Why is my external link submissions being treated as spam? the site askussandiego.com and others by city is a tourist info, local directory and attractions guide posted in the correct area. thanks. ~~~~jsdowney

Hi,

I have no idea if this is the place to reply. If not I apologize. I am very confused. I added 3 lines of text to the Amundsen High School article. I get a message urging me not to add any links. I did not add any links as far as I know.

I have since deleted any changes I made.

Sorry for breathing.

Hi, you deleted three links that I inserted - an account of the runner's high on 'Endorphins' and a link to an academic paper directly connected to 'Transcendentalism' and 'Romantic poetry' (title: On Being God). I cannot understand why these would be inappropriate. They are not promoting anyone or selling anything, merely providing a further resource for the topic in question.

Please reappraise your deletion.

Thanks

RE: UFC Edits

It is my site, but Sherdog links are all the same and pointing to the same site and very well could have all been put there by the same person. Please correct the situation but I think either all likes of this nature should be removed (including Sherdog's and others) or my links should be allowed to stay. If it would be better to say "Fighter name's" UFC Record would that be acceptable. Note that all the links point to their individual fighter pages, not the site home page. Thanks for the help. I am really confused on all of this.

UFC Edits

Hello. I am the person who added links to UFC Articles on Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson. I did so in good faith and am wondering why exactly they were deleted. Links to Sherdog are very similar in nature yet are allowed to stay while mine were removed. The profiles I linked to are different from others in that they include articles about the fighters, their biographical information, their UFC record, and photos and videos. I think these offer something new for Wikipedia visitors to look at and should be allowed to be added. If you could clarify this for me that's be great! Kris

Contesting a Revert

I removed the section because 1) It was based on original research based on non-English primary source documents, 2) Source was based on Baidu Baike, which is basically Chinese version of Wikipedia that any user could edit. I do not get how it is considered as vandalism. 66.108.252.91 01:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Spam warnings

Hello. I know you're getting frustrated with the person who keeps adding the space x-change link on House swapping, but don't you think jumping right to a {{spam4}} was a little harsh? They'd only been warned with a {{uw-spam1}} before, and they seemed (from what little, virtually non-existant conversation I could find) not to realize what was wrong with their link. I've re-added a hidden comment inviting them to the article's talk page. Why don't you leave a polite comment for them there; something that explains what you find objectionable about their link. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 04:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I mean, they've all been inserting the same link and they all share the same base IP address, which leads me to guess that they're all one person or working together to keep reinserting the link. Corpx 06:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, they probably are all one person - and it is spam; but I don't think they understand what's wrong with it, and no discussion has occurred on the talk page. Anyway, I was just wondering what happend to spam warnings 2 and 3. :) ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Confederate Flag?

Your revert of this one link sure as hell needs some explanation. It is not vandalism at all. Au contraire. It is evidence that not all African Americans consider the flag a racist symbol. How can that possibly be vandalism? It adds VERY important information, since the article indirectly and incorrectly claims all African Americans consider the flag a racist symbol. I have reverted you revert, and if you touch it again I will complain about your behaviour and ask for your being banned. 80.167.218.195 19:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

According to link my edit was not and never will be vandalism. 80.167.218.195 19:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You're trying to make a point, which is only referenced by one image. The image could just as easily be photshopped, and the persons in the picture could just as easily be not African American and could be from Central America/Africa. Your assertion is not supported by that image. Corpx 19:51, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

There is no way that picture could easily be photoshopped. Just edits are very easy to see. At the very least you must have a trustworthy source for that claim. Otherwise your actions are merely vandalism and extreme POV. Calling my edit vandalism is obviously VERY incorrect. 80.167.218.195 19:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

And yes, you're right. The edits do not qualify as vandalism, so I'll remove the warning. Corpx 19:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Perhaps a compromise can be reached? You remove my edit and I'll check the validity of my source. Based on what we find we will either leave out my edit or add it back. Is that a possible compromise? 80.167.218.195 19:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to add the assertion back if its backed by a valid source and not just an image. Corpx 19:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

An image is according to WP-guidelines a valid source. I will however see if it is possible to establish the nature of the image. If anything indicates (or even hints) it may be fake nothing will be added. 80.167.218.195 19:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Any reason you reverted Blueberry muffin?

It has been listed as a merge to Muffin since April, a good idea since this article is mostly about muffins, not specifically blueberry. 71.110.163.137 05:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I left on your talk page right after the reversion Corpx 05:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

You want a couple of days consensus? Dude, it's been up for debate since April. I see you're a very keen user of the revert function - but sometimes you have to do a little more. Like look at the article. If you spent more than a few seconds looking at Blueberry muffin you'd realize that it should be redirected to Muffin. 71.110.163.137 05:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

curious AFD comment

I saw an AFD where you said "Delete Wikipedia is the first relevant link in google search | Not notable". You might not have noticed that Wikipedia is the top search result for most biographical subjects. That observation in itself is not a valid reason to delete something. —freak(talk) 10:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you.

