I did not quite understand the spamming policy of wikipedia. I have given a general apology to scopecreep and will desist from any further edits to do with the website on wikipedia. I appeal for the administrators not to block this site. Dhruv Sharma — Preceding unsigned comment added by DhruvSharma2012 ( talk • contribs) 08:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
I am Dhruv Sharma, the defendant; I am the writer of uncoveredinterests.com and the wikipedia blocked account "the_idiot". I have the following to say against the blacklisting of my website and blockage of my account:
I have been a diligent contributor to Wikipedia since 2005, both financially and constructively. My only digression from norm has been the spamming of Wikipedia articles with my website in the last week. As a first time offender I seek the benefit of the doubt; I will never again misuse my rights and transgress wikipedia rules.
Much of what I have learnt on Wikipedia and elsewhere, I collect together in economic analysis at uncoveredinterests.com. The blacklisting of my website by wikipedia could be adopted by other website and search engines. Doing untold damage to it.
I plead with the administrators not to blacklist uncoveredinterests.com for all the above stated reasons. Let me repeat, I shall resume to be a rule-abiding contributor if the administrators reject the blacklist of uncoveredinterests.com and unblock my account the_idiot. "goodness starts with small things".
yours truly,

Response from Dhruv Sharma, writer of uncoveredinterests.com and wikipedia account the_idiot:
Administrators,
I have profusely apologised for my unscrupulous actions. I had underestimated the vigilance and maturity with which Wikipedia is handled these days. I have much to contribute, as is visible in regards to the economic analysis I give at uncoveredinterests.com, to Wikipedia. Especially to do with the structure of its institutions, and further academic research into its governance. Articles to do with economics at wikipedia are for one under-referenced. If the administrators overlook my recent transgressions, I will re-commit to Wikipedia's cause.
I beg the administrators to reconsider the blockage of the account the_idiot and not go through with the blacklisting of uncoveredinterests.com, which will have external effects on search algorithms of other websites.
Contingent upon these actions I sincerely promise to indefinitely abide by wikipedia's laws and rules. The commitment of contributors and administrators to wikipedia and its mechanisms is self-evident and unshaking.
I have a 'near perfect' seven year record on the account: the_idiot. And I once again apologise my callous actions in the last week.
yours truly,
Dhruv Sharma — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.107.41.126 ( talk) 13:05, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry, but your continuous block evasion, incivility, etc. etc. does not give me much hope that spamming will stop, neither does this: www.uncoveredinterests.com/2012/04/wikipedias-weltanschauung.html. I have asked you before to go back to your original account, and not use any other accounts regarding this. Seriously request unblock if you need to make contributions, don't evade that block (you are only making it worse for yourself in doing so!).

Dropbox referral links are added to Dropbox (service) in an effort to gain more free space from the Dropbox service. This is disruptive and totally unacceptable. Links to dropbox.com and other parts of the dropbox site are fine, but there is absolutely no reason to for any referral links to be in the article or anywhere on Wikipedia.

While editing the entry for Patrick McManus I found that the link to the news article in Examiner.com I was using as a reference was listed as a spam site, tho I can find no record of it here. While there may be factors that lead to this conclusion of which I am unaware (and I admit that, as a crowd-sourced source of information, like Wikipedia, it is not as reliable as traditional journalistic media outlets), I can see no reason to block reference links to articles carried in Examiner.com.

Needed for the article on Simijaca as an external link. Looks like it's blacklisted because of the .co.cc domain that Gooogle made headlines blocking last summer. It is a simple Wordpress blog site with local news and information from the town's only ISP. Please allow.

