[edit] Spam

Please stop Spamming with this Zeno stuff. It will all be deleted anyway. Johnbod 11:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I answered at the deletion request page -- Achim Raschka 15:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I think if you just add individual useful links that is fine. I'm pretty sure the templates will be deleted, as we are very sensitive about Spam & they could easily create a bad precedent. Various institutions, like the European Library & a guy for the V&A museum, have got into trouble for "spamming" in the wrong way. But if all or most of your edits are adding external links a bot will pick that up. Some people are more bothered than me by the ads on Zeno. If there already many links to outside image sources, and a Commons page, you need to look hard at the range, for quality and quantity, and decide if Zeno is better, and worth including. If it is, it may be a good idea to remove the weakest one when you add Zeno (not Commons obviously). Also don't always put it top. Hope that helps. Johnbod 11:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Audio Barnstar

		The Audio Barnstar
		Your adding of sound samples to Whale song greatly improves the article and gives a clear impression of what whale sounds are like. So you deserve an Audio Barnstar. Thanks!  Channel ®   09:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
