Happy editing! - UtherSRG 03:24, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Jamie, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that you've added external links to a slew of Marvel Comics articles. I checked the links and none of them contain any information at all. As well, the website, marveldatabase.com, seems to be controlled by youself. As it stands, your additions are little more than link spam and will probably be removed shortly. While I admire your moxy in wanting to create a Marvel database, perhaps you should wait until you have some content before adding links to Misplaced Pages's comic articles. --NormanEinstein 03:57, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Marvel Database Project
I found this article marked for speedy delete, but thought it was worthy of moving to Votes for deletion. Please go to to Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Marvel Database Project if you want to defend it.-gadfium 06:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Just remarked this for speedy delete, it is empty, put a talk page notice that if expanded by creator before deletion then ok to kill my speedy delete tag Xaosflux 01:40, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Linkspamming
Stop linkspamming. If you continue to do so, you will be banned. —Lowellian (talk) 08:57, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
User Categorisation
You were listed on the Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Ontario page as living in or being associated with Ontario. As part of the Misplaced Pages:User categorisation project, these lists are being replaced with user categories. If you would like to add yourself to the category that is replacing the page, please visit Category:Wikipedians in Ontario for instructions.--Rmky87 03:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
DC Database link at Batman
Please note I have removed the DC Database link at Batman you placed. It doesn't meet WP:EL requirements, and also as you are involved in the enterprise it doesn't meet Misplaced Pages:Spam. I note a warning from Lowellian above regarding link spamming; I shall contact him and discuss his reason for issuing the warning. At the moment please refrain from placing links to your projects on Misplaced Pages. A better place for them is DMOZ, an open source directory. Steve block talk 10:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hey folks, in case you look here first...
- I have replied at Steve block's talkpage... Cheers,

- Thanks for your considered response. Sadly I have to disagree.
- Per WP:SPAM:
- Misplaced Pages is not a space for the promotion of Web sites
- Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a link farm
- The References section is for references...
- Per WP:EL:
- What should not be linked to:
- Links that are added to promote a site, by the site operator or its affiliates
- A website that you own or maintain (unless it is the official site of the subject of the article). If it is relevant and informative, mention it as a possible link on the talk page and wait for someone else to include it, or include the information directly in the article
- Pages that contain a substantial fraction of factually inaccurate material or which contain unverified original research
- In general, any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes an example of brilliant prose
- What should not be linked to:
- Per WP:RS
- Evaluate the reliability of online sources just as you would print or other more traditional sources. Neither online nor print sources deserve an automatic assumption of reliability by virtue of the medium they are printed in. All reports must be evaluated according to the processes and people that created them.
- Per WP:SPAM:
- As you have to accept, given you are editor in chief, founder and possibly host of the site in question you are not best qualified to make the distinctions regarding your site. Your addition of links contravenes directions listed above, your site can't be considered a reliable source given the lack of sourcing, for example Air-Walker (Automaton), and your addition of links is clearly in breach of WP:SPAM given you state on my talk page you are linking to your benefit. Based upon the guidelines above, myself and a fellow administrator, Lowellian, have both agreed that your addition of such links is spamming and that if you consider to do so you will be blocked.
