/* GeekScholars Movie News */
[edit]I notice that most of your edits include an external link to GeekScholars Movie News. The article you created, GeekScholars Movie News, was speedy deleted some time ago on grounds of notability. There's no evidence that this blog is notable, and you edits appear to be promotional. Are you by any chance connected with that blog? Thanks, Lone boatman (talk) 14:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right, and the page should have been deleted speedily. I was mistaken regarding the rules of the Wikipedia regarding media outlets. I'm a simply fan of the show, and I noted that they were doing something unique with their trailer reviews that no one else is doing. I find their information credible and useful, so I've enjoyed making my edits to Marketing on pages for movies "my thing".
Your recent edits
[edit]Hello. 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. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

- Dear OhNoitsJamie Talk, I assure you that the edits were in no way intended to be promotional, but rather I thought I was following guidelines and protocol for a reliable source and adding interesting and informative content based upon this page: WP:MOSFILM#MARKETING. I've had some other conversations about this and will absolutely stop linking or posting to GeekScholars Movie News until there is greater consensus as to whether or not they are a reliable source. Thanks very much! GambitEyes (talk) 17:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you. The Rotten Tomatoes site usually links to several notable reviewers (Ebert, Bernadelli, etc); those are probably more appropriate. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
