Hi Dan, I just objected to your recent link removal on the Starbucks article. Would you, at your leisure, mind dropping by the talk page and read my comments. I'm not all hot and bothered or antyhing, but I think some clarification might be in order. Cheers! Mr Christopher 21:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
I have significantly reduced the essay like nature and also tried to make it more neutral by making simple slight changes.I've also added proper references and external links. Another thing that i realised was that the article should be a part of another article named
Causal Determinism as that is exactly the aspect of determinism that i've elaborated.That article is anyways a stub.So,i'm gonna support the deletion and add the contents of my to the article mentioned here.
Kindly check out the article now and leave me a message if its satisfactory.
thanks

Fantasy Football is an online activity and removing links to NFL.com ESPN.com CBS.com, fantasy rankings, fantasy projections and fantasy software would be censoring information from wikipedians. If a user wants to learn about Fantasy Football, an online event, he does so by visiting sites that play fantasy football or give him fantasy football information. Removing links to those sites is counter productive.
I understand you are trying to remove spam. Tidying up pages is fine. But 'deleting' links is not progress. The page you referred to for fantasy football is in no way as complete as the link list that was on wikipedia.
If you want to continue to make progressive changes for the wikipedia community, do so. But, don't remove links with inferior links. If someone wants to know more about fantasy football, he will do so my continuing to established fantasy football sites where they can play fantasy football. Don't link the wikipedian to sites that are about football, instead of fantasy football. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amrosent ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to add information to this so that it gets to the needed sources, but I wasn't spamming. I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm not sure how it works. I just tested it out by adding some of my most resourcefull pages to the appropriate sources, considering the links on the pages that I found when I was researching the info for my site weren't all that good. I thought it would help out. I thought users would like to see that.
I realize Wiki isn't a source of just links to good info, but its not encouraging me much to help Wikimedia if my additions aren't even noted. I don't think they even looked at my site additions. Sheesh.
Besides, we're not commercial anyhow. We're a collection of 5 graduate students that make articles on biology info.