has never been a spam site, or ever been posted as spam anywhere on the internet or meatspace. it is entirely relevant everywhere it has been posted. it was in good standing as a relevant link on the appropriate page here for years. i'm using wikipedia's own definition of spam btw. if you look at it from a white-list perspective there is no reason it should ever have been blacklisted in the first place. there's nothing about the site or any links ever appearing on wikipedia which were not relevant, in context, and utterly helpful. if that's not enough then the problem is with your priorities for inclusion/exclusion, not the site itself. there is nothing commercial, malicious, intrusive, or any other mal-thing anywhere on the site. also, the edit summary below this edit box suggests that the list should include hyperlinks to each site, but such hyperlinks are specifically disallowed for things relevant to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.237.118 ( talk) 17:36, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I did not quite understand the spamming policy of wikipedia. I have given a general apology to scopecreep and will desist from any further edits to do with the website on wikipedia. I appeal for the administrators not to block this site. Dhruv Sharma — Preceding unsigned comment added by DhruvSharma2012 ( talk • contribs) 08:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
I am Dhruv Sharma, the defendant; I am the writer of uncoveredinterests.com and the wikipedia blocked account "the_idiot". I have the following to say against the blacklisting of my website and blockage of my account:
I have been a diligent contributor to Wikipedia since 2005, both financially and constructively. My only digression from norm has been the spamming of Wikipedia articles with my website in the last week. As a first time offender I seek the benefit of the doubt; I will never again misuse my rights and transgress wikipedia rules.
Much of what I have learnt on Wikipedia and elsewhere, I collect together in economic analysis at uncoveredinterests.com. The blacklisting of my website by wikipedia could be adopted by other website and search engines. Doing untold damage to it.
I plead with the administrators not to blacklist uncoveredinterests.com for all the above stated reasons. Let me repeat, I shall resume to be a rule-abiding contributor if the administrators reject the blacklist of uncoveredinterests.com and unblock my account the_idiot. "goodness starts with small things".
yours truly,

Response from Dhruv Sharma, writer of uncoveredinterests.com and wikipedia account the_idiot:
Administrators,
I have profusely apologised for my unscrupulous actions. I had underestimated the vigilance and maturity with which Wikipedia is handled these days. I have much to contribute, as is visible in regards to the economic analysis I give at uncoveredinterests.com, to Wikipedia. Especially to do with the structure of its institutions, and further academic research into its governance. Articles to do with economics at wikipedia are for one under-referenced. If the administrators overlook my recent transgressions, I will re-commit to Wikipedia's cause.
I beg the administrators to reconsider the blockage of the account the_idiot and not go through with the blacklisting of uncoveredinterests.com, which will have external effects on search algorithms of other websites.
Contingent upon these actions I sincerely promise to indefinitely abide by wikipedia's laws and rules. The commitment of contributors and administrators to wikipedia and its mechanisms is self-evident and unshaking.
I have a 'near perfect' seven year record on the account: the_idiot. And I once again apologise my callous actions in the last week.
yours truly,
Dhruv Sharma — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.107.41.126 ( talk) 13:05, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry, but your continuous block evasion, incivility, etc. etc. does not give me much hope that spamming will stop, neither does this: www.uncoveredinterests.com/2012/04/wikipedias-weltanschauung.html. I have asked you before to go back to your original account, and not use any other accounts regarding this. Seriously request unblock if you need to make contributions, don't evade that block (you are only making it worse for yourself in doing so!).

Dropbox referral links are added to Dropbox (service) in an effort to gain more free space from the Dropbox service. This is disruptive and totally unacceptable. Links to dropbox.com and other parts of the dropbox site are fine, but there is absolutely no reason to for any referral links to be in the article or anywhere on Wikipedia.

While editing the entry for Patrick McManus I found that the link to the news article in Examiner.com I was using as a reference was listed as a spam site, tho I can find no record of it here. While there may be factors that lead to this conclusion of which I am unaware (and I admit that, as a crowd-sourced source of information, like Wikipedia, it is not as reliable as traditional journalistic media outlets), I can see no reason to block reference links to articles carried in Examiner.com.

Needed for the article on Simijaca as an external link. Looks like it's blacklisted because of the .co.cc domain that Gooogle made headlines blocking last summer. It is a simple Wordpress blog site with local news and information from the town's only ISP. Please allow.
I was using this Domain an article, I noticed that it was blocked and hence I came to look at it.

I am currently working on an article about Zurker, a new social networking site introduced to internet users recently. For the same reason,I wish to add some references from the website itself (member statistics, terms & conditions, etc). As Zurker is a relatively new site, I am not getting much credible references to attach and hence, I am dependant on the site itself.

has never been a spam site, or ever been posted as spam anywhere on the internet or meatspace. it is entirely relevant everywhere it has been posted. it was in good standing as a relevant link on the appropriate page here for years. i'm using wikipedia's own definition of spam btw. if you look at it from a white-list perspective there is no reason it should ever have been blacklisted in the first place. there's nothing about the site or any links ever appearing on wikipedia which were not relevant, in context, and utterly helpful. if that's not enough then the problem is with your priorities for inclusion/exclusion, not the site itself. there is nothing commercial, malicious, intrusive, or any other mal-thing anywhere on the site. also, the edit summary below this edit box suggests that the list should include hyperlinks to each site, but such hyperlinks are specifically disallowed for things relevant to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.237.118 ( talk) 17:36, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
