From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

[edit] Wikipedia is not the appropriate place to promote Kellen Interactive websites

Please stop. If you continue spamming you will be blocked from editing. --Siobhan Hansa 15:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's important to understand Wikipedia's policies to avoid blacklisting

As a Wikipedia volunteer, I thought I would spell some things out in hopes of avoiding hassles for everyone. I am not writing in an official capacity, but I am providing you links to various Wikipedia policies, guidelines and resources.

Please see the following policies and guidelines:

In a nutshell, people affiliated with Kellen Interactive should not be adding spam links to Wikipedia articles tying them to Kellen clients' web sites. Kellen-affiliated personnel should not be publishing or editing articles associated with Kellen clients.

We're familiar with Kellen Communication's decision to spam Wikipedia with unauthorized, prohibited spam links and vanity articles. That's why Wikipedia's founder has banned Kellen from editing Wikipedia articles.

Please see the discussion of Wikipedia's spam blacklist and decide if this is something you want to pursue. Links to domains added to this list are blocked not only in the English language version of Wikipedia but also in every other language version plus all other Wikipedia Foundation projects such as Wikihow, Wiktionary, etc.

It's permanent.

Think about it. Do you want to force this on your clients?

And also note this October 2006 discussion about a proposed initiative to publish our list of Wikipedia spammers for use by Google and other search engines building their own blacklists. It's unclear that this initiative will come to fruition, but if it does, you would not want your sites' Google placement endangered by spamming Wikipedia.

Cheers,

[edit] Linkspam

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. Wikipedia is not a vechicle for Kellen's promotion of their customers. Kevin_b_er 03:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This account edits in conjunction with another account as well (216.91.92.18)

This user also uses 216.91.92.18 (talk · contribs) to make spam-editsl. This account is a Comcast account in the Atlanta area. The other is owned by Kellen Interactive, a prominent PR firm and known wikipedia-spammer based in Atlanta. Both account have been thoroughly warned. So has this user's employer (by Jimbo Wales). --A. B. 15:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This account is part of the whole Kellen Interactive Wikipedia-spamming initiative

For more information, see:

Note Jimbo Wales' comments on Kellen's moves as quoted in an interview:

""Wales: I deleted the articles and banned Kellen Communications from contributing. I think that PR-firms editing in a community space is deeply unethical, and that clients should put very firm pressure on their PR firms to not embarrass them in this way."