Hi, Dan. Reviewing your claim on WP:PAIN that WikiRoo had been "namecalling" in edit summaries, I thought it exaggerated. "Dissident" isn't even a negative word. I did write a lttle note advising him against using words like "progagandist" in edit summaries, though. But considering that you're in a content conflict with WikiRoo and have recently filed an RFC on him, you might want to consider that actions like WP:PAIN reports for such mild-to-non-existent infractions may reflect badly on you rather than him. I also frankly have a bit of a problem with the note from you that I saw on his page. It's misleading to suggest that editors have an obligation to " try to find something positive to say" to balance critical input that they make. Please review WP:NPOV, as it's our most important policy. And please don't try to deter people from editing articles "if all you can think of is negativity"; that's misrepresenting WP:NPOV in a big way. Intimidating people from contributing is altogether frowned on. Best wishes, Bishonen | talk 12:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC).
On the AfD page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario, WikiRoo continues with paranoid personal attacks and unfounded allegations, accusing everyone who disagrees with him as being either sockpuppets or a cabal. You already gave him a 'last warning'. Time to pull the plug on him? -- DarkAudit 18:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Dan,
First, as a recognised researcher in the field of cellular automata (I am the only person who has ever constructed a self-replicator within von Neumann's 29-state cellular automata), I am well placed to give these comments.
Second, Hiroki Sayama is also a well recognised researcher in this field. I suspect that it is he who added the link which you have construed to be spam. Frankly, the article is relevant to the field, for it discusses models of self-replicators within the space of a cellular automata. The link given is to his paper, as available from an MIT Press website.
Third, while I can agree that the article Cellular Automaton is becoming overly broad in its references, this would also include the mentions of Wolfram's work, and he is clearly interested in self-promotion. I know Wolfram (even if only as a passing acquaintance), and I do not regard his work in ANKOS as being particularly important. Sayama's work is far more relevant to the topic of cellular automata. ANKOS is relevant only as a picturebook of the output of some systems of cellular automata.
Forth, what may be more relevant to your act, is the creation of a list of topical papers, and have a single link to that list within the references section of the Cellular Automaton article. What should not be done is a wholesale exclusion of relevant material.
Finally, in my opinion, the article is poorly named. A cellular automaton is a (single) finite-state automaton that resides within a (single) cell of a system of cellular automata. In this regard, Wolfram is using the language correctly. I find it quite strange that persons having interest in the topic of cellular automata persist in misnaming (see the discussion page of the article for some relevant exchange between editors).
The article should be titled: Cellular Automata. William R. Buckley 16:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
The cyLEDGE article has now been edited to take into account justified criticisms by several users. Please accept our apologies for what may have seemed excessive or unclear marketing jargon (the jargon which, for better or worse, we are most familar with...), and have done our best to follow the Wiki Style manual. Though cyLEDGE contains the company site as an external link, it is not so much a marketing campaign than it is an attempt to communicate what we are doing and get reactions from other people working or interested in the field. Since there is a natural affinity to cyLEDGE's activities and open-platforms such as Wikipedia, it is important for us to be present there - an additional paragraph has been added to make as clear as possible what the issues at stake are, and which we are trying to come to terms with. I hope you will reconsider your proposed deletion in view of these changes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knusper ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
You may very well be right. Two things in which to take solace, though: 1)WikiRoo is now blocked; and 2) IP addresses can't have their talkpages deleted as easily (being multi-user, they don't have a right to vanish of the same kind), so any griping he does from there will be universally visible. If the IP in question is WikiRoo, it is also possible that he's just confused, and didn't realize that asking to vanish meant that he'd be blocked permanently. As an eternal optimist, I still hope he'll figure all that out and set himself to constructive editing. Best wishes, Xoloz 05:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
As I mentioned to GaryWill at his talk, the answer is no. Blocking an IP can lead to inadvertent "collateral damage" (the blocking of innocent users on the same network); as well, it is a virtual certainly that someone else will come to possess WikiRoo's exact current IP address someday (people move -- IPs move too.) For these two reasons, indefinite blocks of IP addresses are forbidden, more or less. The "right to vanish" only exists for registered accounts -- which makes sense, since editing behind an IP is a form of anonimity anyway. Best wishes, Xoloz 00:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
In that case it is meaningles talking with you, by using violence your are going to impose your POV anyway. Karnagio 01:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Wiki has a policy to keep things like users IP adress confidential. What realy got me going was when I first signed up and right away someone plastered my IP address in a banner across my user name page like a branded criminal.
That was the catalist to the whole escapade when I found myself reacting to being under personal attack which started me fighting back at everyone like Don Quixote.
Kindly delete the IP page entirely. I don't want my new work getting prejudiced by that initial foray. Wiki does have a policy of not publishing IP adresses of its editors. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiWoo ( talk • contribs) 04:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi AbsolutDan,
Looking for your support on my first article which I think I've put together properly and nicely. I have quite a few editors saying Keep, but I don't know if a bunch of other people are working together to show up at the last minute with a bunch of delete votes to kill my work. I expected a few like Will who have not cast their vote, so I believe they are holding back till the last minute to ambush this article just before the vote tally, to take away my ability to resolve or comment on their reasons.
I also have ideas for more articles and I don't what to invest too much time if others are going to use tactics to undermine it. This is the vote page and I would appreciate your review and comments and anyone else that may be interested in helping to expand Wiki wiht new content.

Since you've dealt with WikiRoo before on the Susan Fennell talk page, I was wondering if you could come by and explain original research and citing your work. I've tried, but he finds the idea of citing everything added "ridiculous." He is attempting to insert his own original research into the article and claims that he has referenced it by giving links to general Google search results (that is, he has extrapolated from the mass of results for a specific set of search terms, and then cited the search as a "reliable source" for his conclusion).

Dear Dan,

I'm currently writing to you from Glasgow, Scotland, and I believe a couple of My Friends attempted to write this Lord Strachan page a while ago, but they were deleted as well. Hmmm . . .
As well, I can see you getting angry at the Fettes College thing, and I am a little sorry for that, but Lord Strachan did attend Fettes College, so can you perhaps write that in there?
Please respond to me why writing about a current political figure is wrong, Thank you,

