Short sale (real estate) links

I've been removing an external link at Short sale (real estate) for a few weeks after I found nothing notable -- it's about three months old, anonymous and with about 26 Google hits -- but I'm getting tired of posting warnings at multiple IPs just to have the site added again. If this is indeed a nn site, I don't mind going through the warnings, but does the process apply to blocking sites or just spammers? Flowanda | Talk 01:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Very helpful info...and thanks for your edits as well. I thought I was missing something. Flowanda | Talk 04:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Swordsmanship edit

Point. I have not used Amberger while editing the article. I can't be sure if other editors have used Amebrger. What if the book appeared under "Further Reading" rather than under "References"? I do feel that the book is a useful source for readers to pursue if interested (and that several other useful ones could be added). Pirate Dan (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Admin status

You don't appear to have replied to the above two offers to nominate you for RFA> any reason why not? I would also be happy to nominate. --BozMo talk 13:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Well it would save you having to ask for help to semiprotect a page as you just did. Perhaps you should apply the first time you have to wait more than five minutes for an admin to do something for you. --BozMo talk 14:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh goody - that is a page I will watchlist now :) (& it will certainly take me longer than 5 minutes to do anything for you :)). --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

- :) But it all gets done in the end! And then it's you guys that get any flack for being too trigger happy/taking too long/using the wrong wording/upsetting a spammer/using admin powers in disputes you're involved in and all those other things admins are routinely accused of. While I sit back and act all innocent. -- SiobhanHansa 14:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

• There is of course, no rush for a candidacy, so in the mean time, I have granted you Rollback, as funnily enough, that's actually the reason I came to your talk page, having seen your diligence in removing spam/vandalism. Just remember that it is for bad faith edits only, never good-faith-albeit-misguided edits, other than that, it's no grander than obtaining Twinkle, it just lets you revert blatant vandalism that much quicker, with just one click instead of two or three. Happy editing! WilliamH (talk) 14:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

You can go here to practise using it :) WilliamH (talk) 15:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. The practice page is probably less confusing than my attempts to practice here :) -- SiobhanHansa 16:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Another opinion?

On this? Seems a bit advertorial to me but I've done my share of mistakes today :) Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

These people who watch other people's talk pages ....;) OK & thanks - such pages are sooo easy to find if you know where to look :)

As to mistakes - I'd never actually admit to anything on wiki 'cos someone else might see it. However yesterday's logs would show slight errors on my part! The help is appreciated, cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Also notability might be questionable or am I getting it wrong? Enjoy the weekend. Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

That will be me being grumpy then :) Thanks anyway. I will stop in the end but these have been producing rather a lot of links that look a little COI maybe (you don't know what you are missing on Meta!). Won't be around much for a bit so no answers required for now - just don't like the thought that no one is aware of things. Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Survivorship A to Z links

You're correct that the links I added are for a nonprofit I do contract work for; however, the Wikipedia guidelines you mention also state, "If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it." I think those links are to a relevant and informative site, and as a nonprofit, it has no commercial interests (i.e., it doesn't profit from the addition of these links). Do you agree, or do you think it would be best to start discussion on the relevant talk pages and leave it up to the community? Prestonmarkstone (talk) 06:45, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Clitoris Video

I'm not sure why you characterized the clitoris video as spam - it's a doctor hosted video that explains in effective detail what the clitoris is and how to find it. The very fact that it is a video medium differentiates it significantly from the written material which precedes it. jrsvc@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.23.12 (talk) 11:43, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable web-site

Can you please explain what does it mean? The external links I left are clearly relevant to the articles, I personally missed such types of the links when I read those articles and articles similar to them, so I though the articles would clearly benefit from having those kind of links? Could you please provide some comments on it? Dryuap (talk) 10:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Bourn Hall Clinic

Please explain why you have undone my edits to the Bourn Hall Clinic page. Yes, I am their PR consultant, but the information added was all factually correct, and I did not remove any of the existing material which you have left. The information added came from Bourn Hall Clinic itself, as they are surely best positioned to know up-to-date facts about the staff and activities at the clinic.

