Welcome![edit]

we added the name of a new online newspaper. no advertising just a link- so if we added a link to an atlanta newspaper that you approve of then would it be okay- censorship do not threaten us to cancel our account- maybe you should step down of you I am god soapbox.

February 2021[edit]

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Atlanta, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Stop adding your spam website to Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:14, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship- just adding a new newspaper-

Is this a threat ? Are you personally theatening me ? We have filed a complaint-

Your edit was remarkably similar to this spam edit and this spam edit, and this exact same spam edit to Atlanta...and others. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:54, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you might as well know that WP:EL says we should not add external links in this manner. For the most part, they should only be used to source cited content to WP:RS. And yes, these look like WP:SPAM to me.

@Magnolia677: don't know if you noticed the relevant ANI thread. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:01, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

so we cannot add a name of a new newspaper that has come out unless you personally approve. Why are you threatening us ?

Personally approve? Frankly, I ceased caring long ago. HOWEVER. Spammers get blocked very quickly once caught. My advice is to find some way of constructively editing the encyclopedia. And this is an encyclopedia, with inclusion requirements for content. Thanks. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We?[edit]

Are you royalty or do you have a mouse in your pocket? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:49, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

censorship so we cannot add any new online newspapers to wikipedia- And you did threatened us.

we added it to the section that lists all the media in a perticular city- newspapers and radiostations and you deleted it and threatened us.

this is your only warning- ? really what happens you come to our offices and have us thrown out ?

So tired of the censorship

so we request removal of all the newspapers listed in the media section on your platform- we are being discrimidated against and threatened.

Really? We who? Who is "we". Sorry, user names are one per user. We do not have group accounts here. Well, not me. I welcomed you and advised you of relevant rules.

Cheers, --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:11, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tired of the censorship? Have you been stopped from spamming before? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:12, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

we added to the atlanta media section talking about the newspaers in atlanta- we added our new publication you call it a spam listing- https://www.townatlanta.com sou our employess and investors are not legitimate ?

Four things: A: You don't get thrown out of your offices, instead you get blocked if you break policy seriously enough. B: You haven't answered the original question of why you said we, so please answer that. C: If your going to add information as such, make sure it meets the notability standards. D: please sign your posts by adding ~~~~ to the end of your posts. 4D4850 (talk) 21:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

we are new to wikepedia did not realize same political crap as facebook and twitter no we just signed up for this account today

Sorry for moving your post to a more human-readable position. Also, if I'm understanding policy correctly, owning a company and making edits about it qualifies as paid editing. 4D4850 (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2021 (UTC) so would you care to talk to one of our reporters about this situation- a great story is emerging- Wikepedia id\s a fraud run on a censorship platform. we just added a name of a new newspaper- nobody paid anyone.[reply]

I'm going to cut to the point here - if your sole purpose here is to spam external links, now is the time to stop. Persistent spammers will be blocked and have their sites blacklisted so nobody can link to them any page in any namespace, or even be used as a source. We do not include every single link we can find to external link sections - see WP:EL. Once again, who is "we"? Pahunkat (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

so this is how you welcome new users   This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Atlanta, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Stop adding your spam website to Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:14, 14 February 2021 (UTC)   apm website- sounds like Magnolia has somesort of GOD complex- just adding the name of a newspaper to the list already in media- so you send a nasty response ? Here is what I hear from your community- do as we say- Warnings, Threats, now we hear blacklist, blocked - what if we blacklisted wikepedias ip from all our servers, users, companies, websites- would anyone miss you ? unbelievable- tread lightly it is coming- the blacklisting of people, websites, data centers and the rest of free speech. You saw it with parler. maybe a blacklisting of wikipedi and others. just an opinion.

Be sure to spell my name right. Your headline is "Wikipedia stops spammers dead in their tracks. Spammers cry censorship." --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:35, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can Everybody Start Organizing Their Comments On This Talk! 4D4850 (talk) 21:37, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is not typical of Americans to want free speech to end. Assuming you're an American, given you run an American news site. Also, Wikipedia is meant to be a repository of knowledge, not fraud. We would be missed by a bunch of people if Wikipedia was blacklisted by the government though. Also, Wikipedia has enough money to run on it's own servers. 4D4850 (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. Hard to get a word in edgewise --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weird how the ANI discussion travelled to this Talk. 4D4850 (talk) 21:47, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I blame myself. I tried to educate; got blasted instead. FWIW Censorship of Wikipedia is nothing new. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:50, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, are they going to be blocked or what? They haven't committed any infractions since the one they complained about being warned about, but the parallel discussion on ANI says it seems like a case of WP:NOTHERE 4D4850 (talk) 21:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uh Whoops. 4D4850 (talk) 21:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not by me. However, pending whatever investigation results from the ANI thread, if spamming recurs, then report at WP:AIV. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:01, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. 4D4850 (talk) 22:02, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As it turns out, "we" (presumably) was referring to the staff of a news aggregator, which this editor edited on behalf of, and got three warnings for it, which is also why a final warning was used instead of a general note. 4D4850 (talk) 23:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