Hi Dan,
I can't believe you would remove the link to a relevant article and leave the other links intact.
C'mon Dan. Do I need to make it a link to a PDF to make it valid? What is the differentiator here?
If people come here for info and value (as I hope they do,) then this link is clearly that and not promotional.
Yes, I run a for profit business, but I do not promote that business anywhere in the article and you have to look carefully for advertising on my site. That is not the case with most of the other articles; who are also "for profit" businesses (even though some pretend to be otherwise.)
I am also well aware of what is appropriate for Wikipedia and see your subjective judgement on the remaining links as very suspicious to say the least.
I wrote a bit of a treatise on this subject some time ago and will share it with you if you are open to another viewpoint if you'd like to email me at jb@tpslean.com
I'm not looking to pick a fight here, but I am a bit tired of people picking and choosing what links can stay or must go based on inconsistent criteria. It just seems to me that something is not working as designed here.
Look over the other links and tell me if they aren't promotional in some way or another. They are; and some are flagrantly advertising.
I wish to contribute every bit as much as the other folks on this site. And yes, like others, I appreciate traffic to my site from Wikipedia as well. Even though thus far it has only been an annoyance.

Hi Dan, I am wondering why I have been given a last warning for removing tobacco product images from Wikipedia? I had discussed my intentions in the discussion area of the page, and I truly believe that letting tobacco brands be placed on Wikipedia is morally and ethically wrong. Smoking causes so many diseases and deaths each year around the world, so why are there pictures of tobacco brands and products on Wikipedia pages? Are the tobacco companies paying you and/or Wikipedia to let them advertise their addictive and deadly products? It is not necessary for every article on Wikipedia to have images, so why are you defending the tobacco product pages? There are a number of pages on Wikipedia that do not have images, so it is not necessary to have tobacco-related images. I think it is pathetic that you are allowing free advertising for these companies. Tobacco companies are the most deceitful and sneaky companies in the world, who indirectly aim their products at young people and get them addicted, yet Wikipedia is willing to let them advertise and potentially gain new customers that will become addicted to their deadly products.

Hello Dan,
You recently removed some links I placed on various pages for spamming. A lot of those links I agree where spam links, but I am new to wikipedia and was not fully aware of the spam rules.
One link I added was to the lean manufacturing page. The link was:
How to Implement Lean Manufacturing an article written by Paul Wilson who has been implementing lean throughout Europe for many years. Is this not a valid link? The site is a commercial site but also contains many useful articles written by Paul. The subject of the article is ideal for the lean manufacturing page, is it not?
www.leanadvisors.com has many external links throughout pages like Total Productive Maintenance, Kanban and Poka-yoke and they are a commercial training company.

Hi
Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
I have significantly reduced the essay like nature and also tried to make it more neutral by making simple slight changes.I've also added proper references and external links. Another thing that i realised was that the article should be a part of another article named
Causal Determinism as that is exactly the aspect of determinism that i've elaborated.That article is anyways a stub.So,i'm gonna support the deletion and add the contents of my to the article mentioned here.
Kindly check out the article now and leave me a message if its satisfactory.
thanks

Fantasy Football is an online activity and removing links to NFL.com ESPN.com CBS.com, fantasy rankings, fantasy projections and fantasy software would be censoring information from wikipedians. If a user wants to learn about Fantasy Football, an online event, he does so by visiting sites that play fantasy football or give him fantasy football information. Removing links to those sites is counter productive.
I understand you are trying to remove spam. Tidying up pages is fine. But 'deleting' links is not progress. The page you referred to for fantasy football is in no way as complete as the link list that was on wikipedia.
If you want to continue to make progressive changes for the wikipedia community, do so. But, don't remove links with inferior links. If someone wants to know more about fantasy football, he will do so my continuing to established fantasy football sites where they can play fantasy football. Don't link the wikipedian to sites that are about football, instead of fantasy football. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amrosent ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to add information to this so that it gets to the needed sources, but I wasn't spamming. I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm not sure how it works. I just tested it out by adding some of my most resourcefull pages to the appropriate sources, considering the links on the pages that I found when I was researching the info for my site weren't all that good. I thought it would help out. I thought users would like to see that.
I realize Wiki isn't a source of just links to good info, but its not encouraging me much to help Wikimedia if my additions aren't even noted. I don't think they even looked at my site additions. Sheesh.
Besides, we're not commercial anyhow. We're a collection of 5 graduate students that make articles on biology info.

