March 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Hipster (contemporary subculture) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Irn (talk) 15:12, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hipster (contemporary subculture). 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 guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. 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. -- Irn (talk) 19:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PhPixie Promotion[edit]

http://.phpixie.com

Hello, Dracony. You may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest including WP:NOPAY. All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People with a close connection to a subject need to be aware of Wikipedia's policies;

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view. You may also wish to avoid giving the impression that your account is to be used for promotional purposes. Regardless, doing so does not exempt you from compliance with Wikipedias policies.--Hu12 (talk) 03:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am quite aware of the policies and I didn't intend to break any of them. I don't quite understand how did my changes violate the natural point of view policy, there was nothing in terms of "it is the best framework out there" etc, just some quite objective data being added to the comparison table. It is no lsss notable than some of the frameworks already listed in the table. E.g. Nagare has received much less attention and its page lacks in notability but it didn't get removed from the framework comparison for quite a while. It is actually quite unfair when my submissions get removed when these persist. Also I don't feel that your blanking up my article for submission and marking it as spam is in any way reasonable because as it is in a sandbox it would hardly do any promotion and secondly I was going to edit it citing something more objective and notable. If you have any justification why my article for creation was marked as spam while not having unrelevant or excessive links I would really like it pointed out to me, because I just don't see it.

dracony.org[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See public relations, and marketing and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

How is making an "Article for creation" sandbox page considered spamming ?Dracony (talk) 05:21, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly does my username violate? You state that my username promotes a product. My username is a nickname I've been using for lots of years now and its obvious I would have a blog by same name too. I did not spam that blog at all.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dracony (talk • contribs) 05:21, 21 January 2013‎

Your a Spam / advertising-only account. Your contributions, consist entirely of using Wikipedia for the sole and primary purpose of promoting your sites (rageslide.com, how-to-be-a-hipster.com, dracony.org), with the most recent being phpixie.com. Within ONE WEEK of registering your site phpixie.com (2012-12-28) you put in a request for an article about PHPixie, sourced it with phpixie.com and your own personal blog dracony.org, then started spamming it on Comparison of web application frameworks. Your promotional spamming goes far beyond just Wikipedia and is evidenced with excessive amounts of Forum spam and Comment spam all over the internet[1]. It has become apparent that your account is only being used for spamming and for self-promotion. Wikipedia is NOT a "vehicle for advertising". Equally Wikipedia is not a place to to promote your sites. --Hu12 (talk) 06:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You must be obsessed with spam, because while my commenting activity on other sites may perhaps count as promotion, it is certainly not spam. I don't know if you have sen a spam comment before, but they usuallyy don't tent to get replies from other users. The comments were releant to the topic ad not posted on e.g. pet sites. Plus in any case this would hardly count as a reason. The reason why it was posted withing a week of getting a domain is simple, I never though people would consider it notifiable enough to be on wiki until it got one, so I added the page after the site was fully ready. At any rate you could just oppose the article being approved insead of deleting it, as it is hardly a consensus decision, e.g. at least 2 other editors that denied me page creation did not find it to be spam, rather just lacking notoriority, something that I wanted to work on and resubmit the page later on. I did npt abuse page resubmition, nor wasi trying to add some totally unrelated refs like for example those comments etc to fool someone. Me creating a single page for a perfectly valid object is not an act of spam and while it may not be a good reason to get that article approved it is certainly 'not a reason for an indefinite ban'. As for me editing the PHP frameworks article as you may have noticed after you deleted my alteration stating that they shouldn't be there I complied, didn't try to readd them, nor did I try to add them somewhere else. So basically I acknowledged your warning and 'still got banned'. If you are banning me for this now, then what was the reason of warning me in the first place? You warn me, return and ban me, even though I complied with the warning.

{{unblock|1=I did not spam the PHPixie framework at all. I created a perfectly valid article for creation and was in the process of editiing and adding information to it (as I received a message that it didn't cite enough resources to be notable). That article got deleted and my attempt to answering the editor using my talk page has been totally ignored. I restored the article (that was still not published yet, so it could hardly spam anything) to try to add things to it and today I am banned with the reason being "My username" which doesn't have to do with anything. }} Template disabled due to duplicate request below.

I see two problems here: promotional username (it becomes promotional as soon as you start linking to your site, so arguing otherwise would be fruitless) and conflict of interest. So the solution would be to change your username and not write about PHPixie or link to your sites. Does that sound acceptable? Max Semenik (talk) 08:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind changing the username at all, I tried doing it just now but I can't seem to find it how to change it in my preferences. As for PHPixie, the article already didn't pass the "article for creation" review and I'm not pressing on it, so I don't think there's much point for me to write about it anymore, at least for the time being.

You cannot change name while blocked. The correct path is to apply using {{unblock-un}} which is unblock request to change username. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 13:09, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

at the request of an editor

Decline reason:

After discussing with Hu12 and carefully reviewing your edit history, I'm declining this unblock appeal. Your activity on Wikipedia has consisted solely of attempts to link to or promote various websites with which you are affiliated, and I see no evidence that you ever plan to do anything else. I can therefore find no reason that Wikipedia would benefit from you being free to edit again, and thus I'm afraid the block is staying in place. Yunshui 雲‍水 19:06, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should be aware that, as you imply, Wikipedia has a much stricter definition of spamming than most other websites, and that our policy on names that represent a group or website is also quite strict, much more so than most other websites out there. I only mention this as I don't want you to think you were singled out or that the rules are being selectively applied, we block users for this sort of thing all the time. We simply cannot let Wikipedia be a place for organizations, businesses, websites, etc to write their own articles, that is contrary to our core principles of reliable sourcing and neutrality. If you think you can get down with working that way we can probably see our way clear to unblocking you. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't feel like I have been singled out. It was my fault underestimating the strictness of the policies. I don't mind working that way at all. Dracony (talk) 20:46, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
