July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages

Dear Author/QuiteUnusual

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Helicobacter Pylori. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 13:26, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just edited Exile on Main Street. It was me i just forgot to log in

Hi, so you deleted wat i posted, and I am aware that accolades of it being one of the best in music history are cited all over the page, so i thought i might as well not make a reference. so i will put it back up there, i hope that is a valid statement to make for the article.

Well, it sounds a bit excessive, but let's leave it there and see what others think QU TalkQu 21:17, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

What is criterial for spam link

I wrote a blog with very informative information about web application. Is spam link defined by the content of link or who added it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yajunliu (talkcontribs) 17:36, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Acceptable external links are defined by WP:EL and, as you will see under the section where it details links to avoid, blogs are not generally considered useful. Adding a link to a blog you wrote makes it more likely to be considered spam. QU TalkQu 21:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

dropped link

hi there, not sure i fully understand why, but you dropped a link to my blog article on reverse grads. i had thought this would be a useful addition to the original article, yet you claim it's spam. While slightly offended, I do feel this is a little harsh. I have nothing to gain from this action and was merely trying to offer additional content to a closely related topic. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts QU. Barney — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barneydelaney (talkcontribs) 22:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