Hi, Dan. Reviewing your claim on WP:PAIN that WikiRoo had been "namecalling" in edit summaries, I thought it exaggerated. "Dissident" isn't even a negative word. I did write a lttle note advising him against using words like "progagandist" in edit summaries, though. But considering that you're in a content conflict with WikiRoo and have recently filed an RFC on him, you might want to consider that actions like WP:PAIN reports for such mild-to-non-existent infractions may reflect badly on you rather than him. I also frankly have a bit of a problem with the note from you that I saw on his page. It's misleading to suggest that editors have an obligation to " try to find something positive to say" to balance critical input that they make. Please review WP:NPOV, as it's our most important policy. And please don't try to deter people from editing articles "if all you can think of is negativity"; that's misrepresenting WP:NPOV in a big way. Intimidating people from contributing is altogether frowned on. Best wishes, Bishonen | talk 12:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC).
On the AfD page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario, WikiRoo continues with paranoid personal attacks and unfounded allegations, accusing everyone who disagrees with him as being either sockpuppets or a cabal. You already gave him a 'last warning'. Time to pull the plug on him? -- DarkAudit 18:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Dan,
First, as a recognised researcher in the field of cellular automata (I am the only person who has ever constructed a self-replicator within von Neumann's 29-state cellular automata), I am well placed to give these comments.
Second, Hiroki Sayama is also a well recognised researcher in this field. I suspect that it is he who added the link which you have construed to be spam. Frankly, the article is relevant to the field, for it discusses models of self-replicators within the space of a cellular automata. The link given is to his paper, as available from an MIT Press website.
Third, while I can agree that the article Cellular Automaton is becoming overly broad in its references, this would also include the mentions of Wolfram's work, and he is clearly interested in self-promotion. I know Wolfram (even if only as a passing acquaintance), and I do not regard his work in ANKOS as being particularly important. Sayama's work is far more relevant to the topic of cellular automata. ANKOS is relevant only as a picturebook of the output of some systems of cellular automata.
Forth, what may be more relevant to your act, is the creation of a list of topical papers, and have a single link to that list within the references section of the Cellular Automaton article. What should not be done is a wholesale exclusion of relevant material.
Finally, in my opinion, the article is poorly named. A cellular automaton is a (single) finite-state automaton that resides within a (single) cell of a system of cellular automata. In this regard, Wolfram is using the language correctly. I find it quite strange that persons having interest in the topic of cellular automata persist in misnaming (see the discussion page of the article for some relevant exchange between editors).
The article should be titled: Cellular Automata. William R. Buckley 16:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
The cyLEDGE article has now been edited to take into account justified criticisms by several users. Please accept our apologies for what may have seemed excessive or unclear marketing jargon (the jargon which, for better or worse, we are most familar with...), and have done our best to follow the Wiki Style manual. Though cyLEDGE contains the company site as an external link, it is not so much a marketing campaign than it is an attempt to communicate what we are doing and get reactions from other people working or interested in the field. Since there is a natural affinity to cyLEDGE's activities and open-platforms such as Wikipedia, it is important for us to be present there - an additional paragraph has been added to make as clear as possible what the issues at stake are, and which we are trying to come to terms with. I hope you will reconsider your proposed deletion in view of these changes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knusper ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
You may very well be right. Two things in which to take solace, though: 1)WikiRoo is now blocked; and 2) IP addresses can't have their talkpages deleted as easily (being multi-user, they don't have a right to vanish of the same kind), so any griping he does from there will be universally visible. If the IP in question is WikiRoo, it is also possible that he's just confused, and didn't realize that asking to vanish meant that he'd be blocked permanently. As an eternal optimist, I still hope he'll figure all that out and set himself to constructive editing. Best wishes, Xoloz 05:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
As I mentioned to GaryWill at his talk, the answer is no. Blocking an IP can lead to inadvertent "collateral damage" (the blocking of innocent users on the same network); as well, it is a virtual certainly that someone else will come to possess WikiRoo's exact current IP address someday (people move -- IPs move too.) For these two reasons, indefinite blocks of IP addresses are forbidden, more or less. The "right to vanish" only exists for registered accounts -- which makes sense, since editing behind an IP is a form of anonimity anyway. Best wishes, Xoloz 00:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
In that case it is meaningles talking with you, by using violence your are going to impose your POV anyway. Karnagio 01:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Wiki has a policy to keep things like users IP adress confidential. What realy got me going was when I first signed up and right away someone plastered my IP address in a banner across my user name page like a branded criminal.
That was the catalist to the whole escapade when I found myself reacting to being under personal attack which started me fighting back at everyone like Don Quixote.
Kindly delete the IP page entirely. I don't want my new work getting prejudiced by that initial foray. Wiki does have a policy of not publishing IP adresses of its editors. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiWoo ( talk • contribs) 04:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi AbsolutDan,
Looking for your support on my first article which I think I've put together properly and nicely. I have quite a few editors saying Keep, but I don't know if a bunch of other people are working together to show up at the last minute with a bunch of delete votes to kill my work. I expected a few like Will who have not cast their vote, so I believe they are holding back till the last minute to ambush this article just before the vote tally, to take away my ability to resolve or comment on their reasons.
I also have ideas for more articles and I don't what to invest too much time if others are going to use tactics to undermine it. This is the vote page and I would appreciate your review and comments and anyone else that may be interested in helping to expand Wiki wiht new content.

