Thanks Zzuuzz

Thanks for your help with this matter. I do appreciate it. I have just added the following post in the spammers talk page in response to their latest post for your perusal. Is there any way to stop them constantly deleting the original link?

Regards

Sean

What utter nonsense! I was stopped from contributing to that particular forum as the owners of the site did not like the fact that I was asking them questions regarding the fact that their organisation was charging comsumers large upfront fees whereas most insolvency practitioners do not see this as ethical best practice.

The fact of the matter is that the organisation that I represent is a long established not for profit debt assistance organisation that has helped millions of individuals worldwide with money related problems. See: http://myvesta.org.uk/testimonials.html , http://myvesta.org.uk/about.html , http://myvesta.org.uk/assistance_fund.html

It was myself that actually started this category and the educational link that has been in place since January this year is a great resource that has assisted many people using the Wikipedia resource. We receive many complimentary emails regarding the resourses that we provide and frankly our heritage speaks for itself.

Indeed I have also added other long standing multimedia educational links in related Wikipedia categories all of which have been happily received by fellow Wikepedians and users alike. For an example see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy_in_the_United_Kingdom

I take umbridge with the fact that I have been contacted via telephone by this commercial spammer pretending to be a representative of Wikipedia. This is simply unacceptable behaviour and speaks volumes about the character of the spammer we are dealing with. I note also that they have previously that other Wikipedians have felt it necessary to ban this spammer in other related categories already.

So that there can be no debate as to the nature of the organisation in question please read the attached article below which will serve to clarify the commercial nature of the organisation that the spammer represents as they have recently been bought by another commercial firm.

changing articles

I did not notice the MOVE feature to move articles from one name to another to avoid losing edit history. Thanks Hmains 03:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Kuifjeenbobbie 15:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Was there something about my contirbtions that you did not like? Kuifjeenbobbie[reply]

Au contraire Kuifjeenbobbie - just a friendly welcome. I particularly noticed how you accurately reported and referenced the stuff you put in the Northern Ireland article. There is nothing not to like about that :) -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 15:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protecting Roy Masters

Just to let you know, adding {{sprotected}} or {{protected}} to a page is only a means for an admin to notify users that a page is protected. This does not actually confer protection to the article such as the notice you placed on Roy Masters. If you need help protecting a page, please contact an admin. Thanks! -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 17:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I slapped the {{sprotected}} on about a dozen and half articles in a row that day – Roy Masters was the last one, so I must have lost track and accidentally hit an open Firefox tab at the end. Thanks for the notice. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 19:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial Content

Sorry for adding links, I'm new and I thought it was ok as I had seen them before!!!

I would like to ask though - if something is free and a resource, how is it commercial? (ie freeadwordscourse.com)

I have had other directory sites listed, and often they are someone elses site with relevant information on but they still have links etc to commercial things on their websites, I have also noticed a few US commericial sites, and some areas asking for external links of a commercial nature.

I put the link to fastfoodshop.co.uk in the Pizza Delivery section as you had news articles to Dominos (how is that not commercial??)

I am just asking on here to make sure that I dont' violate anything

do different editors 'patrol' different areas?

Regards

22m (new member, so be nice)

Hello 22m. There are guidelines you should probably read about What Wikipedia is not, External links and even for SEOs. Those pages will answer some of your questions. If there's one thing I would draw from those guidelines it would be this: The links you put in, indeed your whole existence on Wikipedia to date, appears to be just promotion for your SEO services, whereas Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia. The thing I was wondering about your freeadwordscourse is, "if this link is to reliable free information, where is the information?". But there is also a second question, "if this information is so great, why have you not added any of it to Wikipedia?". Surely you would like to improve Wikipedia... the best way to do that is to add content instead of links. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 15:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Possibly Assist?

Hi Zzuuzz, I wonder if you can possibly assist. I have already posted an intervention request on the talk page of Brookie however I believe he is presently on holiday. My dilemma is that I have a revenge link remover repeatedly removing a long standing educational link from one of the categories that I started. He has even contacted me via telephone pretending to be from "wikipdia.co.uk" and so I am conscious that I am not dealing with a sensible individual that is willing to enter discussion about why I removed his spam link from the category. He is now also trying to suggest that the original link is from a commercial organisation. Basically he is just being vindictive and I wonder if it would be possible for you to suggest the best course of action? I have pasted below the talk page message that I have left for Brookkie as this explains things in more detail.

'Hi Brookie, I wonder if you can assist? I have just recieved a telephone call (on our consumer advice line)from a chap pretending to be contacting me from Wikipedia.co.uk and complaining because I have twice removed his link spam from a category.

He said and I quote "you are preventing me from doing my work so stop removing my links" Incredulous I know! I informed him that the links had been removed because he is simply spamming on behalf of a commercial IVA lead finding company. He has since continued to add the links and I have removed them but I am assuming that there must exist an easier method of stemming such activity?

The pages in question are below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Voluntary_Arrangement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy_in_the_United_Kingdom

Sorry to trouble you but you have been helpful in the past so I thought I would ask.

Many thanks

Sean'

Many thanks Zzuuzz

IVA website

Hello ZZZZZZZZ

I was wondering why you keep on removing the free debt advice link?

Regards —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.109.155.204 (talk • contribs) .

Hi. The article is about debt, whereas your link (iva-info-uk.org.uk) is marketing a UK-specific form of bankruptcy. You have very little information about debt on your site. Your link is in the first instance out of place. Please stop spamming it. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 11:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zzuuzz,

Sean is actually being vindictive to us because we booted him off our forum at IVA-info-uk.org.uk.

He used to be an expert poster on this forum but he started to spam his services so we had to remove him.

Sean is claiming that his site is not for profit but that is not correct as all IVAs have to be paid as part of the insolvency act. The link we are trying to add is iva-info-uk.org.uk which links to lots of different players on the market – see:

http://www.iva-info-uk.org.uk/forum/forum_experts.asp

and

http://www.iva-info-uk.org.uk/iva_solutions.asp

Therefore our site is more impartial than his site!

Thanks,

Kay —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kay121 (talk • contribs) .
