MindVisualizer[edit]

Hey MindV - thanks for the question. The entries in List of mind mapping software are reserved for applications that have a Wikipedia article, and articles require significant coverage in independent, third party sources. I noticed that the MindVisualizer article was deleted (see the link here), presumably because it lacked such sources; I also assume from your user name that you may have a conflict of interest in the subject matter you are editing. If a significantly sourced article on MV is created, it will be ok to add it to the list. In the meantime, I am reverting your revert of my edit.

Conflict of interest policy[edit]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. [1] --Ronz (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to List of mind mapping software. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

As you advised "The entries in List of mind mapping software are reserved for applications that have a Wikipedia article, and articles require significant coverage in independent, third party sources", would you please advise where this rule is sated in Wikipedia and tell me an example of "significant coverage in independent, third party sources"? How do you verify it? I insist on that MindVisualizer deserves being listed here. Thank you.

Please consider participating in a discussion of your editing here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#User_Mindv. --Ronz (talk) 03:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MindVisualizer[edit]

A tag has been placed on MindVisualizer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of MindVisualizer and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ronz (talk) 03:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

July 2008[edit]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 13:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:Business' FAQ and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.