Since you've dealt with WikiRoo before on the Susan Fennell talk page, I was wondering if you could come by and explain original research and citing your work. I've tried, but he finds the idea of citing everything added "ridiculous." He is attempting to insert his own original research into the article and claims that he has referenced it by giving links to general Google search results (that is, he has extrapolated from the mass of results for a specific set of search terms, and then cited the search as a "reliable source" for his conclusion).

I'm currently writing to you from Glasgow, Scotland, and I believe a couple of My Friends attempted to write this Lord Strachan page a while ago, but they were deleted as well. Hmmm . . .
As well, I can see you getting angry at the Fettes College thing, and I am a little sorry for that, but Lord Strachan did attend Fettes College, so can you perhaps write that in there?
Please respond to me why writing about a current political figure is wrong, Thank you,

Hi Dan,
I can't believe you would remove the link to a relevant article and leave the other links intact.
C'mon Dan. Do I need to make it a link to a PDF to make it valid? What is the differentiator here?
If people come here for info and value (as I hope they do,) then this link is clearly that and not promotional.
Yes, I run a for profit business, but I do not promote that business anywhere in the article and you have to look carefully for advertising on my site. That is not the case with most of the other articles; who are also "for profit" businesses (even though some pretend to be otherwise.)
I am also well aware of what is appropriate for Wikipedia and see your subjective judgement on the remaining links as very suspicious to say the least.
I wrote a bit of a treatise on this subject some time ago and will share it with you if you are open to another viewpoint if you'd like to email me at jb@tpslean.com
I'm not looking to pick a fight here, but I am a bit tired of people picking and choosing what links can stay or must go based on inconsistent criteria. It just seems to me that something is not working as designed here.
Look over the other links and tell me if they aren't promotional in some way or another. They are; and some are flagrantly advertising.
I wish to contribute every bit as much as the other folks on this site. And yes, like others, I appreciate traffic to my site from Wikipedia as well. Even though thus far it has only been an annoyance.

Hi Dan, I am wondering why I have been given a last warning for removing tobacco product images from Wikipedia? I had discussed my intentions in the discussion area of the page, and I truly believe that letting tobacco brands be placed on Wikipedia is morally and ethically wrong. Smoking causes so many diseases and deaths each year around the world, so why are there pictures of tobacco brands and products on Wikipedia pages? Are the tobacco companies paying you and/or Wikipedia to let them advertise their addictive and deadly products? It is not necessary for every article on Wikipedia to have images, so why are you defending the tobacco product pages? There are a number of pages on Wikipedia that do not have images, so it is not necessary to have tobacco-related images. I think it is pathetic that you are allowing free advertising for these companies. Tobacco companies are the most deceitful and sneaky companies in the world, who indirectly aim their products at young people and get them addicted, yet Wikipedia is willing to let them advertise and potentially gain new customers that will become addicted to their deadly products.

The site is a commercial site but also contains many useful articles written by Paul. The subject of the article is ideal for the lean manufacturing page, is it not?
www.leanadvisors.com has many external links throughout pages like Total Productive Maintenance, Kanban and Poka-yoke and they are a commercial training company.
Could you please clarify the rules as there appears to be double standards?
