User talk:Mrybin

Calltech and others how come you did not answer my question?

Blanking a user page is considered vandalism. Please stop! Calltech 11:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at your talk page history (which you deleted!), I responded to your posting (31 Match) the very same day!. Calltech 12:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Value or Injury?[edit]

Dear Calltech, I am sorry about deleting your page. I will not do that again. I did not know how else to prompt you to answer. Obviously, you misunderstood because you thought you had already answered my question, when you did not.

When you delete content and call people vandals without helping others by answering their questions on your talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Calltech it looks like you are not neutral, and do not represent the true spirit of Wikipedia. Is this true? This makes it very difficult to understand what good reasons you have for these actions.

From reading other peoples responses, on one side, it seems to provoke and push away many excellent contributors. On the other side, it looks like you may have done a good job because of some glory (The Editor's Barnstar) and recognition (Satori Son).

As a whole, do those reviews sound like your actions genuinely represent the true intent of Wikipedia? Or do they demonstrate an example that injures Wikipedia and leave the community in a poor state?

I feel like a little more kindness and conservative editing would be better for Wikipedia and everyone. I believe this is not easy. Nevertheless, I wonder if you believe this would improve the value of Wikipedia? Sincerely, --Mrybin 22:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, if I offended you by placing the warning message on your talk page, accept my apologies. However, the warning is actually a message that was created by many editors as the first message a new user should receive when they make an edit that violates WP:EL guidelines - the warning is considered mild but firm.

Regarding your edits, adding multiple External Links to commercial websites on a highly visible article is a major issue at WP. If you look at the history of the article where you placed the links, you will see the problem. Everyone wants to put a link there. I referenced the article WP:SPAM for you to read because it includes all the why's and why nots, while the article WP:EL spells out the guidelines associated with adding external links to WP. I hope you find this information useful. Calltech 00:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
