Please explain this edit: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criticism_of_Wal-Mart&oldid=11056497 rv edits by Pedant] [[User:Pedant|Pedant]] 2005 June 30 18:29 (UTC)

:<i>(Response on user's page)</i>

Thanks for your reply. Actually the Wal-Mart Superstore and the Pyramid of the Moon are ''both visible'' from the Wal-Mart parking lot, from the top of the pyramid, and from several other locations. It actually is located an easy walk from the Pyramid in other words. It's right outside the area that the United Nations' chief cultural agency, [[UNESCO]], declared a [[World Heritage Site]], and the construction had to be approved by Mexico's National Institute for Archaeology before permits were issued.

Even so, an altar was discovered one foot underneath the parking lot during construction, excavated and conserved on-site. Wal-Mart had to plant tall shrubbery to attempt to conceal the store... basically it ''is'' right next door, closer than my next-door neighbors were at the last place I lived. I reinserted the picture to the criticism section of [[Wal-Mart]] with a caption like 'is within easy walking distance' from the superstore, I don't think thats inaccurate or uncharitable, it may imply "convenience" to some. If you like, please make appropriate changes to the caption. If you are interested, [http://www.google.com/search?q=Walmart+Teotihuacan&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official this link] is a link to a google of ''Walmart Teotihuacan''.

Dear Monkeyman,

please, take a second to take a look at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GraemeL#Why_my_external_links_are_blocked.3F . This is my point of view and seems, that GraemeL agrees with it. So, please, do not delete links (actually there is only one link) to mortgage-site-tools.com .

== Virginia template - newer version ==

I assume that your thought is to replace the current template named Virginia which is positioned at the bottom of the article. If so, I think that the draft is better and would work well in this article. However, I believe the current template is also used in many other individual Virginia articles (ie various regions, counties, cities, etc.) and I am not sure how they would be impacted or how other contributors feel.

We could try and see if we pick up any objections to this somewhat larger and more informative version. Personally, I like the new one better. Those are my thoughts. Thanks for your work on it. Mark in [[Historic Triangle of Virginia]] [[User:Vaoverland|Vaoverland]] 21:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

== credit card interest page ==

Question: I see by the history that you are determined to be rid of one external link on the credit card interest page, yet it seems as relevant as the others. I'm a bit new to Wikipedia -- why is that link less worthy in your opinion? <i>11:18, 7 February 2006 64.24.224.39</i>

== Prussian Blue ==

Hi there! Thanks for your message and advice. I haven't registered yet-- but it is on my list of things to do. Obviously I am new to Wikipedia, so I am still learning things.

About the Talk page on Prussian Blue. My resource was Wikipedia's page in external links, which stated when they should be used and cautioned against using Wikipedia as a links farm. I will look at the other resource. I did in fact ask that there be some discussion on the Talk page, but the person who wants to use the page to promote Prussian Blue doesn't seem to be interested. He just says that he doesn't agree then reverts.I don't have any interest in going back and forth like this, so I really want to know what the procedure to solve situations like this.

PB is a contentious and controversial page-- there are a lot of people who vandalize it regularly, both anti-racists and racists. A lot of good editors have been driven away as a result. If there is a way to formally request resolution (and if this is even appropriate) I would love to know.

Thank you for your time! [[User:38.2.108.125|38.2.108.125]] 17:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry, I forgot to put a title on my last message.

:I have noticed for example that slowly all links that show the group in a critical light have been deleted-- to be repalced by five different "fan sites" and/or personal blogs kept by PB and their mother. This strikes me as promotional rather than encyclopedic. Anyway, it seems to be impossible to keep the page objective when fans sweep in every day to revert back what they don't like.

::Thank you for your reply to my concerns regarding the Prusian Blue page. Frankly, I have given up on that page-- I don't think it is possible to keep it from being turned into a promotional page, and I agree that my time might be better spent elsewhere.

:::Don't give up on Wikipedia just because it seems impossible to keep one article NPOV. When things get heated, I've found it helps to remove those links from your watch list for a few days. It helps things cool down and gives you a fresh viewpoint. There are a ton of good things going on at Wikipedia. It'd be a shame to lose you as an editor just because of one bad experience.

== Spamming ==

Okay, Monkeyman. You are NOT going to defame me or my site. '''I was not spamming wickpedia!! '''

Obviously someone (YOU?) kept deleting my site, which happens to be a

not-for- profit depression website which is an extremely informative, supportive and peer related depression website.

