spam edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --AbsolutDan (talk) 23:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The interview itself isn't spam, but the source was. Material ought to be published in a reliable source to be considered a good source of information, and blogs almost always fail this test. If you disagree, however, you're welcome to post your thoughts to the article's talk page here: Talk:Jimmy Wales. If a consensus of regular editors agree that the link is worth including, then it can be re-added to the article. I hope this helps --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thank you for the explanation, this was my first attempt to contribute to Wikipedia. Though I have seen numerous links from TechCrunch, Mashable and other blogs in Wikipedia articles so I thought I could give it a try myself. I have not thought about discussing it on the article's talk page prior to posting but I'll definitely follow this rule from now on, thank you for the explanation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by S Gladkova (talkcontribs) 06:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. If you see other links that are not appropriate, feel free to remove them yourself. A great deal of spam slips past us! If you're ever unsure, you can use the same talk page technique to ask others if they feel the link is appropriate. Cheers --AbsolutDan (talk) 23:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of PushToTest edit

 

A tag has been placed on PushToTest requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 16:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
