old wrong url that Hu12 erroneously assigned to user was here
[edit]mistake by Hu12
[edit]The above entry is mistake by Hu12. I never linked in the gokiosk dot com which is a spammer site and preys on off-url-traffic from the kiosk blog site www.gokiosk.net
gokiosk.net is recognized industry-wide as non-profit kiosk industry news blogger which accepts no advertising and publishes news solely based on relevance/occurrence. Many sites publish news based on advertising budgets.Craigkeefner (talk) 17:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
i think a mistake has been made. I've been editing the internet kiosk page for a long time and included those real and information links to try and balance. I wish someone had checked with me first. I've made some suggestions for page edits on the internet kiosk page now under a new login but I really would like to "de-blacklist" legitimate urls. One url listed is not even related to me (the go-kiosk dot com which IS a spammer/link page) Sent email(s) to Hu12 but no response yet
Decline reason:
While some of your few edits have been constructive, you have over a period of time continued to add links to the same website, and persisted in same. — Daniel Case (talk) 22:49, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit]I appreciate someone getting back to me (Daniel?) though no offense but this is very inefficient communication. Nobody likes having their name associated by mistake with a site they are not associated with (ie gokiosk.com). Maybe I entered a .com instead .net
Reality is that for years people/vendors went back and forth on edits trying to make sure their links are represented and then at some point the rules become no links and anyone who posted legitimate company links is "blacklisted".
It's weird but as an internet moderator/publisher for kiosks I used to get whacked by editors/publishers at magazines for not being legitimate/qualified. They never worked in kiosks or really knew them, but they would claim "journalist/newswriter" credential. Now that the positions are reversed, you still get whacked but now its internet editors that are great editors, but really have only a shallow understanding at best of the industry (no offense).
Anyway -- is there some way to delete this account? I'll maintain my/the history of electronic kiosks outside of Wikipedia. You resemble DMOZ I think in retrospect.
Thanks anyway!
Looks like you can rename/delete the account Daniel. I would very much appreciate just being removed from Wikipedia. No hard feelings.
mistake made
[edit]I'm not real skilled with your system but I did try and doublecheck to see if I had fat-fingered in www.gokiosk.com as Hu12 calls out. gokiosk.com is a spammers page (someone in Phillipines I think). Anyway I did put gokiosk.net which is non-prejudiced, non-profit, industry blog for news. It has all companies not just ones I have worked for. Its ironic because a prior link for selfserviceworld was allowed even though that is pay-for-advertising site.
Doesn't make any sense at all but then Hu12 is an editor, not a educated kiosk industry participant so he can't be faulted for not considering it more carefully. And again, I recommend administrator email editors and let them know things so we don't wake up (as far as we know) with a brand new set of rules (an another medal on an administrators page I think...).
request
[edit]I am trying to figure out how to extricate myself from Wikipedia. John Houghton may be of some help. Other editors either don't respond or are a one-way one-shot. Any clear suggestions appreciated.

Your comments have made it clear that you do have a conflict of interest in the area you have chosen to edit in. That is almost certainly the reason why you don't get why edits you think are harmless are seen by the Wikipedia community as an attempt to use the encyclopedia for advertising purposes. So, you need to show some comprehension of the issue and agree to limit your editing in areas where you are unable to be objective. You need to post another unblock request that addresses these concerns specifically. There are further avenues of appeal, such as emailing WP:BASC, but I don't believe we're at that point yet as you are still able to appeal here on your talk page. By the way it's a really bad idea to post your personal contact email anywhere on Wikipedia. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:55, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm part of the Kiosk Council (http://www.digitalscreenmedia.org/self-service-council) and we want to add some of our documents on ADA, PCI, and ROI for kiosks. The old mistake from Hu still in place.
