publisher. On the other hand, it's a big no-no to push your own links and site and the transparent use of an IP after I left Leedryburgh a note was a bit galling.
In trying to build consensus, you might try drawing in a wider consensus by posting a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Telecommunications.
Good luck. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 00:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The edit war is continuing here against your requests wiki/Talk:Signaling_System_7 but in a surreal way without me present. Leedryburgh (talk) 10:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PWG

Thanks for the candid assessment of the Park West article. I believe that PWG is as worthy of a place on Wikipedia as any of the other active businesses that currently have articles so I'd like to try and make it truley encyclopedic and remove the promotional elements (and links). As speculated though, I do have a COI - if I can make it truely encyclopedic, how much does this matter? Also, the NYT article and related articles reflect an ongoing competitive struggle along with open/pending cases, all of which I would hope are not appropriate for Wikipedia - please advise. Any advise that can help me make the PWG article a quality, encyclopedic, non-promotional, non-flame-thowing article, and worthy of Wikipedia is appreciated.
