Don't put yourself in the mainspace. Such behaviour is not acceptable, SqueakBox 18:24, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Whether you doante or not is beside the point. It doesn't give you the right to self-reference in our encyclopedia. Whether I donate or not is none of your business but I am a major contributor, SqueakBox 18:49, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

If you think I amk vandalising report me to Misplaced Pages:Vandalism in progress, but do also take a look at 3RR and Misplaced Pages:Most vandalized pages#Frequent vandalism from many people, SqueakBox 19:01, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Vandalism in progress#User:Owaldo. By all means contact whoever you want. This is a clear case of you beiong in the wrong and your donation to wikipedia does not give you special privileges, SqueakBox 19:15, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

IP address

Regarding the external link on IP address, please take it to the talk page. If you do, I'll happily look at the site, and if it seems worthwhile to me, *I'll* add it to the article, and, if necessary, help reverting people who remove it. JesseW 19:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree, SqueakBox 19:25, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

0waldo, there are several problems here. First refer to the three revert rule about not reverting any edit more than 3 times in 24 hours. Second, your site though useful seems to be essentially unknown on the internet. Misplaced Pages is not a form of advertising. If it were a popular site we would add it, but since it seems brand new, I do not believe it is appropriate to do so. Third, pages in article space should never link to User space, period. People who mirror our content assume that there is nothing in User space they need to copy and we do not wish to create dead links by having links between the two. In very rare cases, links to article space are provided as an external link (i.e. bottom of Jimbo Wales), but I do not believe such a reference as your deserves that treatment.
If you want to argue that a link to your site is appropriate, please address your comments to Talk:IP address. If you continue to add the link without achieving consensus that it is appropriate, I will block you from editting for a short time. Dragons flight 19:49, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
