[edit] Reactor image

Hello Echis, nice images for the reactors in Batch reactor; Owing to such nice work i have a quick barrage of questions. 1) Do you have png versions, that would be better than the jpgs in use at the moment. 2) How did you make them, is it possible for the coil reactor to have the cutaway section like the other two? 3)Dont coiled reactors typically have the coil on the inside of the batch reactor to provide as close a contact as possible between the reactant and the heat transfer fluid? Thanks User A1 13:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Reaction Calorimeter 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 do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Calorimeter. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Chemical Reactor. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion.

I must admit I now doubt your ability to release those images under the licence terms you provide. User A1 (talk) 00:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How Wikipedia handles an apparent conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. EdJohnston (talk) 01:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response to your email about Conflict of Interest

Hello Echis. I am troubled by this recent edit of yours, in which you remove a link to one company's product and substitute another, which we may assume is your own. In your email, you speak of 'several wrong and misleading links,' but you give no data as to what is the matter with the old links.

With regards to 'images that do not belong to you,' you should know that we have a well-organized system here for clearing copyrights on images. Please follow it, and pay attention to the automatic notices, because they are usually correct. If you don't understand one of them, ask a more experienced contributor.

I'm afraid that your persistence in adding external links of a commercial nature risks getting you in trouble. Please cooperate with the advice that various people have given you, including User:User A1, and stop reverting the work of other editors who are questioning the links. Take your concerns to the Talk page; there is nearly always someone available to explain our policies, or listen to objections. EdJohnston (talk) 18:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

As I have no email address to A1, I sent a note to EdJohnstone (a third opinion). To my surprise, the response to this seems to have come from A1. If A1 and EdJohnstone have some sort of association or are communicating offline, I think this should be declared.
On the subject of protocols for inserting pictures, I am aways happy to be put right. When I added these pictures, I completed all the necessary questions and no one can tell me what is wrong. All I have recieved is a baseless accusation that A1 'doubts my ability to release those images under the licence terms I provided'.
On the subject of where and how links can be inserted, it is evident that I made mistakes. I have no problem with that. Where I have a concern however has been the repeated reinstatement of links which should not be there. There are good reasons for this and A1 is aware of them.
I am very unhappy that people can be editors and threaten to block people whilst remaining anonymous and beyond the reach of email. I have asked A1 to identify him/herself or provide me with a contact email without success.Echis (talk) 11:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Echis. Thank you for your answer about the links. User:User A1 did not contact me by email. I believe that I heard about this issue because he listed it for comment over at Wikipedia:Third opinion. Our system must be puzzling to you, because we employ User_talk pages for nearly all direct communication. It is uncommon for people to use email. Your own talk page is User_talk:Echis. Feel free to leave a note over at User talk:User A1 if you want to reach him. Click on the word 'talk' in my signature to reach me. Check your watchlist to see when someone has answered you.
