User talk:Uncensoredinterview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] November 2007

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 policy 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. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

As you are involved with the website, adding the links yourself presents a conflict of interest. If you believe that the links improve the Wikipedia articles, then it is better to first discuss it on the articles' respective talk pages. Please take a moment to read Wikipedia:External links and WP:LINKSPAM, if you haven't. Thanks again. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no need to leave Wikipedia, but I will leave that up to you. Consider the following excerpt from Wikipedia:External links:

"If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it. This is in line with the conflict of interest guidelines."

• uncensoredinterview, it looks/feels like spam/self-promotion when your ONLY contributions to Wikipedia are adding these links and when you are editing articles without making the smallest effort to learn about Wikipedia - starting with learning how to sign your posts.

Hi user Kmzundel - I am a human being, my name is not really uncensoredinterview - clearly, I am a human with a role at a job (to maximize exposure of content), so please dont refer to me as SPAM or self-promoting. I am no longer using this account and will no longer make these post and links (as I discussed above with Gyrofrog in the above post) - I dont need snide comments nor indications that I need to "learn about Wikipedia" - I use and advocate PLENTY for this website (and I also know how to cut&paste because I adhered to Wiki format for the posts I created). From now on, I will encourage the BANDS to encourage fans, etc. to make the link and encourage the Wiki site to grow organically with information - I have no intention of SPAMMING or corrupting a tool I use and endorse daily. What I would REALLY love to do is ADD all the bands that are MISSING from Wikipedia, but, for fear of more accusations of spam or misuse, I would rather not spend my Friday night creating something that might be erased by the powerful admins. Dont doubt or attack my character or love and respect for the Internet, this is not my "personal" account (and you have no idea what I might have contributed to Wikipedia over the years!). You are not the only fans of freedom of information. I respect this space and took Gyrofrog's comments seriously. Uncensoredinterview 20:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I think Kmzundel's comment may have been a bit terse, but I don't think he crossed a line with it. I am curious why you felt the need to use a second account for this effort. This is probably irrelevant at this point, given your plan to abandon this account. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
