Talk:Wall unit
I have started two different topics in the wiki discussion/help area about this. Everyone agreed the links are useful and are NOT spam. And the cabinets in those pictures are not for sale as you stated. They are pictures of wall units I have finished. The units are owned by people, in their homes. They are in no way for sale.
I was encouraged by wiki users to create MORE pages like the one I have created here. I specifically started the thread when I first joined here to see what everyone thought. Everyone agreed that they are find and in no way spam or junk links. Also, you deleted the PDF link I added about how to make a raised panel door calling it spam too. Now how in the world is a tutorial on building a raised panel door spam? I work hard creating these things then have people calling it "spam" is not a good feeling. --Naples 17:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm the person who initially removed your link from this page. The main reason I did this was that I felt that they were added primarily to assist with your google page ranking. My thinking here is largely derived from posts on the digitalpoint.com forums discussing improving the page rank for the site in question. For example . . .
- And then . . .
- To be perfectly clear, I don't believe that you (assuming you are the same person) are acting in bad faith. In the post you say that you're trying to help wikipedia along with your site. I believe you are sincere but there are still a couple of issues here. First, I do have an objection to wikipedia being used to increase page rank for a site. While it's not the worst thing you can do, it's not great either. Second, adding a link to a site you own is a problem. Here is a quote from the relevant section of Wikipedia:External links:
- For policy or technical reasons, editors are restricted from linking to the following, without exception.
- A website that you own, maintain or are acting as an agent for; even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked to. This is in line with the conflict of interests guidelines. If it is a relevant and informative link that should otherwise be included, mention it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it.
- So that's it in a nutshell. I don't believe that you're intentionally trying to harm wikipedia, and still I don't find these links to be inappropriate.
- Finally, I have neither the time nor the inclination to get into an edit war with you or anyone else over this. So, I will not be the next person to remove your links on the pages in question.
