Find your best

[edit]

I have reverted your changes to the {{AM station data}} and {{FM station data}} templates as it appears you added links to en external site that is not a recognized source of official information about US radio stations. Indeed, it appears to be an attempt to add a spam link to thousands of articles simultaneously. - Dravecky (talk) 19:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

fm-radio-stations.findyourbest.com is a legitimate databases of radio information which is being added to daily. There is no advertising on the site. If there are any errors in their database you are free to submit corrections. I don't think you calling it 'spam' and saying it's not an "official site" (by your definition) is very professional. --Kjpoconnor (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have once again reverted your changes to the {{AM station data}} and {{FM station data}} templates as it appears you added links to an external site that is not a recognized source of official information about US radio stations. Do not re-add the "find your best" links to these templates without a full discussion on the WikiProject Radio Stations talk page. - Dravecky (talk) 23:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of FindTheBest.com

[edit]

A tag has been placed on FindTheBest.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. 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), 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.

I think you'll find that self-promotion on Wikipedia at best looks cheesy and tacky; at worst it can really blow up in your face, publicity-wise.

So, please don't edit articles to which you have some connection:

Likewise, please do not add links to your organizations:

And, finally, please do not create templates promoting your business:

This caution also extends to the Template:FMFTB you created and further you should take it as a caution against creating Template:AMFTB as well. - Dravecky (talk) 23:11, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Kjpoconnor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have only added non-commercial, legitimate links in areas where I have expertise. It would be helpful if you actually gave a specific example where the edit did not provide value to the article. I do not believe there is a single edit which would qualify as "spam" which means a commercial, unrelated message. It would also be more appropriate if you simply rejected the edit then to block me from the system.

Decline reason:

If you don't "believe" that persisting in writing about yourself after being asked not to do so is inappropriate, and if you're going to continue doing it, then the block is necessary. I don't think there are any editors who are interested in the job of reviewing all of your edits to remove the ones in which you write about yourself; a block is a much easier way to accomplish the necessary outcome of preventing you from continuing to write about yourself.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Kjpoconnor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I believe I have followed your policies completely. When I have written about things where I have a potential or perceived conflict of interest I have exercised extreme caution. I hate spammers probably as much as you do. However, I don't see where any of my posts come remotely close to meeting the definition of spam. I have only posted factual, objective links in a few areas where I know there is objective, factual data relating to the article. If you can provide me with an example where this is not the case it would be greatly appreciated. If you are telling me the new policy is a person is prohibited from writing anything where they may have a connection, and presumable expertise and factual knowledge, then tell me and I will fully abide by the new policy.

Decline reason:

There's no new policy. I don't get to insert links into Wikipedia promoting, advertising, or even pointing to my business, organization, or website; neither does anyone else. You've done nothing but promote findthebest.com and yourself personally. --jpgordon::==( o ) 02:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment With regard to your emails, I've just seen them today. Unfortunately, the problem seems clear-cut; you've been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes. --Ckatzchatspy 07:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Crane Country Day School Logo.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Crane Country Day School Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 12:51, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