I don't understand where the 'article for deletion' listing went for Anton Bohdal but I don't think this article should exist and I'd like a vote.Ryoung122 02:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC) Your !vote on school notability was ignored Your !vote in favor of keeping the article Father Michael Goetz Secondary School at this AfD was ignored by a closing administrator who decided that your vote did not properly explain why the school was notable. While many people think that all schools are notable, we need to make specific claims that the specific school (or anything else you're !voting to keep) is notable. I strongly encourage you to review the requirements of Wikipedia:notability and to consider modifying the justification of your decision to keep an article in any future AfD, school or otherwise. If based on your review of Wikipedia policy and a particular article you feel that the school is indeed notable, a variation of the text "Keep because notability is demonstrated by citation to multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject significantly", (as suggested here), will clearly state why you feel that the article meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. If you do not properly support your vote, you take the risk that your participation will be ignored if the closing administrator so chooses, as has already happened to your vote at this AfD. If you feel that your !vote should not have been ignored, you may want to visit the deletion review to express your thoughts on the subject.

If you look down at the basic math level, I think most RTS games and "pro" matches have much more possible outcomes. 14:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Chess is not about probability. If your misconceptions about chess are this great, I respectfully suggest that you should recuse yourself. Bubba73 (talk), 15:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC) If I can map out every single outcome of every single move and the following ones, I would be unbeatable. Maybe probability wasn't the best word I was looking for. Maybe "number of possible outcomes" Corpx 15:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC) That's a big "if". If you could do that, but you can't. No one can, and no computer can. Bubba73 (talk), 15:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Give me some supercomputers and a couple of years and I think I could. Maybe even a SETI type project to distribute the load Corpx 15:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Well, if that is true, then maybe chess is a complex game after all :-). Peace. Bubba73 (talk), 15:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Yea, but I dont think those supercomputers can crunch out every possible outcome for an RTS ;) Corpx 17:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC) You know, there are many orders of magnitude more chess positions than there are atoms in the universe. So even if you could convert all of the matter in the universe into one giant computer, and if you could store a position in only one atom, you could still do only a very tiny portion of the positions. So good luck with getting it done as you describe. Bubba73 (talk), 22:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Highland Village Hey, I found there was an AFD for Highland Village (Houston). Turns out there is a Highland Village, Houston, Texas about the subdivision surrounding the shopping center (I wrote THAT one), so I redirected the former to the latter.

Please respond at the AfD. --Nondistinguished 16:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC) The books you linked to are not notable per WP:BK and so they cannot confer notability onto the author.

The school is a Blue Ribbon School, the highest award to a US School. TerriersFan 20:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Hi Hi there. I was curious about this ([2]) edit. Do you know more about the contributor than the edit history suggests? Happy to accept a "yes" answer, lol! --Dweller 21:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC) No, unfortunately I dont anything else about the user in question. I left a message on the tagger's page here Hope that helps Corpx 21:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Agree that it's not the usual type of SPA but it's a very odd account. Your edit summary ("established user") is both accurate and inaccurate - the account's only 2 days old, but in that time, they've stacked up a whole bunch of AFD edits, mostly delete. I wonder if it's a SPA deletionist account... not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that! I'm just curious about him/her. The edits read like an established user's. I wonder if it's a sock. --Dweller 21:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Ah. I see I'm not the only to wonder... (Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#SanchiTachi) --Dweller 21:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC) I have no problems dealing appropriately if the user is a sock and actions have to be taken; however, I dont the user is a WP:SPA Corpx 22:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC) My RfA Thank you for your support in my successful RfA. I appreciate the trust you and the WP community have in me. Carlossuarez46 22:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC) WP:AfD Hello, I find we agree almost all of the time on this board. I keep posting "as per Nom and Corpx." However, I feel that an article with real promise, and a real premise, such as Early childhood development, ought to be a keep and we can fix it. Anyway, keep on being bold. Bearian 23:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC) Give Me A Break Hey Man, Give me a break, I don't know what the hell i'm doing. I don't know where i'm supposed to leave comments or whatever. This whole site is confusing. Quit treating me like i'm some expert of wikipedia. If you want to delete my pages, then go ahead, because like I said, I have no idea how to. I didn't know you guys would would throw a fit and have a meltdown over some lousy pages. Jesus christ, you people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BillboardFan (talk • contribs) Whoa dude, I was just trying to help you out - You left the message on the talk page and not the actual AFD page. Corpx 14:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Molly McGinn Hey --- seems as though the author recreated the page after it got speedied and the discussion was closed. I tagged it as {{db-repost}} (though technically I'm not sure if that's applicable to an article speedily deleted during an AfD discussion) but the author responded with {{hangon}} and then went to sleep. Do you think the discussion needs to be reopened? Cheers, cab 09:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Bleh, actually I am not an administrator. I just added the closing tags because it was already deleted by somebody else Corpx 14:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image (Image:Battlefield 2 ss.png) Thanks for uploading Image:Battlefield 2 ss.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Understandable Understandable why you want to move it to a neutral page. I guess i should have put a link. . . Oldag07 21:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC) It wasn't that I didn't want to leave comments at the A&M wikiproject, I just didnt want to leave the same comments at 3 different places. Corpx 01:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC) NFLretired Just fyi, I made some adjustments per your requests. You can find my response here. Jmfangio| ►Chat  23:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Hookem back at u AFD advise I been closing several AFDs lately and I noticed you voted keep just because of the number of google hits are high. You should know better than that, that it isn't a reason for keeping an article, especially if there are other concerns with it. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 21:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC) Those were google news hits :) AFD Corpx 21:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC) Marshall Becker Are you sure answers.com *only* takes material from wikipedia?
