This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 07:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear 198: Thanks for your input on the Brian McLaren article. I was feeling quite alone their with Virgil and his clone (I didn't say sockpuppet even though I thought it!). Please don't do anything else that can be called spamming since we need you to stay with us. Also, be sure to cite edits carefully and at least try to discuss matters on the discussion page. Just a suggestion, but it would enhance your credibility to get a username. Virgil/Frank has gone quite postal (it seems a constant state he lives in -- must be miserable) but I have appealed to various entities in Wikipedia to keep an eye on the extreme goings on in the article. I believe that if we maintain a steady hand and keep calm some of our input will be allowed to stand in the article. I tell you the same thing I told Virgil and "Frank:" I look forward to working with you on the article. Be encouraged, I think we can make it a quality,accurate article!Will3935 00:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Will Again
It pained me to make the comments I did on the discussion page just now about the Wikipedia policy against self-promotion. Not only should we follow policy it seems particularly wise at this time, especially now that "Frank" has been blocked as a meatpuppet and the article was blocked for a couple of days. I do believe your input is valuable but I think one only discredits their own input if they violate policies. It's possible you are not Dave (sometimes people use sockpuppets that role play against themselves in order to discredit those who differ from them -- I can't recall the Wikipedia jargon for that). I will look into that possibility if needed. Anyway, I look forward to working with you on the article.Will3935 05:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

- Just noticed your last warning on spamming at the top of the page. I better go ahead and delete you link before you get indefinitely blocked yourself.Will3935 05:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] your link and article.
Hi - I saw the message you left on Yuser31415's talkpage. Your [1] article is not suitable for inclusion in a wikipedia article for the reasons set out in WP:ATT, broadly the reasons include (but are not restricted to) - Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought - your article is original research, Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources - the site does not match the criteron that is expected for a reliable source. In addition if you own the website (as it appear you do), then it would also be considered a self-published source and again would not be suitable. --Fredrick day 15:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