I had, nor do I have any idea whatsoever how wickpedia works.

I just know that a member of ours posted quite awhile ago telling my moderators that she found us on wickpedia....

She had posted the url and surprise, surprise... there we were. I had NO idea how, when, or why.

Back to now....*I* was just spammed by an extremist, terribly horrible group

and so I came looking for information about it, then I went to look at the depression articles while I was here

and found my site was not anywhere in sight.

So I registered and submitted my url next to my other peers' websites on depression.

Admittedly I was trying to find and keep my URL on there that someone, (I do not know who), had submitted months ago and I kept thinking that '''something on this site is really wrong or broken as the URL kept disappearing after continuously editing it....

''' Here it was YOU deleting it all that time! ''I have NO idea why you have targeted my site and kept on deleting it. Period.'' '''I am NOT a spammer.'''

I have had my share of spammers as I did the other day and would not wish it on anyone! ick.

Amazingly, you 'allow' such simular depression sites to add their URL? For example:

* DepressioNet: board for depression sufferers.

* Wing of Madness Forum - Message board and chat (They are listed on my portal)

* BluePages

* TrappedMinds.org

* HealthyPlace.com

Thank you so much for excluding me amongst my 'peers' <smile>

== reverting Mnemonic page ==

I am curious as to why you reverted about three and half month's worth of edits in [[Mnemonic]] the other day. There were several good contributions to that page over that time and I see no reason to delete it all out (rather than manually going through and deleting unneeded information, for example). There may have been many needed edits that you thoughtlessly removed. I would simply revert your reversion, but I assume you have a reason and I would like to hear it first.

== 143.79.13.6 ==

The user seems to a sneaky vandal. After your warning, there came a set of further edits on his part, which looked suspiciously like a sneaky vandalism for me, and coincided with several months old disguise tactics from the same IP. The signal to noise ratio from this contributor is near zero, and I would be happy to support a pretty harsh blocking. Note that the typical low-time blocks wouldn't help --- the edit history has pretty big gaps w/o any blocks imposed so far. Note that the vandalism by this user is neatly disguised and takes a long time to remove. Feel free to quote me if you push for a block; add the address on your contributions watchlist meanwhile...

Did you actually read it or was the fact that its posted on ConsumerMatch.com a Shopping Site? Or is it the Adsense Ad?

::Please elaborate "commercial links", because I don't get it. The trigger of the Article was certainly the Syndication of RSS Feeds and the creation of our Weblog. If one of our partners can't make sense out of this new Technology then there must be a lot of our Visitors that have the same problem. The Article is not about maximizing sales at all? Not even as "hidden" message. (English is my second language but I did not know that it's that bad. I should have written it in german I guess). It's about Blogs and RSS and how they work and what to do with them. My Partner still visits dozens of News Websites directly because he does not know about RSS and Feed Aggregation etc. This Article is meant to be an eye opener and refers to things normal people (non-Geeks) can relate to. Should I add the Post to my Private Weblog which is not related to the whole thing at all and add that link to Wikipedia? http://www.cumbrowski.com/RoySAC/blog/ Oops, I link to a Commercial Site and also have an Adsense Ad on the Page. Should I do what Shopping.com, Priceline.com, Froogle or ShopWIki, Nextag and PriceGrabber did and add a whole new Article about ConsumerMatch.com to Wikipeda and point out there that we have a blog that also contains Useful Post to non-Shopping related things like explanations of new Technologies and buzzwords that seem spanish to joe everybody's?

Are you serious? I still don't think that you read the article and I also think that it would be a useful addition to the article at Wiki because it contains information and explainations that are mission in Wikis Article .... and THAT was the reason why I thought about adding it and then also did.

Regardless of your feeling that Monkeyman's point is "rubbis," the fact is that spam is a huge and growing problem here and we have to be vigilant about it, and your site doesn't inspire confidence on first inspection. I would be happy to be proved wrong, but until I am I have to be against using your link, sorry. [[User:Rodii|rodii]] 01:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

== Webcomics ==

Webcomic notability guidelines are at [[WP:WEB]]. They're basically just a reiteration/clarification of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]], that Wikipedia articles must be based on published reliable and reputable sources. The alternative -- to create an unreliable encyclopedia -- isn't really a worthwhile option. So, for example, one can write a verifiable article on [[Narbonic]] or [[Penny-arcade]] because they can be sourced to the New York Times and other reliable sources. There really isn't much serious debate on this issue -- [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] is official policy. So, your key to webcomics-related deletion debates is "Is this article sourced to reliable sources"? If it's just a cast list and a plot summary with no references to reliable sources, it's a likely '''delete.''' -- [[User:Dragonfiend|Dragonfiend]] 16:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

== Nomination for deletion [[The Evolution Experience]] ==

I was wondering if you would reconsider your recommendation that this page is deleted now that the article has been strengthened, with independent sources. I refer you specifically to MINISTRY MAGAZINE. If you feel that more is needed then please leave me talk about how we can make this article better.

