Proposed deletion of Fire department photography

[edit]

The article Fire department photography has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable subject. Article intended to promote external link.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Actually, the article was deleted by another editor, and turned into a redirect to the Fire photography article, which is substantially the same as your article. As for the links to your site, Wikipedia specifically prohibits editors from posting links to sites they operate or work for, especially those which are commercial and might benefit monetarily form a Wikipedia link. We call it linkspam. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:39, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Fire department photography do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Jusdafax 03:39, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attempting to use Wikipedia as a vehicle to promote your website. It is not acceptable. -Drdisque (talk) 03:49, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Fire photography, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

You misunderstand the link inclusion guidelines. Linking to your site is considered spam. -Drdisque (talk) 04:58, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can make an argument for inclusion on the talk page of the article, and if other editors agree that your site is notable enough for inclusion they will put it back.

Please read the WP:SPAM page. You will see that a great many well-meaning editors have done as you have done, and the links have been removed. Basically, we think that if everybody did this, the "external links" section of each article would rapidly become a massive link farm, and Wikipedia would be less useful than it is intended to be. Please look at WP:LINKFARM. One thing you really, really want to avoid is getting the attention of the spam patrol (Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam.) Those guys deal with lots of link abuse, and they have become fairly intolerant. If they decide a link is being spammed across many articles, the link is placed on the blacklist and cannot be added to any articles. Once your link is blacklisted, it is hard to get it back off the list, and many other sites use our blacklist. If you are associated with the site, you might want to look at WP:COI also.

Accounts;
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. --Hu12 (talk) 05:43, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
