[edit] Comedy Zone

This website doesn't appear notable, and it has pop-ups and other prominent ads. It was created by a user whose only other contributions were adding www.comedy-zone.net as an external link to other articles. Wmahan. 16:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete If you think it's spam, by all means delete it. It is however a notable site and I used it to practise my first edits thinking that it wouldn't be perceived that way as it's a reputable comedy site in an area that got loads of ad laden sites in it (there's only one pop-up on the entire 5,000 page plus site by the way). I certainly won't be adding any external links to any edits I do again here, that's for sure! Tuneless | Talk 17:30, 13 October 2005 (GMT)

  Your efforts are apprecated. I wasn't implying that there's anything wrong with the site, just that it didn't seem particularly notable. As you pointed out, there does seem to be a lot of spam on comedy-related pages. And as I just explained on your talk page, it's certainly nothing personal. -- Wmahan. 22:44, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Sorry if I appeared a little defensive in my response, I've read up on lots of editing info now (that perhaps I should have read before I started editing, I know - but we all know what men and instruction manuals are like don't we!), and can understand why my edits might well be construed as spam. I'd like to reiterate though that any notion of intentional spamming is simply not the case. The Comedy Zone is a very popular site and doesn't need to use spamming tactics to get more visitors, so I'd rather that any edits that are questionable in this area are simply deleted (including this page, although I personally believe that it's valid), as I've no desire to be even remotely associated with such nefarious activities.
