User talk:K7aay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandstein: Hello. Please do not create articles with identical content under different names.
K7AAY: I believe you are referring to contributions I made to two already existing articles, which would benefit from consolidation, but I did not create them.
Sandstein: Instead, please create it once and use redirects under the other naming variants that point to the article. I've done this for your CIC-related articles. Thank you. Sandstein 22:26, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
K7AAY: TO be certain, which articles do you refer to?
Sandstein: On second thought: Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the commercial links/content you added
K7AAY: What are you referring to?
Sandstein: were inappropriate, as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should not be used for advertising or a collection of external links. See the welcome page if you'd like to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thanks! Sandstein 22:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
K7AAY: Hmm. So, adding to an already existing list of external links to non-profit community public service organizations is 'spam' and grounds for critique. Perhaps you could take it up with the original poster, who created the list, and not refer it to the person who merely reorganized the list to provide some structure before adding links?
[edit] December 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. I see you've added a link to a small Pagan convention to a variety of Pagan and Polytheism articles. Please carefully consider whether a link is relevant to that article, and look at the other links to see if that sort of link may be appreciated. Do not just list events you think might be interesting to those who read the articles. Thanks. - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 07:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