::The following is an extract of Ministry, a national dance magazine in the United Kingdom.

'''EVOLUTION EXPERIENCE, Terminal One, The Park House Centre, Haverfordwest'''''Ministry Magazine, August 2002 Issue, Pages 148-149; "Club of the Month, Evolution Experience" '' (double page review in NATIONAL dance press)

'"Since August 2002 the Evolution Experience crew have dominated the West Wales club scene. Their circus-style events have graced many sea-air-saturated venues in this area, and continue to go from strength to strength. We’re talking a 40k PA system, organomorphic visuals (Que? – Ed) and a light show that would have any hardened clubber reaching for their sunglasses. The combination of police check points near tonight’s venue, the warehouse-style main room and the whistle-wielding clientele give Terminal One a back-in-the-day vibe, of which we heartily approve. No detail has been spared by young promoters Thomas and Declan: the 40ft inflatable chill out church outside is pure class, as is the fun-fair and “bucking penis ride” (don’t ask). The sun is still setting behind us, as Dave Pearce kicks off a ridiculously early 8pm-10pm slot, but the tunes are hard enough to have an already manic crowd jumping for joy. The anthems are flowing as quickly as punters in the 2,000 capacity hanger, and we’re soon down the front getting busy. Things fall into place upon the arrival of rave-master Slipmatt. He’s definitely most at home here, complementing the feel of the night by whipping the punters into a frenzy. Lisa Lashes follows and is as mesmerising as ever, as much an attraction for her superstar DJ persona as her spinning talents. But Terminal One is a night that really belongs to the residents, a tight-knit family of hard dance lunacy that you’re as likely to find along side you on the dance floor than on the decks. The big names were gone by midnight, but the sounds gain velocity, each rezzie taking a half hour turn while the others jump around on the stage area inciting the masses. If you can beg, borrow or steal a copy of their video, you wont regret it. You cannot deny raw talent, and the Evolution Experience crew are a force to be reckoned with, so call the number above, find out about their next event, get a car full and go West."'

::'''PLEASE NOTE: Criteria for companies and corporations'''

A company or corporation is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

''WIKIPEDIAS POLICY:'' The company or corporation has been the subject of ''multiple non-trivial'' published works whose source is independent of the company itself.

This criterion excludes:

Media re-prints of press releases, other publications where the company or corporation talks about itself, and advertising for the company. 1

Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report extended shopping hours or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in business directories.

This criterion ''includes'' published works in all forms, such as ''newspaper articles'', books, television documentaries, and ''published reports by consumer watchdog organizations''.

Hi There! In case you are not watching the deletion talk page, I added this:

*COMMENT-The band's discography from inception until present are mostly releases which also contain their own articles on Wiki and have been deemded as being notable (some had BEEN proposed for deletion but kept by administrators as notable). The band was featured on the most recent Tony Hawk video game as listed on the Wiki article for said game, and the new and not yet released album was produced by the current Guns N Roses bassist. The band might not meet the criteria of mainstream music award winnings or billboard charts, but I do believe these things make it very notable.

== Link to ReturnonAffiliate.com under "affiliate marketing" ==

Sir,

The link placed for ReturnonAffiliate.com under "affiliate marketing" is no more of a commercial link then the other two there "abestweb.com" and "associatesprograms.com". If anything ReturnonAffiliate.com offers more content through blogs and social networking then the other two do. Associatesprograms.com is purely commercial with the goal of selling a product called "sitesell" and other such money making schemes. Currently ReturnonAffiliate.com has no ads and is purely an information site. I would appriciate a reply to this message and feel that it is an appropiate external link. Thank you.

You're not supposed to reprod articles. As the banner says, removing the notice is the correct way of objecting to deletion (of course, the person ''should'' provide an edit summary, but they don't have to). If someone objects, the deletion is controversial. Prod is specifically for uncontroversial deletions. See [[Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion#What_this_process_is_NOT_for]].
