[edit] License tagging for Image:Drawing2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Drawing2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent insertion of spam, commercial content, and/or links is prohibited under policy. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. You are, however, encouraged to add appropriate content to the encyclopedia.

Thank you. --Hu12 18:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Hu12,

I've read and reread the terms of spamming.

Please see our about us pages at http: //www.healthyheating.com/about.htm We are not promoting a website, person nor are we promoting a product. The resources are all professionals from industry associations, universities etc. S ee http: //www.healthyheating.com/Biographies/Biography.htm The article is a chronological unbiased recount of how PEX evolved and how it is used in thermal comfort. What specifically needs to be edited either in the article or linked site to meet your requirements?

Respectfully,

Neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, Unfortunately the External links policy on Advertising and conflicts of interest states You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked, which is in line with the conflict of interest guidelines. Your contributions to wikipedia under RBean and IP 68.144.30.92, consist mainly of adding external links and is considered WP:Spam. Looking through your contributions as a whole, the majority seem to be external link related only. Spamming is about promoting your own site or a site you love, not always about commercial sites. Links to commercial sites are often appropriate. Links to sites for the purpose of using Wikipedia to promote healthyheating.com are not. Hope that helps clears up the policy issues. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to funnel readers off Wikipedia and onto healthyheating.com, right?--Hu12 22:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Exactly.

However, I would state that INTENT of the wording used "Advertising and conflicts of interest" is to ensure neutrality which we meet unequivocally as a not for profit education resource. Healthyheating.com operates the same as the associations linked at the topic in question with the exception that the linked associations permitted to appear at Wiki, charge a membership and we do not. HH operates solely on volunteers, donations and sponsorships and our content comes from worldclass researchers and building scientists. I have already given you a link to our content contributors and a page describing our sites purpose as a not for profit educational resource. Plus the linking from Wiki to HH is reciprocal – there are a number of links at our site back to Wikipedia…I could see a spamming issue if we were for profit, charged membership fees, sold products, didn’t have reciprocating links and had a purpose other than educating.

The main reason for the PEX History links is not to hog Wiki real estate...it's a six page researched article with much relevance to the topic. It has been peer reviewed by non-partisan parties...Wiki can have the entire article if it wants me to post it rather than link to the source….suggestions?

Lastly, the under floor topic is a mess...including technically incorrect content, misapplied terms and biased towards geographic methodologies. It needs a rewrite…suggested Wiki guidelines to get started? RBean 01:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