Would you prefer an 'objective' source to add this material? Or someone from the clinic? Please let me know exactly what you object to, as your blanket 'undo' approach seems a little heavy handed.

Thanks.

Holdsworthassociates (talk) 11:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Any one of hundreds of Wikipedia editors would have removed the material since it violates WP:COI. Please do not add text for a company for whom you do PR work. If you wish you can submit material for consideration on the talk page of the article. --BozMo talk 12:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

China Care Foundation

Thank you for helping me out with the China Care Foundation page. This is my first Wikipedia page, and I am trying to make it nice. I noticed that they didn't have a page, and thought I'd give it a try. I am not an expert, however, so I appreciate the help. Also, another member tried to make an edit to the page today, and it was rejected. She contacted me to see what had happened. Do you have any information about what may have happened? She said that it reverted back to my old page. Since I'm a new member, I was not sure what to tell her. How can she edit it without that happening? Thank you for all of your help and guidance. I really appreciate your changes, as they really made the page sound more informational. By the way, do you have any help on how I can upload a China Care logo for the page? I had uploaded one, but it said that I didn't have the rights to do so. Edswallow (talk) 21:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Edswallow

Hey there! Thanks for your reply. I have posted the China Care Foundation logo on my personal page(I just created another page for this purpose): [1]. If the image isn't good enough, I could always email it to you, as well. I told my friend to contact you about the edits she made. You're a true help! Thanks!

Re: Re:NionSports/Nion Systems

I have removed the link from the Kansas City Metropolitan Area article per your advice. I'll do some more reading on your suggested topics. Thanks again for your help. Nallen20 (talk) 04:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on the Spamming (especially, "How not to be a spammer"). I've used Wikipedia for a long time and think it is a great source of information. I am new to contributing content. This seems to reflect my position quite well, "A new editor who owns a business may see that there are articles about other businesses on Wikipedia, and conclude that it would be appropriate to create his own such article. A Web site operator may see many places in Wikipedia where his or her site would be relevant, and quickly add several dozen links to it." So I'll try to be more careful about what I post. I also added to the Kansas City Metropolitan Area article, under section "8.2 Headquarters". Can you let me know if that should be changed /removed? Thanks! Nallen20 (talk) 01:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Not intended as promotion

Hi I see you have removed the links I added this morning, saying that they are revert promotion, but I'm not sure I understand why. I am a student doing research on the private equity industry and while doing research on secondary transactions I was introduced to the AltAssets website, you can check the refernces for secondaries and see the links that have been there. The site was very useful and I wanted to share the links that I found helpful. The links were all relevant to private equity and elaborated further on the definitions listed on wikipedia. An explanation would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CBooch10 (talk • contribs) 11:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Loving Female Authority

Perhaps you should follow your own counsel. You deleted my edit of the Loving Female Authority entry with its references on the pretext of Wikipedia rules that disallow blog cites. However, of the two references allowed to be included, one is a Google search that turned up blog results and the other is a website that functions like a blog. When I included an edit without blog cites, that was deleted, too. Fair is fair, and if you are going to err, you should err on the side of a balanced report. Otherwise, the entire article should be scrapped.

Sir Scalpel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir Scalpel (talk • contribs) 16:54, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

None of the websites I cited were my own. I am not Katherine West. I am not whoever posts as tallchisub, etc. The websites I cited differ from the ones allowed only in that they are daily or weekly chronicles as opposed to a website with serial articles. The individuals cited, such as Elise Sutton, if that is her real name, have no greater specialization, or no greater basis for their opinion, other than their self-published ideas.

