[edit] Image scanner

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--John 19:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You are very wrong about my post about Snapter to the image scanning page. I, probably unlike you, have experience in this field. Snapter is a new, and very useful tool. This is an appropriate place for it to be made known because people come here to learn about new things. Wikipedia is unique in that it can be updated fast enough to keep up with technology. Do not remove it again please, as I do not have the time to come back, as I am to busy doing real world image scanning. Other people ought to know about this software. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.163.185 (talk • contribs)

Why not write an article on it, if it is truly significant and reliable sources can be found? Adding external links is seldom helpful. Please don't keep adding it. --John 19:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

John, it should not be its own article because people will not be looking for it. People will be looking for image scanning, which is the article in which it was placed. It is also is one solution of many in image scanning, so it belongs in image scanning. These are not complex arguments, and I do not have the time to do more. I have placed it where it ought be. I will place it there again. You should not edit articles in which your experience is limited. You ought to specialize into what you know, and edit those articles. Let wikipedia be more free then snap deleting things. This solution, snapter, will save people time and money. Most people do not know about it. Please re-read my previous message.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.163.185 (talk • contribs)

No, you are wrong. Furthermore, adding an external link like this looks like spamming. If you repeatedly add an external link, you will eventually be blocked and the link can be blacklisted. Please let's not go there. --John 19:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Spam might be worth reading also. --John 19:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
