[edit] February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, 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, 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. The Evil Spartan (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
re: Body Snatchers: It wasn't vandalism it was spam, as stated immediately above. Please read our external links guidelines. The Evil Spartan (talk) 04:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

If critique is spam, let's get rid of cinefantastique as well, then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.29.223 (talk) 04:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The problem isn't that it's necessarily spam. However, 90% of the time when an editor comes, and his/her only contributions are adding dozens of links to the same site, it is spam. Perhaps you can explain why it's not spam, and why this site is necessarily legit. Are you affiliated with the site? The Evil Spartan (talk) 04:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes I am affiliated with the site, and I have put a great deal of research into the piece you are editing out, which compares the book's structure and themes to all film versions, with an examination of how the prevalent culture influenced or failed to influence those versions. It is not a tossed-off article written so I could get Google ranking by linking in Wikipedia (not a valid method anyway since Google changed their algorithm late last year), nor was it written with the intent to lead Wikipedians by proxy to the site's front page.

There is no similar article available at the moment on the net. That's not to say I am special, just that no-one else has bothered to write the piece, and as it has something to contribute to the subject, I don't see why it should be excised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.29.223 (talk) 04:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright, then you can put it in. But keep in mind that I am more lenient than others when it comes to such editing, and if you continue to add them in masse, there's always the chance that someone else will remove it anyway. The Evil Spartan (talk) 04:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 04:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