The article on LFA describes a lifestyle, something that is completely subjective. The article describes different takes on that lifestyle and different takes on the particular sexual practices within that lifestyle. What, specifically, is the basis for accepting some of those and rejecting others? In what sense are the websites Around Her Finger, Taken in Hand, She Makes the Rules, controlling male masturbation, any more reliable and high quality than the others I have reference? I expect the editors at Wiki to be neutral, objective, consistent, and fair. Is that too much? Sir Scalpel (talk) 19:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Sir Scalpel, 1516 EDST, Aug. 22, 2008

Reservation In India, Mayawati,Dalit, B._R._Ambedkar, Kanshi_Ram

I appreciate you try to cleaning up the posts. However, I do not agree why you have removed the link. Those links are highly relevant to "Reservation", "Mayawati","Dalit", "Ambedkar" and "Kanshi ram". Content is really relevant. Otherwise, users would not be clicking on those links. I am not directing them to my personal shopping site. I am directing them to articles and blogs on the SAME topic. Please note that we have been collecting different articles on those topics. So it would be very useful for readers to checkout the corresponding topic. We are nonprofit working for oppressed "dalits", who would find these topics relevant. We are not promoting anything. We are just bringing another whole set of reviewed articles. Please point out which article is not relevant. I have NOT randomly picked a wiki topic and added my link there.

If you find those articles relevant,please add the links back. I would appreciate that.

Talk pages

Please note that new comments normally go at the bottom of the relevant section, which is why I moved yours. Exploding Boy (talk) 19:04, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

There's no need to throw around accusations about "deceptiveness" and "incivility," and there are other ways to make it clear which specific comment you're responding to besides creating confusion by posting halfway up the section -- did it not occur to you that subsequent comments could be mistaken as responding to your own? In general I find it is much less confusing when new comments are placed at the bottom. This also avoids the situation where long, out of posting order conversations begin to occur partway through discussions. Anyway, I only posted here as a courtesy to you, and have no intention of entering a long, drawn out debate. Exploding Boy (talk) 19:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Siobhan: I moved your comment, you didn't like that and moved it back, and I posted here to explain my reasoning. End of story. Making edit summaries like "I'm sorry you have difficulty with a standard Wikipedia practice" is neither productive nor civil. I see no reason to continue this discussion, do you? Exploding Boy (talk) 19:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Why have you deleted the content

Hi Siobhan, I am working with Mort's assistant to add some content to the relationship counselling article. Why have you deleted the content that I added. You can see that the category Popular methods has several counsellors names, Mort has over 1 million subscribers and is more of a celebrity. I amnot sure why you will want to delete what I added? ~~FertelM~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fertelm (talk • contribs) 21:16, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

why have you deleted this conetent

Hey Siobhan, I put some information about oil additive to the page and you deleted the reference link. Why is this?

Blacklisting

Siobhan - I just logged in for the first time in a month to find that my company's website, www.sexhealthguru.com, has been blacklisted. We have the largest library of health videos on the web (nearly 1,000), and our mission is to provide easily understood health info in a format that engages - video. I added a couple of links to the site, which I saw you deleted. Once I saw that they weren't consdered valuable, I stopped adding them. I'm not sure why our whole site has been blacklisted, but I would really appreciate it if you could un-blacklist us. I won't add any more links dirctly to edit pages - I'll just make suggestions on the talk page from now on. I would appreciate it if you could remove the blacklisting, or provide me with some idea of how to petition for the removal. Thanks, Josh Jrsvc (talk) 22:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Microcredit

Hi Siobhan! I dropped a reasonably carefully thought out bibliography on microcredit onto that page today. Good luck! Note that the bibliographies for microcredit and microfinance and different but there are overlaps. Adams, Graham and Von Pischke is a classic that is looked to as a key source by people working in both areas. On the other hand, a lot of people started out in microcredit in the 1970s and '80s, and moved to microfinance in the '90s and '00s. Most prominently Grameen II (as reflected in Muhammad Yunus' own writing -- the older is a microcredit book; the latter much more balanced (paralleling the changes at the bank itself). The same has happened with Joanna Ledgerwood, whose classic 'Microfinance Handbook' is really almost entirely about microcredit, but whose more recent work acknowledges both the need of poor people for microsavings, and the possibility of profitability delivering microsavings to them (those are the essential points on which the microcredit ideologues -- who remain very loud -- are in denial). There is also an important strand of work in microcredit that focuses on microenterprise. This was a key distinguishing characteristic of the movement and one of its most important contributions to development. Sadly, microenterprise is in even worse shape than microcredit!Brett epic (talk) 11:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, for digital resources -- for digitial resources on microcredit (and a good weblink for Wiki's microcredit page) the best resource is at the Microcredit Summit Campaign [2] or start from www.microcreditsummit.org. For the bigger microfinance picture the best resource might be CGAP's Focus Notes [3] on various topics. CGAP also hosts the Microfinance Gateway -- by far the best resource on microfinance on the internet (with over 7,000 published documents), but unfortunately blacklisted by Wikipedia (if you know how to change that, please do!)Brett epic (talk) 11:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisting, Pt. 2

