[edit] October 2007

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Ridernyc 09:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Foneshop, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from all of Wikipedia. Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 13:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

• The reason that Foneshop got deleted (for the fifth time) is that it appears to be there only as advertising. Unless there are reliable sources that support notability for the company, I can only assume that you're adding the Foneshop article for advertising purposes. Indeed, within the first several pages of Google search results, most of what I saw were commercial links and press releases, as well as one reference that said that Foneshop was doing very well with Google's AdSense program. You asked about CloudNine Communications and Netopia. CloudNine is notable because they were covered in external sources. Netopia is a little more nebulous, but Google News shows independent news stories about Netopia. When Foneshop gets to be as big as CloudNine or Netopia, and is covered in external media, maybe then it will be worthy of an article. Until then, please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Spam. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 17:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
