ADVERTISING? edit

Look, I came to wikipedia a month ago to find out about first and second fix. It wasn't here. I went off and researched it and created a page describing it and added the best descriptions I could find out on the web and it takes someone less than a minute to accuse me of advertising?

I'm getting fed up with wikipedia. Edit my content if you want but don't falsely accuse me. Emrys2 20:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Keep. These seem to be terms rather than advertising for anything. Needs a total rewrite, however, but has potential, especially since there is no "UK" version of Wikipedia. Kntrabssi 21:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Can someone please say in what way "This article or section is written like an advertisement."? It doesn't look like an ad at all to me! It's not offering any product or service - just explaining some jargon. ??? Emrys2 08:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • These are definitely terms used in the UK trade. My neighbour just used them to comment about the semi-detached house that is being refurbished next to us. The advertising thing is spurious, however is this a term definition rather than an aspect of the homebuilding industry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nearchus (talkcontribs) 15:33, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
The only thing remotely advert-like was the passing mention of a certain TV program at the bottom. Not even that was really advertising, but I removed it just to erase all doubt. The purpose of the article still stands, which is that someone who simply wants to know what these terms mean can come here and find out. I removed the {{advert}} tag. The original {{db-spam}} tag added on 2007-03-12 was never really that applicable to this article. I think it was probably added in a too-hasty manner without much thought. Fixed now. — ¾-10 12:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Surely those two links at the bottom are advertizing? they have very little to do with the article, and appear to be to a commercial company —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.134.66 (talk) 18:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree, those two links add no value and are to a commercial company. Other than that I think the page is worth keeping. Nickharris76 (talk) 11:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