Siobhan- The linking activiy that you refer to in your last message to me was not intended as malicious or disruptive. I had never used Wikipedia before. Once I saw the notice to stop, I did... The edits that were made after the notice to stop were made by people who weren't logged in and therefore never saw the notice. Everyne in my company understands that they are not to made additional posts to wikipedia. I'm honestly not even interested in being linked to from Wikipedia at this point, I just don't want the blacklist affecting my search engine status, which is external to Wikipedia. I'd appreciate it if you would not oppose my petition to remove the blacklist - you won't see any additional posts from me or my employees, I assure you. Jrsvc (talk) 18:40, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Luciddreaming.com request for inclusion in external links for 'dream' wikipedia entry

We ask you take another look at luciddreaming.com and reconsider its inclusion into external links for the wikipedia entry 'dream'.

Questions regarding postings

Hello Siobhan, Thanks for your reply to our postings on Wikipedia. At Wellsphere, we believe strongly in Wikipedia's mission and the incredible service that you provide in maintaining the credibility of Wikipedia content. In fact, we share the goal of providing credible, objective information to those who are looking for answers on a wide variety of topics. If you take a look at our website (www.wellsphere.com), you will see that there are no advertisements. The focus of Wellsphere is to connect people with the knowledge they need. We would like to support Wikipedia in any way that we can, and would like to ask your help and guidance so that we may support Wikipedia in the manner that you tell us is the best for Wikipedia's users.

Wellsphere has assembled an unprecedented network of 1200 of the best health writers on the Internet. We have hundreds of thousands of articles from these writers who write about both common and obscure health and healthy living topics. Our health bloggers network consists of dedicated medical and healthy living experts from Stanford, Harvard, Yale and other large organizations writing for us. These writers are not paid and are purely voluntary - similar to Wikipedia's model. All our writers are carefully selected by us and individually approved by Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge MD, PhD, who was formerly on faculty at Stanford and Harvard medical schools. For example, we have a preeminent neurosurgeon, a Medical Director of Neurosurgery at a prestigious institution, who writes articles for us on Chiari malformation.

An example is this article about how another brain condition, Arachnoid Cysts, can masquerade as Chiari malformation:

http://www.wellsphere.com/chiari-malformation-article/arachnoid-cysts-chiari/21361

Here are a few more examples of the kind of articles that would support Wikipedia articles:

Prostate cancer screening: http://www.wellsphere.com/general-medicine-article/prostate-cancer-screening/30583

ADHD treatment: http://www.wellsphere.com/add-adhd-article/adhd-alternative-treatment:-lens-neurofeedback/258305

Current thinking on psychiatric therapy: http://www.wellsphere.com/mental-health-article/psychiatric-axioms-revisited/267778

Because we have so many such valuable articles on health and healthy living topics, we thought we might be able to support Wikipedia users who are looking for information on topics related to health.

If you could suggest some possible ways to post information which you would find beneficial to Wikipedia, we would be happy to oblige. Would you like to see us posting links to articles such as these in the appropriate external links section, or should we instead consider reposting selected articles on the relevant topics? Feel free to suggest other options for how we might help. I look forward to hearing from you soon, Thanks!Melsit (talk) 19:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

regarding LiveAdmins black listing

Hello Siobhan,

My request is still pending review here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#www.LiveAdmins.com ----- Could you just have a look at it and inform me the future course of action that needs to be adopted regarding the un-listing of this domain and its related material from the wikipedia resource.

