Hello, I'm Mdann52. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Bulletproof vest because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Dear Mdann52.

Thank you for your message. The Microflex material from Teijin is a material used by a lot of body armor manufacturers and this information is missing the page. I have no intention advertising any material in particular but as an editor for BodyArmorNews.com I think that an external link to this website is very reasonable.

However it seems that you have a 'double' agenda allowing commercial links to websites of body armor manufacturing companies such as SafeGuard and Jack Ellis.

Looking forward to your response.

Friendly greetings,

I don't see why ou are accusing me of having a double agenda. I removed this purely because the link addition didn't conform to WP:EL. I picked this up from Special:Recent changes - I have no edit history to this page to the best of my knowledge. I have not yet checked the rest of the links - that is something I may consider doing when I have time at your recommendation. Mdann52 (talk) 12:20, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I accused you of having a double agenda as the link and contribution I made did conform to WP:EL but other links and contributions to this do not seem to conform to WP:EL. This page is outdated and as an editor for the independent website BodyArmorNews.com I wanted to update things a bit and add an external link to our website as our website is very related to this subject.

Looking forward to your response.

Friendly greetings,

Scott Burton

Linkspam and image licenses edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi I saw that you recently created a page for a new piece of body armour. I have a few problems with this article.

First off when you created it it was unsourced. All articles must be sourced from their creation and this is essentially why I moved it to draft space.
Secondly the image you added does not come from a US government source and does not contain a mention that it is originally US government work so there is nothing to show it is in the public domain.
Thirdly you seem to have added a source that you have written. This is not the first time and this may constitute WP:LINKSPAM as you are a stakeholder in the publication. You should not be adding it in external links sections.
Finally this page needs better sourcing as per WP:GNG so I shall tag it as possibly not meeting notability requirements.

Please don't hesitate to reply if you need any help with the above points. Dom from Paris (talk) 06:36, 30 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
