Collaborative real-time editor

edit

We have a lot of lists of software products. They all have a tendency to linkspam. By convention, we therefore include only those items which have articles, and we do not include weblinks in the lists (see list of ERP software packages for a good example). This is per policy - WP:NOT a mirror or collection of external links - and guideline at WP:EL. There is an editor on the list I linked, User:Sleepyhead81, who can I'm sure give you some other helpful pointers. Just zis Guy you know? 16:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Reverting

edit

Please start reading my comments and stop reverting. We do not link indiscriminately like that. You are in danger of breaching the three revert rule. Please note that, as an admin and an experienced editor, I am familiar with policy and guidelines: we do not link to large numbers of websites for insignificant software, especially where the lnks are there precisely because it is insignificant. Also, we do not reference policies etc. in the text of articles (except, very occasionally in HTML comments). Just zis Guy you know? 21:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --KyroTalk 22:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Personal attacks

edit

I see you've been spreading your insults around Wikipedia, further than the admin's noticeboard, so consider this a final warning that if you make further personal attacks on editors, you will be blocked. Regarding the 37 Signals AFD itself, see my reply on the noticeboard. --Sam Blanning(talk) 22:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think more than a warning is in order. Therefore, I have blocked you for 3 hours for your personal attack. Please be more civil when you return in 3 hours. Johntex\talk 22:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

37signals

edit

(From User talk:Dhartung#37 Signals.) Yes, I enjoy "saving" articles from themselves, it's one of my Wikipedia "things". This wasn't a bad article exactly but it didn't do a good job of justifying its own existence. I find the meta:deletionist approach is usually a little more aggressive than I would be but one can see its point in cleaning true cruft out and in this case forcing a better article to be written. It's better to engage the issues with edits, on the ground as it were, rather than just arguing with people about something that isn't going to go away. You could persuade one deletionist, but tomorrow another one will join, I guarantee it. Use the locked-back-door approach -- get the burglar to try the next house instead of yours. --Dhartung | Talk 05:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Shared Page

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Shared Page, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Shared Page. B.