Thank you. Paul.Aucoin.la (talk) 15:35, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Siobhan, I agree with you. Our site has nothing to do with wikipedia it was just the wrong policy of an employee that made all of this happen. There must be some way, any way in which the de-listing can take place. How will i be able to contact the foundation we have failed to even convince you people, and are cases like these forwarded to the foundation?

Paul.Aucoin.la (talk) 07:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

We have been confused with people who would like there spammed or blocked content put back up. That's not our objective, what we are looking for is a second chance, after which we assure that nothing like this will ever happen again. Why don't you have a look around on the website and see for yourself whether spamming would even in the remotest sense help our business. And i am just looking for a second chance, i thought of asking you people because i though that its a pretty normal thing with other people appealing in a similar manner to mine. And Wikipedia being an information would not want to keep a spam list filled with websites so i asked for a second chance to right the wrongs and prove that our organization doesn't spam or promote this activity in anyway. Still searching for a solution to this problem. Would like some help.

Paul.Aucoin.la (talk) 07:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes i am aware of my predicament here on Wikipedia. Can you just clarify "what benefits to Wikipedia" really means. I have heard this statement quite a few times now, but no body has ever clarified what it implies. Do i stand any chance of getting my organizations website removed.

Paul.Aucoin.la (talk) 06:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Lets suppose if i add certain sections to our website and then add content on wikipedia and then make the external link what would be the scenario like then?

and secondly hows about if i find something on wikipedia or something which can be linked to our site, how would that stand out? And am willing to become an editor if that's what it takes to clear the name in a good and descent enough way. But cant the 12 month period be a bit reduced? Or doesn't Wikipedia have another list apart from the spam list like potentially unsafe or something to which this site can be moved to, while i am passing my period of one year. Paul.Aucoin.la (talk) 11:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concern, and thank you for listening to me. I was expecting a little co-operation though still no hard feelings. We still respect Wikipedia and apologize on our behalf. On my part thank you for listening to me.

Until you rephrase your comment to make it seem less slanderous towards our site, then I'm afraid we will have to act accordingly and remove it. As it stands right now with your comment, it suggests our site creates content with an infringing manner and that is not the case. We explained our situation about our content writer very explicitly and made changes accordingly only to discover that this fault was taken and propogated in such a way, as to extort it's weakness rather than strength.

The Wikipedia:Refactoring talk page also states, "Refactoring should only be done when there is an assumption of good faith by editors (plural) who have contributed to the talk page." This goes against your what seemingly appears to be personal vendetta (or personal attack) against our submitted external link. --Crawfd (talk) 01:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Also your comment bordered on incivility and misguides our true representation See: Wikipedia:CIVIL#Removal_of_uncivil_comments Incivility consists of personal attacks, rudeness, and aggressive behaviours that disrupt the project and lead to unproductive stress and conflict.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Crawfd (talk • contribs)

Wedding Websites

Hi there, I'm sorry if I offended you by including the "see also" link on your personal wedding website page. I have reinstated my original "Wedding Websites" page, but will absolutely not add anything further to your page. I hope we can both exist in peace now with our individual pages! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrskeane (talk • contribs) 00:26, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Philanthrocapitalism

Hello,

I have been reading a bit about philanthrocapitalism, and I think that it is incorrect to say that venture philanthropy and philanthrocapitalism are the same thing. Philanthrocapitalism is a movement that extends beyond venture philanthropy. Several people have written about it, including Michael Edwards, Matthew Bishop, and Michael Green. Can we reinstate the philanthrocapitalism page?

Removal of the "China Sourcing Fairs" listing under "Trade Fairs"

Hello. On 21 Sept you removed from the list of trade fairs the entry "china sourcing fairs". Can you justify that? All other listings were left alone and this one follows the format of the table. (203.120.16.145 (talk) 01:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC))

The article "China Sourcing Fairs"

Hi. On 21 sept you tagged the article "China Sourcing Fairs" as a advertisement. That's debatable, because all claims made in the article are backed up by 3rd party sources and quotes. Anyhow, i have edited it even further to a more neutral tone, so it's less disputable. (Jkktay (talk) 01:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC))
