From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi! Without wanting to start a big argument here and get myself banned or blocked, please can you tell me where an encyclopaediac entry stops and spamming begins? If you take the Wakamezake entry for example, I defy you to show another gallery on the internet that shows the practice as clearly as mine does. Isn't that what Wiki is for? Surely then my entry is valid?

As to the removal of my page... Why are Richard Kern and Petter Hegre allowed entries and I am not? I work with two of the biggest names on the UK fetish scene on a regular basis and am a 'known name'/'brand'. Nothing I entered was false, I can provide links and references to every claim I made. By the ruling, every photographic artist that has a link to their own page should also be considered spamming?

I'd be very interested to hear your reply :)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your page

Since the page has now gone, as you didn't tag it with {{hangon}}, I can't check. Bear in mind that I may see about 200 new pages a night; if a page appears to be advertising and does not have external, independent references, I will tag it as spam. If the admin making the decision disagrees with my recommendation s/he will refuse it, inform me, and I then decide what happens next. It is also deprecated to be editing Wikipedia pages about oneself, although that did not form part of my reasoning. In the circumstances I have asked an Admin to look into this, as there were other issues that needed looking at. Hope that helps. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 00:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

HI there. I was concerned that this page had been created previously, then deleted before you recreated it. That raised some questions I needed to check out. I am now satisfied there is no cause for concern in that respect. However, you still have the problem (if I remember the page correctly) of establishing notability- please have a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people), particularly Basics, Specific Examples of Sources and Additional criteria (Creative professional). I didn't see any of these in your article, if I remember correctly. As I said above, you also need to consider the appropriateness of writing an article about yourself. As to the Google reference, that's a standard component of the spam warning template I used. Whilst I find your work interesting and challenging, it isn't up to me to make it satisfy some of the basic requirements of Wikipedia. Best of luck with starting it again. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 16:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi again,

So... reading the notability page... If I provide links to my IMDb page, links to the 'nude art gallery' where I feature alongside Petter Hegre and a link to an interview I participated in for a large online art community I satisfy the criteria? --neolestat 1 uk (talk - contribs) 02.23, 9 October 2007 (GMT)

Sorry, just checked in on this one. I won't necessarily see replies unless they go on my talk page since I don't want to watch too many pages. IMDb is OK as far as it goes, but then anyone can set up an account there so although it's accepted as independent-ish and reliable-ish, it's not the be-all and end-all. That's one reason we need multiple sources. Links to a gallery where you have exhibited is fine. Link to an interview is fine, as long as it's a traceable journal (we don't for example, permit references to blogs or fanzines). It needn't even be a web source, a book or newspaper is OK, for example (even though they do tend to have online content these days), as long as they can be referenced. For the best ways of doing this, have a look at how to cite sources. But also if you're writing an article about yourself, you do have to be very careful of a conflict of interest arising and someone might jump on it. Hope that helps. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
